The Televangelist: ‘Glee’ Season 1 Finale
Sue chooses not to smash Glee Club to bits because, like the Joker with Batman, she doesn’t want to get rid of an enemy that’s just too much darn fun.
Last night’s “Glee” season finale (the second Season One finale, technically) reminded of something Landry Clark said to Billy Riggins on the latest episode of “Friday Night Lights.” While the boys were drinking beer on the football field, Billy wanted to talk about the State Championship from three years ago. “Remember? Remember?” He implored. Landry replied, deadpan, “Billy, seriously, you want to reminisce about a game that only took place three years ago?”
That’s how “Journey” felt to me - one big cuddle fest where everyone says “hey remember the time ...?” and then cries. Rather than compare it to a state championship, it seems more aptly parallel with the last day of camp. You know, where all the misfits somehow, out of the confines of school, found friends and had a wonderful experience together. Then suddenly the summer is over, and it’s time to go back to that other, dimmer world.
