In fact I had a moment of clarity while reading it. I was trying to work out why I was so bothered by a TV show and then I remembered that when I first started watching it I was recovering from a very long illness. The show gave me hope and I looked forward to watching it each week. I was so intrigued that there was finally a show on TV that spoke for the voiceless and that made me excited. however, the second half of season three has been a let down. As far as the finale is concerned I couldn't believe what I was watching. They had a whole year to figure out how to end the season and this was what they came up with? It’s so obvious that there’s a pecking order and I find this sad because I’ve invested emotionally in all of the characters on glee not just the ones that RIB decided to focus on. They couldn't even be bothered to give Mercedes a family and her relationship with Sam was glossed over towards the end of the season even though they're meant to be in love. I have no clue what was meant be going on between Joe and Quinn and the kiss between her and Puck was silly. Were Quinn and Joe together, or what? Mike and Tina were also dismissed. In fact Mercedes/Sam and Mike/Tina were portrayed from Santana's POV in the finale so we weren't allowed to know how they were feeling. I agree that the songs helped us to understand that these couples were sad about being parted but it wasn't enough. I thought the end with Rachel singing was totally unnecessary and hammy. To be honest I found it painful to watch and not in a good way.<br /><br />I’m not a “shipper” I’ve loved some of the relationship angst and I’ve also loved some of the friendships that have been built, eg Kurt and Mercedes and Quinn and Mercedes although they all crashed and burned and now everyone has to be Rachel’s friend. I don’t get why this is necessary. Kurt, Quinn and Santana all flocked to Rachel while Mercedes, Brittany and Tina were left out in the cold only to be defined by their relationships. I wasn’t sure what to make of Sam and Mercedes when they were first put together but I really do love them as a couple There has never been a relationship like theirs on TV so I was impressed when it seemed as though RIB were going full steam ahead with it. Flash forward to the second half of season three and it was like the writers either became nervous about it or they viewed it as a joke. This among other things, such as the fact that Tina was only allowed to be a star if she was Rachel has me wondering how inclusive the show really is. What I loved a bout Glee died a long time ago so I won’t be watching season four. I refuse to do that to myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-58556490999147538692012-05-25T06:58:30.400-04:002012-05-25T06:58:30.400-04:00I have to admit that I did sort of take it as Quin...I have to admit that I did sort of take it as Quinn helping him get his groove back, but I am SO tired of having to bend over backwards to create head-canon to make sense of this shit.

Epic takedown of an episode that de...Great review. Epic takedown of an episode that deserve to be eviscerated. <br />Sorry if I've already said this here, but sometimes I feel like the writes & producers of Glee don't actually watch the show!<br /><br />Others have already pointed out that Brittany would be academically ineligible to participate in New Directions, Cheerios and Student Government. I agree. And if Santana didn't realize Brittany was failing (and skipping class), how well do they know each other. <br /><br />Speaking of academics, so many storylines this season have been built around one big idiot plot device.<br /><br />Finn, Rachel, Kurt and Santana applied to ONE college each(okay, in Santana's case it was done for here). This is just plain dumb and it presumes the audience is made up of idiots. <br /><br />Glee takes place in Ohio, a real place. I used to live in the Ohio Valley, it's hard to throw a brick without hitting a good university. Ohio State, Ohio University, Case Western, Miami University, University of Cincinnati, and if you google their alumni lists, there's a decent list of famous actors & singers have graduated or attended those universities. <br /><br />Glee has already acknowledged that Ohio State exists (the hockey playing bully got a scholarship to OSU). But even if we ignore all these fine schools, it's still stupid to depict the kids as only applying to one school. <br /><br />Changing the subject:<br /><br />What (badly auto-tuned) songs will Finn sing while fighting the Taliban next season? I wonder if they'll stick with that thread, or just ignore it. <br /><br />For most of the season, I've been watching the show for 2 reasons:<br />1.Jane Lynch<br />2.Heather Morris<br /><br />Based on what Murphy,Falchuk and company have done to Sue & Brittany this year, those two may not be enough to keep me watching next season.J.A.

