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.

YAAAAAY! :D

Ok, I remember the racism (relatives in prison, pinata, blah blah blah), the sexism (I don't want you to see me make a girl cry), and the cisgendernormativism (I didn't recognize you, you're wearing BOY clothes for once), but what was the homophobia? I must have missed it.

Sebastian is a douchebag.

I... need to get on skype. I only chat with Jude now on gmail chat, and I'm lonely.

Blaine is totally one of the Hummels.

I really could have done without about half of this episode though. (Go see my really long rant in Weeds' journal under yours.)

ME TOO ME TOO!!!! that was spectacular! i love that Burt loves Blaine so much!

re: seb...you forgot douchebag.

but i loved the rest of the warblers during B or W :)
shit, now just thinking about it, it would have been way more awesome if Niff and some of the Warblers had come to visit Blainers during 'Ben' rather than Finchel (except for Finn's presentation of the eyepatch movies...loved that!).

ps, if you haven't seen them, there are some hilarious blaine as a pirate doodles floating around

In 3.8. "Gayface" as an insult.

[likeasouffle.livejournal.com]

Ah, right!

I have decided I'm ok with Sebastian being the worst possible person he can while still being believable as someone who could exist in real life.

Also OMG THAT EPISODE WAS AWESOME! I'm so pleased. :D

You know Burt pretty much rides the carousel on problematic, up one week down the next, but THAT WAS. AWESOME. I may have seal-clapped.

I totally agree with both of these. I was so excited about this ep (seeing as it was supposed to be my last) and I felt really let down. I enjoyed Wanna be startin something and Scream (epic), and found Black and White rather cute. The rest I fast forwarded, either not interested or second-hand embarrassment. I've officially given up on watching whole eps :( And I can't even say I feel like rewatching the Klaine bits. What is the world coming from?

Burt probably considers to Blaine as his son-in-law in his mind; the boys are so married.

I don't like Sebastian per say, but I appreciate how straightforward he is as a villain. The writers ought to have him get punished for what he did; I was not satisfied with the lack of retribution, although I agree with Kurt for condoning violence. Only, the message it sends leaves me uncomfortable; I hope they fix this properly in the future episodes.

YES!


And.. lol.. Sebastian is so much fun as a villian :P

[dareu2beme.livejournal.com]

OH and don't forget that we learned that Blaine keeps glasses in his bedside table so that he and Kurt can drink fancy drinks before and/or after their sexy fun times.

Even yesterday, before the episode aired, I had higher hopes for Sebastian as a redeemable character (although I was by no means convinced the story line would end up there). But yesterday presented him as absolutely aware and absolutely in control of how hurtful he's being, with little capacity for remorse. I could be wrong. We shall see where it goes.

Yeah, episode rocked!

I'm on gmail, too. Wowbrightlj. Sometimes I watch the show live and sometimes watch it later. It's nice to chat the show; I have no RL friends who watch Glee. Even my mom, who introduced me to the show, has left it for NCIS (crime shows are her first priority always).

I saw your long rant and I approve. :)

I'll need to look for the doodles. Alas, I am afraid of Tumblr so it may be a while before I find them.

Re: douchebag. When I really want to insult someone, all the insults seem wanting. Like, I called him an ass, but asses on humans can be glorious, and asses the donkeys are adorable. And who did a douchebag - the literal, not metaphorical, kind - ever hurt? Meerkat is problematic, because I like meerkats. They eat scorpions, you know.

Thought it was weird that they didn't change "Ben" to "Blaine", but that probably had to do with the rights they could get to the song. I actually appreciated that it was Finchel in "Ben" - Finn needs to be making up for his earlier jerkiness toward Blaine, so I liked to see him making an effort.

I kind of like Burt riding the carousel on problematic. It's like a real parent does. :)

I was disappointed in Kurt for tsk-tsking Santana's desire to go down legal avenues with this. I hope he discussed it with Blaine, first. And that they have a second copy of that tape.

Kurt, despite being a cynic, seems to have faith that everyone has a sense of guilt and humility somewhere deep inside, and that these things can be played upon to bring people to goodness, or at least to shame over their wrongs. He has so far been right, but I'm not sure he is in this case, and it could be a very dangerous miscalculation he's making.

[wowbright.livejournal.com]

LOL. Who's going to be the first to reference it in their porn?

[wowbright.livejournal.com]

Well, at least it will enable you to make a cleaner break from Glee, right?

I thought the Kurt bits were strong, but the Klaine bits not so much. Someone else pointed out this morning, though, that whenever Glee puts a very strong focus on a couple's relationship week after week, it usually means that couple is headed for a train wreck. So I will stick to fic for more of my Klaine moments.

THE RACE IS ON!

I'm mimiheart9.

I rarely watch it live, I work Tuesday nights and get home about halfway through. (And certainly not in time for the east coast feed.) I'm just talking general chatting during the week. Actually, next week's ep I'm home for because Tuesday's classes have been cancelled and moved to Sunday.

[wowbright.livejournal.com]

P.S. Also, I thought you might appreciate that during "Smooth Criminal," I decided Sebastian is bi/pan (did you see the way he was checking out Santana?) and kept thinking "consensual anger sex." Just sayin'.

[likeasouffle.livejournal.com]

He was totally checking her out. That was the most overt hetero-erotic subtext between two queer characters I've ever seen. LOL. Either A) he likes girls, B) he was doing it to freak her out and put her off her game, or C) he's attracted to powerful people of all genders who threaten his position. I would be leaning toward B, but he kind of checked out the French teacher during Uptown Girl too. He totally likes girls.

[wowbright.livejournal.com]

I go for A, B and C. And now am starting to have thinky thoughts about Glee's presentation of bi/pansexuality.

[seanmegansean.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I don't even make sense lol Oh well, I blame my head cold.

You are totally right about the cleaner break that should be easier. Except I am me and completely irrational when it comes to Klaine, so as long as I think I can stand it (maybe the VD ep?) I'll watch the Klaine bits.

Someone else pointed out this morning, though, that whenever Glee puts a very strong focus on a couple's relationship week after week, it usually means that couple is headed for a train wreck. Good point. I'll try focusing on this then and hope they're not in for a break-up or serious trouble down the road ;)

Tell me more, tell me more! (Like, does he have a car?)

I've been thinking thinky thoughts about Artie being not entirely straight. Not just because that whole Scream video was all in his head and was awfully sexy. But also because of when they were trying out hip-thrusty dance moves and he said about Sam "I got light tingles where it's only fifty-fifty for tingling." And previously he called Dustin Goolsby "So handsome." And I could have sworn he had turned-on-face during Something's Coming. And there may be more I'm forgetting.
