This is a post about The Warblers.


Leaving aside Sebastian for the moment, I can't even say I'm that mad at the rest of The Warblers. It's clear to me, that watching their reactions and what they had to say when Sebastian let them talk that something has happened and they are so scared of him. Whether he somehow has dirt on them and is blackmailing them or has just bullied his way into the position he's now in, something is wrong.

Throughout the episode Sebastian was "I changed the setlist", "I'm the captain" and that's not how The Warblers work. They have a council; it's not just one guy making all the decisions.

I don't think anyone would argue that while Blaine wasn't on the council, he was probably at least second in charge after Wes and his gavel. Did him leaving just create some sort of massive power vacuum that Sebastian wormed his way into? It didn't seem that way during Uptown Girl, but Sebastian was probably still very new at that point. Just...

WHAT HAPPENED?

How did these guys go from friends who were so, so excited to see Blaine to boys who would just walk away when they see their friend writhing on the ground in agony?

I don't get it and, like, I can't even be mad at them because I'm so disappointed.

I think it's a combo of lazy writing and lazy editing - because the "I Want You Back" scene was cut, we have no idea what happened at Dalton to make everyone so aggressive. Blaine was clearly pissed at the Warblers, and Sebastian seemed more aggressive than usual too. I feel like seeing that whole sequence of events would explain how the Warblers could go from Blaine Anderson fanboys to participating in a slushie fest on Blaine's boyfriend, WHO USED TO BE THEIR FRIEND TOO. Because Blaine wasn't the intended target. *sigh*

I hope we get that scene released soon. It's gotta be more than just an issuing the challenge and watching them sing scene. Like you said, something more HAD to have happened. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS!!

Same. I get cutting the song, but did they have to cut the ENTIRE scene. Give us something to go on here.
