Best Line: “Everyone wants to talk about how he died… but who cares?” said GLEE’s Kurt regarding the death of his brother, Finn and, by extension, the controversial passing of portrayer Cory Monteith. “One moment in his whole life. I care more about how he lived.”
Biggest Cop-Out: Despite being better equipped than most shows to reach a young audience with a powerful message, GLEE took the easy way out by never directly addressing how Finn died. They could have used the death of the character and his portrayer as exactly the kind of teaching moment they’ve become known for over the years.

Earliest Pick-up: The CW ordered additional episodes of THE ORIGINALS and TOMORROW PEOPLE without waiting to see the second-week numbers, as well as the yet-to-even-debut REIGN.
Saddest Gossip: Was the animosity between GLEE creator Ryan Murphy and former star Diana Aragon the reason she wasn’t invited to take part in the show’s tribute to the late Cory Monteith… or was it a scheduling conflict? One seems a whole lot more believable than the other, and it’s not the nicer of the two.
