User Reviews

Awful.

I thought it was a joke. I watched the six seasons of Glee, I'm probably not their biggest fan. But yeah, this ep is just stupid and horrible. I mean, I did not even know if it was the characters or the actors talking about their characters during this ep. As the rest of this last season, this episode gave me the impression the show runners decided to f*ck the logic. Becky said that: "I don't even know why, but hurting kids with a burned-down school is my moral limit!". I am soooo sure it was the actress at this moment.

Sue gave us the perfect summary of this episode: "You know what this is? This is a character assassination."
