Thoughts of A Sleep Deprived Mind

It’s like he came straight off a trampoline

I love that he had to add “not really”.  Like, in his head he’s imaging all these flip-flop scenarios where he and Kurt switch fucking each other’s brains out.  Oh man.  >_>  Best moment of the show.

Glee-Cap: “Feud” | GLEE

…the episode after Sue lectures Blaine about commitment we get him singing that amazing rendition of ‘Against All Odds’.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Feuds, Loyalty and Family-Of-Choice Take Center Stage on Last Night’s Glee — Billboard.

Also because I can’t have this picture often enough on my blog.

I have a post sitting in draft from a year ago now, that’s a screenshot of Blaine, Kurt, Santana and Brit when they confront Sebastian in the Lima Bean that calls them “the gay fantastic four.” I bookmarked it for later use as a think piece about queer community, but last night’s Glee made me really want to get back to it, finally, because of Santana. The scene where she tells Kurt and Rachel they’re family made my heart ache in all the best ways.  I have a lot more to say about that all personally that has very little to do with your enjoyment of the above recap, but understanding community and family of choice is beautiful and Glee getting us there about them — and about the newbies for that matter — was a good thing.

Everything they explored about Blaine Anderson and his loyalty, even though the lens of Sue and her Machiavellian insanity, hit me strongly as well. Sue always has a purpose and a lesson for these kids, and sure she needs his perky, non-threatening behind to hoist girls, but she also is trying to shape Blaine back into someone trustworthy and loyal.  Sure, her methods are terrifying and definitely evoke a creepy power dynamic, but we also see Blaine settle into that, and use that to his advantage. Blaine has been berating himself for his mess up with Kurt, he wasn’t to feel like he’s not a bad person, and Sue is giving him another avenue to prove he is worthy and good.  Does he need to do that?  I don’t have that answer, but I am interested to see the Blaine, and eventually the Blaine-and-Kurt, that comes out on the other side of this season.

I really hope Finn goes to college and lets Rachel deal with her own life, that is all.

I just loved how this turned into a superhero mission. Just moving on from the work they did together with the Warblers, to stop that injustice, which was also about someone in a position of power exploiting others.
