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

... 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.

Everything you said. I'm starting to feel like we should co-write episode reactions because you say things I don't think about at first and then I think of something else - but I guess that's what we kind of end up doing anyway :)

It's clear that Rachel and Finn are doing this for all the wrong reasons. In a few years, it might be for the right reasons, but not now. The other couples you mention, I would consider.

I was very much a late bloomer, relationship-wise, so it's hard for me to imagine being in either the good proposal situation or the bad proposal situation in high school. And the only person I knew who got engaged in high school did so because she was pregnant, and then she broke it off. Also, my parents would have been very unhappy with any of us children if we had gotten married that young - that was clearly outlined for us, that we should put ourselves and our education/careers first and relationships second until we were at least out of college. So that's the narrow background I come to this question with. It is good to get other points of view.
