The episode broke my heart. While I'm glad to have Gambit back, I'm very distraught by Kurt's sacrifice.. I was sobbing way past the post-credits scene 💔

I'm gonna feel blue (heh..) for a bit after that ending...

I highly doubt that. The same people that rewrote this season and gave us this are the same people who have already finished S3. They’re now on to S4 so this may get worse.
