Big-time. I love the show. I watch it every week, and I download the songs. I've watched a few episodes more than once, and I know I'll rewatch every episode before the new season starts in the fall.
That's why last Tuesday was so bittersweet for me. The season finale was everything I'd hoped it would be (and more) but it was still the end of a wonderful season.
Watching the last song come to an end, I reflected on the characters and how they've developed over the course of the season. There's Quinn, the new mother (who had quite possibly the shortest labor in the history of humankind, but hey, that's TV), who gave her baby up for adoption by Shelby (that lucky baby is going to be raised by IDINA MENZEL). Puck, who seems just as stupid as ever, but realizes he really does care for Quinn. Kurt, who has come to terms with his homosexuality, and whose father is kick-ass about accepting it. Mercedes, who I actually am liking less than I used to (I really did not like her at all in the Funk episode; I felt that she was being generally ridiculous, and her capitulation at the end was unrealistic), but who showed that she is still an excellent singer during the Journey performance. Tina and Artie, whose relationship makes me SO HAPPY. Rachel, who I still don't like, and Finn, who loves her (though I can't understand why). Mr. Shue, who finally confessed his love to Emma, but she's dating John Stamos the dentist now! And best of all, Sue. I've loved watching her develop all season, and the speech she gave at the end of the episode was probably my favorite part of the show yet. She may have grown a heart, but she's still good ol' Sue. And that's why we love her.
At the end of the day, it was a perfect evening, spent with the perfect people, watching the perfect end to a perfect first season.
I'll take it.
