As requested, here are my thoughts.

1. How do you have Cheyenne Jackson guest star multiple times in a season and have him sing 0 times? Meanwhile, Paltrow sang 3893459034 songs? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

I'm 10 episodes behind and not feeling compelled to catch up and this is just one more nail in that coffin.

I did enjoy the latter part of the season overall, if that helps. But I really watch this show with low expectations re: characterization, continuity, romance, etc. I don't let myself really get invested.

There have been some great songs that you've missed. Charice has a couple, and Jon and Lea's "Rolling the Deep" was fantastic, IMO. But seriously, HOW CAN CHEYENNE NOT GET A SONG?? The mind boggles.

I can't believe that he didn't sing! Mind boggling. I listened to Jon and Lea because how could I not? But I think that's the only song I've heard in 10 episodes. I'll think about watching them during the summer.

Easy, Paltrow is a good friend of Ryan Murphy and her songs sold very well on itunes. Also I read that the once it became clear that Charice could not act at all and Blaine took off the VA part of the storyline was greatly reduced.

There can be all the reasons in the world, but it's inexcusable for him not to have ONE song. Such a waste of talent!

Overall I still feel like he and Kurt are more friends than boyfriends
Do you think that is somewhat related to the show kind of backing away from physical intimacy?
Because sigh, it's not something I really want to complain about (yet), but I am vaguely reminded of ATWT a little with it.

I just remember thinking back in the fall "I'm sure they'll have a great first kiss and then we'll see what happens".
And they did, actually better than I expected because it was long for a screen kiss and they even kissed twice in that scene. But now it feels weird that the only time they EVER kissed is when they first got together, you know? It's like they only got "permission" for that one episode or something.
And it just seems more glaring when you consider that Brittany/Santana have never kissed either.

So, are Brittany and Artie back together? I couldn't tell.
No, they're just friends. At least until next season, lol.

I've been pondering that myself, why I'm not really shipping Blaine and Kurt. Because on paper, they are SO up my alley. I think part of it is that Chris/Kurt seems so asexual to me. I honestly feel way more sparks between Kurt and Karofsky. With Blaine and Kurt, they're super sweet and I enjoy them, but I don't feel much heat between them. With Luke and Reid, even when they were lint-brushing, I still felt the attraction, you know? And I absolutely adore Darren and want him on the show, and unless he transfers to McKinley, Kurt had better keep dating him!

Blaine and Kurt's first kiss was awesome. But yeah, since then, nada. I seem to remember Brittany/Santana kissing in their cheerleader outfits on Brit's bed, but this was long before Santana even hinted at coming out. I was really hoping for a kiss from them in the finale, but I suppose Brittany doesn't feel that way for Santana. Kind of? I don't even know.

Oh, this show. It's fun, but I have to keep my expectations so low. :/

lol I used to feel like that. Although I feel like fic cured that in a way. I remember back in November the first time I read Kurt/Blaine fic I was kind of like "BUT HE IS TOO ADORABLE. THIS FEELS WRONG SOMEHOW. WHY AM I EVEN READING THIS? I'M SORRY FOR SEXUALIZING YOU CHRIS COLFER. SOB."

HAHA seriously it was a weird experience for a ship I was pretty interested in. However that died really quickly once I read more. But probably because "let's talk about our ~feelings~ and make out" and "let's awkwardly lose our virginities together" are types of fics that are kind of tailor made for that transition. And they're both meant to be innocent in that respect.

Plus, I feel like Chris Colfer has aged 10 years in the last one year (in a good way). I mean, I saw THIS on tumblr the other day. Crazy.

But idk, shipping is certainly a subjective thing when it comes down to it, so maybe it's just not a ship for you. *shrug*
lol but for me it's like...seriously just as bad as Luke/Reid. lol it's just really REALLY bad. I kind ( ... )

Wow, Chris really has grown! For me, part of it was Kurt, too. Like when the sex episode happened and he didn't even want to learn more. He has an innocence to him ( ... )

Right? It's Cheyenne freaking Jackson! Let the man perform! Such a waste.

I have a soft spot for Rachel, too. :)

I cannot handle Finn and Rachel. Why does the show mainly focus on them and personally I don't really see what they even have in common?!

The finale actually left me feeling mad. I agree about the socks and shoes..it actually made the girls look stumpy and the fact that yet again they did not place but who cares because they are all happy just felt redundent!

Besides Kurt and now Blaine, I love the guest stars more! Cheyenne not singing is one of the crappiest things ever..also when is that dude coming back to 30 Rock?!

I know, they're so boring and meh. The shows seems to think they're some supercouple, but they're sadly mistaken.

I didn't mind that they didn't make the cut at nationals -- they need a goal to strive for next season.

I wish Cheyenne was on 30 Rock more. He seriously needs a starring vehicle, because he's awesome.
