Glee

[missmystic]

I enjoyed the wedding ep. I loved Rachel's concern for Burt and Carol about her moving on from Finn, that was touching and realistic. I'm glad Brittana and Klaine are married now, we can check that off the to do list lol. But I don't get why Klaine had to change their tuxes. I actually thought the white looked nicer, and made more sense. But whatever. I also though it was cute how the moms did a number with the Trouble Tones, and the boys were all looking embarrassed lol. Tina has become such a joke. I wish they hadn't taken her character down such a long bad road. I'm glad Mike didn't say yes, because that would have been ridiculous. But I do wish they had gotten back together at least.

Only 5 episodes left ... I hope it all ends well.

Yeah I hate how Tina's character has kinda just became the Glee punching bag and the show doesn't really treat her as a real character anymore which is a shame cause I like her character.

I had a feeling that Mike wouldn't say yes right away and that's because knowing how Glee treats Tina, I figured something outrageous or embarrassing would happen to her once again, though it didn't turn out as bad as I thought. It wasn't about Mike being with someone else or not loving her anymore so that was a good thing.

Though it would have been a bit weird for them to suddenly propose as well. Not everyone in the Glee club needs to suddenly get paired off and married just cause the show is ending. That's not really realistic. A couple can be endgame as being in a simple relationship and not have to all of a sudden produce a wedding.

This latest episode makes me wish even more we had an entire season with these newbies! I like every single one of them where as with the season four newbies I only liked a few of them.

Most of the problems with the newbies this episode had to all be solved in one episode given the 13 ep time crunch and having to fit in sectionals and all that. Otherwise I'd have no doubt that these storylines would have taken more than an episode to get over and come to a mutual understanding like the past seasons drama between the glee members.

I'm really loving Spencer's character! I like how he's completely confident with himself and upfront. We've had the whole football player pride (Finn and Sam) and in the closet (Karofsky/Santana) storylines already so I'm glad that the Glee writers went with something different when they combined these tropes into one character.

That little kid was so high maintenance but he was also so cute! It was funny seeing him giving even Sue the runaround haha. I wasn't expecting him to join the Glee club either so that was a surprise! It makes this round of newbies all the more unique having such a young member among them. Ugh I wish we had more time with them!

This episode also featured several recent song covers so I really enjoyed the music numbers for this episode!

The Glee club also gained two members, bringing the total up to 8. Which conveniently leaves 4 spots open that they could easily have Marley, Jake, Ryder, and Unique fill. There's only 3 episodes left to devote to finding members. So unless in one episode they'll suddenly gain 4 random fillers, they may go with familiar faces.

Although the random fillers wouldn't be odd if they wanted to keep the spotlight on their newbies to get singing parts. That guy that Spencer is dating who joined seems like he'll be regulated to just singing in the background.

Yes, I enjoyed this last episode a lot. I love that we got to actually know the new characters a little more - Spencer/Roderick/New kid sl was cute and I also enjoyed Madison/Mason/Jane sl as well. As for Madison and Mason I had no interest in them and Mason really turned that around this episode. So I'm glad that they are taking the time to give us more even though we only have a few episodes left. 

I liked the songs this epi too - best bar mitzvah ever! I do have to say that I think the original Glee club were better dancers - not really feeling the dancing this season. I miss Santana, Britt, Mike, Sam, Puck....I feel like they were just better dancers overall.

Two episodes left with the competition the next episode! We're really getting down to the wire!

On to the episode, did anyone else laugh when Blaine mentioned Dalton being completely burned to the ground? It's amazing the crazy stuff this show just throws at you some times haha.

Though as absurd as it was, this sudden plot point kills two birds with one stone. It has the New Directions well above the quota needed to compete, and this keeps Vocal Adrenaline as the main 'enemy' at the moment. Even more so with Sue's fallout with principal and her now directing Vocal Adrenaline.

Other small points is that this way Blaine is no longer on the antagonist side with a rival choir and it's no longer outrageous for him to be talking 'Glee' talk with people who are supposedly his rival when it comes to set lists. This also lets us enjoy the Warblers one last time with a good amount of screen time without cutting corners for songs with having to allocate time with what would have been three main groups of New Directions, Warblers, and Vocal Adrenaline and then any other filler groups in the background.

