Glee - Finale

* * SPOILERS ALERT * *

As usual - the spoiler alert is primarily for the UK viewers, not the US viewers.

So, we have reached the end of another season of Glee.  Was it worth the blood, sweat, tears (all from Sue Sylvester, of course) or did it go down like a lead balloon?

Personally, I think it was the latter.

What a disappointment.  The Glee Finale?  Surely, if it is a finale, the show should be going out with a bang, teasing us, leaving us wanting more.

I did not get that.

All I got was frustration.  Frustration that the club we have grown to know and love, and feel a part of, were expected to win Nationals with a song (two songs, actually) that they penned, learnt, and choreographed the evening before.  As if that is even believable.  Why should they win for such laziness?

The episode focused more on the fact that they were in New York.  As much as I did indeed love the "For Good" duet between Rachel and Kurt (taken from the amazing show, Wicked), I felt that that was the only good part of the episode.  I skipped past the part where Mr Schue sang on the CROSSRHODES stage - boring!

If I take all of my favourite moments from the season and put them together, I reckon we could produce a grand total of...one episode...give or take a few minutes.

The truth is, the writers lost their way somewhere halfway through the season with all the relationships flying around the Glee Club.  So much so that it came round full circle back to Rachel and Finn being reunited, Quinn being wildly(!) jealous, and Jesse lurking in the background.

Speaking of Quinn's wild jealousy...  In the previous episode (Funeral), Finn broke up with Quinn, as we all know, and she unleashed a threat that had the viewers wondering if she was going to sabotage the Glee Club's chances of winning.  The possibilities were endless: would she rejoin the Cheerios?  Would she go AWOL before the show?  Would she kill Rachel?  It was disappointing to see that all she did was cut off her hair instead.  Is that really revenge?  (Her bob does look lovely though)

It is safe to say that there were far too many loose ends that needed tying up.  Fair enough, they have a third season coming out, but some sort of closure as to where we stand with it all would have been nice.  I am speaking of Karovsky's homosexuality, Santana's homosexuality, Brittany's relationship with Artie, and Emma's relationship with Butt Chin (sorry, I mean Will).

These actually could have been concluded in the show but the mediocrity of it all possibly meant that I wasn't paying attention...

All in all, a very disappointing Finale, Glee.  I expected much better from you.  Hopefully, the writers will pay more attention to detail in the third season and it will all actually start to make sense again.

Bring back the fun, the excitement, the Glee!

Oh, and of course Mercedes and Trouty Mouth (Sam) are together.  There is no one else left in the Glee club to get together apart from these two.  Boring, predictable, and lame...

And I think that sums up what I thought about the second season.
