Glee: Good Night, Sweet Prince

Yes, I know I haven’t recapped a Glee episode since pretty much the first season. But after Cory Monteith’s death, I knew I had to recap this episode.

Before we continue, let’s get this out of the way first: They do not reveal how Finn died. It’s not important as this episode is not about how Finn died, but how the people around Finn grieve and find the strength to go on. Yes, it may not give some fans closure in regards to the character of Finn but it was a choice the producers made. Some people thought they should’ve killed Finn the same way Cory died and I’m glad they didn’t. While Finn’s father became an addict, it wouldn’t have been true to the character to make Finn one either. And if Glee had chosen this episode to be the “drugs are bad, m’kay?” episode, I would’ve been mad. When Glee gets preachy, it gets very heavy-handed in my opinion.

Anyway, on with the show…

Please Don’t Leave…

Last week on “The Glee Project”: Theatricality! And who better to help them then a guest judge with a Tony Award. Idina Menzel, who played Shelby on the show, judged a performance of “Bad Romance” and chose Alex to be the winner. He got a starring role in the video “We’re Not Gonna Take It”. Ellis had difficulty with the choreography and her attitude, fought with Lindsay and subsequently landed in the bottom three. She was joined by McKynleigh and Matheus. However, despite McKynleigh being told Ryan didn’t know how to write for her, Ellis’ attitude led to her being cut. Ten Gleekabes remain, who will go home tonight?

Glee!
