The Quarterback, Short and Sweet.
The past year or so has made me notice that my best days are the days I wake up with something to look forward to. I know that sounds extremely, horribly so very sad, but tonight's episode of Glee was the reason this week.
Every TV show, every movie I've ever cried during, doesn't hold a candle to tonight's Glee
tribute to Finn/Cory. For this moment it was art imitating life.
Here are my thoughts quick thoughts, for now, since I haven't processed that Cory is gone, and now Finn is as well:
I will keep it real to you guys, I didn't start to tear until a quarter through Seasons of Love. It wasn't until I'll Stand By You with the help from Darren Criss, who's real life pain about his loss of Cory could be read on his face and in his watery eyes, that I started to bawl my eyes out and not stop until the commercial break. Then it was basically a rinse and repeat until the credits.
I can't tell you if this is the best episode of a TV show I've ever seen because this is very unprecedented for me...to mourn not only a character I loved over the past four years, but the actor who played him..but it's definitely an episode I will never ever forget.
Highlights.
Carole. Finn's mom talking about how she's still a parent even though she doesn't have a child anymore and every morning she wakes up and "for just a second you forget"
Puck. He has lost his right hand, and in turn, his way. Him stealing the $20 dollar tree and then crying on Beiste's shoulder...precious.
Santana. I loved her grief...it was sincere and awesome. Santana is the one character who gets better and more awesome season by season.
Rachel. At first when I had heard she was going to only show up in the last act, I was bummed, but I think it worked out amazingly. Everything we as an audience needed to see her feel we felt in her song.
Negative: the absence of Dianna Agron. I hope whatever the reason was, they get it together, and she comes back in an episode later this season
Funny highlights of the episode:
The flannel shirts worn by Kurt and Finn's parents
Ms. Pillsbury/Mrs. Schuster's pamphlets to Tina because she's "tired of wearing black":
It's Not All About You
When to Stop Talking
Wait, Am I Callous?
FOOTNOTE:
Me and Chrysalis are the same age.
It's the least I could do ... and you can do it too...
I never ask people to do things like this...
but hey if you want, text 'chance' to 50555...I did.
It feels good, and Cory would've probably loved it...
