Glee Finale; Or, Please Let Me Break Ryan Murphy's Neck

What in the world did I just wasted my precious hour on?! I was waiting the whole season for this episode and it turned out a big, big mess. Don't get me wrong, there were some good parts, but most is just BLAH or BLECH.

The Good Parts (or, the parts that didn't make me hate the episode so much)

• The opening scene was amazing. There were pretty great shots of New York. The Broadway billboards made me squeal in ecstasy and there was that hint of hope that this might actually be as great a finale as last season's. The end shot with Rachel standing there, taking it all in, was genius. I can actually see myself as Rachel. And I guess when I'd get the chance to be on that same spot someday, I will act the same way.
• Mr. Schue's moment. He's a more talented guy than he actually lets on, and he has a big, big heart to boot. Seeing him there on the stage singing and performing his heart out. It was surreal. He deserved that moment.
• I felt the same with Rachel and Kurt's duet. It was a really magical moment. It's like one of my personal dreams has been granted. Yeah, being a Broadway artist will always be my secret dream.
• I just love Rachel in this episode. I loved her outfits even more though. Seriously, I want her jacket, her hat, her dress.
• Santana and her fluent angry Spanish.
• The lovely Klaine moment in the end.

The Blah (not hateful enough, but unnecessary)

• Samcedes? Nuh. Uh uh. What genius even thought of that? There was not even a slightest hint of chemistry. I know it was a desperate attempt to appease those gleeks who's harassing Ryan Murphy to get Mercedes a boyfriend. Which doesn't make any sense since Mercedes is an effing diva and she doesn't need a man. But if she does, Sam is the least likely guy for her. Sam has been like, "the boyfriend" in the show. And that's really sad because the characterization is good enough to move a story on his own. Guess Glee writers are not aware of that fact. Why don't those guys just give the job to the ones who can remember the storyline, observe character growth, and write good dialogues. As far as I'm concerned they're just a bunch of fanfic writers who does everything the majority of the gleeks wants.
• The Bathroom scene was a pathetic attempt at making Rachel resemble a human being. Close enough, but try harder.
• The "kiss" was pulse-stopping and it could've been an awesome moment if it wasn't done on a show choir competition. What did Jesse say? Oh yeah, unprofessional. But for me, completely unnecessary.
• Charice. I don't like her. The end.

The Blech (don't even get me started)

• The New York Mashup was a disaster. The New York number in the first episode was better than this. The whole time it was awkward, all over the place, and poorly edited. Just where is their choreographer? Do they even have one?
• The Yeah! number was even more WTF-inducing. I mean, the girls dance really well but their outfits seem a little inappropriate for the performance. And their song choice and execution is not show choir material.
• Vocal Adrenaline. If Jesse would have been there performing I could have rooted for them. But no. The Vocal Adrenaline performance was more like the Charice Pempengco, I mean, Sunshine Corazon, show. She's good, I get it, but what's the big effing deal? It was a show choir competition. Plus their performance wasn't even stellar. It was forgettable. What did she, I mean they, sing again? Last year's Bohemian Rhapsody was loads better. Heck, last season's Rehab was loads better.
• The Finchel thingy was just boring, to say the least.
• "I just want somebody to love me." Really? Really, Quinn? Guess what, sister: SOMEBODY DID LOVE YOU. And he probably still loves you now. But what exactly did you do? Oh yeah, cheated on him for a greater chance at a stupid plastic crown! That guy treated you like a princess! Now you’re telling us you want somebody to love you? You can’t love anybody but yourself, sissy. Don’t act like you’re the victim here.
• By now I have accepted the fact that New Directions will never now the meaning of a show choir performance. For them it's a duet (where the rest of the group sway at the back in the dark) followed by a light, upbeat number where they do some "dancing", choreography be damned.

Whatever. Jesse St. James needs a show of his own. He's the real star out there.

Drop the World

Hey there. I just finished watching Drop the World Part 2 episode of Degrassi. Please excuse me while I stabilize my body, catch my breath and lower my blood pressure.

...

