The Kurt/Blaine duet is Somebody Loves You by Betty Who! It's actually a really great song but I agree, it wasn't their best. LOVED the breakup with Karofsky although I was kind of distracted by their great apartment. I really wish we'd seen more of that relationship, now that it's over.

I also wish the trans storyline had been given more time - I understand that their time is limited but man, I wish we could've seen more of Shannon's journey to becoming Sheldon. Overall I think Dot Marie Jones has done a great job with it so far. I was surprised at the vandalism of the car on network tv but that surprise was soooo overshadowed by Sue's nickname of "Newly Boobless".

I didn't notice the chorus at the end but I'll have to go back and watch - this episode was surprisingly strong and I really enjoyed it!

Everything this season is suuuuper rushed-feeling. If they had all this plot in them, why didn't they use some of it in the last two seasons?

OH MY GOD I KNOW. I get that this season is shorter but like...last season had actual weeks long breaks where they could have absolutely done a fast-forward to get a jump-start on season 6 and it would've made SENSE. We really didn't need to have ANOTHER storyline where all the drama centered around Sectionals/Regionals/Nationals, and yet that's exactly what happened, once again.

I think Cory's death really threw them for a loop in terms of plot and once they got their bearings again, it was just too late to recover. I LIKE this season overall but man, it's hard to ignore how fast they're pushing things along. I'm not sure if you've seen this week's episode yet - while I really really loved it as a standalone, it would've packed WAY more of an emotional punch if the entire build-up had been over a longer period of time rather than the last two or three eps. Way way way too rushed.

I think you're probably right about Cory's death throwing all their planning out the window. Ryan Murphy has said that he pretty much knew how the show was going to end, and that the death changed that endgame. I think they also made a big miscalculation in trying to keep the Lima plot going by introducing the New New Directions while having everyone else graduate and mostly all go to NYC. It might've made more sense if the Old New Directions had been spread out over the full four years of high school, so that they could be graduated and recycled a few at a time instead of all at once. Or I would've rather had them all move on to the Lima Community College glee club instead of going off to NYC and turning everything into this weird fragmented mess. Or they could've just embraced their hyperreality and keep the kids nebulously in high school forever without trying to tie them in to some specific academic calendar year. I mean, it's not like the kids ever went to any other classes anyway.

Just wait until this week's episode... prepare for the tears. And Sue? I think I've come to the conclusion that Sue is actually the embodiment of the entirety of life. She a little bit of everything - the good, the bad, every agenda, kindness, cruelty, etc. all rolled into one, and despite the fact that you never know what you're going to get every time you run into her, it's somehow vaguely, oddly, nonsensically consistent. :P

I just watched it. I... have some problems with Kurt and Blaine getting married so off-the-cuff. But whatever! I thought the vows were nice. I had emotions. The whole episode was total fanservice, but I'm on board with that.
