One final bow.....Glee (5x13)
Well guys, there is no better way than this to open this post. Because that´s what "New Directions" was all about...the final moments of glee club. Will Schuster and the students put up a fight but in the end there was just one thing they could really do: Celebrate Glee club!
Unfortunately this episode felt kind of rushed and like I already mentioned in a few older posts, it just doesn´t feel like it did before Finn passed away. You just miss him everywhere :(
But since it´s the second half of the 100th episode you would think that we would hear all the songs we love so much one more time....well instead we get this:
I just don´t get why they would bring her back...don´t get me wrong I like Gwyneth Paltrow, but to celebrate this unique club, they do not really need any special guests in my opinion. What makes Glee club special is the fact that the club itself is so close!! People from all over the school came together in the choir room and celebrate their passion for music....and helped each other through so much, by being there for each other...all thanks to Will Schuster, who knew, that he could make Glee club into a save place for everyone! So why guest stars then? I really do not get it!
Let´s get some romance going to lighten the mood....After their cute make out session last week Puck and Quinn have a cute little duet.....
I´ve waited for those two to be together for sooo long, but now that they are...this all feels like it´s happening way to fast. And the performance seems a bit uncomfortable, don´t you think so too?
Some other good news: Rachel and Santana stop their b*** fight they had going on (so immature by the way) and Santana even pulls the plug on her understudy gig on "Funny Girl"!! Wow...way to go girl!! And then another awkward looking performance:
To me most of the performances don´t feel as effortless as they did before and this is something that really bugs me :(
Well back to Santana...ever since her and Brittney saw each other again you could just see those sparks flying and I loved it <3 They are such a cute couple....a couple that will live together in New York. Yes you red correctly, Santana invites her love to follow her to the Big Apple! <3 <3 And she says yes!!! <3 <3
As you can see above there is another milestone to concur for the students of McKinley High: Graduation!
To everyone up there makes you kind of proud :)
Ohhh god, I haven´t told you about THE funniest/weirdest/most underrated moment of this weeks episode yet:
In the beginning of "New Directions" Tina get knocked out by a show choir trophy and while she is unconscious, this happens:
I liked the opener and the music....obviously it was the "Friends" theme song....but let´s just not talk about the jokes....cause there where none ;)
Okay back to the harsh reality of Glee club´s final minutes.....as Rachel and Santana finish their song, Mr. Schue let´s everyone know, that it´s officially over :(
Not too fast Will, the kids have a very special surprise for you: They made a video for his future baby.....how "How I Met Your Mother" (okay in this case father) is that??!! Anyways, I loved it. Everyone talks about how will made their life better and how he always looked out for them. Oh and Kurt and Blaine let the "baby" know, that they have 2 kids.....that came from Quinn, who was their surrogate ;) How cute is that future talk ?!
And they make this moment even more special by singing the song that will always remind me of Glee:
Okay folks, I´ve got to be honest here.....I SO hoped, that they would somehow manage to let us hear Finns voice singing the song...especially in the first few seconds after Rachel had her part....it´s just the way we all know it. But to have Kurt sing it instead is....okay and somewhat appropriate I think.
So as this wonderful performance is over, we see Will heading into the choir room where Sue is already waiting for him. I think at that point we all thought exactly what Mr. Schue said:"Here for one final verbal beat down?". Turns out she is not.....quite the contrary: She lets him know, that she has connections to Carmel High and could get him the spot of the "Vocal Adrenaline" coach!! My initial reaction was: WTF?! But when you think about it: What is the think Will loves the most, well besides Emma and his unborn baby;)?! Right: Being a role model to students and music!!! Now that the glee club is over...this would be a good opportunity for him. Will he take it?! Only time will tell!
Sue leaves Will alone and there it is: His final moment in the choir room: As he looks around we hear some of the most inspiring, touching and overall loving quotes we heard in this room.....even a beautiful one from Finn .....oh god, to hear his voice breaks my heart....so many memories :(

<3 <3 <3 <3
Will gives us one last bow and that´s it......
What a beautiful way to honor the time we had there......to end glee club for good! Like someone I talked to said: "It would have been the perfect way to end the show.".
But for now we have one last season.....in New York City!
What did you think of "New Directions"?

