Finn's dad's urn is in their house, it was shown in his favorite chair in the episode Carol started dating Burt. In the case of military deaths the family has a choice to bury their loved one in a military cemetery or make their own arrangements. It's up to the family.
As for Melody, I felt a bit sorry for her at the end of this episode. Her treatment of Bay is childish but she was devastated when Emmett announced that he was leaving her too. After all, she said all that crap to Bay to keep Emmett from being taken from her but in the end, he left because of her over protectiveness. Losing a husband and a son all within a couple of months must be tough, although, if she had toned down her attitude towards Bay, Emmett might not have felt angry enough to leave.
I felt it was really unfair of Kathryn to blame Bay for what Daphne did. It was completely Daphne's idea and Bay shouldn't have to shoulder any of blame, even she's known as the rebel. What Daphne did was wrong and desperate. She should have listened to Bay, who knows her parents well enough to that Daphne's plan was a bad idea. Daphne never listens to Bay and its going to bite her in the ass, over and over again.
But Daphne did grow quite a lot in this episode, letting go of Emmett was really good of her. Wilkie may be an idiot sometimes but his easy going attitude might help Daphne relax a bit.
I don't like Angelo, there were better ways he could have come back into their lives, like John and Kathryn pointed out. I'm not surprised to find out that he's hiding something, I called it two episodes ago.
As for Regina, she needs to stop thinking with her lady-parts and start thinking about what's best for her and her daughters, which includes Bay. John, Kathyrn, and Toby have all be really accepting of Daphne but Regina's side has been extremely neglectful of Bay. Does Regina ever willing do anything with her? If it were up to her, the girls would never have known about the switch and at this point in their lives, its just not fair. Regina keeps throwing Angelo in Daphne's face when Daphne has clearly rejected the idea of him in her life. Regina should respect that, even if she doesn't agree with it.
That being said, I think Angelo has some financial dealings that might be shady. That hotel scene where he says his name is "Adam" on the credit card stuck out in my mind as strange. Also Regina's mom hates Angelo and she's pretty level headed, so I'm wondering what else happened that we don't know.Bay has done some things that weren't nice either but she's always the one coming to Daphne to apologize and make peace. Daphne is just angry all the time. Bay has been right on several counts about warning Daphne but she doesn't want to listen. She warned her about the poker, that goes awry but then Daphne is cool with Toby and Wilkie making fake IDs which can get them in soooo much more trouble than a suspension at school. She also tried to warn her about her father being pushy, Daphne took it as Bay trying to stop her from knowing him. Now Bay has warned her off of Simone, which clearly is turning out to be valid as well. Honestly, if I were Bay, I'd give up too.
Angelo left because he thought Regina was sleeping around on him and that she had knowingly forced him to raise another man's baby. Clearly that was the issue, not her being deaf, like Regina led Daphne to believe. He owed Daphne an apology but he never considered her his daughter, he always knew that she wasn't his and he couldn't shake that. Now he finds out that he has this daughter that was kept from him, so of course he wants to get to know her. She is his daughter. Its understandable why Daphne would be hurt but its mainly because she believes that he abandoned her because of her disability not because of the mistrust between Regina and Angelo.
Daphne is being a bit selfish though in this case. Bay didn't actually want her to break up with Liam, she was just venting. After all, how would you feel if you weren't even included on your own family photo? Instead she had been replaced, of course she lashed out at Daphne. Daphne has had PLENTY of time to get to know her birth parents meanwhile Regina is too busy worrying about Daphne that she has made little effort to bond with Bay.
I think that all the characters do things that we dont like, which is why I love this show. They are human. Sometimes we root for one character and other times we don't. I understand why Daphne would be so angry, but I see Bay's side too. She really likes Emmett but everyone saw him with Daphne. Everyone was shocked when they got together, calling him "Daphne's Emmett". The relationship between Daphne and Emmett was unhealthy on both sides. Like when Daphne get's in a jam she calls Emmett instead of dealing with it herself and Emmett never had to be friends with hearing people because he had Daphne when both hearing and deaf people shouldn't put those kinds of limitations on themselves. Because Bay is dating Emmett she actually has to take time to consider another person's feelings when often she can be insensitive.
