I really can't see Finn and Rachel lasting either, and I'm beginning to think the show's intentionally setting them up that way. There was such a marked difference between the emotional context of Finn/Rachel and Kurt/Blaine's first times, you know? The latter felt so much more connected and positive, and came across as relationship growth - and the former was just - really, really sad, and came across more like clinging to what they had or what they thought they had, rather than face their future.
On the one hand, I completely, totally love that there was a storyline on network TV with two gay characters in a loving, committed relationship who talk openly about their decision to be sexually intimate. RIB+ get major, major snaps for that - as frustrating as the writing for this show can be, sometimes they intentionally do pretty great things. On the other hand - the way their hips were angled away from each other in that shot was super obvious and distracting, and a pretty clear sign of a double-standard (for which I'm much more likely to blame S&P than RIB). Small steps, I guess.
Those ACCENTS. Glee at its best/worst, tbh.
I'm still sorting out my Karofsky feelings, I think, which tend definitely to be on the negative side, but I agree that I'm glad Kurt had some resolution.
