how did you like glee's the quarterback?
Love love looooved it.
I love how it focused on not why/how Finn died, but on the importance of remembering him for who he was, how he lived, and what he meant to us (thank you Kurt for that). I loved how it showed all different kinds of reactions to death and different approaches to grieving. I give huge props to Naya and Mark for their acting out scenes, which I think were pretty in character. Though I sobbed like a baby, I loved the Hudson-Hummel moment (lots of props to the actors too) and I loved everything that happened between Puck and Coach Beiste (again props — god props to everyone they are all amazing). I loved all the mentions of memories they had (Amber bringing up the sonogram, Santana mentioning when they had sex, Burt and the lamp, etcetcetc), and I loved Beiste and Puck talking about Finn kicking chairs. I loved the way they brought Rachel into the episode, holding Kurt’s hand. Everything with Rachel - though heartbreaking - was beautiful. And of course, I loved that they used the Glee logo a fan made.
I was absolutely in love with the song list — I’ve wanted Seasons of Love to be covered for YEAAARS and I thought it was perfect (though yes I wish it wasn’t in this context and that Cory was in it). Did you notice how it went from Newbies to Chord/Darren (S2) to S1 cast???? GOD I loved that and when they looked up I had so many chills. SOL holds a lot of special meaning to me and god it was perfect. Santana singing If I Die Young = GODDDD, Mercedes singing I’ll Stand By You = chills man, Puck singing no surrender = soooooo perfect for Pinn, and Fire and Rain with Sam and Artie was beautiful too. I won’t even get started on Make You Feel My Love and how amazing that was too.
I really did love it and I thought it was so well-written. They did this under a lot of pressure (time-wise and in terms of having lots of expectations from people) too, and I think they handled it really well. There’s no easy way to do it but I think they did it right.
I bawled soooooo much, but it was definitely much-needed. I am so proud of the Glee cast for putting that together and I’m soooo grateful they did that for us.