I have to say, I really do find it funny with people that the show's name literally. It's clearly not meant that way. So often in society we see these women stand by their cheating, no-good husbands and often we wonder why. This is a show about that woman. She's the mother, she's the wife,the person that keeps everything together and often pays more dearly for her husband's mistakes than he does. This show is about letting us all know that these women are not weak but strong and also letting the wives know that its never too late to re-start that career. Anyways, with that off my chest, on to the questions!
Well, I think Chuck Lorre is taking both his prime time shows in bad directions. Two and a Half Men stinks, of all the replacements he could have chosen, he had to pick Aston Kutcher? Not only that but the writing has seriously gone down hill. The same goes for Big Bang Theory. The show feels tired. Sheldon's antics are becoming less and less amusing, Penny basically has no point anymore (which I think is a waste of talent in regards to Kaley Cocoa), Leonard is boring, and there's less nerdiness each week. I think this show has the potential to really be good again, but pandering to cheap humor is demeaning to it's audience. And I've already mentioned my issues with this week's episode, so I wont go there again.
Unknown, good for you for owning up. That can't be easy either and now you can teach your children to be empathic as well.
I 100% agree with the reviewer. Yes, its supposed to be comedy but it doesn't making it any less depressing to watch. Maybe Leonard doesn't ever get Jimmy to actually change but the least they could do was call Sheldon out for his verbal abuse. You can see the characters are sick of it and now would have been a good opportunity to address it. I re-watched the first season and Sheldon wasn't a warm, fluffy bunny but he always had his friend's back at least. He was less vicious and more condescending, now he's just an asshole. I don't know why the guys put up with him other than they feel like they have no choice.
Penny grated on my nerves this time around. Even her last minute attack of guilt didn't do anything for me. She basically spent the entire episode in self pity because she felt bad for hurting people. You can't apologize for making fun of someone's stutter in highschool only to hang up the phone and make a crack at it again. If she had actually done some soul searching in this ep, I might have feel differently. Instead she only came off as shallow.
Bully is serious. I hate to burst everyone's comedy bubble but it's a real problem out there. And its not just the kids either but that's where it starts. I might be more inclined to be more understanding of BBT take on bully if kids weren't committing suicide over it.
Penny rarely leaves the her apartment these days, unless its accompanied by Amy or Bernadette. She could hardly be classified as a tramp. Maybe she was sexual when the show first started but she's really not now.
My advice to people watching this show, it's very much about sex. If you're uncomfortable with that, don't watch a show created by Chuck Lorre. You know, the guy who also created Two and a Half Men? Seriously, the slut award goes to Charlie Harper. No one else comes close.
I agree that the change of scenery has been good for GG. Last season was oppressively dark, we all know they're going to be back in New York soon but before that, might as well have some fun. I loved the dynamic where Serena was promoting Nate as some kind of Hollywood-It-Boy, she would be the one to know all about marketing yourself. But not another cougar! The "Duchess" was bad enough.
Chuck has been tied in his father's business too much lately, it's not really a relate able story to the viewers, unless Donald Trump is watching. On the other hand, I'm apprehensive, they have yet to do a successful Chuck-Bass-by-himself storyline.
I'm hoping Dan took some time to make actual friends over the summer, not people who blackmail him or steal novels. Also, his dad doesn't count. He's pining after Blair but that makes little sense after his weird, semi-courtship of Charlie/Ivy.
Blair, what a train wreck of a good character. She's 20. Why is she caught up in worries that a 30 year old would shudder at? This marriage thing is dumb. I hope the producers get that soon. Just because Kate and Will's wedding was popular doesn't mean it'll translate to GG.
I am glad to see the focus brought back to its core characters. Blair, Serena, Chuck, Nate, and Dan. Those are the interesting ones.
There was Penny/Leonard and now a one night stand with Raj...
Otherwise the couples have all been the same...Bernadette with Howard...Raj with no one...Sheldon and his quasi gf Amy.
That's really not everyone sleeping with everyone, considering that it's a tv show heavily involving sex...It's really not that poly amorous. The only other cross over was Leslie Winkler and her character was established as very sexual.
