Glee on the Rocks (5x03): The Quarterback
Manage episode 420182831 series 2367597
This week on Glee on the Rocks we're talking S5E3, "The Quarterback." When a television show intersects with real-life tragedy, the aftermath can be a delicate dance between the narrative and respect. "The Quarterback" serves as Glee's heartfelt tribute to Cory Monteith and his beloved character, Finn Hudson.
As we navigate through the episode, we discuss how Glee chose to honor Cory and Finn's memory on screen, because these songs are not just performances; they're eulogies, farewells, and love letters.
We also look at the decisions made by the writers. Was it too soon to return to production? How do you craft a narrative around such a profound absence? And how do you move forward without forgetting?
Join us to remember and celebrate our Quarterback.
Subscribers to Fandom on the Rocks will gain access to our bonus mini (and not so mini!) episodes, where we dive deeper into the behind the scenes of Glee, our days in the original fandom, and our other fandom interests. Subscribe today!
