There are two big issues in this episode — Artie and his dream to walk and Rachel’s dream of meeting her mother. Artie’s storyline really delved into the subject of disability and significantly follows last week’s episode which showed a quadriplegic. Will’s nemesis Bryan Ryan helped balance the episode with a lighter storyline.
When I heard Joss Whedon would be directing an episode of Glee, I was immediately excited. He is no stranger to directing musical shows given his previous experience of Buffy’s ‘Once More with Feeling’ and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. The subtle angles used, like Will and Ryan’s bar scene and the mall dance scene had me captive.

Lost for the Final Time
The wait is nearly over and soon the last episode of Lost will be aired.
Some have been billing it the television event of the year and further proof of how momentous it is, the episode will be simulcast over parts of the world when it's aired at the same time as the U.S. West Coast.
Sky1 in the UK, Fox Italia and Telecom Italia in Italy, Cuatro Spain, Fox Spain and Portugal, Digiturk Turkey, HOT Israel will broadcast the airing despite the time difference. While CTV Canada will broadcast the finale at the same time as the U.S. East Coast. Other international networks will air the finale in 24-48 of the broadcast.
It's hard to fathom the significance of this simulcast which is normally reserved for award shows and sport events. I do wonder if other shows that have a big international audience will get the same chance to broadcast their final episode.
One thing that has helped this show is the fact there was a clear time frame for when the show was to end. Heroes, which was also an international hit was recently cancelled. If a rumoured 2 hour movie does happen will NBC do the same?
Over the past six seasons I've enjoyed the unexplained elements of Lost. There are many things that I don't understand and I'm not sure I ever will. I believe there are questions that won't be answered in the finale. Regardless of this I've enjoyed the whole series from the smoke monster to polar bears, time jumping to flash forwards, backwards and sideways.
One day I'll sit down and watch all the episodes over again and I'm sure I'll discover things that I missed the first time. Until then I've got my snacks ready to enjoy the ride for one final time.

Review: Glee - Laryngitis (Series.nu)
Puck has shaved his Mohawk and like Samson, he’s lost his strength. I liked the way the opening scene was shot showing jaw dropping reactions and Brittany not recognizing him at all. Puck’s trademark was his Mohawk so I too was surprised to see it gone.
Puck’s popularity at the school has plummeted and now he’s the one being dumped into the school dumpster. He thinks the only way he can get his status back is to date a cheerleader so he sets his sights on Mercedes, who initially resists. Eventually, Mercedes begins dating him despite knowing what his ulterior motive is. Someone isn’t happy about this new couple and surprisingly it’s not Quinn. Despite people thinking that Quinn and Puck are a couple, we find out they aren’t even dating. Since Quinn left Finn’s home, she’s been living with Puck’s family. It’s taken a few episodes to get to this point and I do wonder why they’ve made it look like Puck and Quinn were dating.

Review: Glee - Home (Series.nu)
“Splits” magazine is going to interview Sue Sylvester and she wants members of the Cheerios to lose weight. She gives Mercedes the target of losing 10 lbs. in a week or risk being off the squad.
Finn’s mother Carole (Romy Rosemont) is selling items from the house, including things associated with his father. Finn stops her from selling the chair his father used to sit in and watch sports. She informs him that she’s been seeing Kurt’s father Burt (Mike O’Malley).