Glee....fading away in loving memories :( (5x11)
The episode was called "City of Angels" and I was kind of excited for this one....it´s Nationals time and the gang is going to L.A.! And instead of making this about Mercedes (who I miss very much by the way), they make it about them and how they have no real leader.....well let´s just get this over with, because not everything was bad about the episode:
Without a warning, this episode became a Finn Hudson/ Corey Monteith tribute episode and the fact that I did NOT see that one coming left me in tears the second they showed pictures of him and started to talk about him as the "leader" of glee club. They where so right and I am very glad, that they did not forget that.
And to honor him the best way possible, they brought back the people, who knew Finn the best, those two:
Oh yes, they bring back his parents...and in a beautiful way <3 As you can see from the gifs they came to get the guys ready for their trip to L.A. and encourage them to do as good as they can! I think the problem that all of the Glee fans have is, that the show just does not feel the same as it did before. I think the producers also know that and this is why most of the episodes this season feel very "safe" and like something you have seen before, which I think is very very sad. No one saw Finn´s / Corey´s death coming and we all still have a difficult time with it. And so does the glee-club; as they think about a competition like the Nationals again, they realize, that he was the heart and soul of the club and the thing that made it special: I mean just think of this....what was the club before he joined in S1? Right, it was a bunch of shy kids, who where great singers but horrible performers and they did not believe in themselves. To be fair, Finn had a very hard time with all of this, too but he was the force that tried to make it work! He knew, just like Mr. Shue, that they could start something big.
Okay, so we are in L.A. now and who is baaack?! Right, Mrs. Mercedes Jones <3 I miss this diva so much and we haven´t heard from her in a while. It seems like she got her big break in the city of angels...but what in the world happened to her style??!!
Okay everyone relax...she just got a bit glammed up...well L.A.-affied ;) A few scenes later we have our stylish diva back to her old, caring and good advise giving ways!
So the glee-club is freaking out as always before their performance....and like always (like I mentioned, it all feels we have seen this TOO many times by now) there is this one club, that could ruin it all; and this year it is called: Throat explosion!! Seriously??!! How drunk where they,when they came up with that name?
I did not like their (Throat Expl.) choice of songs.....they where just boring...here is what they sang:
Mr. Roboto - Originally performed by Styx
Counting Stars - Originally performed by OneRepubic
So after the usual reaction: "Oh my god we are so bad we are going to lose and no one will like us!" it´s the "New Directions" turn to hit the stage:
When they first started singing I thought the song choice was kind of odd....but once Finns mum said, that "they are singing all of his favourite songs" I was over the moon. There was just no better way to have Finn (and Corey) with them in this moment by honoring him by singing...and if this wasn´t hard enough, there he was FINN....they show flashbacks of him and just like in the first tribute episode (that still makes me cry every time I watch it by the way), the tears started flowing. To see him back on the screen just brings back the feeling, that all this is just a very very very bad dream and he will just walk right into the choir room and start singing :/
The scenes they chose where just perfect...they showed him with the people he loved and in situations that where very important in his life. But still, do you guys also miss a Finchel scene?! I kind of did! :(
Okay after their performance it´s time for the judges to announce the winner and it iiiiissss:
NOT the "New Directions"....okay I think pretty much everyone saw that one coming...but what I did not see coming was their reaction. I thought they would play it cool and would be okay with at least winning something, but instead this was what we saw:
And here is their explanation for their odd behaviour: They wanted to win this trophy, so that they could give it to Finns parents. They wanted them to have something that he influenced so much, to be with the people he loved the most in his life.
They are just the sweetest...but as Finns mum said: The glee club is his legacy and this is where he will live on.....well there is a slight problem with that.
I don´t know if you remember Sue and Will at the beginning of the school year: She is the new principal and tells him, that ONLY if they win Nationals again, she will keep the glee-club, so now it is history! Or is it?! After Kurt, Rachel and Santana get the news in NYC it seems like they might plan something for next weeks (two-part) 100th episode, let´s wait and see.
For the most part this episode left me disappointed, but once that last half came along I was kind of okay with it because I knew by then this will be a tribute episode. The songs they sung at Nationals where not really competition material, but it brought the quarterback back for 5 minutes....and reminded us, how much we still miss him!
What did you think of the episode? Do you think glee-club is over for good?

