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 was initially disappointed that Blaine didn't come out as bi in BIOTA or afterward, or at least that we weren't privy to more of his struggle around his orientation. I probably would have had a heart attack if he'd dated Rachel for more than one-and-a-half episodes, though, because I was heavily OTPing him and Kurt. Ultimately, I understand why they did what they did, though.

They can make up for it by having Artie date a guy now :)

I don't think they'll make it obvious that Seb's not 100% gay, but I could be wrong. It'll just be between you and me - and our fanfic.

I think that Brittany is supposed to have a cognitive disability. There are things I've noticed and things other people have noticed to say she's not just a "ditzy blonde" character. The actress has said something to the effect (which I can't find now). In 3.10, Sue asked Artie why he could date Brittany but not Becky (could be reading too much into that, but I don't think so). And crown_of_weeds pointed out that in yesterday's episode, she didn't know how to lock the door, and kids in Special Ed are often explicitly NOT taught how to lock doors and forbidden from doing so - even bathroom doors - if they know how. crown_of_weeds has a lot more on this topic if you're interested.

But I also think that Brittany did think it was cheating, but accepted Santana's explanation for why it wasn't because it was emotionally easier. When they have that conversation, Santana says it's not cheating so quickly that they must have had this conversation several times before.

Up until that point, I thought that Artie had known about her and Santana and it was a poly relationship (with Santana and Artie being metamours, not amours). I was kind of disappointed to find out it wasn't.

I had no idea. That's really interesting. I pretty much assume everything Brittany says is a joke, so it's nice to think some things might actually be thought through and have some meaning.

THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. I like this idea.

SO MUCH AGREEMENT.
