Glee 3.06

[rm]

1. I don't think I realized all of that was happening this episode. God, I am so glad Santana is getting this plot, that it's not just about Brittany and that we're skewering American politicas in the process.

2. Foreshadowing about NYADA -- Kurt and Rachel aren't going together. I think Rachel's not going to get in, and/or Kurt will get in, but defer or not go. The certainty everyone has about Rachel getting in is the giveaway she won't.

3. Finn, YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE. His passive-aggressive shit with Blaine is AWFUL (and Blaine can go toe to toe with him on that while happening to be in the right). His thing with Santana -- I get it, I get that he wasn't thinking and was impatient, but NOT COOL. There were grounds for Kurt to out Karofsky and he didn't. There were NO grounds for Finn to do that.

4. Blaine and Kurt protecting Rory. Here, the gay boys being friendly and protective of the straight boy, all of them violating the guy rules that Finn laid out for Rory, and yet, geez, it's non-toxic, will you look at that?

5. Kurt's equestrian outfit. Bet Blaine was carrying his school bag in front of him all day.

6. Okay, that leather turban thing? WHAT THE FUCK? Can anyone parse that horror?

7. Did Kurt and Blaine swap outfit pieces (newsboy cap, waistcoast, and possibly shirt) halfway through the episode? Hahahahahahaha.

8. Rachel, doing right and making it all about herself.

9. My conviction Kurt will get into NYADA came when he took the mic off the stand and started walking around with it, no matter how awkward that speech was.

10. Klaine holding hands in the choir room.

11. Quinn, vicious and terrifying again. But will it go anywhere.

12. The campaign ads were hilarious!

13. Burt better win.

14. That Adele mashup was so fucking incredible. And I'm glad Santana slapped Finn.

15. Kurt's body language with Rachel during hug and after. Maybe this is just me, but he seemed less physically comfortable with her than usual. Kurt's weird about physicality in lots of ways, always has been. But head-canon tells me he can't stand to touch anyone but Blaine right now and that's not about desire, but desire remembered.

16. Blaine and those shorts. More with the random feminine positioning of him in relation to others.

17. This episode was more on the surface than many have been lately, and that's not bad. Digging for what makes sense or is interesting on this show, while always fun, can also be pretty exhausting and should be an OPTION for how we watch TV, not a requirement for any cogency.

18. Puck. Shelby. Yes, but whatever.

19. I think half this episode had to be inexplicable and probably not funny to anyone under 30 ("Hot for Teacher" and the Hall & Oats thing, which was, frankly, terrible).

20. FENCING WITH THE FUCKING MIC STANDS.

XD, I went back and checked and then realised what you were talking about. And yes, that particular fashion statement confused me too.

I have to say, the Palestinian idea came to me partly because Sue kept calling Kurt 'Yasser' which was extremely entertaining. I always love Sue/Kurt conversations.
