Thoughts on 2.16
Cut for length and spoilers.
Blaine seemed puzzled when Kurt talked about his many solos because if Blaine was in Kurt's shoes he couldn't imagine being jealous Kurt. Bless his heart, he is not Rachel or Kurt and is definitely not as competitive as they are. He just gets all the solos because the Warblers are his fanboys. I loved when Wes and the other Warblers started to exchange smiles when Blaine proposed a duet with Kurt for Regionals.
Blaine fell in love with Kurt at the absolutely perfect moment. He interrupts and takes over the Warblers meeting every inch the HBIC. He's grieving and is damn well going to sing about his emotions. Kurt's outfit is outrageous and perfectly him. (I love that Blaine started the backing vocals to Kurt during the song.) It's a great parallel to Teenage Dream that Blaine fell in love with Kurt when he was singing. I think the difference between DCFMA and Blackbird is that they became friends when Kurt was at a very low time in his life and during DCFMA Kurt was wounded and still recovering from McKinley. Now he's back and strong and totally himself and that's when Blaine realizes he's in love.
*happy sigh*
I totally believe Blaine practiced his speech to Kurt. He had to make sure he said the right things and he had to work up his nerve. And then he said the perfect thing.
The funeral scene was interesting. Blaine asks about his mother's funeral and at the end parallels Burt when he offers his hand to Kurt and they walk away. Kurt's really sad, though not over Pavarotti who has been dead for several days, but over their loss at Regionals. Because Kurt has a big competitive streak unlike Blaine and really wanted to win. Blaine makes a remark that getting together is better than a trophy and Kurt kind of agrees and they hold hands and walk off. I think this is the first sign of Kurt returning to New Directions, Kurt wishes his team had won and totally did in my book. Someone remarked that that comment was foreshadowing but I can't see that being more then an argument that lasts longer then half an episode. Even if Kurt transfers and Blaine stays, that doesn't prevent them from being boyfriends.
M-F- WARBLERS!
I laughed when it turned out that they are all Blaine's fanboys (I see what you did there RM).
Misery was great and I want to get a recording that includes the table pounding. Kurt and Blaine made Candles a great performance and Raise Your Glass absolutely rocked. The Warblers were totally into it.
I've heard some complaining in Glee Forum about the Warblers getting RYG. First, I doubt ND would have covered it after they made Loser Like Me their anthem because the two songs are pretty similar. Secondly this is a group of boys that go beyond a no-tolerance bullying policy to totally support and backup their gay lead singer when he wants to serenade a guy so he can get a date and when he want to duet with another guy for a competition song. It's great to see that, so they can sing what ever the hell they want.
Speculation and discussion of spoilers:
I wonder if that picture of Kurt and Blaine watching Sunshine perform is Kurt reminiscing over the good times he had with New Directions and sharing those times with Blaine. He could be wishing for the circumstances to be different so that he could be at McKinley. Because no way will Kurt transfer back before something changes at McKinley.
Calling it now - Kurt wins the New Directions MVP after Nationals. Hopefully after doing another duet with Blaine.
Puck has made interesting faces during both of the Warblers competition sets. Puck has been mentioned in a possible spoiler where Blaine is jealous over Kurt and Puck spending time together (I'm dubious), and in another possible spoiler where he has a bad reaction to Kurt and Blaine being together and Santana giving him a smack down (A little more likely, but I'm still skeptical). Still Puck wasn't given the gay education (by Burt) that Finn got last year, so I could see something happening here. Based on his previous actions if Puck did get some sense smacked into him, he would think about it, learn from, then show that he totally understands the lesson more than Finn.
