"Break A Leg." | "I Love You."

–I'm not a fan of Rachel/Finn, but they were adorable in this episode. The Quinn/Puck was cute (and actually believable in the flashback) but come out of left field.

–I'm not sure if it's Lea Michele or Rachel Berry, but I love how she'll kind of squeeze her face right before she kicks out a note of epicness.

–The splicing between Vocal Adrenaline's performance and Quinn giving birth was awesome.

–I desperately wanted to Rachel to smack Jesse in the face with his trophy.

So those were my Glee thoughts. Yours?

I was kind of up and down on this episode. I agree that Vocal Adrenaline's Bohemian Rhapsody was mind blowingly good and the Quinn intercuts were fantastic. I wanted to want New Directions to win, but Vocal Adrenaline really was sooo much better.
I don't know if Cory Montieth is getting better or i'm just appreciating him more, but i adored the way he said "I love you" to Rachel. Just quiet and sure. It was kind of a painful contrast to Will's I love you to Emma, which came out sounding far too much like a soap I love you, all shaky and dramatic. This killed me because I was DYING for an epic Will/Emma scene, where he chases after her and gets all dramatic, but this felt kind of meh to me.
My biggest problem was the it felt like all the big emotional moments felt rushed. The last time we saw Emma and Will together, he was reeling from his divorce and messing around with other women and trying to find himself. Now he knows he loves her and wants to fight for her? Same with Finn and Rachel. I felt like they were kind of hinting at Finn still having feelings for Quinn. Im not a Finn/Quinn shipper, but he thought he was going to be a dad and share a life with her. I wanted just ONE scene where he vocalizes that to ANYONE before he declares his love for Rachel. The declarations of love are all moments I wanted, just not so soon.

I have to admit, I really loved hearing them sing Dont Stop Believing with the "new" kids. That and Over The Rainbow was a lovely way to end the season.

Agreed. In that moment, I really appreciated Finn.

Pacing, especially in the last nine episodes, has been this shows biggest problem, imho.
