The first two episodes of this season were so promising and it's crazy how it's completely fallen apart. I get that Will/Sue has been the main conflict since season one but it's completely over the top now. New Directions winning sectionals on the basis of Sue manipulating Vocal Adrenaline to be offensive leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Worse than usual.

At least it's over next week. Can't wait to see the stupid character developments when it doesn't matter anymore.

The female incest cheerleader is probably the worst performer that has ever been featured on the show. Her face during her solos in Chandelier was distractingly bad. Male incest cheerleader and the skinny black girl were decent additions to the cast.

Come Sail Away should have been a Lea Michele solo or the big group number for nationals back when they won with that Meatloaf song.

Once I was a real Turtle.
I was puzzled by the panic mode that everyone went into with the foot injury. Do they not remember that there used to be a wheelchair dude on the team?

I also figured there would be more clashing between new black girl and the Warblers since they were discriminating douches when she tried to join.

Watched just for the St. Berry. Thanks for the tip! Samchel was god awful and I'm glad that they seem to be pumping the brakes on that.

One more episode. Dumpster fire or dreams delivered. It's going to be glorious either way.

Cory Monteith dying killed this show. We were getting glimpses of greatness with him as New Will after some terribleness, and then when he died, the show (completely understandably) lost its heart and lost its way. :smith:

What the gently caress was up with that Myron bit? :psyboom: Also I'll always have a spot in my heart for this show but it absolutely breaks my heart how it's ending. I did adore that last scene though. Sue owned, and it was absurd, literally and figuratively, but it was perfectly written Sue.

The end of Glee is leaving me so confused. I'm sad to see it go just because Season 1 in particular was possibly my favorite season of television I can remember. It genuinely meant a lot to my life, as absurd as that sounds. It was beautiful and wonderful and amazing. And for several years it's been circling the drain, a caricature of its former self at times, though there were still some great bits. It's time for Glee to go, but like a bad relationship, I stupidly don't want to give up on it. I want to see it get redemption that will never come.

gently caress you, Ryan Murphy, for being so amazing and SO loving terrible.

I probably don't. People in this thread keep talking about how this show was "good" once. Also what is up with the gushing about Lea Michelle?

All I remember is a bunch of mildy-to-majorly offensive sequences carouselling through the last five seasons in-between some musical numbers I mostly fast-forwarded through.

Because it's a trainwreck of television that I can't look away from. Ryan Murphy's a terrible writer and I find it amusing that people look to this as "good family television." Kind of like the Big Bang Theory, but only slightly more watchable.

That still doesn't explain the borderline creepy Lea Michelle worship. After ever episode this thread was flooded with "X should have been a Lea Michelle solo" and I honestly can't tell if you guys are being ironic about it or not.

But yeah, the best episodes of Glee are the ones where the writers obviously smoked a joint or twelve before getting to work.

Yeah no, some are big fans (not me) others are just being funny because she's so clearly the "main character that everything works out for" and mocking that is fun.

I never got the Lea Michele worship either, I always thought Mercedes was at least as talented, and Santa a better all-around package (maybe not as technically proficient, but as enjoyable a performer and certainly easier on the eyes.)

Pretty sure that's just me at this point. I don't see the point in giving huge songs to newbies that no one cares about when they already have a star with an amazing, versatile voice and musicality, especially in the final season. Plus, her songs actually sell. It would have been nice to have solo covers of her singing Time After Time, Come Sail Away, or even Break Free.

Edit:

Mercedes has a nice voice, but there is a reason she is queen of the park and bark - her voice isn't versatile and she takes every song to church.

Santana kicks rear end and she's my favorite character, but that isn't saying much. She wasn't going to get any songs this year after the hullabaloo at the end of last season.

Tonight's the night, homies and homos.

On this baleful eve we weed out the weak from the strong, the chaff from the oak, the men/women/transmen/transwomen/Santanas from the boys/girls/Quinns.

I wanna thank Grilled Christ for dragging me kicking and screaming through the past six years and for giving me the strength to withstand the Kate Hudson episodes and also that one about vapo-rape. Also, the twerking. I am truly a changed man thanks to Glee, and me and my newfound arrhythmia will be always be grateful for it.

Godspeed, all you nubile singers/dancers/folks-who-kinda-tried.

Yeah the truth is literally the only one who does this. I mean, I like her songs too, but he's the one who's been...uh, fappy...about it forever.

Everything still revolves around her character. The last few episodes made huge deals about her Life Decision Woes, and multiple episodes of the season were all about characters literally upending their lives and flying across the country to handhold her through her issues.

Which is fine, I mean, it gave the season...somewhat...of an arc. I'd rather seven more hours about poor Rachel's pre-mid-life-crises than another instant spent on Sue or Will*.

I was just going to respond with exactly this. "The Truth" is our resident Lea Michelle fan / apologist, which is adorable.


I'm in the Darren Criss camp and he's the one reason why I watch this show. The episode without Klaine this season was torture. I just hope we at least get some closure tonight... no matter how hosed up and random it is. Can't be worse than the How I Met Your Mother finale... but our luck it'll be so.
