my dad also died when I was a baby and I never knew him so this episode always got me, especially cause I was only 11 at the time it aired. i know kurt and finn (mostly kurt) are being selfish but they are kids and as someone who has been in the exact scenario of finn, wanting my mom to find happiness and having to battle my own discomfort with someone new in her life, I totally understand their issues. on a lighter note finn saying he was going to go throw his dad's ashes in the toilet always got a chuckle out of me and my sister when we were kids and still today

2024-10-06 19:01:29 +0000 UTCYour vulnerability and sharing with us is something I truly admire about you. We may not know personally, but we all care about you. I hope that you can find your light, and that things behind the scenes look up. My own mental health has been in the shitter for a little while now, and I hope that my ability to find that joy in things finds it's way back to me. Sending love.

2024-10-04 06:26:48 +0000 UTCThis rewatch brings me so much joy! It’s been 2 years since I’ve seen the show and watching it on this platform with people to share the experience with has been so much fun! I never really had a community where o could watch glee and express opinions, thoughts, etc. so this has been a dream! As far as the episode goes, I think it’s underrated. Very well done storytelling and the music is great! The 2nd April and Will duet is a top 5 mashup for me and so forgotten about! And the Kurt solo (Finn barely sings, he’s more of a featured singer) does sound beautiful. That whole Kurt and Finn thing is interesting because Kurt wasn’t perfect in it, and if Finn acted that way to a girl, it would be seen differently. There’s more to come, not the next episode, but the one after it I believe. Side note: I LOVE that we get that dynamic between Finn and Burt but I really wish we got a similar thing, or anything really, from Carole and Kurt. Because Kurt actually knew his mom, he has memories of her and despite him introducing them, it would actually affect him as they got more serious. Fun facts: (1) This is the first episode where Rachel does not sing and only talks for those 2 lines at the end. (2) I believe it’s the first time we see Brittana’s pinky hold as well.

2024-10-04 06:14:51 +0000 UTCBig hugs! It may seem silly, because we’ve never met and do t know each other, but I do sincerely appreciate what you do here, Audrey. It brings me joy to share these things I love with someone who loves them too. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because I feel, all too often, we do get caught up in the small things and forget that we have so much to be thankful for and happy about. There’s a lot of pain and suffering in this world. So many have it worse off than we do. This episode made me feel connected with others, which is a wonderful thing.

2024-10-04 03:39:46 +0000 UTCIt’s so funny how things work out. I was just talking with a customer at the very end of my shift before crawling in bed and hitting play on this. I was explaining a specific complicated billing process on his account and he said at first he was a little lost as i was explaining it but he decided to trust that I knew what I was talking about and let me continue and that by the end he completely understood He said that he was glad that he waited for me to completely explain because instead of focusing on just one tiny aspect that he was confused about he waited until he had the full picture and then it made complete sense. Then we started talking about how shifting your perspective can make all the difference, just like you were saying. That instead of focusing on one tiny thing that might not be perfect or that could possibly go wrong and focusing on all the things are are great and wonderful things that are actually happening. I work with so many angry and sad customers that it could be easy to let them consume my own emotions but then I get great customers like this one and the super adorable lesbian couple right before him that were newly engaged and couldn’t stop calling each other ‘my fiancé’ that stick with me instead. They are the ones that but a smile on my face long after I clock out for the day. I I hope that maybe I do the same for them.

2024-10-03 21:06:01 +0000 UTCThank you as always for doing these watch parties and we all love you so much for brightening our days. I may not comment a lot but you bring such light and positivity to every video you make for us just by being you and I hope you always know that there will be brighter days ahead when you have these days that feel crappy. It's ok to not feel okay and it is human and sharing these hard times with us makes us feel like it's okay and we're not alone too. As always I can't wait for next week :)

2024-10-03 21:00:20 +0000 UTCI was crying before Mercedes started singing because I knew what was coming. That song always has hit me so hard, like so many other people who have heard it. Most of us at one point or another have felt dumb, ugly, fat, not good enough etc at one point or another. It's funny, I'm always the first to rush to correct someone else when I hear them talking about themselves like that. Yet, I never do the same for myself. I'm so ready to defend and try to help someone else struggling but often feel helpless to help myself through similar things. Which maybe is why I'm so protective, especially of those younger than me, because I want to be the person I've always needed myself. Sorry that you have been struggling with a lot of things. I have as well. I hope we can all be here for each other in whatever capacity that may be. I'm the same as you. A singular thing that can bring me down and then I focus on that so much that I can't think about anything else. Then I feel so guilty for feeling that way when I know there's other people out there struggling with things that are so much bigger. I know I'm allowed to feel that way. But, I'll still feel guilty for focusing on that and not all the other things I'm fortunate enough to have that others don't. My life isn't perfect and there's a lot of things I want to change or wish were different. But, at the end of the day I have a home to live in, the food I need, enough money to get by, friends and a loving family. When so many other people can't say the same. I'm trying to train my mind to focus more on that and remind myself of those things when I find myself spiraling. I hope we can all help each othe to do the same.

2024-10-03 20:26:36 +0000 UTCWe love you Audrey! It's okay not to be okay. And yes, it's important to be grateful for the good things but it's also okay to be sad and angry about the bad things. I haven't had much to be grateful for, especially the last 5 years or so, and it's ironic that it touches on the subject of this episode: Home. I was forced to leave my home and was basically homeless (not on the streets but still). The circumstances were messy and too complicated to get into here but it's been so hard for me. My mental and physical health just keep deteriorating every year. I've struggled with depression, anxiety, self harm & suicidal thoughts/attempts and just haven't been able to find joy in life at all. Your videos and this beautiful community is one of the things that keep me going. So thank you for that ❤ To the episode, Kurt pissed me off so much1 (Finn a little bit too, even though he seemed to come around). He only pushed them together because he wanted to get closer to Finn. I get him feeling left out but his dad has been so understanding and also they don't have to like all the same things. I'm a straight woman and I don't give a shit about sports, but my dad does so we never bonded through that (though we didn't bond over much but that's beside the point). I get Finn too but it's been a LONG time and like Carole AND Burt said, he's not trying to replace his dad, and Carole is not trying to replace Kurt's mum. Romy Rosemont again being an absolutely brilliant actress in that scene with her and Finn. Anyway, I forgot how much Kristin sings in this episode. So many amazing and underrated performances, especially Will and April's second duet and the last song. I LOVE seeing this side of Quinn, and it gives a new perspective knowing what we know about her past (don't know if you remember). They also hinted at Santana having an eating disorder a few times throughout the show, for example in this episode. I guess Kurt was just waiting to turn until they joined in but I assume they planned a different song. With a bit of TV magic they just seemed to pick up on it very quickly 😆

I love watching your videos and have been since your first glee videos. Also my girlfriend always says you can feel for whatever is bothering you but don’t let yourself sit in it forever. I hope you have a better day :)
