It had the tunes, it had the colors, it had (arguably) the most dynamic city in the country as backdrop, but the Glee season finale was still just ... okay - a somewhat fitting end to a season that fell into mediocrity. Major screw ups (I'll let slide little things like how they managed to afford the Intercontinental in Times Sq ...): the Broadway-obsessed Rachel not knowing Cats closed years ago (or that it's been superseded by Phantom as the longest running show?)? the club not coming to NYC prepared and had to write songs and choreograph performances on the fly? w-t-f! If that's really the case, they deserved to lose. Basically, not many redeeming qualities about this one (not even a featured Mike Chang dance - what!?) other than Santana's tirade (epic win!) AAAaand ...
the hilarity of seeing Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe's gigantic super-smiley face in his "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" poster overpowering all the Times Square scenes (there were a lot). Gotta say, it's pretty funny (though oddly uplifting) seeing it everyday on my way to work, but to see it in HD starring down at all the gleekids almost made the ep. worth the hype. With the high billboard turnover rate in this area, props to the show for capturing this fantastic moment in time.
On the other hand, fingers crossed the show grows out of its sophomore slump (quality-wise, at least for the latter part of the season) before next season.
