If it had been a more natural flash between Bohemian Rhapsody and Quinn, maybe. But yeah, it was really distracting.

And I totally agree that Jesse St. James on his own was annoying and not a group effort. I kept thinking it over and over again.

As for the adoption, if it’s a private adoption, with a lot of money, it can happen quickly – but yeah, that was a little much. It’s just like when people give birth on TV. It’s pretty unrealistic.

Overall, though, I really enjoy this show and what it’s trying (and not always succeeding) to do.

i DID sort of tear up, which surprised me since i’ve been off the glee wagon for awhile. but i found it moving…any time people have to give up something that really matters to them, i get emotional. TOTALLY agree about the manipulation during quinn giving birth and the queen song…i got annoyed with it, actually. alright, we get it, you’re matching up lyrics with a woman pushing out a baby. YES jane lynch deserves every award and accolade she ever gets. she’s my hero.

on the adoption thing…i found that odd, too. even for domestic adoptions, there’s still a big process. i don’t know all the rules, but it does seem odd for ms. corcoran to just walk out of there with a newborn. gratuitous.

however, you ROCK, PCN!!!!

Glad you like the title!

I’m frustrated they don’t let Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) sing more because she’s amazing. I don’t have a problem with everyone coming together to sing despite their differences, though. I’m sure sometimes football players have disagreements in the locker room but they still have to work as a team once they’re on the field to win the game.

PONCHO! I’ve missed your comments. Despite the predictability, I did feel really bad for the kids when they lost. Who can’t relate to failure and rejection? And yes, Jane Lynch had better have that Emmy in her hands this fall.

By the way, give Jane Lynch an Emmy already!

Love the title of this piece! FaithfulGLEE was brilliant because of all the Journey tunes last night. I’ll be chuckling around the office today.

The show is short changing themselves by not giving other cast members solos. And Lea Michelle’s character is kinda one note (no pun intended) lately. I also have a big issue with everyone forgetting their differences at the end of each episode so they can harmonize on the final number. Then, the very next episode, meanness is back in full form.

I also knew they weren’t going to win last night. I knew it would be predictable, but it undercut the fun for me when they didn’t. I know, I know, you can’t have everything. I guess that’s the problem the writers have every week, blending drama, comedy and song in a compelling way.

My hat is off to them for trying though.

I liked the finale very much, ‘though I know it wasn’t perfect. And the Journey mash-up was really good.

I love they’re giving lines to “Other Asian” and “Shaft”, and I love how Santana and Brittany are becoming great characters as well.

I kind’a got Sue’s tears… specially after ONJ put her in her place. And ever since the judges’ room I guessed Sue would save the day.

On the other hand, I do know there was (almost) nowhere to go if they won Regionals, but I did feel struck when they lost. On the other hand, seldom do I cry on TV (I said seldom, not never!) and somehow the speech before “To Sir, With Love” made me so emotional I sobbed the whole song.
