Kate Stanhope, “Saying Goodbye to Glee: The True Confessions of a Gleek” (x)
They messed up their legend…Blue = kissed, Red = dated. Now it all makes sense…
This is in the new TV Guide for 3/10-3/23
The whole page is Glee and has the following quote from Darren:
Although Criss says he was jazzed to “have all the gang back together,” he was worried about tackling songs his costars crushed the first time around. “The numbers that were great were great because of the people who did them. I don’t want to be screwing up someone else’s number!” Criss is thankful that the songs fans most wanted to hear again won’t be cookie-cutter remakes. “We’re doing different versions of them and re-celebrating them.”

Klaine made TV Guide's Hot List as one of TV's Hot Couples (along with 5 others).
They’re in this week’s print edition of TV Guide.
And that probably at least partially explains why Darren was at the TV Guide Hot List party.
Glee Why It Should Stay: Despite the widespread graduation panic felt by Gleeks everywhere last summer, the Fox musical successfully introduced new characters like shy underdog Marley and Puckerman 2.0 while also seguing Rachel and Kurt into their formative...

10. “The New Rachel,” Glee It’s fun to see Rachel’s new life in New York, but Glee’s Season 4 premiere is about so much more. Can the show survive the graduation of eight main characters? Ryan Murphy’s gamble pays off though, as this hour shows us that in addition to successfully juggling geography, it introduces several promising new glee clubbers, most notably Marley Rose, Ryder Lynn and Jake Puckerman. Gold star!
[TV Guide] Ask Matt
Question: A lot of viewers are upset about Kurt and Blaine’s break-up on Glee. I’m holding out hope it is because 1) Long-distance relationships don’t play well on TV; and 2) The intent is to recharge “Klaine” and bring them back together later in the season. It has also given Darren Criss a chance to shine (his meltdown during “Teenage Dream” was heartbreaking and it sets up some great material for him in upcoming eps). Kurt and Blaine were happy in Season 3 and as a result were back-burnered for a majority of episodes. “Klaine” is probably the closest the gay community has ever come to having a “super couple.” They are loved by the media & have a huge straight female following. Surely Ryan Murphy wouldn’t just throw away something so groundbreaking. A strong positive portrayal of a gay relationship is needed now more than ever. I’m on board with the break-up as long as it brings excitement and many swoon-worthy moments on the path toward a reconciliation. What do you think? — Matt
Matt Roush: Looking past my disdain for cutesy handles like “Klaine,” my feeling on this storyline is that it was not only a natural progression for these characters (given the long-distance post-grad evolution of the show) but essential for both to continue to grow. The fact that you responded so strongly to Blaine’s angst in the “Teenage Dream” sequence reinforces the dramatic justification for Glee to go there, even at the risk of upsetting some of the show’s fan base. I don’t know (but would suspect) that they’re heading for an eventual make-up, but it would have less impact if the break-up itself hadn’t been so powerful.
..and here I sit with a big grin on my face. Matt Roush is speculating, of course, just like the rest of us, but it's very nice to have a media critic reinforce a similar mindset. :)
but what is he wearing???
Hmm...okay then.
Darren Criss on Glee's New Hierarchy
The battle to become “the new Rachel” began last night in Glee’s season premiere, but even though Artie declared Blaine to be the winner of the “Call Me Maybe” showdown, that doesn’t mean New Directions has locked in its star performer just yet.
“Blaine might want to be that, but Darren doesn’t!” admits Darren Criss, adding that he’s actually more excited to see transfer-student Blaine becoming one of the gang with his fellow classmates. “I am a huge Tina Cohen-Chang fan, so any time I get to spend with Jenna Ushkowitz is great. Blaine hasn’t had a whole lot of interaction with Tina or Brittany, and very little with Artie. So yeah, to hang with all the kids he’s a senior with now… I am really excited about that.”
So if it’s not Blaine taking on all the solos, who does Criss think should be the one to lead New Directions to more potential wins? “I would like to see Jenna or Kevin become that because they’re the original members from all the way back to the pilot.”
Spoken like a true class act. Mr. Schue should be proud.
