Post  Jellyrolls 4/6/2013, 12:06 am

As most of us are already aware, the April 11, 2013 episode of Glee entitled "Shooting Star" will be a McKinley only episode. For the third time this season, the New York storyline and its stars Chris Colfer and Lea Michele will not be appearing in the episode. Cory Montieth is not scheduled to appear in the episode either, and though her name appears on the cast list for the episode, Naya Rivera is rumored not to be appearing.

Even though these cast members will not be appearing in Thursday's episode, they are being used to promote the episode. Chris was used in an image that GleeOnFox tweeted and posted on Facebook. Lea, Chris, Cory, and Mark Salling are all featured in the 30 second video promo Fox released today. None of the cast members who are heavily featured in the next episode are featured in this promo.

I know that many of us are frustrated and disappointed by the limited focus and songs on the New York side of the narrative. I think it's time we get organized, speak up and make our voices heard.

What can we do to make our voices heard?

Tune Out
If you are disappointed by the lack of NY in the episode, please turn off Glee that night. Do not watch the April 11th episode of Glee live or On Demand. Cancel your DVR recordings. Don't watch it on the Fox website.

#NoNYCNoGleeForMe Twitter Campaign
Please join us in the Twitter campaign #NoNYCNoGleeForMe when the episode is airing to express your disappointment in the NY narrative being left out. Please consider tweeting directly to the following twitter handles:

@MrRPMurphy (Ryan Murphy--Glee co-creator and executive producer)
@BFalchuk (Brad Falchuk--Glee co-creator and executive producer)
@GleeTV (Dante DiLoreto--Executive producer)
@GleeOnFox (Glee's offcial Twitter handle)
@gaudep (Gaude Paez Morose--Vice Presiden of Corporate Communications at Fox--she always tweets about the ratings)
@20CenturyFoxTV (The official twitter handle for Fox TV)
@hitchmichael (Glee writer)
@mhodgson207 (Glee writer)

You may also want to tweet the actors to show your support for them.

Thanks to Sue Brody for help fine tuning the Hash Tag for this campaign

Every bit helps, BigDestiny! I also recommend that when Glee on Fox posts about the episode, people post about the NY cast no appearing in the episode. Let's spread the word wherever we can.

Great idea, but please do not tweet Chris or any of the other actors. They are still friends with rest of the cast and it would put them in a uncomfortable position. Tweet them your love but leave this campaign out. In case it is successful, they will be aware of it soon enough. The campaign itself is already a major love letter.

Otherwise, I was already wondering why no one seemed to have organized it earlier in the season. Good luck guys, as I will be deep asleep when this is happening fanny2

As of now no Twitter or Facebook for me. I am withholding my viewership. I canceled my DVR recording for Glee. I doubt I will record it again after episode #18.

Me too. They think they can get away with neglecting the best actor (Chris), best actors (everyone else in NYC), best characters, best half of the show...and actually become "award worthy" just because they tell us that they are award worthy for doing so?! What do they think we are...lemmings?! I'm boycotting this episode. Evil or Very Mad

Normally, Kurt-less episodes don't really bother me, seeing as I know I'll see him again in the next one. But the fact that they are trying to call this one an Emmy worthy episode without their most talented actor?! It's very insulting.

You go, girl! I don't have a Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook, but I sure as hell will boycott this episode when it comes on and I will most likely will be voting it as crap-tastic on our poll. I feel like they are giving the middle finger to their most talented cast members by saying that it's Emmy worthy without them. As if Chris, Lea, Naya and the rest of them didn't make people fall in love with the show and their characters in the first place! How ungrateful, especially to Chris, who brought much of the show's critical acclaim for his acting, performing, and for his character. I suppose RIB are desperately trying to get people to move on and "fall in love" with the newbies, and this is their way of doing. Screw that!

Although, I might take a peek when the episode comes out on On Demand, I just won't be watching it live. I want the ratings for this episode to suffer, but I also have a morbid curiosity as to just how big of a trainwreck this episode will be, and how far from "Emmy worthy" it will actually be. Then, I can laugh about it on here. Twisted Evil

I wonder if they were joking and being sarcastic when they called it an Emmy worthy episode. How dare they call it an Emmy worthy episode without their Emmy nominated (several times) kid actor!

