Trivia

Rachel speculates that Kurt is a contralto or mezzo-soprano. However, this would be an informal designation; those voice types are classically defined as female, and Kurt would be called a countertenor, the highest male voice type.

i liked

I got teary eyed remembering from season one and how they showed Cory. It was lovely bringing back the viewer to when the rivalries started. Mercedes's choir friend was right. Competing with Rachel kept her on her toes and they all became friends despite being a loser or a jock. it brought them closer together and even at odds, they still respected each other. Puck and Finn got slushied, just because the joined. they learned how to be better from the support and put aside differences. It would be nice if real students/ high schools could learn a lesson from the show. I did not have clubs in my high school besides sports, I would have loved to have the support the characters have through each other.
