Glee - The Finale!

Well.....pretty much all I can say is "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"!


That was a really sweet episode, adorable in fact. -I never thought Glee would make me cry, but it did!

I must say though, 'Journey' was nothing like I expected. I knew it would involve Regionals, and that Quinn would have her baby. ....But I sort of expected a lot more of it to revolve around the Regionals performance than it did.

While I loved the Journey mash-up, it wasn't quite the same as the sectionals performance....it just didn't hit that same spot. -And a whole ep (2 eps...actually, I don't remember the last time we had one) without a Rachel solo! I must say that dissapointed me a little. As glad as I am that they are spreading around the songs, and letting more of them sing -Still waiting for Brittany's turn though, I kinda hoped we'd go out with a big Lea Michele belt! But who am I kidding, I still really loved the ep.
----Just looked it up, there was no technical solo for Rachel in these whole 9 eps...Gives You Hell was the only one, not that Poker Face and I Dreamed a Dream weren't AWESOME, I just like me some proper Rachel solos from time to time! ------

Finally Emma appeared! I know Jayma Mays has been busy filming The Smurfs movie, but still....I've missed me some Emma! And I'm so glad that they all fought to keep Glee club. Even Sue, who it turns out has a soul after all! -Gotta say though, not loving the Glee version of Olivia Newton-John....she's just painful!

Oh and I can't believe they didn't win! I never thought they'd actually lose! Although, kudos to the writers for not making the Glee-world perfect, so that they always win. I was just always in the belief that they would win Regionals, and then maybe lose Nationals....but it was too sad, I mean, I was CRUSHED! However, not that we saw much of the other teams, but I'm not sure they really tried hard enough to win. I mean all season they go on about their numbers and stuff...and then don't pull out the big guns for the performance - Let Brittany dance, let Rachel and Mercedes SING OUT....etc. -Although I totally loved their outfits! Pretty pretty dresses!


Ok...so I was all for Quinn not keeping her baby, because while I loved Spike back in the day (Degrassi Jnr High/Degrassi High), I don't think it would have worked for Quinn to keep her baby. The whole Shelby adopting the baby shocked me - and yet I feel I should have seen it coming (I did once she showed up and all....but still....I even mentioned the whole Shelby/Rachel similarity to Quinn and her baby recently). But I just hope there will be a chance to bring Idina Menzel back, because she rocks and as previously gushed, I love having her on tv, so I get to see her!

Anyways, back to Quinn...I kinda hope she doesn't move back in with her mum....does that make me a bad person? We'll see. Not that I like the idea of Quinn being the Glee Club lost puppy, passed around from home to home, her mum annoys me. Unless her mum is really changing her ways, it might be better off for Quinn to stick with Merecedes - they have formed a very odd and unexpected bond...but I like it.
-Just let Quinn sing more!

Oh and I didn't really care about Jesse's song....I mean I love Bohemian Rapsody, but meh...SO over Jesse. And having that song playing while Quinn gave birth was a little weird...
Oh and so not caring about Rachel and Finn as a couple - I could take it or leave it really. They were being kinda cute though. -I kinda feel the same way about Emma and Will...I like the idea, but don't really care if it happens or not. It might be more fun to find better more suited characters to bring in!

But moving on...When the kids all sang 'To Sir, With Love' it got me all choked up. It was so sweet, and pretty and I loved it! Might be my fave song of the ep. I also loved Mr Schuester's rendition of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'...although I was sorta hoping that Rachel/the Glee Club were gonna sing it....but Matt Morrison with Mark Salling did a great job, and I love that version too! And I love all the interactions between the Glee Club members, showing how far they've come as a group, as friends since the beginning. Quinn more than anyone I guess. But it was very sweet.


I have no idea what I'm gonna do with myself until I get to see next season....which probably won't be until after the US trip...I guess I will just have to rewatch all the eps, and listen to the music till I wear it out! Glee I love you, come back soon! :)
