YAYYY for a completely plot-and-character based episode that actually felt like classic Glee again!!
I did really love Grilled Cheesus in a lot of ways, but... this was Glee back to the basics, with no "special message" or tribute theme whatsoever, and it was lovely!
RACHEL, you are finally sweet and lovable again!! <3 Seriously, that was THE sweetest thing of her to reach out to Kurt like that. I love those moments where she stops being selfish and is actually one of the nicest, most perceptive characters there.
On the Kurt front:
I was REALLY nervous about how they started off the episode for him because if they were going to address the Finn crush thing again I wanted Kurt to be the one owning up to his part in it. But, you know, by the end... I got it. It
does seem incredibly lonely to be in the position he's in, and I think just the fact that he finally is starting to acknowledge and deal with that loneliness instead of distracting himself by throwing himself into crushes is a good step for him. I just can't wait for him to finally meet Blaine (even if he ends up ultimately being just a friend- just someone else Kurt can at least relate to and who can relate him) and be
happy! Poor boy needs some happiness in his life, stat.
Oh and also can I just say, I know Kurt had pushed it with Finn, but... that was pretty uncool of Finn to work so hard to convince Sam not to duet with Kurt. Yeah, Kurt was coming on a little strong again, but jeez, let Sam make up his own mind about it! It's one thing to talk to Kurt about it (once again it was harsh, but pretty justified), but to go out of the way to
make Sam feel more uncomfortable about it when he seemed to be alright with it at first was low to me.
Other things:
Quinn and Sam... meh. I mean Dianna and Chord have chemistry, but they look. like. siblings :| Plus it's just so boring, the whole jock/cheerleader thing. Heck, I don't even necessarily care at this point if Kurt and Sam end up together in the long run (though I still think it would be really cute), but I just want Sam to be gay because it would be
interesting! Besides, there needs to be more sweet, natural, every guy gay boy types portrayed in the mainstream media. Not that I have anything against Kurt types, but.. there IS a distinct lack of gay guys more like Sam in the media, and it would be very cool of Glee to go there.
Ummm what else?? Artie and Brittany was awkward.. haha. But I do have a
little bit of trouble feeling that bad for Artie when it was pretty obviously he knew where Brittany was going and went along with it willingly. I mean I get that realizing she was using him would have been hurtful, but... he never HAD to agree to having sex with her.
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
