Lets talk. There is a lot to say and for once it's not all good.
Tonight's episode Special Education was this years Sectional's episode, and like last year drama unfolds. And is it me or is the drama always about sex? Ryan Murphy are you trying to use metaphor's? There has been a lot of judgement on this season saying that it's not as good as last year-and in some ways i agree and in other i disagree. Was last years Sectional's episode better then this years? YES like 100% better. Now to be fair, depending on who you ship (Finnchel, Quick, Fabrevans) depends on how you see the episode. I am a Finnchel lover always, they are the core couple of the show. That being said i did not hate Quinn and Sam singing (I've) Had the Time of My Life-although i really do not like the song and his voice did not suit it-they were unbelievably cute. But was it me or was anyone else completely heartbroken to see Sam and Quinn come out like Rachel and Finn? That move is specifically made for them-i felt dupted.
Now the real heartbreaking in this episode goes to...the writers! Here's the issue- Santana telling Rachel about her and Finn-really that was very Santana like. My problem lies in the way they writers choose to portray Rachel. They say the show is about bringing misfits together, to a place where they all feel they belong. Well when are you going to make Rachel feel like she belongs? Her little attitude about doing solo's is getting old, her acting like a child every time Mr. Schue take's something away from her-also getting old. She is clearly the most mature one in the group and yet they have her acting like a child-it's really sad and upsetting. What's not upsetting Kurt and Rachel having a friendship-it is beyond cute and something they both needed to embrace a long time ago. What's even better is them singing together. We saw it in episode 4 with Happy Day's which is by far the most amazing performance-and now with Don't Cry for Me Argentina-i admit the song is kind of dreadful-but it fits both of them perfectly. And anytime Lea Michele sings and i get chills you know she's doing something right.
Now the biggest issue of this episode is that last scene with Finn and Rachel. Firstly he is in the wrong-it absolutely matters that he slept with Santana and lied about it-and did he NOT learn anything from last years Sectionals. Admittly Rachel hooking up with Puck-dick move and completely beneath her, and she is wrong and Finn should be mad. However comparing it to last years Puck/Quinn/Finn mess was wrong-cause it's still all on him. This upset me the most in the whole episode-Finn is constantly making mistakes and never paying for them-but when Rachel makes a mistake she gets outcasted by everyone in Glee including Mr. Schue. I really do love this show with everything i am-but sometimes the writes need to remember who is in the wrong-and its Finn.
The last performance of Dog Day's Are Over was great-i love the song and i love what they did with it. They kept each character as they are no fancy foot work, no costume-just them having a good time on stage.
Highlight Scene: Rachel yelling at Finn "You said you'd never break up with me!" my heart break's always for Rachel and Lea Michele nails it everytime.
Highlight Character: Puck-for being awesome with everyone! Especially saying No to Rachel
Overall 2.5/5 it's so hard to love everything about this episode when there is so much wrong with it.
