Is it ever stated ''why'' Mercedes is such an outcast at the beginning? She's pretty friendly and easy to get along with (unlike Rachel), she's outgoing enough to make friends (unlike Tina), and she doesn't have an outstanding trait that opens her up to bullying (unlike Kurt and Artie), considering that there doesn't seem to be a huge racism problem at McKinley (see Azimio being among the most popular kids). It seems odd that someone as inoffensive and kind as Mercedes doesn't have any friends outside Glee club.

*** I took this to mean that "Junior Members" of the Warblers were what is it they call it, underclassmen? lower classmen? That is Freshmen and Sophomores (first/second year of high school or grade 9 and 10). Senior members are Upper classmen or Juniors and Seniors (third/final year of high school or grade 11 and 12).

* Blaine [[YourCheatingHeart cheated on Kurt]]. Not a MoralEventHorizon per se, but Blaine decides that Kurt is to blame because he wasn't there [[ImAManICantHelpIt to make him not cheat]]. And the little pity party of one he throws himself in 'The Role You Were Born To Play' (the Self-Appointed Victim for Blaine, methinks), complete with hypocritical song choice ('Hopelessly Devoted To You', yeah, so devoted he did the nasty with another guy in his honour) and he's supposedly in the right. Excuse me?

** Kurt was definitely retconned to being a sophomore, Chris Colfer mentioned it in an interview with him and Jane Lynch towards the beginning of the season. As for what Kurt is doing in junior classes, blame the writers and their seeming TheyJustDidntCare attitude towards internal consistency.

** Well, as far as Kurt's age goes, it's safe to assume he's a junior-- Burt explicitly says that Kurt's sixteen in Theatricality (during the infamous scene, if you feel compelled to check). Since it's just before regionals, relatively close to the end of the year, Kurt has presumably already had his birthday this school year, making him a sophomore. Therefore, the grade bump makes him a junior. As far as Blaine goes... I don't know, maybe he'll use [[AVeryPotterMusical magic or something.]]

** Some schools I know of won't let people transfer in for senior year; if you want in, you go back to third year. Blaine could be a junior in McKinley, but old enough to be graduating.

** He was THE man in campus when wee first meet him. The most popular boy in a popular club, were everyone catered to his desires(Even if he didn't asked for it). In McKinley he is just one more face and is thus out of his comfort zone. His wide eyed idealism is because he wants to return to how he was before.

* In the original script of the pilot, Rachel is initially written as more of a team player. When Mr. Schuester proposes he give her all the solos, Rachel not only ''refuses'', but she also explains to him that the club isn't about solos, it's about duets, it's a team sport. That would have made her character more interesting and likable. However, they changed it completely. Why??