Al...Honestly.. like the best review of the episode!<br />Also I CRIED of laughter when finn ran after the departing train! lolololo<br /><br />Everything about the Brittana scenes I completely agree with! I can't believe how they treated Brittany, they COMPLETELY killed off her character. We all knew and LOVED Brittany as the funny/bitchy cheerleader with her random comments, but how they treated her this season is simply UNFORGIVABLE!<br /><br />I'm still so mad and to answer the poll question.. I like many fans of Brittany am CERTAINLY NOT going to watch S4 of glee! I just can't take it anymore, I only continued watching this shitfest of a season because of Brittana, but now they even can not save this show.<br /><br />Also how they keep fucking treating finn as a saint RAGES me. Ofcourse finn is NEVER at fault, what even is this load of bullcrap. I loved finn in s1, now I can't even look at his face without throwing something at the tv.. Instead of serenading him the club should have giving him a price of being the biggest asshole alive! <br />But ofcourse I'll bet my leg on it that this is only going to be worse in S4, soo.. I'M OUT GUYS.. can't waste my time and money on this shitfest anymore.<br /><br />Congratulations glee, you just lost another viewer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-68243030606242545512012-05-24T13:41:11.591-04:002012-05-24T13:41:11.591-04:00I have poked fun at Blaine in the past, but I thin...I have poked fun at Blaine in the past, but I think I'd rather watch the Blaine Show with his final high school year and seeing his friendships with the other soon-to-be-seniors grow and with more tension from Sebastian over The Rachel Show with her 'best gay' Kurt who isn't allowed to feel anything for himself because he has to be constantly supportive of Rachel and her hopes and dreams. <br /><br />Kurt you're a NYADA finalist... now stop celebrating your own victory and join the Rachel pity party posthaste! Kurt you nailed your NYADA audition!! Wipe away any joy, Rachel choked and you can't be happy now! Kurt, remember when you were humiliated by the entire junior class when they made you prom queen, you can't feel anxious now because your best friend forever just won the same thing for seniors and it's a huge triumphant victory, so slap on a smile, stand behind your best friend where you belong and put a glittering tiara on her head.<br /><br />Kurt, you didn't get into NYADA?

