What bothers me the most about last night's episode is the reason Blaine lashed out at Sam was so uncalled for. I can remember him sitting in front of a mirror with Kurt, telling him to look sultry because he wanted to win Regionals with selling sex. Now either they are making Blaine a hypocrite, or they have a problem with contuinity. Hmmmm, I wonder which it is? For the rest I enjoyed the episode. Enjoyed it, but not loved it. I know! Through the whole of that I was thinking "WTF? This is the man who wanted to "rock the bobby socks" off those schoolgirls and "turn their knees to jelly"! But Glee? With continuity issues? Changing a character to fit a plot? LIES I TELL YOU, ALL LIES!!!!!!! *cough* |

The honest truth is I think this show actually peeked in season one. Since then the writers and producers haven't known which way to go or why they are going there. Instead of focusing on the core group of kids and developing them,like they did in season one, they have added and subtracted characters and plots like they were in some kind of remedial math class. If they fouced on the core group they it would have been a far better show then it has turned out to be. After such a wonderful start in season one, they have done nothing really but disappoint since then with their lack of vision and the constant inconsistancies in the characters, the stories and the plots.
So why do I keep watching?
For the same reason I watched Queer as Folk until the end I loved one character, in QAF it was Michael and in Glee it's Kurt. I keep hoping for better.
Hope dies last.

I don't really mind the numerous inconsistencies much anymore. For me, Glee has always been like this. If something happens that throws one of my beloved character's personalities off kilter, I let my brain quickly make up a new head-canon for why the character acted that way.  Ex: Blaine freaks out and overreacts about Sam's sexy moves "I'm not for sale!!" = Blaine's mom was a prostitute before she met his dad. WAIT, no! That's HOW she met his father! ;D Oh, and even though Blaine's love for boxing came out of nowhere, I very much enjoyed the opportunity for Blaine to make a "obviously, I'm not allowed to talk about it" 'Fight Club' reference. ;D ;D About the other characters - I was so happy that Rachel didn't get to perform, because we finally got to see Tina do her thing! She was great...even though the stuff with her and Mike's dad was way too corny. Wow, the writers REALLY could have thought harder to make up a realistic reason for Sam to rejoin the glee club. lol...SO lame, but I am guilty of shipping Samcedes. They're cute together, okay? I'm so glad the Quinn/Puck/Shelby story seems to be over! That was just awful the whole way through. And my favorite part of the ep - KURT! His 'I don't like your smirky little meerkat face...You smell like Craigslist' smackdown was hilarious and his reactions during 'Red Solo Cup' mirrored mine exactly. *** The last two eps haven't been my favorite (I didn't expect them to be) but I'm very much looking forward to next week's Christmas episode! The preview looked pretty promising.  |

I neglected to post this last night after watching the episode... WTF ... Karofsky?  I knew it wouldn't be Blaine, but him?  Before the end I was wondering whether Blaine would appear at all in the Valentine's Day episode. At least he did right at the end. |

I don´t want to start the old and boring argument between klainers and pirates, because that has no meaning or purpose,, there are no human way to understand each other  , but, i only want to say that Dave it´s, at these moment, as good option as Blaine to be Kurt´s boyfriend. I mean, he is a scared teenager (not an adult, please, let´s be ADULTS and understand this) and made terrible mistakes, but not unforgivable ones, because clearly Kurt forgave him ( no as a big amount of his “followers” that are showing they are far far away from his moral high level). Blaine made terrible mistakes too, (without any consecuences) but he can be easely forgiven, because, well…it´s Blaine…. I have never, ever, were disrespectful with Blaine or his fans too, although I deeply dislike him, but... there are many Karofsky followers (very happy rigth now to see him again, by the way) who asks kindly to Klainers not to spoil our happiness ...because you got the big part in this, all this time.... let us have our little one...pleeease....  |

I was surprised to see Dave back (and in love with Kurt!) and I feel so bad for him... I don't want to like Dave, but I do. I know he's been a jerk and he was really awful to Kurt and that is difficult to forget. On the other hand, I think that everybody deserves a second chance. I thought that Dave really tried to make Kurt see, that he had changed since he left the school. That said, I'm not sure I think Kurt and Dave should get together. Kurt is happy with Blaine and I'm not sure Dave and Kurt are a good match. I love Dave as a character and I think he should stay on the show (and get a lot more screen time). I'm interested to see where the writers will go with Dave's storyline. Is he going to be outed or hurt himself? Will Kurt tell Blaine about what happened with Dave and how will Blaine react? Guess we have to wait and see... |

