this was really really insightful, and not just because fail!Shue is my expectation. I liked that David Martinez and Holly Holliday and Emma Pillsbury (as well as Sue, briefly) were all in Kurt's mind as he looked back on all the ways Will Shuester could have been not a jerk to him, and I still feel really disjointed about how Shannon Beiste was the one who delivered the blow with regard to Kurt's Tony audition because it seems so out of character for her. He's right, he has all these other people who have done right by him, Will can be the beacon for others who are less singular.