Also loved the little jab the Warblers had at Will's dance choreography because we all know how well the Warblers do at synchronized dancing haha. It was also great to see the Warblers still holding onto pride for their academy. With time constraints their wasn't much of a chance to capitalize more on Jane's story arc with the Warblers and her reluctance to feel happy about them joining. It also would have been fun to see an episode or two of the Warblers adjusting to McKinley. Or are they just in the Glee club but not the school, I don't remember if that was specified or not.

Anyways the end was such a nice shock as I didn't really think about them 'combining' the two. I thought that one side or the other would just give in. And a part of me also wanted to see the Warblers in normal clothes too haha. But loved seeing McKinley's trade mark red combined with the Warblers style of blazers! It certainly beats generic red shirts lol.

I can't believe there are only 2 episodes left. I'm actually sad lol. I didn't think I would be, but I am. I really hope it all ends well, and not in some terribly disappointing and ridiculous way instead.

Yeah Glee seems like one of those shows that could go on forever, or have several seasons worth at least. Sure the kids would change constantly but I think that would also be the fun appeal of it. New kids to get attached to, new voices, singing talent, and of course drama lol.

Just thinking of how this will all be over in two episodes and that Glee will never be covering songs again is really what gets to me. Sometimes there are songs I hear and don't like but a Glee cover of it makes me love the song. There are times where I only like the Glee incarnation. Now for future reference there will likely be moments when I think, this would have been a good song for Glee to cover or wondering how Glee would have tackled a song and the scenario for it.

I do feel we will be in for a great finale though, at least with the intention of having everything getting solved/going smoothly for everyone. I was a bit up in the air with whether New Directions would win/lose at sectionals since they could also lose and still be happy about it. Have Will give a pep talk and say that next year they'll come back even better and end it on the note of 'Things never change' with a nostalgia ending.

Though now that they went out of their way to outright destroy Dalton, getting rid of that competition and in addition to having them join and becoming a full on elite choir, having them lose would seem a bit silly and womp womp lol.

[Somerhaldered]

Yes, before they combined the teams, I thought there was no way the New Directions could win - justifiably. But now that they've combined them with the Warblers, I feel like they've got the numbers and the talent has been rounded out. Now, I feel like they definitely have a chance to beat Vocal Adrenaline because in the sectionals, both of those teams were awesome. I love the new red jackets as well. 

I thought the dancing comment was hilarious because that is exactly what I said last week, that the dancing was sub-par, lol. 

The finale has to be great, I just feel like a show this special (I do feel like they had something different and special), has to go out with a great ending and giving us the "feels" that we need to say goodbye to "our" school.

[missmystic]

Only 1 episode left! I'm so sad lol. I really didn't expect to be this sad. It's such a terrible show! LOL
But I really am. I'm going to miss the music, that's the main thing. I'm REALLY going to miss the music. I hope it's a great finale. I look forward to hearing what you guys think!

Meanwhile, what did you think of the last episode? I found myself pretty excited to see Jesse St. James! As loveable as Sam is, I have to admit I'd rather see Rachel with Jesse. He understands her better, they have more in common. But I guess we'll see what happens.

[Deleted]

I enjoyed last episode! Vocal Adrenaline singing Mickey had me rolling though. All I could think of was Bring it On lol. I loved all of New Directions selections though. Of course I don't think any of us found the announcements for who would win suspenseful. It also tied in with the whole trophy segment at the end and all the flashbacks, one that included Finn. So that was a nice nostalgia trip lol.

[This whole post is a Spoiler Alert if you haven't seen the finale ] 

Oh my goodness - 2009! It was great seeing it all from the beginning again but I couldn't help but cry the second that Finn appeared on screen! Love that song and I always think of Glee when I hear it. It is so sad that Finn and Rachel didn't get a chance to be end game. 



In the finale, I was disappointed we didn't get to at least see their performance for Nationals. But I guess they had a lot to get through and couldn't spend the extra 10 minutes on it. Will getting to be principal and creating more glee groups was awesome. I'm glad we got to see a flash forward to how everyone is doing. When Rachel won the Tony, her speech was so genuine and I started to cry - again! - when Will did, haha.

Love that we got to see the entire original cast for the last song - even some of the glee club from last season made a split second appearance, lol. Aaaand I teared up one last time at the final shot. 

