Just watched the Glee finale last night after having missed it last Tuesday. I was sitting there bawling through a good portion of it.  It was your typical, tied up ends ending, without the drama of an impending cliffhanger.  But is Glee that type of show?  No.

Glee’s entire purpose is to make you feel good. The entire purpose of the show outweighs its need to be logical, practical, or even climactic.  That’s kind of what I like about it, is that I can go in, knowing I’ll smile, laugh or have a good cry and feel good after watching it.  I don’t like it when all I feel from a show is depressed (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer Season 2, I’m looking at you…).

So everything ended in a pretty predictable fashion, and thankfully the quirky gang of singers and quasi-dancers didn’t take home their Regionals throne.  There is predictable, and then there is downright impossible.   

There were a good handful of “aww” moments which usually get to me, see: finn’s profession of love, shu’s profession of love, emma’s freakout, sue’s vote, quinn/baby, puck’s face in the ER, singing to shu, and probably others I’ve missed.   

Moments that made me cringe:  the ending.  Somewhere over the rainbow, relationships and storylines remain kinda gross. Mike/Matt fist bump, Artie staring blissfully at Tina and holding hands, Rachel goes in for Finn, Quinn/Kurt/Mercedes, Brittany and Santana lean on each other, and the MOTHER of all things gross… Rachel’s mom becomes a mom again to Quinn’s baby?  Really?  I have to take note of a comment made on another review: Apparently hospitals are now giving away babies? Listen up, adoption is NOT an arduous process.  Just swing by and pick yourself up your VERY OWN BABY.

Ah….  Well I did cry. Lots.  So that was fulfilling.

Need a feel good: Watch Glee.
