Hey look it's an episode reaction post.
So, that was kind of lovely, wasn't it? I'm so charmed by this show, I can't even begin.
KURT. KURT KURT KURT KURT KURT. ILUUUU. <3 NEGL, I TEARED UP AT THE END. He is so precious and wonderful and I just, gah. GAH. I love how this episode showed that even when it's blindingly obvious to the world, coming out is really hard, you know? Like, he wasn't all "oh sweetie, couldn't you tell I love the peen by my fabulous clothes?" He's this teenager who's still coming to terms with himself as a person. I LOVE THIS SHOW AND ITS UNEXPECTED LAYERS.
But yeah, I've realised I love all snarky, unsure, heart-of-gold gay teenage boys in television. Marshall in the United States of Tara, Eric in Gossip Girl, and now Kurt. IN FACT, SOMEONE SHOULD WRITE KURT/ERIC. JUST BECAUSE. THE GLEE CLUB FINALS ARE IN NYC THIS YEAR AND LILY IS THERE FOR SOME REASON AND BRINGS ALONG THE KIDS. AND THEY MEET AT THE PARTY AND KURT IS ALL "OH HEY, THERE'S SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN. HOW CAN ONE PERSON BE SO FABULOUS?" AND THEN ERIC IS LIKE "OH THAT'S MY BIG SISTER. BOY DO I HAVE STORIES TO TELL YOU." AND THE REST IS HISTORY. See, perfection.
But yeah, I hope the writers don't go the route of GG and just be like "well, we've established that this character is gay and is having a hard time coming to terms with himself, so let's forget he exists, save for comic relief and the occasional mention of a love interest." But I doubt this will happen, because Glee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gossip Girl. (Although I do love me some Upper East Siders.)
OH HOW I ADORE WILL!!!!!!!!!! And hahahahha that whole storyline with the boy band was so so funny. Josh Groban! Haha, Sandy: "You don't know Josh Groban? KILL YOURSELF." Hahahahhaahahhahaha. Amazing. Also I'm growing to really like Ken, lol. And I'm not really feeling the Will/Emma that much, which is weird. I don't know, I have sympathy for Terri, which I really have no idea where it comes from. I can see her becoming a more layered character.
Ummm, what else. Rachel and Finn make my heart sing! When they look at each other, omg. The whole choir coach thing was TOTALLY RIPPED OFF FROM BRING IT ON, and didn't impress me, but the "YOU'RE FREAKISHLY TALL" thing did make me lol. Oh, and best line of the entire episode goes to Sandy and his mention of writing Desperate Housewives fanfiction to keep his creative outlet going. PURE GOLD.
I had more thoughts but I had some wine after work tonight and can't remember what else, haha. Basically: Oh this show. I am in love, and there have only been three episodes. THANK GOODNESS FOR SCRIPTED TELEVISION BEING BACK IN MY LIFE.
ETA: Omg Puck! Hahaha he is hilarious and I really hope we'll see more of him in the future. I mean, it's pretty much a given he's going to join Glee Club.
Okay, off to sleep for a couple of hours. Maybe 8? That would be nice.
