It turns out, by episode’s end, that the most important entity in this universe is not the New Directions, but Rachel Berry. I still can’t believe that “Goodbye” didn’t end with the glee club in a group number. How could it not? It’s perhaps the easiest thing to check off a “series finale” to-do list. But instead, in an astounding lack of clarity by the writers, everything wrapped up with Rachel Berry, who, having postponed her dreams, was literally forced on a train to pursue her future. This is a show about misfits in Lima, and it ended in New York City with Rachel leading her own cliché musical number. Since when was this show The Rachel Berry Show? I love (some version of) Rachel, and I am 100% okay with considering her a main character - if not the main character. She is an emotional focal point, and there is little to argue there. However. This whole show is not her story alone. This story is about the New Directions. Marginalizing everyone else so that Rachel could have her big moment in New York City is beyond insulting. It’s a slap in the face, really.
