Oh, Prom....
I went into this episode with a little trepidation. I never went to my prom and it seems Glee has a way of bringing out things I had long forgotten and moved past. I was pretty much Mercedes in this episode. Only without the happy ending...
Let's do the rest of this list style.
Very glad it was Kurt that asked Blaine. And also very interested in hearing more of Blaine's history. It does seem the bullying was perhaps more severe than we were first lead to believe.
The Jesse development is quite interesting. I don't mind it so much, really. While his storyline ended, the story itself never really felt finished to me. I'm glad to see him back, trying to fix things with Rachel.
Kurt making his own prom kilt/suit is awesome. You go, Kurt Hummel! I was happy to see Burt bring up the issue with his chosen outfit. I knew Kurt would wear it anyway, but it was something that needed to be said, I think. And it looks like Blaine is settling in nicely with Kurt's family. Yay! Can we get some more Burt & Blaine next season, please? :-)
Artie made me cry. The first time. His voice is gorgeous and that song & performance were very sweet. I am also proud of Brittany for still saying no, though. She's really come along these last couple eps and it's kinda nice to see a girl being all, "I'm going to prom stag. What of it?" That's awesome. And it does leave the window open for a possible Brittana reconciliation. Especially after their last scene together. *fingers crossed*
Dave made me cry the second time. I like, hate him and feel bad for him all that same time. It's so confusing!! But that little scene with Kurt in the hall was fantastic. He wants to come out. You can tell he does, but there's still something just holding him back. I want to know what that is!!
Kurt made me cry the third time. His face! It was just... I don't even know. Seriously, if Chris Colfer doesn't win (or even get nominated) this year, something is seriously wrong. And BRAVO for getting back in there and claiming that crown. They want to call you a queen? Then dammit, be the best & biggest fucking queen you can. *sassy snaps*
Blaine's song and dancing? AWESOME! Please do this on tour, Darren. Please? :-) (Which, ugh, I have thoughts and concerns about the tour that I need to put down in writing and hopefully have someone assuage them.)
Point of contention - Quinn & Finn can almost kiss and cuddle on the dance floor. Jesse can start eating Rachel's neck and all we get of Kurt & Blaine are a couple shots of them holding hands and a bit of dancing? No hug even or anything in comfort after Kurt's little breakdown? Really? Come one! Give us something please! It's like, are they a couple or not?? Grr...
I think that's all. The next two weeks should be verrrrrrrrrrry interesting.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}

Date: 2011-05-11 02:51 am (UTC)I'd have loved at least a hug, even several hugs. Especially after Blaine pulled Kurt to his feet. That would have been an excellent moment for a hug (even a soft kiss).

Date: 2011-05-11 11:00 am (UTC)He was so cute all the way through the episode which was what made the Prom Queen announcement such a punch in the gut. (I mean, it wasn't much of a surprise, but having Kurt's happiness whisked away was so painful.)
I really loved all the Kurt scenes, and I adore how comfortable Blaine is with Finn and Burt. ♥ They all seem so happy and relaxed! ♥
Also, even though I would have loved for Blaine to hug or kiss Kurt to help reassure him, I totally understand why maybe they didn't. I mean, I remember often being hesitant to kiss my boyfriend in public and I didn't have the added stress of possibly being beaten up for it! While it would have been more emotionally satisfying for the viewer, in terms of reality, that felt very true to me.
I feel like Kurt and Blaine feel like a very real relationship. Even though Kurt can be a little over the top and he wants the Romance, they are portrayed very realistically (unlike the relationship calendar Rachel forces on Finn). I completely adore and appreciate their relationship as it's presented. They are seriously the best couple on television. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Excuse me, I have to rewatch all the Kurt parts before I go to work. *chinhands*

Date: 2011-05-11 10:02 pm (UTC)I agree. I wished we had gotten a kiss at Breadstix after Kurt asked him. I also wanted to see them slow dance. Why not? More affection would've been nice during Kurt's meltdown.
But Kurt did get to dance with his prince. *Fangirl puddle*

Date: 2011-05-12 04:36 am (UTC)I maintain that kurofsky may not actually be gay. I know that saying he's 'confused' is just a straight person cliche, but I don't mean it like that. We've seen that he's exactly who his father wants him to be and is afraid to be anything else. He's very repressed in that house. Anyhow, this may be more of a confusion over finding his true identity than anything else. Does that make sense?
And was it wrong of me to cheer for kurt when they announced him as prom queen? He's totally awesome, nothing can change that. I'm kinda surprised he was that hurt by it, I expected him to be more like "Hell yeah I am!" and take that crown and look amazing doing it. Seriously, how awesome was that outfit?
Anyways, I hate Jesse, I don't like his voice and they basically destroyed 'rolling in the deep', it's not their fault though, that song cannot be sung any better than adele sings it. And Rachel, at least, redeemed herself with 'Jar of Hearts'. Sure, christina perri's version is much better, but at least it was well suited to her voice.
I really shouldn't still be awake. I'm leaving now.

Date: 2011-05-12 03:19 pm (UTC)He started realizing he was gay. Or at least had some interest in guys. Around that time, he heard his dad make some offhanded, demeaning joke/comment about gay people ("That's so gay." "Don't be fag."). Not necessarily meaning to be vicious, but like Burt said, that's just how they would talk. So, Dave starts going into this like shame-spiral and doesn't know what to do or how to deal so he lashes out and takes everything out on Kurt.
I actually liked the Rolling In The Deep that Rachel & Jesse did. Of course, I've never heard the original, so I have no idea how Adele sounds. *shrug* But I thought it was a cool interpretation. :-)
