Cranberry March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 This thread is for live reactions as the finale episodes air. It will be open on Friday, March 20 starting at 8pm ET and continuing until the west coast airing is complete (I will post a link here to the first west coast post so that people can jump right to it and avoid spoilers if they wish). Outside of that period, this thread will be locked, so please take your discussion to the episode discussion thread. Thanks, and have fun! EDIT: Any west coast viewers who want to discuss live can start right here, at the top of page 5.

Hana Chan March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I like how they're backfilling the Kurt/Burt relationship. That while they loved one another, it wasn't a particularly close relationship. Burt tolerated Kurt's interests but was trying to push him into a more "normal" mold. And Kurt afraid to reveal his sexuality because he thought his father would stop loving him. And it shows just how far they've come. Rachel's hypercompetitive is not something that I'm looking forward to getting back into. She really is clueless in how to deal with people. And Will pegs Kurt as gay at his audition. We get all those nice complements about his abilities, but that gay label is there and that means no solos or leads for him. Kurt had the deck stacked against him from the very start. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23803-2009-dreams-come-true-finale-liveblog-thread/#findComment-948954
CleoCaesar March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I'm unspoiled and just realized that "2009" refers to the first season. I'm guessing the whole episode is going to be what we're seeing? Ugh. God.

FrumiusManxome March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Burt feels out of character, but you're right Hana Chan. The expansion on their relationship actually makes a lot of sense. Idk, it just feels a little too much like Burt won't be okay with Kurt being gay, especially with his conversation with Emma. And this isn't supposed to be AU (at least to my knowledge) so it feels like he's too...abrasive? I guess is the correct word. I am loving Rachel. God, Lea Michele is so good at being season 1 her. It reminds me how much I loved Rachel when she wasn't being completely horrible to other people. Her whole super serious in your face attitude did not bother me as long as she wasn't being like blatantly terrible - like sending Sunshine to the crack house bad.

Hana Chan March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I see Rachel in her old pattern of trying to manage the competition. First by undermining Kurt's fragile confidence (because he did easily match her in Popular) and then Mercedes by trying to box her in as an R&B singer. And then she wonders why no one likes her.

Hana Chan March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 So Will needs to recruit a male lead for the choir? When he's got two perfectly capable guys in the group already, both of whom are amazing singers? But then he pegged Kurt as gay and Artie needs ramps so obviously neither of them can be a lead singer. This is the kind of stuff that makes me really dislike him. And we've got the pattern set of Rachel getting what she wants because she can demand it and have people comply.