She can't get a 60% in even the most remedial class? How do neither Sue, nor Santana know about brittany's 0.0 GPA? brittany has been a star cheerleader for years. santana is supposed to be not only her girlfriend, but also her long-time genuine friend... brittany used to be portrayed as the only person Santana was nice to, which lent a lot of credence to the thought that Santana loves and was in love with her. Since Santana applied exactly nowhere it sure isn't like she had so much going on to not notice? did she just not care? doesn't fit with my opinion of santana, but again i'll admit that maybe my expectation has been completely compromised. <br /><br />but back to the 0.0, this makes me think that Becky's GPA is higher... which brings up the disturbing concept of how Becky's sexual interest is played a gross (b/c as a Downs kid she isn't traditionally pretty) while everyone is more than happy to have sex with Brittany b/c she's a tall, slender blonde, though very likely on a much lower mental level. They keep portraying britt as too dumb to live, so i am a lot weirded out by her extreme promiscuity (which was never discussed once she starting getting semi-monogamous w/ artie) b/c she probably doesn't have the capacity to consent! i was/am a huge brittana shipper b/c they used to bring out the best in each other, but it is hard to ship infantile!brit with anyone, and i definitely want more for Santana than a live mannequin. what happened to the britt with the weird logic, or the girl who last year seemed to 'understand' santana and wanted to help encourage her to come out w/o actually forcing it. the one who appeared to have some emotional intelligence? was that britt a figment of my imagination? or reading too much fan-fiction? but i feel like brittany is the one female character who was never fleshed out at all. everyone started out as a stereotype of something, but most got some depth, while she stayed that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-15284837247629913542012-05-24T12:49:15.851-04:002012-05-24T12:49:15.851-04:00Santana - oh, Santana. you've been my favorit...Santana - oh, Santana. you've been my favorite character since middle season 1, probably around the Power of Madonna, when i realized you could sing! maybe she was never intended to be this way, but I always thought Rivera was playing her intentionally to convince us that there was 'something' there under the spiky, bitch persona and i've long had a soft spot for the bad-ass character with a walls around her nougaty heart. santana fan-fiction is a guilty pleasure of mine, but now I'm thinking i must've let my head!canon and fanon interpretations of Santana color my expectations from the actual character. I just expected so much more. How did she not apply to ANY colleges? Where the hell was Sue or Pillsbury (b/c at my school the guidance counselor's job was to help you apply to colleges!) back in the fall when the actual application process should've happened for everyone? Sue, this is your co-captain!! Who apparently, we learned in rapid fire dialog) helped you win a national championship in cheerleading this year.. and brittany had to be the one to suggest you help her find a cheering scholarship? i'm so disappointed for santana, b/c i have always pictured her as an ambitious girl who would make plans to get out of Lima... and so disappointed in Sue, who've i've always pictured as somehow having the best interests of the kids in mind (somewhere way in the back of her mind maybe). and while i liked that we met santana's mom, it felt like a combination of stunt casting with deux ex machina. and again perhaps too much head!canon, but i can't put how her parents are so supportive of her sexuality with the type of parents who get their kid a breast augmentation at 16/17!! it just does not compute for me. but mama lopez appears as both her birth mom and her fairy god mother.. don't want to go to Louisville, KY? here, take this money and blow it all in NYC. girl has zero plan, but just go have a good time dear. there are actually plenty of City University of New York schools that she could've applied to, except oh wait, NOBODY thought to get her to apply (including herself) and Schue was worried about her until months after application deadlines had passed. <br /><br />now that they've set up Santana and Rachel as the only 2 officially in NYC.... i'd would have thought they'd make one hell of a spin-off. They have odd-couple written all over them. Rachel and Kurt are too similar, but these two would be at constant loggerheads... and at least in the beginning pining over their lost loves. it'd be great, if it were written by someone like, say Joss Whedon! but no one in the #glee writer's room knows how to write stories about women, so we'd probably have some straight, white guy come in and date them both and get them to fight each other over him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-5546570102535955202012-05-24T12:48:17.119-04:002012-05-24T12:48:17.119-04:00Tina - i think you wrote somewhere that Tina is &#...Tina - i think you wrote somewhere that Tina is 'sneaky awesome' and i couldn't agree more. she isn't neccessarily my favorite character (b/c she gets so little time) but this year, but two of my favorite episodes featured her heavily. go figure, RIB! in Props, we hadn't previously see any Rachel/Tina friendship moments (they don't meet in the bathroom and angstily tell each other how they are friends, now) but unlike that other friendship, we saw Tina step up huge and do something that a real friend would. Sure this ep had to be about the seniors, but maybe graduation could've stretched out over 2 eps to see what the juniors are feeling about it (beyond their adoration of hero!Finn) if we'd skipped some of the absolute garbage episodes like IKAG or the holiday wastes.<br /><br />Quinn - my new head!canon is that Quinn was using her manipulative skills (though is much skill required to manipulate Puck?) for the greater good of giving Puck the confidence to just barely pass his test. so thanks for that!! otherwise i just can't stomach that she was in love with him b/c he ate a shaker of pepper. maybe now that quinn and rachel have train passes, they will occassionally hang out and actually BE the friends they keep proclaiming to be. i thought Q and Sue was a decentish payoff, and am not bothered that Sue might think herself evil. i like that sue is about the only person to give credence to how tough quinn really had it. it wasn't just rich, white girl problems! but she wasn't really a cheerleader for all that long, just parts of various years... and like most relationships on the show we didn't see much meaningful interaction between the 2, but we were just TOLD about it once or twice. not that that means Sue couldn't still admire quinn's fortitude, but why exactly will quinn miss sue? <br /><br />Rachel - you kind of hit the nail on the head, so not much for me to say. he brain was clearly harvested by aliens somewhere early in the season and she's been inhabited by aliens ever since. Carmen would be furious if she knew that the girl who had annoyed her for so long to get another chance woudl just toss it away. I'll admit that Lea Michelle and Cory Monteith had me almost tearing up but that was on the strength of their acting and not their material. They just looked so convincingly heart-broken then i was moved a little. if i look at Nationals as the season finale, and Graduation as the coda that sort of sets up the next season (like Restless did for buffy, except this wasn't anywhere near as awesome) then i can stomach that we didn't end on the big group number and instead ended on the rachel berry show. we got that last week. but still, the HOW she got to NYC is just so wrong: ie, through no will of her own. the only thing worse, might've been if they'd legitimately tied her hands and feet w/ some rope and stuffed her in a suitcase. actually, that'd be better b/c then it would be clearly seen for what it was: the removal of her ability to chose her own fate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-72156102381741994352012-05-24T12:46:43.366-04:002012-05-24T12:46:43.366-04:00i enjoyed some bits: sit down you're rocking t...i enjoyed some bits: sit down you're rocking the boat (complete with gloves and tragic choreography), Schue's admission of blackmail (finally!), the end of Finchel! (FINALLY! even if the 'how' was tragically bad), Single Ladies wasn't perfect, but was an enjoyable nod to one relationship they somehow manage to not screw over... and i agree that the 'You get what you give' choreography was simple, yet powerful. <br /><br />but its continued lack of agency for female characters (will the real rachel berry please stand up?) and the absolutely nauseating Finn/man-worship.... just... i can't either. how did glee get so bad? was it always this bad and the singing and dancing just distracted me from its flaws? serious misogyny... oh look something shiny? <br /><br />Mercedes - saw some decent growth, even though they through her under the bus with a diva fit to get her there. i genuinely liked her leadership in the TTones and a few eps back she announced that she got in to at least one (maybe more) colleges. It seemed like she had her act together. But now, Sam violates her privacy by uploading a video (and simultaneously the privacy of Santana and Brittany who were also in the video and not asked if they wanted it published), but she gets a miraculous recording contract out of it and so it was 'for her own good', b/c the pattern is super clear that straight, white men know what is best for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-91078833129610248462012-05-24T10:44:02.287-04:002012-05-24T10:44:02.287-04:00I feel really pissed off about Rachel.