There's no danger of me adding to the ratings of this episode; since I don't live in the US. And if it's true that there's really no NYC at all in the episode, I won't even waste my internet data allowance downloading this episode.

The only way I can imagine the episode being award-worthy is if it's a McKinley adult characters-heavy episode. Matt Morrison, Jayma, Dot Marie Jones and Jane Lynch are still pretty good and talented actors in their own right. It's the McKinley students cast who are found wanting.

The interesting part will be how many people will stop watching during the episode.
A lot of people outside of the fandom are going to watch because they have not been warned about this being a NY-less episode with a school shooting. They will stop watching, and that will be the best indicator of how much this episode sucks.

I will download it the next morning, because I want to watch before I criticize and tear down, but I don't think that will affect the ratings in any way, as it is an illegal procedure. fanny2

I made an extra twitter account purely for fandom related things, so I'll be sure join in with this campaign.

Since I only watch for Chris anyway I haven't watched any of the McKinley only episodes and have made a point of cancelling them on our DVR when they air over here - this episode will be no exception.


Even though we've known for a while that there would be no NYC this episode I'm still bitter the traditional episode 18 solo is now a thing of the past dryy

Agree,I doubt I will ever watch the episode,but if I do I will rent the DVD it is on.Or watch it on Youtube,but will wait a long time to watch if I do.I doubt I will though. Especally since Chris is not even in one scene.

I think a lot of them are feeling the same as us. I've actually had a couple of Rachel fans reblog my tumblr post, and I've been interacting with some on twitter.

Some folks are a bit concerned about the hashtag #NoNYCNoGleeForMe being a bit too negative, but I think it's just a statement of our actions--without the NYC, Glee doesn't interest.

The bottom line is that we have been asking for more NY development all along, and we still only get about 20% focus there. They need to know that people are making a concious effort to tune out because of the lack of NY, and the NY cast members.

If we'd be at the middle of the season, I'd agree of the hashtag being too negative. Usually I also disagree with those Twitter trends as I find them rather useless anyway. But in this case, I think the frustration and disappointment is legit. Especially because their seems to be some rather harsh negotiations going on behind closed doors with RIB and FOX. So, it might actually help the cause to increase NYC screentime (for all actors. Not just Chris/Kurt) and decrease/(best case:eliminate) MK.

I think the hashtag is fine. It can be perceived as a bit negative, but not in a "Lima-sucks-so-I'm-not-gonna-watch" agressive way.
It says exactly what we want to say: that without any NY scenes Glee is not worth watching. It doesn't say that we only want NY scenes and no Lima at all. (although for many of us this is the case)
It's a 'threat' they need to take into consideration, if they don't want to let their ratings tank even further.

The only problem I see is that 4x18 will be an offensive episode, and I expect many (upset) tweets from Glee fans who want to express their disgust with the school shooting theme plus the Bram/I love you/Lord Tubbington storyline (think about the very vocal Brittana fans).
They will all be tweeting at the same time, and if there is a big uproar about any of that (like there already is on the sneak peek youtube video) the attention of Fox/RIB will probably be focused on those tweets, and our #NoNYCNoGleeForMe campaign will get lost in the turmoil.
OTOH: if there's an uproar of some kind the big bosses will take a closer look at the fans' responses on e.g. twitter, facebook and forums, than normally after an episode, and our protests will then be seen and taken into consideration as well.


Unfortunately I will be sound asleep during the twitter campaign, but I'll make sure to leave some comments about the episode on episode discussion sites like TWoP and Glee's facebook the next day. I encourage others to do so too: we need to get noticed!

Tweeting is only one element. I think posting on the Glee on Fox facebook page is important too, and you can do that anytime they are posting about it. Someone reads those comments because Glee On Fox responds to some of them.

So, whenever they make a post this week, just take a minute to express your disappointment by the lack of NY in the episode on the thread. We may even make others aware that there is no NYC in the episode, and maybe they'll tune out too.

You can also post comments on YouTube about it.
