SamuraiFoochs posted:Am I the only one feeling a sense of relief as this all goes on? Like, I'm pretty sure the writers also did this so that fans could, for lack of a better term, let go of Finn, and for me it's working. Is that weird? Yeah, as I said, I used to be a HUGE Glee fan back in the day- it was all I watched during my first two years in college along with a few friends. Then I lost interest, but felt like I should tune in for this and am so glad I did. It really is like revisiting a group of old friends after another old mutual friend died. It's an experience, to be sure: a sad one, but an experience nonetheless. e: wait, why did Kurt give that jacket to Santana and not Puck? Puck and Finn were like best friends. That's a bit disrespectful? Captain Mog fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Oct 11, 2013 |

If you do watch what you missed (which I'd encourage, especially since someone I grew up with guest starred which is cool I guess ) be prepared to be really angry that Cory died, because his role at the end was perfect and it sucks SO bad that he's gone.

I didn't see it as a "now it's yours forever" moment.

Puck breaking down with Beiste was a really nice choice, after the wonderful scene they shared awhile back that turned both their lives around.

Yeah, that drat near tore my soul in half, but was perfect in every way, and might be my favorite written/acted/set up scene in the show's history.

SamuraiFoochs posted:I want to hug every last one of them right now, Jesus Christ. This is why I feel like I won't really be open to any "this is why the episode sucked/they should have done ____ instead." Because this is way too real. It's literally their grief, it's not acting, it's almost too much to watch in a way.

Yeah, it gave a number and said "text this number to help others like Cory/give them a chance" or something like that. e: also, this is really good. Like, vintage Glee good. Like Buffy, it sorta lost something after it left high school and this episode is filled with those somethings it lost. Captain Mog fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Oct 11, 2013 |

Nice to see "Lima Rachel". The Rachel that Finn loved. Not the "New York Rachel"

Tears all up on my goddamn face at Rachel's song. Tears at Santana being flawless throughout this entire episode. Tears from the Hummel-Hudson family breaking down as a unit. All my tears. Everywhere.

I'm glad they gave the newer characters almost no lines. That seemed appropriate, somehow.

Seriously I didn't lose it until Mr. Shue. Now I'm questioning how the gently caress I can be so sad for Cory (who I never met) and Finn (who never existed) at the same time. At least I'm not the only one, I guess?

I've never had a celebrity death hit me like this. Hell, I've never had ANY death, family included, hit me like this. It doesn't make any sense, but it still hit me super hard.

Oddly enough, I found the episode more cathartic than sad. Probly because everyone's just been sitting on these emotions for months now. I think Lea's number was the best, for obvious reasons. I actually really liked the Beiste/Puck scenes, and am kinda sad that we probably won't see more of them. Surprisingly they got some laughs in there. i.e., "grief siesta"

that one girl posted:I've never had a celebrity death hit me like this. Hell, I've never had ANY death, family included, hit me like this. It doesn't make any sense, but it still hit me super hard. Well in fairness to you, if you're anything like me, you feel like Cory and Finn were very similar. In that vein, they were both seemingly such genuine and kind people. That, combined with the fact that Glee meant/means a lot to so many people, and he died so young and in such tragic circumstances...well, it's understandable.

Yeah, there's nothing you really can say about that episode except to credit everyone for managing to work on it under those conditions. It was very powerful with a ton of perfectly pitched scenes.

That was sad. I'd say more but I usually express depression in lame jokes, and I'd punch myself for half the things I thought in the episode.

I haven't read the rest of the thread because I just started the episode. I'll be honest, I was kinda rolling my eyes at some of you saying you didn't know if you could watch and how you'd cry. I'm kind of a bitch and don't get emotional at stuff often. But gently caress...I just watched the first song and I don't know if I can do it. You can just so clearly see the pain on their faces. gently caress this is so meta and just...gah. Can someone send me a box of tissues and a pint of ice cream stat, please?
