Glee-wind: On My Way

Glee hit us with a huge episode Tuesday. Emotional storylines, cliffhangers and huge changes to come.

I can't even explain how happy I am that we are getting to see Finn and Rachel have a normal relationship. We get to see them have normal disagreements like every couple has. Their honest with each other about their feelings and they find ways to work it out. We are seeing a relationship that's honest and strong, with the ability to move forward instead of letting it tear them apart.

Pairing Karofsky's bedroom scene with Cough Syrup was just genius and easily one of the most poignant scenes Glee has ever done. The song is this kind of strong powerful anthem while the scene that pairs with it is strong and powerful but for a completely different reason. It was really just amazing. While I think Quinn's opinion of the situation was really short-sighted, I sadly think it's pretty well within the character. It seems like Quinn is always short on compassion for others and this situation just goes along with her previous actions.

What I love even more than seeing Finn and Rachel fight like a normal couple is when the make up. Glee loves to have people make a mistake and then learn their lesson by the end of the hour. Finn and Rachel both got to realize what was important and choose to be selfless for their loved one. A great  lesson to see them learn. For all the possible hesitation people were claiming to see from Finn and Rachel about getting married it was amazing to them both so crazy excited to do it sooner than planned. While I kinda think waiting until after graduation is best, seeing them just so over-the-moon about each other and being married was adorable.

This season Glee has been producing some amazing competition performances. New Directions was so awesome, and the dancing was unbelievable. I really loved them all but Here's To Us was just this roaring anthem and then seeing those glances between Finn and Rachel just put me over the edge. Everything around them just slowed down and we got this beautiful moment between two people who are so excited to take this huge step in their lives together. So much was said in their glances and sadly my words really can't do it justice. New Directions winning Regionals was totally over shadowed by the rest of the episode but-yay!

Then we go straight into Finn and Rachel getting married and oh my goodness, a moment Finchel fans have been dreaming of. Again, despite all the perceived hesitation we see two people who just want to get married, and it's amazing. I absolutely loved when Finn and Rachel had their little moment and he was just stunned by her and wanted a moment alone with her before they met with everyone else. I thought Finn wanting a private moment with her was just so perfect for them because it's always been just Finn and Rachel as their relationship was never conventional and well understood by others. Being from two different worlds, their connection was so much deeper than anyone else could conceive that having this private moment was just so them. When Finn called Rachel Ms. Hudson Berry I about died, it was just too cute.

Although we didn't actually see them get married I thought it was amazingly wonderful to see them fully ready and excited to get married. All those doubts others saw before were completely gone and what was left was two people in love ready to be married.

Then we got that gut-punch of a cliffhanger and I just couldn't believe it.  I still kind of can't.  We have a pretty big hiatus to get through but I am super excited to see what happens when Glee comes back. I want to know what happens to the wedding and then also Quinn. Seeing how everyone reacts when something so terrible happens to one of their own is going to be the most interesting thing.

Here's to hoping this hiatus goes by fast!

xoxo,
Amanda
