S4 E4 - The Break-Up

THE GOOD

- Finn only spending 16 days in the army is iconic

zero would have been better but that’s still so funny

- the transition from Finn leaving to Kitty’s “hello boobless” is perfect

so funny, the comedic timing on this show doesn’t miss

- the left behind club is very chaotic

i kinda love it though. it’s hilarious (and comes out of nowhere)

- go Emma!!

don’t let Will Schuester tell you what to do

- BRITTANA FOREVER

this episode really shows how they are the best couple. everyone else is losing their goddamn minds, cheating and having zero communication skills and brittana is out here having a mature conversation about taking a break and singing emotional ballads to each other. they are perfect and this is why they are endgame

- Rachel had a great moment of self-actualization during her final fight with Finn

i love how she realizes that she can make her own decisions and that she doesn’t need Finn.

(this gif sums up so much of this episode)

- i’m honestly not sad about any of the break ups

i hate Kurt and Blaine’s relationship anyway, but they were also toxic. Finn and Rachel are holding each other back. Santana and Brittany need some time apart to grow back together. (also Santana needs to have her gay college experience)

THE BAD

- how the fuck did Blaine get to New York?

does he just have to money to take a last minute flight to New York on a Friday? (also school???)

- we can add misogyny to Mr. Schue’s list of crimes

he is never a good person, but the scene where he asks Emma to move with him really shows how shitty he is. this trash man can’t even treat the woman that he loves well. he expects her to just follow him around and do what he wants. good god.

- Grease is a terrible choice for the musical

i know it had to be done, but it’s so tired

THE MUSICAL

- Barely Breathing (6/10)

this number is mid. i like the concept and Blaine and Finn sound good separately, but the moments were they’re both singing sound bad. the choreography is boring. i’m also tired of split perspective New York and Lima songs. i want a big group number so bad and all they give me are mid duets

- Give Your Heart a Break (8/10)

this number is surprisingly good. Brody and Rachel sound really good together and the piano arrangement is a really nice change. Brody and Rachel have really good chemistry and it makes this number work really well. it is awkward that Finn is watching this.

- Teenage Dream (10/10)

this number is really good. Darren’s acting makes this work really well. the show has led up to this a lot but it does feel like a breaking point. i really liked it. i also love that they start their relationship with this song and end it. i love when writer’s do call backs like that. also Darren sings the hell out of this song. i think he is uniquely qualified to sing this and it works so well.

- Don’t Speak (8/10)

this number is alright. i’m glad that it was a faster song and not another acoustic cover. i need some variety. the song fit very well with the situation. the singing was good and everyone sounded good together. this number was nothing special though.

- Mine (10/10)

beautiful. let’s go lesbians. even lesbian break up songs are perfect. the use of taylor swift in this moment is masterful. Naya is truly the best person on this show. she is criminally underrated. (and it is so tragic that she is no longer with us) her singing is so beautiful. Naya and Heather’s acting is also amazing. they do such an amazing job and it’s what makes brittana truly perfect.

- The Scientist (10/10)

iconic number. this song is really perfect for this moment. it captures the feeling that all of their break-ups have. the singing is great with the exception of the Will and Emma sections, but i’m glad they kept those short. i even think Kurt sounds good which is rare for me. the simple blocking and lighting works really well and fits the drama of the scene. i also love the flashbacks to early moments in their relationships. this is the first really well done number in season 4.

OTHER

- Rachel being so happy and optimistic like she didn’t just cheat on Finn

- Kitty is so scary

i would be terrified to break up with her. i also forgot how religious and republican she is

- Finn and Rachel’s talk was weird

i’m glad they broke up though because Finn needs to figure himself out and Rachel is too good for him at the moment. he would only bring her down and he needs to figure out who he is without her