A slow tv week and a lot of confusion on Glee!
Those weeks are the worst for good tv: Holiday weeks!!!
This week the Americans celebrated Thanksgiving and not only was I forced to pause on my new favourite show "Sons of Anarchy", but there also was no Arrow and no TVD!!
So there is not much to write about, well there is something:
A very very very confusing Glee episode!!
Just when I thought the season was finally starting to pick up where it left off the seasons before it proofed me wrong.
This weeks episode was titled "Puppet Master" and you get what you read: puppets!!!
To be honest guys....I hated this weeks episode. Most of the time I was so confused about what was going on and by the end of the episode I felt like I´ve just been on a bad mushroom trip ;)
Nothing really happened during this episode....Blaine had his usual Diva moment and began to hallucinate, Sue Silvester tried to impress a guy she liked, Kurt and his new formed band had their first gig and Jake and Marley keep on fighting (for what exactly I´m not shure;) ).
(this gif pretty much summs up my reaction to the episode;P )
The fact that the super fun song "what does the fox say" was sung did not help....unfortunately:(
I was so disappointed, because after last weeks episode I was SO stocked that Adam Lambert will have some guest appearances this year. In my opinion this episode was a total waste. This show is about music and about challenging difficult themes and not about a bunch of highschool and college students playing with puppets;)
Okay here it goes....the "performances" of the episode:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqICnQk0OTM (sorry couldn´t find a direct link to show on the page)
(at least something to look at in this whole mess of an episode ;) )
There is really nothing more I can say other that the Janet Jackson mash up was my favourite song of the episode.
I´ll leave now.....confused and disappointed;)
What did you think of the episode?

Glee - A Katy or A Gaga (5x04)
The tension at McKinley High is rising, because nationals are up in just 6 weeks and after finding out that they have some new competition ("throat explosion") the glee club is freaking out! Apparently "Throat explosion" (seriously, who came up with that name?!) is a hard working group of people, performing all day, like mini Lady Gagas. Aaaand here we go; after figuring out, that there are some Gagas and some Katys in the club Mr. Shuster determines the assignment for the week: Al Gagas will become Katys and all Katys will become Gagas......this should be interesting!
Meanwhile back in New York Kurt wants to start a new band!! Finally, I thought he would never put his looks and his amazing voice to good use;) Well Santana and Dani are all for it and join the band, but Rachel is not up for it just yet and tells them that she has too much on her plate right now, especially with the "Funny Girl" rehearsals. So Kurt, Santana and Dani hold open auditions aaaand no one shows up......except for: STARCHILD aka. the best special guest of all times: Adam Lambert!! There are no words for this amazing performance, so I´ll just let it speak for itself....ladies and gentleman Starchild performing "Marry the Night":
I just loved how they let Adam just be...well, Adam. For everyone, who does not know who Mr. Lambert is; first of all shame on you! And secondly here some quick infos: Adam was on American Idol in 2009 and made it all the way to the finale, where he lost against Kris Allan. From the very beginning he was very, lets say "free" in his performances and just performed the heck out of every performance! He enjoyed the loud numbers as well as the quiet ones. Here are just some of my favourites from American Idol:
There are so many more...you should really check them out!!!
So "Starchild" has Santana and Dani on his side and they totally love him, but Kurt of all people think he should "tone down his looks". Really Kurt, this.....coming from you?! The Lady Gaga of McKinley High?
(source:Tumblr)
Well later we learn that he wants to go more mainstream because he thinks that this is the only way to have success. It actually kind of hurt me to hear these words from Kurt. His character is special, because he never adapted himself to anything and was/is proud of the way that he lives his life, so why stop now?Especially in New York of all places?! This is basically what Rachel tells him and Kurt really listens, there is only one problem.....he doesn´t have "Starchilds" number or even his full name...bummer!!
Back at McKinley Sam is worried that he can not impress his new crush, the school nurse with his soft Katy Perry moves and is glad that he as a "Katy" is able to transform into a "Gaga" this week. So he goes totally crazy when he tries to have the weirdest performance of "Applause" of all times, Gaga would have been proud!
I have no words for what I´ve just seen.....just NO words;)
There is another couple that has some trouble in their pink paradise.....Marley and Jake. They slowly start to realise, that they don´t really have much in common. And it does not really help, that Bree butts in and wants Jake´s help with some of the choreos for the cheerios. He first says no, but after some encouragement from his girlfriend he agrees to help. Ugh Marley really.....are you blind. Take off those pink glasses and take a look; your boy will be all over Bree if you let him and you can be shure she won´t say no! Right after the "Applause" performance Marley is suspended, because she wanted to be herself.....a Katy! I was actually kind of mad that mister Shue did not see that and encouraged her to be the one thing that is most important: herself!
Okay, so after we have seen the Gaga group perform let´s take a look how far the Katy group is with their performance.....no that far;) They want to have this huge spectacle and even try to get a tiger for their performance at some point. Well, when they did not get the tiger, this happens:
(source: Tumblr)
I laughed so hard when I saw Jake dressed up like.....well he said it best:"a gay thundercat"! :)
So after realizing that they have to tone it down a tiiiny bit, they deliver my favourite performance of the entire episode:
What about Sam and his school nurse you ask?! Well after he comes over to ask her, how she liked the totally crazy, weird performance she tells him, that she did not like it at all. It turns out, that she only dated bad boys to seem "cool" and not boring, but all it brought her was heartbreak and a lot of stolen stuff^^ They find out, that they have more in common than they thought, for example they both like Katy Perry!!
(source:Tumblr)
(source:Tumblr)
So they kiss and that's it! Sorry if I keep this kind of short, but to be honest, I don´t really care about those two too much;)
Back in New York Kurt is working when he meets Starchild again!! Oh thank god! His real name is Elliot and he CAN TONE DOWN his looks;)
(source: Tumblr)
He joins the band and after debating on a name the "Pamela Landsberrys" have their first performance in Kurt, Rachel and Santanas place:
Oh, you wonder, why Jake acted so weird, when he saw Bree and Marley....well after a bit of a jealous rush from Marleys side and a fight between Jake and Marley the sexy "Tarzan" seems to have hooked up with "The new Santana". Oh god, I really hope that it didn´t happen but judging from his reaction something went down!! We will have to wait till next week to find out. Just "hang" in there guys;)
(source:Tumblr)
Here is a sneak peek of next weeks episode:
Glee is finally back to it´s roots....shockingly;)
Let me know what you thought of last weeks episode in the comments!

