I don't ship Klaine, but their scene got to me too. When Kurt pulled back from the kiss that Blaine wanted to give him, UGH.
I thought the Will/Emma stuff was going to suck, too. As the adults storylines usually do. But oh my jesus, poor Emma. Just, wow. As sad as that was to see, I am so glad we got that insight into her character. When Will got down on his knees but told her he had no idea what he was doing I started crying for both of them. This is the best Will has been in...a long time. I want him to stick around. Because I didn't think he'd be the man, or person period, that would be able to love her and help her. Because he always whined like a child about how Carl was making her better. Like, he never had any intention of changing her, he liked her being all doe-eyed and dependent on him. It was almost like a bass-ackwards version of Will/Terri, where Terri said, "this marriage works because you don't feel good about yourself."
I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about the Mercedes stuff. I've watched it twice, and I can't quite seem to dig up a lot of sympathy for her. Like NON, a Mercedes-centric episode just seems to ruin her. Ian and Co. aren't very good at these episodes where the minorities get the brunt of the focus. Anyways...Rachel gets everything because she wants everything and show's why she thinks she's be the best for this role or that solo. Mercedes et all., act like spoiled brats when they've never (at least shown) worked as hard to be as good as her or wanting it as much. Crying favoritism. Which, yeah, I guess if Will was a better show choir teacher he would evenly disperse stuff among the others, like he tried to do in Preggers, but I really don't think he favors Rachel. He just see's a student who has always been determined because she actively wants what she knows she can do. She gets shit on, show and fandom, for being determined, and that has always annoyed me. They're threatened.
Crying buckets when Mike started dancing with his mom. Oh my God. Burt and Mrs. Chang just need to adopt everyone in that club.
Love, love, LOVED that Dreamgirls number. I thought it was awesome and perfect. A tad annoying that everyone kept their names but Mercedes was referred to as "Effy," they could have just said, "'cedes," or "sugar," or "darling" but whatever. Also annoying? A couple for Naya, a couple for Matthew, a couple lines for Chris, a line for Cory, a line for Mark...AND NONE FOR JENNA AND DIANNA BYE. I hate when they do songs that are tailor made to be TRUE ensemble pieces and those obvious members are left out.
And yeah, eh oh el, good fucking luck at getting president, Kurt. You're going to need it. All the votes to Brittany.
