Loved it. Another episode where everything was done right but c'mon, Sue needs to get a life. The vendetta is old.
Glad we got the kiss at the end.

Terrific fall finale, Mercedes was solid with her number, and Rachel really owned that room with her solo as well. Good group number at sectionals and at the end, and finally we get Will and Emma together, but for how long? Is it April yet?

Re: Glee -- "Sectionals" -- 12/9/09

Everything about what was going on in that judge's room had me rolling in the proverbial aisle. I had to back it up and watch it a few times before moving on. From the supers written on the screen to the pervy guy trying to make time with the lady with his Altamont story to the woman that just wanted to get the hell outta there!

That's so perfect that these kids spent all this time rehearsing for weeks and weeks with all this drama in their lives and it all comes down to these three schmoes who could give two shits.

This show is brilliant. Loved the ending. Especially Emma's smile right before the cut to black.

Bravo!!! I stayed up until 3:40am PT watching and was glued to it without even remotely feeling tired.

Fantastic Fall Finale. It's going to be a very hard wait for the next 4 months, but I'm sure Ryan Murphy and his writers are going to come up with some great material for the final 9 episodes.

The scene where Finn learned the truth about Quinn and Puck was very well done.

Lea Michelle's cover of Don't Rain on My Parade was absolutely brilliant.

I mentioned earlier that I thought alot of the songs in Volume 2 was just okay. I have to agree with Infidel that most of the music works better within the context of the show. I listened to My Life would suck without you yesterday in the car and thought it was a ho-hum cover, but I thought it worked really good with the final scene and Will's kiss with Emma. Very sweet ending.

Sue's constant vendetta against Will is annoying, but a show like this needs an antagonist and she fits the bill.

The show and the music always bring a smile to my face at the end.

Sue is so annoying. She is one dimensional really serves no purpose. Its not even realistic. Sure I can suspend some stuff but that is way over the top. They also need to add more character development or this show won't make it. We know nothing about most of the people in the glee club.

Did you read the post right above yours? DJariya said it all in that Sue is the antagonist of the show. That is her purpose. The fact that she's so over the top is indicative of just what kind of show this is. They make us hate her actions so much that we're forced to root that much more for everyone she's up against. Winning sectionals was a given. They had to win to begin the trip to Regionals. But beating Sue made it that much more sweeter, and the fact that she'll be back makes us come back ourselves to see what she has up her sleeve next time. The "Sue Sylvester Express" is the train wreck we just can't turn away from.

What do you think they've been doing over the last 13 episodes? You don't just come out over the course of a couple episodes and give the life stories of everyone in the cast. You draw it out over time and keep people interested by dropping little bits here and there. They've left lots of room to show things about where everyone has come from and what makes them who they are. We've not even met Rachel's dads yet!

They've been doing a fantastic job with this show, and don't need to change a thing.

So someone says to me, "Lea Michele is gonna sing 'Don't Rain on My Parade,'" and I'd have said, "You're nuts." And then my jaw dropped when I heard her do it. She could easily hold up a revival on Broadway of "Funny Girl."

I was more tickled to tears than moved. Really, REALLY got what I wanted from this installment.

I wisely saved all the episodes from "Preggers" onward on my TiVo. I will have mini-marathons until the show returns in April!

BTW Vol. 2 got an "A-" from Entertainment Weekly. The reviewer expected to hate it since the music would seemingly require the show's visual to be strong but found the music quite enjoyable on its own. Me? Going RIGHT to my iPhone GLEE playlist, thank you VERY much!

My guess is it will be the guys shown in the pictures in her locker, whoever they are.

Anyone notice that Puck's face looked pretty good for someone who just got punched repeatedly?

What more can be said. Fantastic episode. It's a long way 'till Spring time.

I think I was just as happy for the kids as Will was. Maybe not as weepy, but still proud of them.

Good point. I'd have to say I felt the same about Firefly and Sports Night. but it's been a while. Plus I work in theatre so I know people exactly like these kids.

Great episode. Maybe it was only me, but I felt like they redid some scenes as some actors looked a little bit different in those scenes. I think they finished taping the show, this fall season, a long time ago, right?

Well, this would be cool. Of course, as so many have already said, she would be great as Rachel's mother. Hopefully they can bring back Kristin Chenowith and they could duet. Now that would be Television to watch!

Yes, they finished filming all 13 episodes during the summer.

They will start filming the final 9 episodes next month.

Of course, it could be an uncomfortable smile rather than a happy one.
