Glee- Wow, nice end to the season. I'm surprised how quickly we went into Regionals. So there were celebrity judges, all folks we've seen before- in addition to Sue, there was the douchey anchorman Sue dated, but also Josh Groban and Olivia Newton John (once again playing dick versions of themselves). So besides ND and VA, there was a third group, "Aural Intensity", whose performance we only hear, and they did a Josh Groban/ONJ medley. New Directions did their Journey medley. And we see VA do "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Anyways, ND went second, and after their performance, Quinn's mother reconciles with her, having kicked out her a-hole father. This is of course when Quinn's water breaks. So, we get Vocal Adrenaline's performance intercut with Quinn giving birth. The Mercedes-Quinn friendship still feels weird and out of left field. And while Jesse was a good addition the latter half of the season, I'm not sure if they should've given VA such a strong lead. I mean, all the way back in the pilot, it seemed VA's had flash and amazing dance numbers, and the only way New Directions was gonna beat them was on superior singing skill. But with Jesse, the Glee club really shouldn't stand a chance.
Well, I guess they didn't, but it seemed more because ONJ was a huge bitch, and Josh and Rod fell in line. They end up insulting Sue and making her feel sorry for the Glee Club, so alas, she's the only one who ends up voting ND 1st. So, not only did the club not win, they didn't place either, which means they're canceled. But of course, since Sue was out to destroy them, they think she's responsible.
But, in the end, she gets Figgins to give the club another year, though she plays it off to Will as just wanting them around to kick around for a little longer.
Other happenings? Ah, I figured when Shelby was all, she didn't want a teenager, she wanted a baby, that she would end up adopting Drizzle. I mean, Beth. And I guess Finn and Rachel are together. Even though I think he's a douche and a fair-weather bf, they are the core couple. I do wish if they were gonna hook them up, they'd spend a little more time on it so it didn't seem out of nowhere. I mean, I get why she kissed him, because when the chips were down, he didn't give up hope and was gonna try his best to save the club. It would be more believable if there was a little more to it, prior to the intense looks they were giving each other before the ND performance.
Oh, and Emma's apparently been dating her dentist, and she thinks she and Will missed their moment. Still, it doesn't stop her from trying to convince Figgins to not cancel Glee, and Will takes that to mean she still wants to fight for him, not just for the kids. (Although how inappropriate was it for him to ask if she and the Dentist have done it?!)
All in all, this ep was full of "make you cry" moments, from the club reminiscing about the times they've had, to the poignant and heart felt songs.
Justified- Just watching this while typing up this entry. Wait, I know Tom Friendly is a big guy, but is he that big, or are that Miami drug lord guy's niece and nephew tiny? I mean, they looked pretty small at the golf course last ep. Anyways, I'm shocked at what he did to his son's congregation. Boyd ended up burying the bodies, but it seems like it was a bit much- executing nearly a dozen men and hanging them from trees? Had Boyd not given them a proper burial, wouldn't that have been a big friggin' deal and have the Feds looking harder at Mr. Friendly's operations? I mean, its one thing to kill a man or two in various incidents? But slaughtering a bunch of guys and displaying their corpses? I think that would still be shocking crime, even in a world where people are using rocket launchers willy-nilly.
But heh, looks that just pushed Boyd into teaming up with Raylan against Bo. Heh, there's definitely been a lot of gun violence this ep. And talk about the quick and the dead- no extended gunfights, just a quick draw and bodies dropping. Of course, as soon as I type that, that's when who I assume are the midget hispanics snipe Bo and start sniping at Raylan and Boyd, pinning them in the cabin.
