I don't watch Glee, but I happened to catch the last couple minutes when I was flipping around (plus my FB feed/GBCN boards were blowing up about it so I sort of wanted to see it).
Did it bug anyone else that, immediately after the episode ended and they had the 1982-2013 dedication, they showed the picture of the iTunes episode available for purchase? Really rubbed me the wrong way.

No, because they had also shown that proceeds from downloads of that episode's music were going to benefit one of the charities that Cory worked closely with.

Ah, OK, I didn't see that part. That's good to know.
This was the episode I was dreading but I had to watch, from beginning to end.
I was on the verge of tears, seeing the photo of Finn/Corey following the opening number.
Then with Kurt saying he would miss him for the rest of his life - my throat seems constricted all of a sudden. And yes, I agree with how Kurt said what did it matter how he died because it was only one moment in his life.
Puck's anger and not knowing what do himself now that his best friend is gone.
Finn's mom, Kurt, and Kurt's dad...the sheer raw emotions they displayed and obviously so very tragically real. The breathtaking grief Finn's mom showed...OMG...she broke my heart. It was full on sob fest from that point on.
Rachel - how hard that must have been for her to stand there and sing.
And Mr. Schue at the end, holding Finn's jacket, sobbing in Emma's arms.
There were no hopeful messages, no Hallmark card "the sun'll come out tomorrow" platitudes - just immense, painful, gut-wrenching sorrow.
I read that almost all of the scenes, singing included, were done in one take, and I can absolutely believe it.
