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? :shobon:

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?

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 :3:) 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. :smith:

I thought it was more of a temporary gesture - like a way of giving her a piece of Finn at that moment to hold/hug? 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.

I'm still unclear, especially since he said that he needed it back. I wonder if "it's Santana's now" meant "today, for now." Seems odd.

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.

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"

Honestly, I wasn't sad until this episode. Watching it while knowing I was watching genuine grief, not acting, made me feel awful.

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. :sympathy:

Oh me too, I definitely got catharsis out of it and I feel like I can move on as a Glee fan, but that ending absolutely shattered me.

You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? Just put your lips together and blow...

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?