Remember the love! - Cory/Finn tribute episode (Glee)
(source: Tumblr)
Yesterday it was time for McKinley High to bid their farewell to Finn. I´m not going to make a long post here, because words can not express how perfect this episode was. For fans it was time to come to terms with what happened to Cory and have a peaceful farewell. I loved the choice that the creators made, not to address the way Finn died, because like they said in the episode: "I wouldn´t make a difference, he is gone!"
Everyone dealt with the death of their friend in their own way, but for me personally the scene, where Kurt, Burt and Finns mom are in his room going trough his stuff to see what to keep and what to donate was very hard to watch. I can only imagine, how hard this still must be for Cory´s partents. All in all I think I was a beautiful tribute with a very smart song choice that gave the glee-family the oppurtunity to lay Finn and Cory to rest.
So thank you Ryan Murphy, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Matthew Morrison, Naya Rivera,Jenna Ushkowitz, Amber Riley, Mark Salling, Harry Shum Jr., Jayma Mays, Chord Overstreet, Darren Criss, Iqbak Theba, Mike O´Malley, Dot Jones, Melissa Benoist, Jacob Artist, Alex Newell, Becca Tobin, Blake Jenner and especially Lea Michele for their strenght that they brought up to give us fans the oppurtunity to say "Goodbye Finn Hudson"!
I feel there is nothing more to say and this is why here are all performances from last nights episode, most of them are VERY hard to watch.
"Seasons of Love"
"I´ll Stand by you"
"Fire and Rain"
"If I Die Young"
"No Surrender"
"Make You feel my Love"
Did you guys watch?

So thank you Ryan Murphy, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Matthew Morrison, Naya Rivera,Jenna Ushkowitz, Amber Riley, Mark Salling, Harry Shum Jr., Jayma Mays, Chord Overstreet, Darren Criss, Iqbak Theba, Mike O´Malley, Dot Jones, Melissa Benoist, Jacob Artist, Alex Newell, Becca Tobin, Blake Jenner and especially Lea Michele for their strenght that they brought up to give us fans the oppurtunity to say "Goodbye Finn Hudson"!
I feel there is nothing more to say and this is why here are all performances from last nights episode, most of them are VERY hard to watch.
"Seasons of Love"
"I´ll Stand by you"
"Fire and Rain"
"If I Die Young"
"No Surrender"
"Make You feel my Love"
Did you guys watch?

