Hope you don't mind some lurker commenting here? :) But YES, I agree with everything and thank you, because I've been trying to figure out why it is that I found what Blaine did kind of... weird.
I've missed Brad's writing so much. <3 He seems to be the only one that can actually write Blaine well. (Ryan writes him okay, but goes a little overboard on some things, and Ian just needs to be slapped sometimes.)
The Klaine in this episode might not have been what people were expecting, but the scene with Blaine and Burt...god, that was just perfect. That's probably the most insight we've gotten into Blaine's character since back in Never Been Kissed, and I wouldn't have traded that for anything.
Blaine overstepped, yes, and because of all the things you said, yes. Also because he himself had to go LOOK for this information, he had no one to tell him this, to hold his hand/listen to his questions. BUT, he knows that Kurt has Burt and if Blaine can convince Burt to have this talk then Kurt will have someone and oh my heart. This says so much about Blaine, not just about how he feels about Kurt but it says a lot about himself as well. *hugs Blaine*
But didn't you know? Wanting Kurt to have better than his own personal experience means Blaine is purely projecting and is being cruel and heartless? Or something. Fuck this fandom sometimes.
Cruel and heartless? For putting himself out there (something we know its hard for Blaine to do in this way) and trying to convince Burt to have a talk with Kurt so he doesn't end up having bad sexual experiences or taken advantage on. Yeah, truly the intentions of an evil manipulator.

Mostly here to say that you're brilliant, and I agree with everything you've said. The rest is just rambling.
I was truly shocked by how well they handled Brittana. After Duets, I refused to get my hopes up even a little and then they throw this at us. It's so heartfelt and honest and, even though it broke my heart now, I'm certain that Brittany and Santana will get together and, while this might be a little premature, I think they're endgame.
The fact that Blaine told Burt about his own issues struck me as very significant. He could have just been the dapper mentor, but instead he showed a very vulnerable side of himself, even though there was no need to do so. And there's no doubt in my mind that he loves Kurt - he thinks of him in the superlative (the most moral, compassionate person he's ever met). It's so sweet.
Kurt's issues with sex also struck me as a great way to organicaly delay Kurt and Blaine's inevitable hook-up, especially when contrasted with Blaine's romance fail.