There. Thank you. Now, I don't normally blog about TV episodes. Most likely because they're too short to blog about. But after watching this episode of Degrassi, I think I need to vent out or I'll explode. If you haven't watch the episode yet and you're intending to and you hate spoilers, you need not go ahead and read.

In Which I Profess My Hatred of Glee and Everything It Choses To Be

Before I begin, let me just say that I am, since the very beginning, a very big fan of glee. Granted, I do not buy glee merchandises (gosh, that's so cheesy) and I don't join contests or events about the said show. You will not catch me tweeting,

omfg u guize glee wuz awesum!!1! Finchel 4evz!! <333

No. Just no. Nevertheless, I have stuck with Glee since the very first Cheerio practice on the day the football team dumped Kurt in the dumpster. The first season was good. I enjoyed the songs and performances and although I find the characters awkward and the story so so, Glee was good. And it was also popular. Yes. I admit that one of the thing that got me watching Glee was its popularity. Glee caught on like a virus. I even remember during our senior year when Glee first showed up and my friend Joana and I (who, back then, were the only people who has probably heard of Glee in our school) were like hipsters. We feel so superior that we know something our school don't so yeah. Haha. We try to encourage people to watch it too. Next thing we know, it became a household name. Glee.

Oh yeah. You must be wondering where the hate part is. So hold on to your seatbelts now. Let the ranting begin.

It all started after the Christmas episode. I can say that was the last good Glee episode ever. After that special, I waited and waited and waited for a "boom" episode. I waited in vain. Maybe that "boom" episode will be the Prom episode, I dunno, maybe it will not come at all.

First of all, what the fuck did they think they were going on with Finn?! He was my favorite character before. He was vulnerable and relatable and funny without meaning to be with his young boy mind ( I seriously love hearing his mind speaking aloud). Now he's all this power-hungry douche who is suddenly going after a girl who (at least we all thought so) he doesn't love anymore. Heck, we're not even sure if he loved her. Is it because she's unavailable now? Is it because he doesn't want to be alone (sure, because what's a football captain without a hot blonde girlfriend?!). Ugh please.

Andbutso, what's even worse than the bastardization of Finn's character (real and beloved Finn, rest in peace, wherever the heck you are) is that of Quinn's character. WHY. WHY? WHY?! Her character had a wonderful growth last season. All those times, wasted! Whatever happened?! So she's a power-hungry - pardon my French - slut once again? Going after the football captain while he's dating adorkably nice Sam Evans, who also happened to be a football player and a friend of the first said guy? Which brings us to...

Uh yeah, who will ever ruin a good relationship like this? Obviously not a person with a heart! Really Ryan? You got bored? What is wrong with you? They were happy. He treated her like a princess. She adores him and his dorky ways. Oh ho, but no. You have to make her bitchy diva self to decide that Sam's not good enough. Bullcrap.

The question everybody wants an answer to: Will McKinley High ever run out of bullies? Seriously? Hockey Players? What's next? Turn the hockey players soft for a moment and then get them slushied by the fucking Chess Club?

And the song choices! They're doing more and more new songs. I think it's good when they do old songs, they're like, bridging the gap between old people and young people.

Whoa this is getting pretty long. Time to just list things up:

• Holly Holiday? Yeah, I didn't like your song choice. Not that it was provocative or what, it was just not good. Landslide was awesome though
• Santana the boyfriend-stealer-who-then-magically-turned-lesbian. There's no buildup with her lesbian story line. I mean, I'm cool with a lesbian character on glee but it was kind of rushed and just snuck up on you when you least expects it. Jeesh.
• Will and Emma are so confusing.
• It's okay for Sue, a teacher at McKinley High, to push students, put dirt in their lockers and throw sticks at them. No wonder kids like Karofsky hurt other kids too.

And for the grand finale - the fucking Regionals episode. Despite the pretentious song choice, I still think Aural Intensity should have won. Uhm hello? Does New Directions know the meaning of a show choir? Aural Intensity was a show choir, Vocal Adrenaline was a show choir, Spectacular! was a show choir. New Directions is NOT a show choir. It's Rachel Berry with some people swaying in the back. And sure, I loved the song Loser Like Me but they really have to start moving together in a dance number. Not just sway.

Yeah, you better Get it Right next time.

/End rant.