All in all, they did a great job wrapping it up even though it seemed a bit half done in the beginning of the season. This is one of those shows I've always enjoyed for entertainment value. Now that it's over I'm not broken up about it but I am glad that they did it justice in the end.

End scene. Fade to black.

[Deleted]

Yeah I enjoyed 2009 and seeing how it all started once again! It almost felt like new because it was so long ago. And then being able to see Glee's first song performance together in red shirts and Finn once more singing on our screens was great!

The finale in itself I enjoyed it, had fun seeing these characters one last time. There were some things that had me a bit confused on some of the direction for this five year time skip. When Rachel's husband came in, I had no idea who it was at first. I thought it was some random guy made to come in and look like Finn, and say encouraging things that Finn would say lol.

It really didn't make sense to me why they had Rachel marry Jesse in the end. I know Jesse's character has changed but the drama between Jesse, Finn, and Rachel in the earlier seasons kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. And knowing that Finchel was ultimately endgame, I don't particularly like the fact that in the end she went back to Jesse after everything.

I also don't get why Glee had all that build up with Samchel in the end for it all to amount to nothing in the end. Rachel even turned down the part to act the main female lead against Jesse's male one down, so we can't even think, 'Whoa they must have really connected when they did their roles together!'

If not Sam, then I would have preferred Rachel to end up alone. Of course this didn't take away my enjoyment for the finale since as you mentioned I really didn't care much for endgame pairings and watched for entertainment. It's mainly just a pet peeve of mine not getting why writers would waste time and development writing on a couple they weren't going with anywhere in the end and if they had decided on Jesse then they could have easily fit him into the episodes, perhaps him being a part time mentor to New Directions while also having his moments with Rachel and encouraging her about Broadway.

All that aside I love seeing things come full circle with Rachel getting a Tony. I think what would have made Rachel's speech of her Tony be more tear inducing was if there was a mention of Finn in it as well and also an empty chair with Finn's name tag on it or something. Also her being a surrogate mother for Klaine was also a surprise to me lol. I think there was a moment somewhere in Glee where they may had a line of dialogue hinting at this if I'm not mistaken, either way that took me by surprise haha.

The best moments as you mentioned was the end and seeing even the minor Glee kids who were perhaps only in Glee club for one season or so come and dance on the stage. Then you practically just had the whole cast regardless dancing lol I was almost expecting the camera men and directors to jump up on stage.

It's also great seeing how far the Glee club has come! Someone on tumblr made this gifset that showed, 'First Day of Glee Club' from the very first time when it only had the five original members to the shot in the finale when the room was packed.

It's a great note to end on seeing how all their efforts in Glee managed to change things so much to even having McKinley become an art school and we know that the Glee club will thrive and continue for many generations.

Yeah, you know I kind of just bew it off - it did seem like a cop out just to get her with someone but not have it be a random. A random would have been ok for me - why does everyone have to end up with someone from high school or their past? You mean in 5 years of being in NY, going to Niata and performing, she never met anyone else? I guess that's why they brought Jesse back the episode before, so we could be reminded of him and see that they had some sort of chemistry still. But yeah, it was just like "Oh, she married him?"

Being alone would have made more sense too especially since she is currently a surrogate for Klaine - what husband wants her to spend the early years of their marriage carrying someone else's baby? He probably should have just been referenced as her fiancé or something.

Yes, I like that they threw that in so we knew that they wouldn't likely hit anymore road blocks of budget cuts or anything else. Long live McKinley, lol!

You're right about Rachel being a surrogate and Jesse being oh so okay with it. I mean it's understandable but at the same time there's absolutely no connection between Jesse and Klaine. To Jesse it's like who are these guys and why go through all this effort for them? If this was Sam it would have made a lot more sense, we know his bond with Klaine and the Glee club and I could see him being okay and excited with Rachel being Klaine's surrogate mother.

Though in the end as you said this something we can easily blow off as eh whatever. It's surprising not seeing Sam end up with either Samchel or Samcedes though lol. It's more hilarious than anything, especially knowing how these two fandoms were at each other's throats and were so sure of endgame respectively with all the 'hints' and whatnot. Glee is just Glee haha. There's no deep context of scrutinizing and analyzing every scene for hidden meanings since most things get dropped at a hat or laughed/written off as a joke by Glee's own characters sometimes haha.
