Today we are spotlighting the most exciting events showcased in the epic 2-hour premiere episode of the final season of GLEE.
Homecoming You've come a long way, baby. Unexpected, nearly instant adulation resulting from the pilot premiere was soon followed by a vociferous fan base quickly forming to herald and champion the first full season of the series, GLEE began big - and sank nearly as precipitously. The ratings behemoth that commanded 12 million viewers for its second season slowed to entertaining a mere third of that number as the fifth season came to a close, signaling the make-it or break-it moment for the groundbreaking, genre-smashing FOX musical dramedy. That moment arrived tonight via the two-hour premiere of a brand new season, which was announced late last year as being the last - and, at only 13 episodes as opposed to the 22-episode order of previous seasons, a relatively limited time in which to wrap it all up. And, there is a heck of a lot to wrap up - and so very many choices in ribbons, bows, wrapping paper and gift accoutrement with which to do so. Beginning with an acid-black depiction of the Hollywood fame machine as experienced by new TV star Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) - torn business cards, bitchy publicists, Carrot Top (no, really) and a revolving door of network execs included - the apt and obvious allusions to the real-life plight of GLEE was amply addressed from the get-go - to impacting effect. "Epic flameout," says it all.
