The most exciting moment of this episode for me ...

[wowbright]

... was when Kurt found out he was a finalist for NYADA and Burt said "Who's gonna tell Blaine? Let me do it!"

If your dad thinks about your boyfriend as quickly as you do when you get good news; if your dad is as excited as you are to share it - well, your boyfriend is part of the family. My headcanon about Blaine and the Hummels is canon.

The second most exciting moment of the episode for me was when I got to Skype to anxioussquirrel that Sebastian is "sexist, racist, homophobic, and cisgendernormative." He's not just asinine; he's a total ass.

I know this is late with regards to this post, but I just read it and it makes me happy regardless. Also, I prefer to think of Sebastian when his characterization fit (like in this ep) as opposed to his complete turn around last week. So much whiplash...

I ♥ Burt.

I'm willing to see where they go with Sebastian. It wouldn't be completely unbelievable to me that this hit him so hard that he changes. (He may be enough of an ass that a serious injury wouldn't make him reconsider his life path, but a near-death that he didn't do anything to prevent may.) It also wouldn't be unbelievable if the guilt produces only a temporary change in his ethics, and then he slips back into his bad habits.

Even when I get character whiplash, I tend to adjust after a few episodes to whatever the writers want to present. My personality changed drastically multiple times when I was a teenager, so when that happens to the kids in Glee, it eventually strikes me as believable.

Burt is pretty much AMAZING.

As for Sebastian, I think if the writers go the right way with his character it might work, but the complete turn around (even with Karofsky) just threw me. I agree with you about the change being temporary though, and I think that would be more believable, too.

I'm still working on the character whiplash, mostly with Karofsky... That being said though, at least Kurt and Blaine are still talking/together (even if the writers won't let us see that).

Hope all is well with you!

Yes, Blaine making monster faces at Kurt and the two of them swinging their hands together toward the end of this week's episode made me so happy.

Me too! And now I'm debating if I should be sad that I'm happy with so little interaction, or if I should see it as them being so stable and confident in their relationship that we can get by with so little interaction...Regardless, those two scenes were great.

crown-of-weeds observed in one of her blog entries that when Glee focuses a lot on a given couple, it's usually because they're headed for disaster. Ever since then, I have been pretty happy with how much Klaine is on the screen :)
