Glee 1x22 Regionals
I have like a million things to post about, but somehow after *living* through exciting things, posting about them can feel like a job I have to do, so I'm going togive myself a bit of a breather before tackling it. In the meantime, let's talk about
I cried, not gonna lie! Sometimes this show can really pull the heartstrings. I wasn't sobbing though, like I did for Don't Rain On My Parade - that performance felt much more epic and special than the Journey medley did, but maybe that's just because I worship Lea Michele. Idk, I didn't particularly think they deserved to win with the medley, fun as it was. *ducks thrown tomatoes!*
I'm glad that Jonathan Groff got SUCH an amazing send off (I assume he'll disappear since he's graduating high school). His Bohemian Rhapsody was PHENOMENAL, and I loooved how it worked intercut with Quinn giving birth. However, I'm annoyed with the epic character assassination of Jessie - he was only trying to help Rachel's mother contact her, but the show is letting Rachel vilify him with a much worse motive, and asserting that he has "no heart," when that is clearly untrue. It sucks that that's where things will be left with his character. And there was such softness in his eyes for Rachel sometimes when his team was abusing New Directions, but then he smashed the egg on her in the end. Meh. I guess I shouldn't expect anything better out of this show, the one where EVERYONE ACTS LIKE A DICK if it adds drama.
Mr Schue is - kind of a terrible person in a lot of ways. That didn't stop me from weeping at To Sir With Love, though, because all the kids looked so heartfelt (why didn't Quinn or Puck get lines?). I cried even more at Somewhere Over the Rainbow though - all the little moments were so sweet, especially Quinn and Mercedes holding hands and Kurt grabbing their joined hands joyfully. Eeee! I've felt like Quinn has disappeared for this back half of the season, and it was so refreshing to have scenes and lines and awesomeness out of her. I have a big ol crush, and her smile makes everything better. <3
I LOVE that Rachel's mom is adopting Quinn's baby. Really love it.
I won't love if next season is the Finn And Rachel Are In Love Awwwww show. I thought it was handled well in this episode - i.e., kept tertiary and brief - but I have zero emotions for Finn and a million emotions for Rachel, so it's really annoying and conflicting to have them put together. Rachel + Jessie made my heart SING, even if I knew it was theoretically false, but Rachel + Finn just leaves me bored. I guess I can just be happy I'll get to see Rachel smile, because that also lights up my life.
Speaking of Rachel, I LOVE RACHEL! I don't even know why! Lea has charmed me so entirely. All her little moments in the episode, laughing with joy at her fellow Glee members, flinging her arms around Mr Schue when they got their year, starting immediately on talk of rehearsals and protesting "but I have ideas!" when Mr Schue sat her down. I AM SO CHARMED. I will not apologize for it! ♥
A lot of people threw around the love word this episode! THAT'S A BIG WORD KIDS. STEP AWAAAAY FROM THE BIG WORD. I'm talking to you too, Mr. Schue! It's so cheap that they torpedoed the Emma/Will relationship 2 episodes after it started, and then came around to a big climax on it AGAIN in the finale. Lame! It's especially lame because, again, I love Emma but don't like Will. I'M SPYING A THEME HERE!
Ah, Glee. I don't even know what to do with you. It's been..... a season, let's just say that.
