Based on previous heated debates, we (moderators) have decided to list some guidelines and rules that need to be followed on all episode discussions here.
1. Do not bash any of the cast members or writers. Discussion should be about characters. Substituting an actors name for a character when discussing the character is not okay. They're not the same person. Respectfully critiquing someone's performance or a writer's contribution is fine, however, bashing and being rude about them is not. Offensive nicknames for the writers and cast-members are also not to be used here. This is against Fan Forum policy and is an insult to real people.

2. Feel free to visit the general discussion threads or the previous episode discussion threads here to continue talking about episodes that have already aired.

3. Be respectful to each other, moderators, and to every fandom despite your personal beliefs. Previous episode discussions presented us with problems and we'd like to prevent this from happening. We encourage a good debate, but let's keep it respectful. Personal attacks are not needed, nor allowed here. Targeting another poster on who they support or why their argument is invalid is also unnecessary. Please refer back to Fan Forum's rules regarding this. No matter who you support or ship, we are all fans and people, too.

4. This is a Glee Appreciation board. And as such, it is great to critique, debate and interact respectfully with the fans. But we cannot emphasize enough that calling the show, its cast and crew, etc. 'racist', 'homophobic' or 'sexist' is extremely offensive and will not be tolerated. This board isn't the place for these remarks. Please take it off site or keep it to yourself.
Thank you, everyone!

Happy Hunger Games Glee Discussion!

I could feel the hole that Finn left throughout the episode. It was just not complete without him. All of the DSB stuff/video for Mr. Schuester/etc. My feels.

BRITTANY GRADUATED

BRITTANA CLIMBED THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN

PEZBERRY MADE UP

me during majority of the episode.

All the songs were good I'll give them that. April randomly disappears, seeing her and Holly in the teachers lounge made me miss when we had adults actually part of the show on a normal basis. I really wish we could've gotten Holly Holiday as the ND instructor, she is always so refreshing to me.

Santanas storyline was useless in the end, I don't buy that she would quit the show, she totally would do a few runs before moving on to bigger and non broadway things.

Dont Stop Believing performance was very fun, though side eyeing them not giving Mercedes a line. And hopefully this is the official retirement of the song but I have feeling we will be hearing it again next season.

This really should've served as Glees series finale.

It was nice of them to give the newbies their own scene, I feel bad for the actors, but at least they collected an easy paycheck.

That graduating class though.....um can you say TINY? There were way to many people there for the amount of seniors that graduated.

Brittana is back on so woot woot to that, though they totally ignored that Santana and Dani kind of never broke up but it was to be expected, they were a couple for all of 2.5 seconds.

Yes.

I must admit I'm a bit confused as to why exactly this wasn't the series finale? (Other than Fox has a hole in the schedule for next year and they wanted the show to come back)

It's written and shot as a series finale, it gave a final encore to all the characters except to the absent Finn, and the final scene just screams "Series Finale", heck, Will Schuster even bows before exiting the empty room...

I wonder exactly what the producers have in mind for the "real" series finale. 'Cause it can't possibly top this, can it?

Urgh Dianna, why you bring me back? please be done with this crap now.

- PQ was cute and all but I wish Quinn could have shared at least one scene with somebody else, even Berry would have been fine.
- Lol Rachel and Santana, could be the most forced thing on the show.
- Also it was bad enough that Santana was stuck with Berry and Kurt, but now she must deal with Plain, Sam and Artie? Uy.
- Biff would obvs. be a douche but I wish Quinn would have gotten a better smackdown than just grabbing his nose
- Keep Holding On was cute but it should just have been the originals tbh, and perhaps Sam. The rest had no business there
- Missed oportunity for having Santana not mentioning her hook up with Quinn in the last choir room scene. Boo
- Unholy trinity > The rest
Bye bye New directions