Raj and Penny wont be a couple. They were lonely. They were drunk. And they had the world's most awkward morning after. But I think it causes such a ripple in the group. Except for the Penny/Priya thing they we're all getting along way to perfectly. The lack of drama this season has made things seriously stale. I think this has trashed the Penny/Leonard relationship, finally. It needed to end. Exes shouldn't pretend to date for a camera, it comes off really weak. Can we have something happen in Penny's life that doesn't include an ex?
Otherwise, I LOVED THIS EP. Best of the season. We actually got to see Bernadette and Howard as a couple, instead of just pieces every now and then. If I were Raj I would have punched Leonard in the face by now, what kind of friend has noisy/creepy Star Trek sex with his bro's sister...In his bed? Although now Raj has had sex with Penny in Leonard's bed...So wash on that one. I loved Leonard's convo with his Priya's parents, particularly the ending of it. I loved Penny and Raj getting caught on their walk of shame. Sheldon's confusion. The general chaos that was this finale. I know people are bitter that it wasn't like the previous seasons but you guys were complaining that it was "always just the guys, so boring". Now you're upset that they're including more characters and interactions? I personally love the addition of the girls...except Priya...She's such a weasel...Lying to people, sleeping with her brother's friend in his bed, getting very controlling over Leonard. I. Don't. Enjoy. Her presence. She needs to go. Which she will. Excellent.
I can't wait for the next season.
Also...Chuck Lorre has ALWAYS made poop jokes, jerking off jests, and really graphic sexual innuendos...Before BBT...Remember he created Two and Half Men...
I disagree, I think Alicia did try. And how many times did she give up what she wanted to make her family happy? If her husband and kids had it their way, she'd be the stay at home mom she was before. Peter thinks he owns her. He made that very clear during that final scene outside the elevator. Alicia's entire perspective changed when she learned the truth about her marriage. But she didn't want to hurt her kids. She was a loyal wife and helped him get elected. She was willing to forgive him because she thought she knew the entire truth. She though he'd stop lying to her. But she asked straight out if there had been something between him and Kalinda, they both lied to her face. Her trust for their marriage couldn't take anymore. Alicia has been humiliated, cheated on, lied to repeatedly, tricked, and bullied into supporting Peter. But she's the slut? She's the one that didn't try? Peter is not a changed man. Yes, sending that evidence worked out for her but it could has just as easily blown up in LG's faces! It also took Glen Childs down a notch further, which is good for his career. Speaking of which, Alicia would go against Peter in court. Which wouldn't work out well if Peter was aiming for Governor and needed his wife at his side. Whose career would have to be sacrificed? Probably Alicia's. I don't get how Alicia is the whore for finally having a night with a man she's loved for years and years, after she told her husband that their marriage was over? They're not even under the same roof anymore! Their children know that they're not together but Alicia doesn't want the press to stalk her family. Hence why she doesn't make it official. Alicia had the decency to tell Peter she didn't want to be with him anymore before moving on. Peter never showed her any kind of respect. But society blames the women when marriages fail and it's ridiculous. I also resent being told I don't have morals. Marriage is a beautiful between two people that love and respect either. You can't love someone but not respect them. Peter didn't respect Alicia and he didn't respect his marriage. He broke his vows and lied to her. Alicia is prisoner to his career and ambition. She has right break free. Yes, I know this only a t.v but it speaks about real life issues.
Nora's great, I like her but I still think it's going to be Barney and Robin. Robin and Barney are always sitting beside each other, in every flash back and every scene. It's just a lot of set up to lead to no where. They did mention that things weren't over with that shirt guy for Robin, so I'm wondering how this will play out.
I was hoping it would be Barney and Robin's wedding but now it looks like it will be :D It can't be Nora. First of all, Nora wasn't there during the Meatball scene, which took place years and years into the future. If there's one thing I've learned from watching this show is that they plan everything out before hand. They have to. Also, Barney said he had already met the "right" girl, he was talking about Robin. They wouldn't bother setting this up if Robin and Barney weren't going to get back together. I think they're showing that most of the time couples shouldn't get back together but sometimes they can.
I loved the "psych" moment. But I still don't think that Ted's going to marry a blonde women, that scene with Stella as the mother had the kids blonde. That probably means he married a brunette. Why else would he assume that marrying a blonde woman equals blonde kids?