It's good that Dave is getting more comfortable with himself. He's clearly come a long way. But I don't think he and Kurt are a good match, either, for a romantic relationship. I'm interested to see where the writers will go with Dave's storyline. Is he going to be outed or hurt himself? Will Kurt tell Blaine about what happened with Dave and how will Blaine react? Interesting questions. Part of me wants to say that nothing much will come from this encounter. Although Glee is doing a bit better with storyline continuity this season, so maybe more will come from it. But, yeah, I guess we'll see. |

As much as I like the fact they brought Karofsky back, I dislike the way they did.... I mean, it seemed so forced and out of story. And then after a few minutes, he´s gone again. There is so much potential in this storyline!
I really like Kurt and Blaine as a couple and I don´t mind them staying together but what´s the point in bringing Karofsky back if he´s not troubling their relationship? We had that with Sebastian to show that they are in love and Blaines faithfulness to Kurt.
Hopefully they continue with Karofskys coming out because otherwise him declaring his love for Kurt was just another way to show how "strong" Kurt and Blaines relationship is.

At this point I only care about the relationships of KLAINE and SamCedes. I actually LOVE Glee. I just don't have the beef everyone else seems to have.
I've never seen an episode that I didn't want to watch again (even when I didn't like the song choices).
So I've never really understood why folks complain so much.
But If I don't get MORE SamCedes (one of the most adorable, sweet, musically compatible, visually appealing couples on the show) and KLAINE, I will lose it.
I could what Amber and Chord sing to or at each other all day long.
I have loved the ide of them since Prom (which every recapper seems to forget about for some reason) and they make complete sense to me.
I believe they really like each other and Mercedes and Sam's personalities complement each other. They both have a fierce side and a goofy side and they are both more than what meets the eye and defy people's expectations.
Mercedes and Sam happened organically (not because of social status or trying to make someone jealous) and they got to fall for each other without all their friends commenting from the amen corner. Best kind of high school romance, IMO.
Finchel makes my teeth hurt.
Mike and Tina are great but they just blend into the background because since they've been together, Tina's awesome has kind gotten smaller. They are beautiful and talented but ultimately dull.
Sigh...

So I've never really understood why folks complain so much. Me neither. Actually I enjoy the episodes nearly as much as in the beginning. There are developements I dislike of course or songs I don´t wanna hear but that has got nothing to do with the show itself as long as I still have fun watching it. Although they shouldn´t let Sam and Mercedes suffer any longer, I´d absolutely love them as a couple. Plus how amazing was Mercedes singing"I will always love you"? |

I mainly watch Glee for Kurt and Blaine, but I do enjoy most of the other characters every now and then...except Mr. Shue, he weirds me out. Couple-wise, I only like Tina/Mike, Kurt/Blaine and Sam/Mercedes. Everyone else could totally break up and reform into different pairs and I wouldn't bat an eye. I don't get all of the complaining about Glee sucking lately either. I love Glee. It's actually my favorite show and I look forward to it every week, no matter who's storylines are being featured and what songs they'll be singing. Oh, and I love Rachel's two gay dads. ;D |

I guess my expectations for Glee have never been very high, so I wasn't really disappointed yesterday. I do see the point of those recaps that the episode just didn't hang together very well (to put it politely ), but I can't be terribly hard on Glee. The show just isn't trying to be a top-notch drama (which is totally fine), so I adjusted my expectations long ago. So instead of being disappointed, I saw yet another "meh" episode . I did keep thinking that Karofsky's suicide attempt was an interesting story, but that they did very little to build up to it so it fell remarkably flat for me from an emotional perspective. It's one thing to be told a character's motivations and/or state of mind, but doing it that way is a far cry from actually seeing it develop. I did like Kurt & Karofsky's scene in the hospital, but I doubt the show will actually build on the foundation they're trying to lay there. It's a shame, because there's a lot of potential there that will go to waste. One thing that I didn't like was Mr Shuester (however you spell his name ) talking about his contemplating suicide. Considering the tone of the rest of the material surrounding suicide & death, his story felt incredibly lame. There's probably some missing build-up there that might have made it have more of an impact . Lastly, I knew the instant Quinn was in a rush, driving home to get her dress, that the episode would end that way. I don't know why some shows still go for that kind of cliffhanger. Sigh. |

I agree that the Karofsky suicide attempt needed much more build up. But I still thought it was pretty powerful. I've come to realize the writing of gay stories on a lot of these shows are flat and have little build up and it's too bad.
