Glee-wind "Funeral"

I know I'm way behind on this and I honestly don't know why. Since Oxygen is having Glee marathon today I figured now is a pretty good time to do my Glee-wind.

Funeral was good. I would have liked a little bit more movement since I feel like the writers have a lot of storylines to tie up but regardless it was a good episode.

I seriously love seeing Finn going up against Jesse, it's super hot. Yeah Jesse is a jerk but he's so hot while he's doing it, it doesn't matter. It sucked that Finn felt beaten down by what Jesse said about his singing and dancing but it made for really good tension. When he said "Lima good" I totally took it as "not as good as Rachel" my heart kinda broke for him there. It only got worse as the episode went on. Seriously Cory was fantastic this episode.

I really liked how the solos were shown, like actual solos one after the other. Santana was so fantastic. She was so sultry, seriously one of my favorite songs of the season. And Jesse-drawing the cat-omg hilarious. He is so mean now and I kind of love it. It's hilarious. It's just so ridiculously entertaining.

My Man-blew me away. The beginning when she sees Finn in the hallway was both adorable and so very swoon. As much as I kinda wanted Rachel to move on, hearing her sing this song and basically saying that she would love him forever, regardless, it was wonderful. It was also fantastic because Lea Michele just killed it.

The entire funeral scene had me fighting tears back so badly. Sue's entire speech just broke my heart. Then finally the scene I have been waiting for since Finn and Quinn got back together-their break-up. Overall, I thought it was handled really well. Finn was finally honest with himself and honest with Quinn. They don't work and he couldn't fix things because you can't truly fix something that just fundamentally doesn't work. As much as he tried, being with Quinn didn't fix things, it didn't make him forget Rachel and the pain and love they felt for one another. Quinn was an escape and once Finn heard Sue's speech and realized how much time he had wasted he couldn't pretend any longer with Quinn. I really liked that as much as Quinn tried to bring up Rachel, Finn didn't let her because in that moment it wasn't about Rachel. It was about Finn and Quinn not working together.

The only thing I hated was the fact that Quinn just couldn't accept reality. She wasn't even that upset, she only got upset when she realized her prom queen dreams weren't going to happen and that Finn didn't even want that life. Finn was finally standing up for himself. It bugs me because if she really cared for him she would let him go be happy, not cling to him and make him miserable. Yes, Finn loved Quinn in some way but she wasn't his soulmate, and you can't force someone to be your soulmate.

I think the most important point that came out of the scene was Finn realizing he's "tethered" to Rachel. In that moment Finn and Rachel went from in love to soulmates and it sealed their fate together which was so amazing. Especially once Quinn left the truck. He was upset but then he felt that pull and looked up to see Rachel going to her car. It was just so wonderfully handled.

We see Finn finally realizing just how important Rachel is to him and then bam! He's walks into the auditorium and sees Rachel walking off stage with Jesse. Just as he realizes what he wants, what he wants stops waiting around for him to realize it. Then my heart broke into a million different pieces when the camera panned down to Finn's hand to show the pink tulip he had waiting to give to Rachel. Seriously broken. We know he plans this elaborate date in NYC for them so this just gave him that push again, and made him realize the kind of epic romance Rachel deserves. Even though the kiss put that overused angst in the storyline, I think Rachel's face after Jesse kissed her really showed how she felt about it. She wasn't smiling or blushing, she was frowning and her eyes were clenched shut because she wanted to be kissing Finn, not Jesse.

Then comes the curveball- Quinn telling Finn she has some big plans for NYC. It seriously creeped me out cause she had her crazy face on. I don't have a clue what she has planned but I just hope it's personal and has nothing to do with Finn or Rachel cause if so, her character can never be saved. If so why can't she just let him go be happy- GTFO Quinn. lol

I seriously have so many thoughts for next week, I can't wait!!!
