80/365

This was it -- the Glee finale. 

The first part of the finale started off with Kurt, who was my absolute favorite in the beginning. It shows a lot of how Kurt felt before coming out. He debated suicide and didn't have any friends. It tugged on my heart strings. I loved when he and Rachel sang Popular from Wicked. I definitely fell back in love with Kurt during this. Then the focus moved onto Mercedes. It's hilarious how they had to make them younger looking while they've finally gotten better looking. Rachel goes with Mercedes to church, which was adorable. Mercedes proved yet again that her voice is absolutely gorgeous. I've never heard a line that was so beautiful until Tina said, "My name is Tina Cohen-Chang and you don't care." You're right, Tina. I don't. I forgot that she faked her stutter -- how odd. I love Artie. He's so hilarious. It turns out that Mercedes does Glee club mainly for herself, but also to push Rachel down. Artie and Tina did it on a dare. Wowza.

Artie's audition song being "Pony" is so amazing. I'm in love with it. Rachel, of course, proves to be a little bit diva-ish (okay, a lot) and somewhat racist. This is so terribly hilarious. Also! I have missed seeing Rachel on her elliptical -- it's so motivating. Rachel is the best character because she desperately wants what she wants and she goes after it. Even though she sometimes takes it too far, Rachel does show the audience what it means to be driven. Then they see Blaine! I cannot believe Blaine and Kurt were in the same place long before they even met. This is so lovely. This may be the best episode of the entire season. 

At the end of the first hour of the two hour finale, Rachel talks about how this is the first time she's ever had friends. Her speech is so lovely. I'm so proud they all stayed in the Glee Club. They replayed the scene with the original six singing "Don't Stop Believing" and it so so beautiful. I miss Finn so much.

At this point, I was in tears. 

When the Present Day episode opened up, it showed that the Glee club made it to Nationals. New Directions win again, which is lovely. McKinley is being made into an arts school, which is so amazing. Schuester had such an influence. This is so lovely. And he gets to run the school. This is so lovely. I'm crying.

Three months later: The Schuester family is thriving and I'm thrilled. Also their little boy is precious. I'm so proud of the way this show is going. Rachel crying means I'm crying, just so you know. Also, Tina Cohen-Chang turned into a very pretty woman. Schuester throwing a kiss to Rachel and her mouthing "thank you" absolutely killed me. Blaine invites Sam to come out to New York. Sam comes back to coach the New Directions, which is wonderful.

Mercedes leaves first, off to be Beyonce's opening act. Who would have thought that? I actually also really love the friendship between Sue and Becky. It was the best part of Sue's character. They really hit the best parts when they sang Mamma Mia. The best part of this episode is that no one can actually say goodbye. They can sing together, but they can't give a farewell.

I'm dying. Sue is Vice President now? Blaine and Kurt are still together and still in love, which is nice. They both look a little like Liberace which is gorgeous (and gross. Liberace was gross). They also go to Harvey Milk school thing and sing "Daydream Believing" which is one of my favorite songs. I'm so thrilled with how they've aged. Blaine's hair is the best ever. Rachel sang "This Time" by Darren Criss and I was in tears, obviously.

Five years later, Tina and Artie are together. Rachel is pregnant. Blaine and Kurt are married and Rachel is their surrogate. I'm so thrilled. THIS IS EVERYTHING. Jesse and Rachel are married. Rachel is nominated for a Tony. I'm so excited. Everything is so lovely. Will and Emma have a ton of kids. The guy that announces the Tony was in another Ryan Murphy Show.

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING MOMENT. Rachel won a Tony award. It was all she ever wanted. I am so terribly thrilled.

"Being a part of something special does not make you special. Something is special because you are a part of it."

Fall 2020: They are all in red, which makes me feel things because that seems to be their color. They dedicated the auditorium to Finn and my heart was hurting.
