Glee - All or Nothing

It's finally regionals and its the season finale, and crazy things happen on season finales. So, let's get to it.
The episode starts off with Brittany having a meeting with, I'm guessing, professors at MIT. They basically tell her she's a genius and compare her to Albert Einstein. Crazy right. I thought the whole thing was a dream but I was wrong. She started acting weird and made crazy demands because she got early acceptance and has to leave ASAP. Santana was the only one that could  talk some sense into her. So Brittany is graduating and going to college and she's super smart now. Wow. 
So, the next big and crazy thing was Ryder. He is still obsessed with finding out who the catfisher is. This leads him to demanding to see people's phones and yelling and kicking things. Marley, of all people, confesses to being the catfisher. But why would she do it? Ryder asked her that very question and she couldn't answer because it wasn't her! She was covering for Wade/Unique. I'm not surprised it was him. Ryder got all pissed off and is basically cutting all ties off with the glee club. After regionals, he's leaving. I guess we saw that coming since he only got 7 episodes but I was really hoping that he wold get asked to stay. But, he's leaving and who knows if he'll come back. 
So it's time for regionals, which by some stroke of luck is held in McKinley's auditorium! The club sang some very nice songs. I liked the original song much better than all the rest. As for the other song, sadly, I didn't really know them so I must start listening to the radio more often. The New Directions go on to win 1st place and are heading to nationals. After the show everyone is super excited and all of a sudden Emma comes in with a pastor and says she wants to marry Will right then and there! So, after a long, long wait, they finally get married! Which leads me to Blaine.
Blaine is still on this wedding thing with Kurt so he went ring shopping and there he met this old lady who just happened to be a lesbian. She and her girlfriend take Blaine and Kurt out to Breadsticks and talk about a bunch of things and the girls end up getting engaged! Now, we know that Blaine bought a ring because the last thing was saw was him holding it behind his back but he didn't do anything with it. I really hope that he doesn't propose. Kurt may still always love Blaine but he seems like he's over their relationship. Plus he is too young and hasn't explored anything out of Lima, OH. Give him a few years in New York and see if he still feels the same way. 
That's basically it. Except Rachel went to her callback but we have no idea if she got the role or not. And what will happen if she does? Will she quit NYADA? And what about Finn? So many questions.
Overall, I have to say that this episode was a little weird. Apparently they filmed alternate ending. I just wonder what the other ones were. I was anticipating more of a cliffhanger but oh well.
Overall this season was great. It took some time to get used to all the changes but it all worked out. Now we wait and see what happens in season 5.

Glee - Wonder-ful

It's Stevie Wonder week! Everything seems to be on the up and up with everyone this week. The Will and Emma wedding is back on (again), people are getting into college (Tina, Arty), Brittany is visiting a college (wow), and some of the old New Directions are back to help out with regionals prep. This time the preparations weren't interrupted by blackouts and bad news. Mercedes and Mike are back to help and Kurt came back because his dad has a follow up check up to see if he still has cancer or not. Now, I must have missed or just forgotten that whole 'Kurt's dad has cancer' episode because I was all shocked when they mentioned it last night. But anyways, Kurt has gone all OCD until (hopefully until) he finds out if his dad is okay or not. Luckily his dad went into remission and is okay. Now we can all hope and pray that Kurt's OCD actions are over. Also, Blaine is still totally in love with Kurt and what does he do but ask Kurt's dad for Kurt's hand in marriage!! Oh no!! Why on Earth would he think that's a good idea?! Kurt's dad seems to agree with me and has a serious conversation with Blaine about it. (Thank goodness) It almost doesn't sink in but when Blaine tries to propose he can't do it. Good, maybe this will be the couple that waits.
Everyone knows that Mercedes has a record deal, and she's also back to shoot a music video but things don't go as planned. She mentions that things started going south with her producer when he wanted her to show more skin at a photo shoot but she refused. Now he's giving her the ultimatum: a new photo shoot with more skin or no music video. So she had a chose to make and good thing she made the right one and dropped that guy. 
Now Arty got accepted into a film school in New York but, according to him, his mother (Katey Sagal) doesn't want him to go. After Kitty does some serious meddling we find out that it's Arty who is really the one afraid to go. But, his mother talks some sense into him and he decides to follow his dreams. 
The last big thing that happens in this episode is with Rachel. She, as we know, is preparing for her Funny Girl audition but Cassandra July doesn't make it easy for her. She tells Rachel tat it's okay for her to go to the call back but is forcing her to take her midterm all early. But it's all a scam! What Rachel thought was her midterm was actually a celebration good job and good luck party dance number type thing. Cassandra was actually being nice (which is unnatural) but she tried to play it off with the whole "it's tradition" excuse. Rachel thanked her for being such a meanie and Cassandra admitted that she actually thinks Rachel is good and that's why she was so mean. Oh so touching. 
Now overall this episode was okay. As for the songs, no one can do Stevie but Stevie himself. They tried but ... My favorite song was 'Higher Ground' sung by Mercedes. I'm upset that they sang 'For Once In My Life' only because I feel like that song is over sung by so many people and I'm tired of hearing it. The only other song that I like was 'Superstitious.' That's all that happened in this episode. Next week it's finally regionals and it's the season finale which means something crazy is bound to happen. Until then!