Her struggle has always been to let other people share the spotlight, make friends and realize that other people matter. It would have been lovely if her price for managing to do that was getting to her dreams with the help of other people (Tina, Jesse). Instead, they make her give up her dreams for those other people and Finn have to practically force her onto a train? WTF, Glee writers?!<br /><br />In contrast, all the seniors who have never been shown to be as goal-oriented as Rachel are leaving partners and friends and family behind to go their things, no discussion required.

They didn't even try to be subtle about it this time either, they just straight up threw it in the dialogue. Really Kurt, you wanna dedicate your song to the guys in your group, who in large bullied you before New Directions, continued to make fun of you while in New Directions, called your stuff "faggy" and didn't actually interact with all the much? What about the first person you came out to, who told you she was your friend no matter what? Mercedes who? The girls who helped clean off slushy facials and had slumber parties with you? The girls who danced Beyonce with you? Clearly love and friendship and acceptance from GIRLS don't matter. Thanks for making that clear Kurt. And the Finn worship, AGAIN. Ugh. Glee has been offending me pretty much every episode this season, but I haven't been this disgusted since IKAG. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have though Hodgeson wrote this episode.<br /><br />Also, congratulations Glee! You failed Britt! That means McKinley High now has (at least) 2 less national championships under it's belt, as any school funded team she was a member of is automatically disqualified from any and all competitions for letting a student with a failing GPA participate. So New Directions did not, in fact, win Nationals. But hey, Puck gets all the help he needs to pass one test (which he only managed a C on even though he pretty much knew which questions were gonna be), and Finn can't wash his own balls properly, so it makes perfect sense that a member of a winning Brainiacs team, the Senior Class President, wouldn't graduate instead of them. Pardon my language, but fuck you, Glee.<br /><br />The only good thing this episode was Rachel Berry getting to New York. The way she got there was completely screwed up, and yet another testament to the terrible turn the writers took her personality and ambition to, but New York is where she belongs. (As a side note, how on earth is Finn even going to get through basic training? He can't even handle Santana making fun of him, there's no way he'd be able to hack being constantly humiliated by his drill sergeant.)<br /><br />...Fuck you, Glee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-50237022294853522442012-05-24T01:58:55.828-04:002012-05-24T01:58:55.828-04:00Thank you for writing this up.

