erilynCobra Starship are opening for Maroon 5? But I don't think I want to pay to see Maroon 5 :( Life is hard, yo. (Also, Maroon 5 + Cobra + Sara Bareilles seems like a weird combo)
Ugh, I don't want to think about most of the Bieste or Puck&Artie storylines, and the mash-ups, while they're growing on me, weren't as good as the S1 mashups. And you know, while I'm not a Rachel-centric fan, I do quite enjoy her some of the time (when they aren't giving all the songs to her), and it's getting kind of ridiculous how under-used she is this season, though she's still getting more than poor Mercedes.
To steal from Jim Cantiello's very amusing musical Gleecaps - Can we go back to the Kurt storyline? that's all anyone cares about anyway...
OMG HEARTS IN MY EYES WATCHING KURT WITH HEARTS IN HIS EYES WATCHING BLAINE. That was just adorable and sweet and I don't think we've ever seen Kurt smile like that. Ever. And I listened to the song a bunch of times today, so good! New Directions is gonna have to bring it at Sectionals to beat the Warblers IMO. It was hard not to give in and watch the sneak peek of the performance, but was totes worth the wait :) Blaine's advice was not necessarily the best idea, but still better than Will "wow Kurt, the tormenting, harrassment and physical abuse seems to be getting you down more than it used to" Schuester (and he was still more likeable this ep than last!)
But on the whole, I like Blaine, I want him to stick around at least for a bit (and I've railed about the bloated cast before). It was the delivery of "well he's not coming out anytime soon" that sealed it for me.
As for the Karofsky storyline - just as I was starting to wonder if they were going the "homophobic bully is secretly gay" route, bam! he kisses (assaults, really) Kurt. I don't care if it is cliche, it was a damn powerful scene. And I'm hoping that with any continuation of this, we'll get revisits with Azimo(?) and others, so that it doesn't seem like the show is suggesting that all homophobic bullies are secretly gay. But damn, who knew that guy could act? Chris Colfer was fantastic all episode, but I'm totally biased.
True story - I just went to Youtube and listened to about 13 seconds of Katy Perry singing Teenage Dreams. Two things: a) despite it charting high in Australia and going double platinum, I don't think I've ever heard that song before, and b) while I adore the Glee version, I hate her version.
I feel like I've never watched a show where a queer character and their potential romantic storylines gets as much media attention as Kurt does on Glee? Or have I just not been paying attention? The downside to watching a popular show like this and poking around the fandom and media coverage is that its really fucking hard to avoid spoilers.
