Storyline

After undoing Sue's travel sabotage, the Glee Club arrives in New York. They still have to write original songs, but use inspiration as excuse to wander around first. Broadway is Kurt and Rachel's dream, so they wonder trough Manhattan. Will is found out tasting a solo part, but decides to stick to teaching. Although Fin dropped his girl-friend for her, Rachel decides to give her 'career' priority. That leads to him kissing her on stage, possibly the reason they don't make the final ten.

Trivia

The music playing over the first scene, in which Rachel stands in Times Square thrilled to be in New York City, is from George Gershwin's 1924 composition "Rhapsody in Blue." Although Gershwin wrote a great deal of classic Broadway music, this piece is more often performed by symphony orchestras; its association with New York City and Broadway instead comes from its use in the opening montage of New York scenes in Woody Allen's movie Manhattan.

The Finale

I love Glee but in season 2, they really dropped the ball. The story-lines, where horrible, with the exception of Duets and Rumors. Now New York is probably one of the worst episodes I've ever seen. In fact it's probably one of the worst Finales I've seen for a TV show. The plot mainly focused on Rachel and Finn, if you like those characters you will probably like this episode, but if you don't you will most likely hate it.This show would have been better as a Filler episode rather then a finale. I just hope season 3 is better, then this crap. This episode would have been better had they focused on the competition, rather then a relationship. I was hoping for something "Big" but that never happened. Also it was too predictable on what was going to happen.
