Glee: Prom Queen

[switch842]

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.

OMG COULD KURT HAVE BEEN MORE ADORABLE IN THIS EPISODE?!

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*

I can understand that, about Kurt & Blaine. I just hope they get something at some point, probably next season. I mean, all the other couples have had their moments (the whole Like A Virgin scene, Tina dragging Mike into an empty classroom, etc). And, you know, it doesn't need to be in public, in school or anything like that. But, can't they have that, too?

But all that said, it does feel very real. Much more so than any of the other couples for sure. So, that's YAY! :-)

Kurt and Blaine are much more my high school experience than any of the het couples.

Which, okay, probably actually says a lot about me. *snickers*

Yeah, I'm pretty much Mercedes at this point. Minus the awesome guy friend to give me a little bit of a happy ending.... :-( ;-)
