wowbrightGlee is forgiven for every stupid thing it has done this season.
And now, my thoughts in completely random order:
OMG, Blaine boxes!!!!!! Holy fuck! This has been my headcanon for a while; in fact, I've been working on a story about it, and holy fuck, IT'S CANON!!!!!!! And shit, I had a throwaway reference to Blaine's boxing hobby in Falling Is Like This, but I threw it away because I was like, "Wait, that might just confuse people, since I just mention it like it's a fact but it's not on the show and I haven't finished and posted my big-ass story about Blaine and boxing yet." Fuck, maybe I should go back and put that throwaway reference back in. Fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!!! (Yeah, when I'm beside myself, I kind of swear a lot. The swearing started as rebellion against my WASPy upbringing, and then I learned that it felt good in and of itself, and now when anything good happens, I just launch into cursing like a fucking bastard whore of a pirate.)
Blaine angry!!!!! It's about fucking time!!!!!!!!!! And pretending he's punching Finn's face!
Kurt's disappointed face when he realizes that Blaine is totally against the stripper-dancing that Sam wants to teach everyone. Priceless!
Kurt telling off Sebastian! I fucking love you Kurt!!!!!!
Camera focusing on Sebastian smiling in the audience? Eh, you better not be trying to convince me that he's got a real genuine crush on Blainers. Maybe he was smiling because ...
OH MY GOD! KURT'S VOICE!!!!!! FUCKING I LOVE IT WHEN THEY LET HIM SING IN A LOWER REGISTER!!!!!!! They needed to give him more lines in ABC, that's my only complaint. On the other hand, maybe that's a good thing. Because if he had sung the whole song or even half the song, well, my head might have exploded. I swear, that man could remove my clothes with the power of his voice alone. (And if anyone wants to write a sexy, slightly supernatural fic about Kurt removing Blaine's clothing with the power of his growly tenor notes alone, by all means, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEZ DO! And let me know so I can roll around in it for, like, EVER.)
Samcedes! Apparently some people don't like that combo - I have no idea why. Hopefully they will prefer Samcedes to Mercedes and that footballer player dude who really isn't good for her, as witnessed by his encouraging of bad-attitude-Mercedes earlier this season. (I am all for people having bad attitudes, but not if they start to ruin their own lives with said bad attitudes, which is what Mercedes has been doing. IMHO. She could have been Maria, for fuck's sake! With fucking awesome Blaine Anderson!)
"Hold on to Sixteen?" I'd rather not. But it's an awesome song (and, um I always kind of got the sense that it was about people being wistful about their youth, when maybe they should grow up and learn to love adulthood); too bad they didn't sing it
Scene with Sam's parents: A little out of context and where did that come from, and oh my gosh right before that, they showed Rachel and Finn and Sam all outdoors in the daytime when it was SUNNY, and how often does that happen unless its in the McKinley parking lot? But even though it was all so weird for Glee and I kept waiting for it to bother me, it didn't.
ALL THE SONGS!!!! I am so glad I was unspoiled for the songs of this episode. I freaking almost had a meltdown (the good kind) during the Jackson medley. "ABC"? See above comments about Kurt removing my clothes. "Control"? I don't remember Janet singing it so well. "Man in the Mirror"? THEY MADE ME CRY. I already love that song, but shit, not usually to the point of CREYZ CREYZ CREYZ. Seriously, I think they might have been better than Michael Jackson. The only thing missing was a Kurt solo moment.
First song and last song of the episode - never heard them before, now want to hear them over and over and over.
Troubletones "Survive" mash-up - awesome! I only know the Gloria Gaynor one - I think I might actually like the one I was unfamiliar with better. But their choreography? Distracting. The only time where it really felt like they had it together was when they danced in pairs - they should have done more of that. Girls doing ballroom dancing together isn't that risque, is it?
Just about died when the Unitards launched into Evita. Wanted to be sitting with Kurt and Rachel right then.
Finn fucking grows up!!! Yeah, next episode he'll be back to being a big doofus, but hey!
Never thought I'd be so excited for Sugar Motta to be in the New Directions. But after all her awesomeness in last week's episode, I am so so so looking forward to more of her this season.
Oh, and I almost forgot - Kurt's back to dressing hot. Yay! All his outfits were awesome, especially those knee britches with the newsboy hat! OK, and the black ensemble with white scarf during red cup. And everything. Sebastian just needs to open his eyes and realize he will. never. be. as. sexy. as. Kurt.
Okay. There's my thoughts. What are yours?
(Caveat: I am TOTALLY UNSPOILED for anything happening next week or, really, at any future point in Glee. So please, NO SPOILERS, not even mentioning an actor who might pop up or a song they might sing or an outfit Kurt's going to wear. Thanks!)

Date: 2011-12-09 07:52 pm (UTC)I'm looking forward to more Sugar, but not more Sebastian. Especially because his smile looked so wholesome/genuine/unskanky when he was watching the performances. I was like, "No, they can't be turning him into a complex character that we might develop slight sympathy for!"