I started watching Glee to support Darren, and once I caught up, my hope was that everyone would graduate and Glee would just quit while they were (kinda) ahead. So I want to watch for Darren, Chris, and Kurt and Blaine's relationship. But I may end up doing what I did this season, which was skipping three or four episodes in a row and finding out if there was anything worth watching later on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-13077512552255389032012-05-24T01:44:41.672-04:002012-05-24T01:44:41.672-04:00I agree with you about Finn stealing Brittany'...I agree with you about Finn stealing Brittany's part in Santana's coming out but I have to disagree about Puck and Kurt. As I recall, the class president story was Kurt's first, not Brits. As for Puck, having a similar storyline does not equal stealing. He's been academically bad since first season and while I agree that it's annoying that Brit's issues were not addressed and his were, that doesn't mean he "stole" her storyline. Finn stole her storyline in a place that had nothing to do with him, its different for the other two I think. They had their own stories which just happened to be similar to hers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-70338477441164090642012-05-24T01:40:39.966-04:002012-05-24T01:40:39.966-04:00P.S: I´m not watching the season 4 Unless they fix...P.S: I´m not watching the season 4 Unless they fix their mess, which I doubt.<br /><br />-MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-37146590686794276502012-05-24T01:39:14.502-04:002012-05-24T01:39:14.502-04:00Agreed.

They make them talk about boys, funny cause neither of them put much feeling to their words.<br /><br />I liked the Quinn & Puck moment, I felt it was Quinn´s way to apologize to him for calling him a Lima loser, there was no romantic love involved, and it was sweet of her to help him. <br /><br />-MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-71679870343290819412012-05-24T00:59:47.578-04:002012-05-24T00:59:47.578-04:00i did too. is like the only way to make the Sue...i did too. is like the only way to make the Sue's speech make sense about her being "less evil" than her.

I have no plans to watch season 4 so, I feel okay. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-5023962610883410542012-05-23T19:58:02.247-04:002012-05-23T19:58:02.247-04:00Thanks for writing this up. I've actually been...Thanks for writing this up. I've actually been reading your glee reports for awhile now, and geez, you've hit the nail right on the head. Especially for this finale. I was absolutely enraged by everything - honestly, the writers are such dicks and I feel sorry for the cast members to go through all of the shit. By the time I finished your report, I could not stop laughing, so thank you for the sarcasm! I really enjoyed it! I'd be lying if I said that I'm not an avid RachelxQuinn stan, but honestly, the whole "can't believe we're friends" convo is just overwritten. YES, WE KNOW THE ARE GOOD FRIENDS NOW. LET'S MOVE ON PLEASE. Don't get me started on the QxP scene. That shit came out of nowhere and was a waste of time. Ugh, that whole scene disgusted me. Quinn took like three steps forward in previous episodes and then she came tumbling down and went a bajillion steps back. I feel sad for Brittany though, because yes I completely agree with you, she was supposed to be that kind of character. As for the FxR deal, I'm glad they broke up. BUT. Ugh, what you said up there is true and I hate it. I hate that choices have to be made FOR Rachel. And even when they broke up, to me, it still seemed like Finn is the hero in all this. No. Maybe I'm saying this because I'm biased, but that relationship has been unhealthy since the start. I tried to go with it, but I couldn't; the negatives of that relationship outweighed the positives by a long shot.<br /><br />I think most of us know by now that Glee is a show where men are praised and women are simply shrugged off - and those who deny that, well...I don't know what you're watching. I think it's after 2x02 (Duets), the show lost it's mojo. They had some redeeming qualities in different episodes, but I don't think it was enough. This finale was NOT satisfying. It failed to bring the originality of what the show was supposed to be. The thing is, I just think that these writers don't even give two flying shits about their show anymore. They don't outline anything or think it through. You can tell with all of the writing, plot and dialogue. It's a shame, really, because I used to be obsessed with this show but I just lost hope for it altogether. Now I don't know if I'm gonna watch season 4. I didn't really watch the first few eps of season 3 to be honest. I'll probably do the same again, but I'm not gonna be too excited as I was when the show first came out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-38301862159170433182012-05-23T18:26:56.357-04:002012-05-23T18:26:56.357-04:00Am I the only person who saw the Quinn/Puck scene ...Am I the only person who saw the Quinn/Puck scene as Quinn being her manipulative self, but in a nicer way? <br /><br />Puck was going to crash and burn on that exam largely due to a lack of confidence, so Quinn decided to pull him out of that funk by, ummh, putting enough spin on their history that parts of it have now achived escape velocity, and laying a kiss on him. Which, to be fair, would work as a confidence booster on any teenager with a pulse.Izeinwinternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583232612899692330.post-20927129232994723132012-05-23T17:35:39.114-04:002012-05-23T17:35:39.114-04:00Every word of this review was truth.

Dianna and Mark seemed embarrassed to be saying that retconny crap.SNeaker328https://www.blogger.com/profile/12370548505528028529noreply@blogger.com