I was NOT expecting Lily to be pregnant. I should have guessed but I didn't, I was waiting for Marshall to throw up in his suitcase. I'm so happy that they're going to be parents! Yay.
I disagree with you, respectfully. Finn has already come to terms with his dad's death when his mom started dating Burt Hummel. What he got out of the ceremony was that you have to live life and do what makes you happy. Besides, if you don't love someone you should let them go. Otherwise you're living a lie. Loyalty is important but when you tell someone you love them every night, it should be because you do, not because you have to say that.
As for Terry and Will, Will was right to dump her. Terry lied to Will about being pregnant for months and months. She also used it to manipulating him into buying a house they couldn't afford. She made him work two jobs while she shopped their money away at Pottery Barn, constantly made him feel like crap for coaching the Glee Club when it made him happy, and she refused to support him when he tried singing in the Acafellas. Terry was going to have Will raise his students' baby, without him knowing about it. Think about how wrong that is for a moment. Emma encouraged Will to teach Glee Club because it made him happy. Money isn't everything. I would rather my parents to be happy in life on a moderate income then be rich and miserable. Will and Emma had feelings for each but they never acted on it until Will was divorced. Emma should never have been with Ken, that was wrong of her but she thought was she was going to end up alone. Now Terry's basically stalking Will. She made things right last episode but it doesn't mean that Will should go back to her. Especially since she was just fixing what she did in the first place.
Some of what Jesse said was right. I think that the New Directions have been getting a bit full of themselves lately. Satanna doesn't have the best voice although Naya Rivera has been working hard to change that and I really respect her hard work. Mercedes (not Amber, she must work hard too to be on this show and she's amazing) has her voice come naturally and is lazy about it. Meanwhile Rachel works harder then everyone else, although she didn't have any choreography she was clearly the best performance and that's due to Lea Michele's amazing ability to sing with her emotions. Jesse's right that everyone should adopt a better work ethic to beat Vocal Adrenaline. He's a pain in the ass but New Directions really hasn't done much to prepare except whine about themselves. I too want to see them do more with their performances...I loved the their Regional preformance and want to see them kick it into high gear for New York.
But as for Jesse and Rachel. I vote no on that. Rachel doesn't need Jesse to make her a star, she can do that on her own. And I still remember that creepy kiss he gave her last season while his coach/Rachel's bio mom was watching.
Good for Finn for FINALLY breaking up with Quinn. He owed her that much. He doesn't love her. Clearly he cares about her but he shouldn't be with her when his feelings lie elsewhere. Besides Quinn is sooooo obsessed with being the perfect Prom King and Queen that it's almost Fetal Attraction scary. I mean her last line about "ruining her plans" was frightening. I've said it before and Ill say it again, Quinn needs to either redeem herself or be mean all the time. She's acting crazy! It's like she's bi polar. Actually that would explain a lot. You can't blame her mood swings on pregnancy this season.
(Btw this was not an insult to people suffering from Bi Polar, properly treated it is a very manageable condition.)
As for Sue. I loved her this episodes. At first I thought she was a bit flat but then we saw how angry she was and it made sense. When she finally broke down at the funeral, it was heart wrenching. I think Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison make a great team.
Some people think Will was cruel for turning Becky down but I dont blame him. I understand that its tough to live with Down syndrome in high school but she can't just walk into the Glee Club so close to the end of the year. What should of happened was Becky's parents should have gone to Figgins about kicking Becky off so cruelly.But luckily Sue re considered and made Becky captain. Becky works hard on the Cheerios and deserves it...Although Quinn isn't going to be happy about that...Oh well. Being pretty doesn't mean you should automatically get what you want.
I liked this episode, the performances were fantastic. The writing was actually well done. I loved the emotional scenes and the Quinn/Finn break up was amazing. Cory Monteith and Dianna Argon did a great job.
I don't consider Alicia cheating. She's married legally but she let Peter know it was over. Her kids know as well but she's not ready to tell the world yet. Her hesitation over the divorce is the tough position Peter's career has put her in. She cares about him, she moved him to a new apartment and paid his rent...which is more than most people would have done. She doesn't want to ruin his career, she doesn't want to fight. She knows the moment they officially divorce is the moment Peter loses his chance at Governor. And her kids will have to suffer through another invasion by the press. But the relationship is over. Peter knows that too. Hence the conversation with Will. Alicia is separated from her husband. She's only in a marriage on paper. She should be allowed to do whatever she wants.
