I'll Take Romance

I have been catching up on my DVr'd shows (did I just again use a noun as a verb?) and finally finally saw the last two episodes of "Glee" I don't know why I waited - maybe there was a part of me who wanted to savor them. I am glad I did, though. I just watched them this evening, in a relaxed and open mood, and I think it helped me enjoy it more. The "Funeral" episode is a bit manipulative, and I suspect they did it to give Jane Lynch a "meaty" episode to submit for the Emmys. (And please - she should be nominated for Lead Actress) The "new York" episode, however, was, for me, one of the best in this uneven year for them. I know a lot of people weren't fans of this episode, but maybe there's a bit of nostalgia there for me. I missed NYC much more after watching the show. And the bit about Finn/Rachel romantic comedy - that was pure perfection for me. New York never looked more romantic, and it held memories of a New York City filled with romance, one of the descriptions for me of a city I once knew. And it was almost ironic - they lost because of love, Rachel's dreams shattered because of a kiss, just right after her telling Finn she needs to choose her "dream." And the song choices, for once, fit so well. I loved how the men sang "Bella Notte," one of my favorite songs. It gave an old-fashioned vibe to that scene pretty well, and well, I am just a sucker for old fashioned kind of love. (Sigh. Sometimes I still hope there's someone out there for me) I loved how they ended the series - with hope, secrets, romance (Still) Kurt and Blaine, Rachel and Finn, even the pleasantly unexpected Sam/Mercedes pairing (Why do they have to hide their romance, though? And how can they meet in the parking lot when Sam is homeless?Does he have a car?) All in all, a perfect cap to a year of some highs and lows...See you in September...

    i'm glad it had a nice feel for you. i am not a nyc person and after living by there for 2 years, i know why. i think i liked it better when i was a tourist but now it lost its taste. i love vegas though. :) maybe you should tell ryan murphy to send the cast there and shoot on location. :)

    I think cities are like people : you just sometimes do nto get along with some and you try your best but the chemistry is just not there. I feel the same way about Paris - I have been there and like it, but I am nto in love with the place. Now London, on the other hand :)

    Well, the GLEE cast did open their tour here, but I did not go. I hear the average age in the crowd is puberty :)
