Little Lucy Extra I don’t get why people are saying this, like it doesn’t makes any sense. They were acting, it doesn’t have to do ANYTHING with Cory’s death. Maybe, they were so into it, and were like imaginating if that was the real case (the break up).

[@ChrisE1996]

The first three seasons were actually pretty good tbh. I stopped watching after a few episodes into S4.

[@acoleman51096]

Hearing the cast talk about this was interesting and showed how real it was. None of the other actors on the cast knew this scene happened until they watched it except Lea and Cory. They had to find out by watching the finale when it originally aired. Lea was sad/mad when she read it in the script originally and was like Finn would never do that to her! Lea said her face was swollen for like 2 days or something like that after filming this scene bc of all the crying during and after the scene. Such a perfect scene with the best acting performances of these two. Emotionally gut wrenching and so powerful bc of their real life feelings for each other.

[@rock4385]

Why is everyone so mad? I mean I was heartbroken when Finn did this, but I could actually understand what he was doing. What was Finn going to do when Rachel was in NYADA? Where were they going to live? Finn wanted what was best for Rachel. He had to surrender all of his love for her because he knew in his heart that it wouldn’t work out in New York. He even said himself they were going to surrender. It sort of sucks because in the beginning the producers and the writers made Finn look like an idiot. But throughout the seasons he was saying things he wouldn’t have understood in the first season! Well, thanks for reading all this stuff. Sorry, I’m a glee junkie.

People grieve in different ways. Just because someone isn't crying profusely doesn't mean that they're not sad too. I don't actually watch the show, but Quinn seems like a tough character with family members that are very closed off about their emotions. Sure Quinn has cried sometimes, but other times she may be hiding away her sadness.

[@emmaclarksonperez5600]

lea conveyed this feeling so powerfully.. the helplessness when everything you built up in your mind about your future comes crashing down. when you’re pushed into doing something that deep down you know is right & good for you but is so hard to go through with. when you wish the world would come to a halt so that you can take a moment to process before moving on. but the world is ruthless. and instead, everything seems to be moving a little too quickly. i cry every time i watch this, i know that feeling and i hate it. amazing performances from both, it seemed so real. rip cory ❤️

[@InkAndPoet]

Finn is what a boyfriend should be. He knew what Rachel wanted to do with her life and by choosing him over her dream, he knew she should would eventually regret it. So by calling off their engagement and pretty much forcing her to go to her dream college, he made a wise sacrifice that paid off. If only their relationship could've been revived.

[@jacobboe7711]

How is NO ONE talking about how Titanic-esque his monologue at 2:19 his. I mean, everything! The phrasing, the inflections, even the rhythm! Finn: "You're gonna get on that train. And you're gonna go to New York. And you're gonna be a star." Jack: "You're gonna get outta here. You're gonna go on. And you're gonna make lots of babies."

[@christinelundgren7805]

So? This scene was incredible. Made even more so with Cory and Lea dating. Then it sadly came true in real life too. I love Titanic but Leo and Kate weren't a couple in real life so I find this scene harder to watch. Even more so since it came to be.
