As always, this post is for liveblogging, reacting. Go nuts. Just keep in mind that character or actor bashing is not allowed as per community rules. Have fun!

Santana/Brittany: yay. "I'll be a bridesmaid at Mike & Tina's wedding." :D Santana's angry (justified) Spanish tirade: lol awesome. Jesse loving Rachel and not loving Finn: perfect. Rachel/Kurt anything & everything: THE BEST THING EVER. I want them to have a spin-off so badly! Samcedes!! Love. But why is she hiding it from Kurt? Kurt didn't appear to mean it when he said he loved Blaine back. Hoorah!!!

This pissed me off-- wtf was Quinn's plan/scheme in NY? Telling on Rachel when she couldn't have known there would be anything to tell on?? LAME ANTICLIMAX! The cheese in this ep was hilarious, so I'm okay with it. I got some good laughs from The Badness. And did I scream into a pillow about how gross my brain feels with Finchel in it? That's between me and my sister...who didn't bother with a pillow. I wish I did like that ship, because the writers clearly have tunnel vision and refuse to let anything organic build. Why follow natural chemistry when you can force things? Blah.

Totally agree with you on the second part!! My brother and I kept pointing out all the different books we've read during the library scene.

Why follow natural chemistry when you can force things? Blah.

So that's why we don't get enough Kinn/Furt scenes!

Thank you so much, you've expressed my thoughts on Finn/Rachel exactly. Romantic scenes between these two never feel right! No chemistry at all. I definitely like them better as friends.

I'm not sure what I thought about this episode other than that I was seriously hoping that Finchel wouldn't happen again. (Sigh) But I am glad that I am not the only one that felt the "I love you too" seemed forced when Kurt said it. The SaMer(Sam+Mercedes) I totatlly didn't see that one coming, and I loved Santana's Spanish tirade, and I about died from laughter with Santana's Rachel voodoo doll. Overall I guess the finale was okay, and I loved the tiny bit of chemistry between Cory and Chris. I did find it sad that I had to explain to my parents the importance of Wicked, they totally forgot the whole Defying Gravity incident. (Sigh)

I really enjoyed the episode, and BELLA NOTTE OMG YES YES YES PLS I just wish it hadn't been for Finchel xD; But the rest of the ep made me feel really good. Though honestly I don't know if it was...like the episode itself? Or a sense of living vicariously through the characters *wants to experience fun with friends in NYC!*

Idk if that made sense ^^;

I didn't mind the episode. I'm obviously in the minority.

However, with my shipper goggles firmly on I noticed a couple of things (which I also had to squee about on tumblr...):

1. How enthusiastically and quickly he suggested Rachel bring Finn with her to New York. He wants to keep him close, obviously.

2. Bringing her to the theater to realize her dreams and her speech about her love and her dream being the same thing meant, obviously, that Finn was free for him (at least, in my mind xP)

Um, just gonna put these here, too:

[aoitsukikage]

I want to pick Kurt up in the first gif and put him on Finn's lap.

[coco_newt]

LOL Yes. Someone needs to manip that.

[snoopypez]

Your shipper goggles = my shipper goggles. :D That is absolutely the conclusion I came to.

I thought the episode was alright, over all. I could have done with less Finn/Rachel sappiness, but I'm mostly used to that drama by now.

It bothered me a little that both Rachel and Kurt seem to feel Finn will never make it out of Lima. Is that weird? Was anyone else hoping Kurt might stand up for him a little?

Also, I'd been wondering about Mercedes and Sam. I'm kind of glad to see them together. They both deserve a partner who will treat them well. They're both so nice all the time. I hope they last next season, or at least don't crash and burn like every other Glee pairing.

Lastly, Kurt and Blaine. I don't like the pairing and I don't think there's any chemistry there, but I liked that the first I love yous happened in such ordinary circumstances. Frankly, I've gotten my fill of dramatic love confessions with Finn/Rachel.
