You must recognize that Chris Colfer has some humour. The use of the blind gossip as part of the episode was genius.
Lately there are tons of blind gossips about Glee, and using one of them as a plot is a healthy way to not take yourself too seriously.
It seems the author of the blind gossips catch the message, unfortunately some of his readers think it was an admission about the truth behind all the blind gossips about the show (wich is almost impossible because some of the blind gossips are contradictory with others)

Just because there are those who might agree with you doesn't make you right nor does it make wrong those who disagree with you.

Just because there are those who might agree with you doesn't make you right nor does it make wrong those who disagree with you. I fail to see what I might have written that would call for this. As I have always said, to each their own and everyone should be free to state their opinion, popular or not. The poster I was responding to stated that there were a lot of like minded people on another media and I responded that I was glad about it, especially in regards to implied messages I discern. I have my opinion and I happen to think what I see validates it, and I don't expect everyone to see it the same way, as even evidenced by posts right here. So really, no need for a lesson on my end. Mileages will always vary. |

Well, I didn't expect much out of the season premiere, and (on balance) I wasn't disappointed.  So I guess that's something. But characterization has always been horribly done, in service of some arbitrary (and poorly constructed) plot point. This premiere was no exception. They managed to get everyone back to Lima, but a lot of it didn't make sense. Like Rachel giving up a promising Broadway career (didn't she dream of that forever?) to go to Hollywood then failing spectacularly. Of course, the show has always been overly enamored with Rachel. I fear that will continue to be the case going forward. I liked them featuring Kurt & Blaine, but they gave no screen time or thought to what happened to Sam, or Tina, or Artie, or Brittany, or Santana, or Quinn, or Mercedes, or anyone else. I really wished the show had treated the entire ensemble cast more equally over the last 5 seasons. Oh, well; it's water under the bridge at this point. I admit I was pleasantly surprised that they actually tried to show some of what caused Kurt and Blaine to break up. Too bad they didn't show what happened prior to the meeting at that restaurant that led up to it. Or show us Blaine starting to date Dave. I did notice they weren't particularly affectionate with each other. Dave is definitely the rebound guy at this point, so regardless of what happens next it probably won't last. I'm still not thrilled with the idea of Blaine dating Dave at all; he knows Dave once put someone (Kurt) through hell. Granted he's gone through hell himself since then, but it still seems like there's too much history there. At any rate it does feel like they're setting up yet another reunion story for Kurt & Blaine, and I'm kind of hoping that this time Kurt fights to get Blaine back. I don't remember all of their history, but it always seemed like Blaine was chasing after Kurt so this would be a good change-up. I'm hoping his breakdown after learning about Blaine & Dave was a sign. I guess we'll find out. Oh, and the Sue Sylvester character stopped being reasonable (even for this show) long ago. I realize they wanted an OTT villain, but this is too much. She needs to go ... now. |

That said, I found the releasing of the hounds to be one of the funniest Sue moments in the entirety of her character's history.  Not much to say about Kurt, Blaine or Dave at this point. |

So Kurt and Blaine are pining after each other. How unsurprising . I did like their duet. Dave is definitely the rebound guy for Blaine, and I'm not thrilled with the idea that Blaine is already planning to move in with him. He and Kurt didn't break up that long ago, after all. I have no idea how close they are, and I don't have any particular vested interest in Dave's fate, but hopefully he won't get hurt too much. Kurt was out of line objecting to Santana & Brittany's engagement like that. While I somewhat agree with the sentiment (that they're too young), he's letting his feelings over how his relationship with Blaine ended to overly jade him right now. Not terribly surprising in that circumstance, but that doesn't make it any more appropriate. He should have kept his mouth shut. That said, Santana was way out of line. One or two points would have been fine (Kurt did deserve something for his comment), but the show had Santana's tirade go on way too long. Sadly it was a very Glee thing to do. I've never really liked Santana, and this doesn't help. Kurt's conversation with Brittany, however, was much nicer. What lesson will he take away from it, though? Will he try to get Blaine back? Or will he resign himself and try to move on? My guess is the former, but I'm not counting on it. Interesting direction for Coach Beiste. I've read some discussion in other places about it. I understand their objections. Sadly I don't expect Glee to do the story justice, but they could prove me wrong. |

I just don't know with this show. I'm not sure how much they're trying anymore. For me, there is some level of Sue's OTT antics that are okay. The start of the episode was okay, but then she went off on her intolerably long diatribe at Will and it went downhill from there. Too bad that last Friday's and next Friday's episode are all about her scheming. WTF, now Sue ships Klaine and is trying to reunite them ... okay, then. I do think it's just a matter of time before they reunite, but Sue isn't helping. At any rate, apparently Karofsky has gotten around a lot since he came out . So ... Walter. Huh. |

Well, they finally did it. Kurt and Blaine got married. I must admit I liked the vows, and I loved that Burt officiated. I would have liked to see the scene where Kurt and Blaine actually decided to go for it. Like The Backlot article's author, I also would have liked to see some of the other side plots left out in favor of more time for the two couples. Oh, well. It's Glee, so my expectations are suitably adjusted.
It was ... refreshing, in a way, that neither Dave K nor Walter made a big stink out of Blaine and Kurt leaving them. Even encouraging them to go for it.
There are just a handful of episodes left. This episode felt like it was "just" trying to wrap up loose ends. I wonder what the next loose ends will be. I'd like to see a bit more development of married life, but I guess we'll see.

Meh. I thought the last episode was kinda pointless. Of course they would win Sectionals again. I really hate that the show continually goes back to Rachel and the Sue thing. The whole episode just reinforced to me that the showrunners never really figured out what they wanted to do with the show.
Oh, well, one episode left.

Well, such is the end of Glee. At least Kurt and Blaine are still together 5 years hence, and many of the group are still friends. I did not expect that Rachel would be a surrogate for their child, but it makes some sense. It was interesting for the show to revisit the past the way they did, before turning to the future. Certainly has a different perspective. Though to be honest it felt like it went on a little too long. They have been trying to wrap up stories for the last few weeks, but I must admit they didn't feature as many stories for some of the other old guard characters as I might have liked. In fact, most of them only showed up for cameos during the last musical number. So I guess they just weren't important enough  . For all of the problems Glee has had telling consistent stories and characters over the years, I suppose part of me will miss seeing them. But nothing lasts forever  . |

I did quite enjoy the One republic cover at the end -- seeing all of the former members show up for it. Glee always seemed to do the big production numbers with the whole club right - though it did kind of look like the world's worst target commercial with all the red and white clothes. I liked the look back at Burt and Kurt's dynamic in the beginning, but would have liked a last scene between them in the finale - or had Carol have a line or two about Finn.
Edited -- I had attributed the song to the wrong band -- It was One Republic, not Imagine Dragon.