Goodbye Finn Hudson
The first time I heard about Cory Monteith was, when I watched some kind of gossip tv show in America talking about this new show "Glee" and introducing it´s viewers to the main characters. They talked about this character Finn Hudson, a quaterback who likes to sing and later on joins the glee club. I wasn´t really interested because all I thought was: Oh great here we go....Highschool Musical 2.0! But then they showed Corys audition tape (take a close look at 03:23):
Why do I show you guys this part of the audition tape? Well i think when Cory/ Finn played the drums his passion for music just bursted trough the screen. I think Corys character Finn had a lot in common with him.....he wasn´t that confident in his singing in the beginning, too but I think he accepted it later on as good enough. As the show gained popularity we learned that Cory struggeled with his addiction for a long time but we all hoped he had it under control. And I do not want to downplay his addiction or anything, but I actually think for the most part he was able to control it. But as we all learned in July, he lost his battle against his inner demons. If willingly or accidently doesn´t really matter, because it´s tragic enough that yet another great actor/singer/drummer was taken from us way to early.
So as tonight we bid our farewell to Finn I thought it may be a good idea to show, why we can expect a celebration of Finns live and not a memorial episode:
Corys character was ( I really want to write IS...) a great rolemodel to so many young teens and he helped a lot of outcasts to stand up for themselfes. Do you remember, when at his moms and Kurts dads wedding he sang "Just the way you are"?! He promised Kurt to protect him from bullies and be a good brother? I loved that scene....(really crappy sound and quality sorry...but you get what I mean)
Also his insecurities regarding Rachel made his character very relatable and real. I like to believe, that his character felt the same way about Rachel as he felt about Leah. My favourite scene between those two was, when Finn tells the love of his life, that they are the "endgame"...which breaks my heart over and over again considering it didn´t come to that:
Remembering Finn as the guy who dressed up as Lady Gaga to show that he didn´t give a damn would be too easy;) So I chose to show you my personal favourite; I mean can you believe how hard it must be to convince a team of football players to dance to "Single Ladies"?!
So knowing that the third episode of the 5th Glee season will be very hard to watch, I wanted to take the time to say thank you to the producers and writers of the show. Thank you for introducing us to such an interesting and real character, that showed us how much is possible if you just take the first step.
With this beeing said, lets say "Goodbye" to Finn Hudson and to Cory and let us celebrate their passion for art and music and let us remember both in that way...singing, drum playing and maybe even dancing!
Bye Finn/Cory, may you rest in peace!

Glee - Tina in the sky with diamonds (S5 E2)
So it´s the second "Beatles" week at McKinley and the glee club is still buzzing with the news of Kurt and Blaines engagement. Meanwhile Sam is looking for a new love interest and finds it in the new schoolnurse (don´t worry it´s not an old lady but a cute college student). Also it´s time for the prom king and queen nominations and Tina and Kitty are one of the nominees! Tina is beyond thrilled to have the chance to be promqueen of 2014 and immediately starts her campaign. Kitty is very suportive and therefore gets threatened by a really mean Cheerios captain (girl can talk bad!).
Okay let´s see what our Broadway hopefulls are up to in NYC:
Santana just scored a commercial gig for vaginal cream and sort of starts her tv career;)
(source: youtube)
But even more important, at work she gets to know Dani, the first 100% lesbian she has the pleasure of knowing;) So we get to see a side we are SO not used to: A nervous Santana:) It was so cute, how she asked Rachel of all people for advice about how to aproach Dani and so on and Rachel herself could not help but smile! After spending some time with her coworker they decide to give it a try and personally I can´t wait to see how this is going!! They really look cute together!
On some other news; Kurt decides it´s also time for him to start working, so Rachel, Santana and Dani have a new colleague. Yeah it looks as weird as it sounds, Kurt working as a waiter, but it´s the grownup-thing to do right;) During her shift Rachel is called to a table, where the casting director of "Funny Girl" is waiting to take an order. He orders a whole cake with the inscription: "Congratulations for being Fanny!". Yes guys, I thought wrong in the last episode....Rachel actually made it on Broadway, she got her role in "Funny Girl". For a second I was really excited, but I still think it all runs way to smooth. Well, lets see how it will turn out.

