Just realising not everyone knows the whole story, so here goes: Before Extraordinary Merry Christmas aired, we had some production stills that teased a significant Kurt and Blaine scene where Kurt was seen opening a ring-sized box. Klaine fandom went wild, obviously. When the episode aired, we were all left a little disoriented as we… [Read more…]

I agree with everything said in this Tumblr post. (go read it; I’ll be here when you get back) But… You can’t tell all the gay stories with one gay character. You can’t tell all the gay stories with eight gay characters. Hell, all the straight stories aren’t told yet and they have had millions… [Read more…]

So there this post on Digron’s Tumblr that shows every outfit Blaine wore in Dance With Somebody and there isn’t a bowtie to be seen. MerryMethods then reblogs it, adding this commentary: PEOPLE WHO JUMPED ON BOARD WITH THE WHOLE “BOWTIES ARE KLAINE’S EQUIVALENT OF A COLLAR” HEADCANON. BLAINE KNEW SOME SHIT WAS UP WHEN… [Read more…]

I don’t like ship wars, but I like how Kurt handled Karofsky. A refresher: Kurt: So, you tormented me, shoved me into lockers, called me horrible names and hate-kissed me. Now, after one conversation in a bar, you want us to be together? Karofsky: When I was at McKinley, I hated who I was. I took… [Read more…]

Me: I know a lot of people are worried about “this kiss” issue. What’s going on there? MH: The kiss has been something that we’ve discussed many many, times. We’re just looking for the right way to do it. [He made it seem like they're waiting for the right time to do it and not… [Read more…]

Right now, Colfer is working without his leading man, Darren Criss, who is busy succeeding Daniel Radcliffe in Broadway’s How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Where does that leave “Klaine,” especially with the most romantic of holidays on the horizon? “You’ll find out how [Blaine] leaves for a little bit and then comes… [Read more…]

And I’m not a Matt Morrison hater (and I actually don’t get the hate, but whatever). But there are a lot of fascinating decisions that went into this episode and I am charmed, charmed, charmed by almost every damn minute of it. Almost. And most of my almosts have to do with my own issues… [Read more…]

Let’s all take a big deep breath and wait. And I know, I’ve asked for it before too. But I want it to make sense. The thing about being a show that is constantly accused of “stunts” is that they probably want to avoid stunts. So panning into McKinley’s hallway of truth and finding Santana… [Read more…]

I’ve been trying to gather my thoughts on “I Kissed a Girl”, because there have been so many people with so many feelings, and on one level or another, I agree with everyone. If you’ve been reading for any length of time here, you know that I see Finn as the well-intentioned but ultimately fail-ally.… [Read more…]

Disclaimer: I barely slept last night. Not sure if it was thinking or feeling or just the fact that I was mysteriously hungry at 4am, but no sleep. So we have this episode and all the baggage that comes with it and me being exhausted and a lot emotional. You may have to take this… [Read more…]