Why do they destroy such rare emotional scenes by cramming them in between dumb plot lines?!!!
The Thorpe plot was dumb. It didn't make sense and there was no Oh My God moments. The whole, Blair's in danger thing was very disappointing. Bad soap opera.
The Bar Mitzvah (pardon my spelling its late) was cute but odd...Is someone on the writing staff Jewish? I did love Blair and Chuck enjoying time together.
Bullshit on the Blair and Louis thing. He's cardboard with a bad accent and a nice chin. NEXT. Blair and Chuck shouldn't be together but at least give us something back in return.
I actually liked Serena's Hollywood plot. It made sense to me. I don't know if people even read Fitzgerald anymore but the books are fairly short and Serena could relate to his main heroines. She is practically Daisy Buchanan (wrong book I know, but Mia Farrow popped into my head). Also, it's been established that Serena leads a charmed life. Landing an amazing job by just standing on a beach is what she does best.
As for the pregnancy thing...It was the only thing on the finale that made me go...Oh. My. God. A Chair baby on the horizon? Ok, if Im going to invest time into this show they'd better deliver (haha accidental pun) a baby that sticks around. Not like Milo, not like Anastasia. I dont think it's Serena's test. I dont think it's Eleanor's either. I know she has another kid in the book but a lot of things happened in the show that were never in the series. Chair for instance. Also in the books Blair has a younger brother. Aaron Rose was in love with Blair, not Serena. Also he has dreadlocks and lives with Blair's family for a while. Eric is a straight college boy that parties a lot. Chuck has a monkey. Dan smokes and the grand love affair with Serena doesn't even make it through an entire book, mainly because he creeps her out. Vanessa is bald and chubby. Jenny has double D breasts. Blair actually get's into Yale. Nate sails off after high school. Chuck's mother isn't even dead in the books, her name's not Evelyn but Misty. Bart doesn't die either. Actually Chuck is never redeemed in the books at all. Serena's dad never abandoned her in the series but still lives with them. Lily and Rufus never dated. Rufus' doesn't own a gallery but runs an urban magazine. And hates everything UES. The Humphreys' dont live in Brooklyn but the Upper West Side... I could go on and on. Basically, same characters very different stories.

Bullshit on the Blair and Louis thing. He's cardboard with a bad accent and a nice chin. NEXT. Blair and Chuck shouldn't be together but at least give us something back in return.
I actually liked Serena's Hollywood plot. It made sense to me. I don't know if people even read Fitzgerald anymore but the books are fairly short and Serena could relate to his main heroines. She is practically Daisy Buchanan (wrong book I know, but Mia Farrow popped into my head). Also, it's been established that Serena leads a charmed life. Landing an amazing job by just standing on a beach is what she does best.
As for the pregnancy thing...It was the only thing on the finale that made me go...Oh. My. God. A Chair baby on the horizon? Ok, if Im going to invest time into this show they'd better deliver (haha accidental pun) a baby that sticks around. Not like Milo, not like Anastasia. I dont think it's Serena's test. I dont think it's Eleanor's either. I know she has another kid in the book but a lot of things happened in the show that were never in the series. Chair for instance. Also in the books Blair has a younger brother. Aaron Rose was in love with Blair, not Serena. Also he has dreadlocks and lives with Blair's family for a while. Eric is a straight college boy that parties a lot. Chuck has a monkey. Dan smokes and the grand love affair with Serena doesn't even make it through an entire book, mainly because he creeps her out. Vanessa is bald and chubby. Jenny has double D breasts. Blair actually get's into Yale. Nate sails off after high school. Chuck's mother isn't even dead in the books, her name's not Evelyn but Misty. Bart doesn't die either. Actually Chuck is never redeemed in the books at all. Serena's dad never abandoned her in the series but still lives with them. Lily and Rufus never dated. Rufus' doesn't own a gallery but runs an urban magazine. And hates everything UES. The Humphreys' dont live in Brooklyn but the Upper West Side... I could go on and on. Basically, same characters very different stories.
