I don't know if everybody got the reference in the end when Rachel was looking up to the sky. On the episode 9 from season 3, Finn gave a star with his name to Rachel on Christmas and said if she ever feel lonely just all she has to do is look up to the sky and no matter where he is, he will always be there for her. This subtle reference to this scene is very beautiful and even more beautiful and strong after what happened to him.

At least Chord is a great role model, not like Cory, but still Edit: I wrote this the wrong way, I meant it as “at least chord is a great role model, not in the same way Cory was TOO, but still at least chord was there to do the part “. I never meant it as “Cory is not a great role model” or “unlike Cory who wasn’t as great as Sam” (and that’s ridiculous anyways, we all knew Cory was the top dog). I realized how wrong I wrote it, was rushed most likely

I don't know why many people didn't like s5. I think it was amazing. Not as good as the first 3 seasons but i still love it so much! Seeing all of them together in New York was so fun. I just wish Finn had been a part of it :') I miss glee.

This to me is the real ending. I honestly think season 6 shouldn't even exist, but this here? Lea/Rachel looking up to the sky, thinking about Cory/Finn (he literally bought her a star) and then looking directly at us? This was a masterpiece and everyone who says this show was bad is just really close-minded. He was her person. She was his star.

[@wren2406]

this episode should've been the last, with somehow having Sam taking over the glee club, Rachel having a successful TV career, Blaine and Kurt happy, Brittany and Santana happy, even Mercedes and Sam together but have Mercedes be in L.A and famous. somehow have that the last episode. season 6 was really rushed i feel and some of the plots were just strange imo

[@trevonte3723]

I agree, the finale episode of this series felt really rushed It kinda left me wanting more. I wish we would’ve see what the others (Santana, Britney, quinn, puck etc) were up to as well during the time jump. There could’ve been more .

[@mo.o.o]

To me it's S5 that completely sucks, most of the storylines are abandoned and don't make any sense, characters are totally ruined. If anything, S6 made up for that because first we got the wedding episode, and also because Glee embraced its awkwardness, it came back to the satire it had in S1, and also it's kinda nice to see that Glee club was not ending after all, even if the original characters moved on. That being said, the show pretty much sucks after S3, this is when it should have ended.

[@wren2406]

@@mo.o.o i totally agree. it should've ended after season 3 but i think if they tied up season 5 nicely and actually did it properly they wouldn't have needed season 6 to fix want they did wrong

[@mo.o.o]

@@wren2406 yes I guess you have a point. The second half of the 5th season was the worst of the worst, maybe they should have indeed use that better.

[@emeliasversion]

remember the second to last episode in the 3rd season, where they finally win nationals? I wish that was the last actual episode, but then we had 1 final episode placed 10 years later where tina and mike are together and married, same with blaine and kurt, and santana and brittany. then we wouldn’t have the stupid storylines of the other seasons. and everyone had their dreams come true, and they ALL could’ve sung this song, looking back on their past. i think THAT would’ve been PERFECT!

[@altuzarraok]

Rachel leaving Funny Girl just when she was getting used to it was the dumbest storyline ever. They told us over 4 years or so that her dream was Broadway. She gets there, and then she quits?

[@eunice8404]

Yeah may not be beautiful but more realistic. In real life many people has this moment they suddenly doubt what they have been chasing after all their lives. Even not if more so after achieving it. Also it is so Rachel to always want more

[@AnaLu07]

I agree with you. I do not understand this storyline.

[@DittoAPokemon]

Essentially, they were scrambling to finish the show after losing Cory. What Rachel describes about coming back to Lima and saying I’m home to Finn? That was supposed to be the final scene of the series. After he died they wanted to recenter the show on Lima to end it, so they had to find a way to get Rachel out of New York and back to Lima.

[@smithsunleashed]

yeah but its realistic in a way. she does a horrible TV show and then she gets back to where she is and goes back to complete nyada again

[@amr21106]

I always felt that her leaving Broadway for the TV show was in part an underlying way of grieving Finn. He always wanted to go to LA and maybe she felt she needed a change. Maybe achieving her Broadway dream wasn't the same without knowing Finn was supporting her.
