Trivia:

The line "We'll see you all after Regionals" is sung followed by a series hiatus. On the 21st of February 2012 Dan Harmon announced the return of the series via Twitter. This coincides with the air date for episode 3.14 (On My Way) of "Glee" (2009), in which the characters compete at regionals.

Quotes:

Cory Radison:Glee club is supposed to be gleeful and happy and fun! And you will do it right, or there's gonna be another bus crash! I mean, figuratively. I'm not saying I killed the glee club, I'm saying that if you don't listen to me, it's like you're literally cutting the fuel line on your own... Hey, look! Kings of Leon!

**vague spoilers** I guess I'm just *conditioned* to laugh at awesomeness.

This was excellent, and another jab at Glee, with SNL newbie Taran Killam as the Glee club instructor (or whatever) putting in a pretty good performance. His character turns on SNL have usually been pretty good, and this works, too.

Fans of the show and Doctor Who lovers/haters will love the Dr. Space Time bits, as Pudi whites up for the role, and Glover puts on a commendable accent for his assistant.

I know that this is slightly irrelevant, but I did want to say how much I loved Troy locking the blanket fort in the last episode.

Oh, and enjoy the coda, it's just silly enough.

Merry Dean/Chang-mas!