Back to McKinley: It´s prom timeeee! And Tina actually did it, she is PROMQUEEN, oh and stoner Brad is promking....very "intersting" couple;) But little does Tina know, that the Cheerios planned all of this. So as the crowning ceremony is over and she enjoys her big moment, they flush a full bucket of slushy on her, for the entire shool to see. When Tina runs off stage into the choir room and is ready to go home, her friends from the glee club join her and clean her up. Another great scene to show, what this show is about: Friends will always help you to dust yourself up and get back out there so you can show those haters, that they can´t get to you<3
The episode ends with a lovely version of "Let it be" which I thought was very fitting as a crtossover for the next episode, just consider the lyrics:
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
(Ooh)
A-let it be, let it be
(Ooh-ooh)
Whisper words of wisdom
(Ooh-ooh)
Let it be
(Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
And these "times of trouble" will come sooner to our McKinley and NYC family as they think! Next weeks episode is called "The quaterback" and as we will have to say goodbye to Finn, most of us say bye to Cory as well. The fans of the show (including me) only knew Cory as Finn, but I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that it felt as they where one and the same person. Especially in those quiet, thoughtful scenes it shined through, how genuine Cory was. I can not imagine, how hard it must have been for the cast and crew to film S1E3 only a few weeks after his tragic death. Also it must have been quite a challenge to the brilliant minds that write for this show to find a honest and fitting way to bid their farewell to this character. To everyone who stuck with this show since the beginning next week will be hard and as I can say from experience, the promo is VERY hard to watch, so you can decide wether or not you want to get a glimpse of "The quaterback" you have to decide for yourself, but here it is:
So let´s come together as the glee family we are and join our cast in one of their hardest moments. Let´s try to comfort them as much as we can with as many twitter, facebook and whatever messages as we can and let´s do the thing that will be the hardest next week: Let´s say "Goodbye" to our friend Finn!
Will you watch the episode or are you not ready yet? Let me know what you think of the promo for next weeks episode and lets hear what you think of this weeks!

Glee Season premiere and a little preview
It´s all about the Beatles in the first two episodes of the 5th season of Glee. The premiere of the new season begins with Rachel not getting her part in "Funny Girl" but this would really have been too much, right? I mean she just got into NYADA, had a super hot dance and bed partner and the most amazing roommate ever! So anyway we all know Rachel, once she got rejected she is all sad and misses everyone and there comes a beautifully melancholic version of "Yesterday"
After a few more songs we see Rachel is now a waitress, wow now AFTER she moved in this ridiculously huge apartment?! Well anyways I liked the outfit, so I think that's fine. Back to school;) Sue is baaack and she is the new principal, not a big surprise for everyone who saw the promos. Mr. Shuster and the new Cheerios coach are sent to Sues office and pretty shure, that one of their jobs is in jeopardy, if not even both. So you can imagine how shocked they are when they learn that both of them will keep their job and they will even have Sues support......well she basically tells them that for her first year she needs to make a good impression and after this time is passed they can look for some new hobbies.
Aaaanyways, of course after last season sort of cliffhanger: Blaine > the ring box> Kurt > proposal?....we learn, that Blaine is still planning on proposing to his boyfriend. He asks the Glee club members to help him and the only one who is actually excited is Sam. Personally I think, Sam doesn´t really get whats happening so he thinks that at least someone should clap;) So the club listens to a mini speech about gay marriage in which Blaine reveals, that he wants to propose in a huge way (don´t get me wrong, but this felt sooo gay.....you know SO over the top>>> still love the gays....don't get me wrong here). He wants help from the rivaling clubs like Vocal Adrenalin, The Warblers, and so on. speaking of help....the junction of the club is shown with a performance of the Beatles classic "Help"
and I loved it.
So then they squeeze in a little private performance for depressed Tina until the big moment comes: THE PROPOSAL. On the way to his (super secret) surprise Kurt reveals to his dad, that he knows that Blaine will propose to him and that he is not shure what his answer will be. And then Kurts dad does what he does best, he stands by his son and gives him a super sweet speech and basically tells him that he should listen to his heart. Kurt steps out of the car and then this happens:
Sweet? Too over the top? Surprising? Let me know what you think in the comment section:)
And now I wanted to share the preview that executive producer Ryan Murphy posted on Twitter about the 3rd episode of the season, called "The quarterback":

Will you be watching the farewell episode? If you watch, how do you guys think they will be dealing with the issue of Corys dead?
Let me know what you think! Let´s talk tv!
