The episode is getting a late start tonight. It's 9:10, and the X Factor is still on. It should be starting soon, though.

[Jellyrolls]

I'm thinking that watching the ending of the X Factor is going to be better than a Kurt and Rachel-less Glee.

[tamara04]

It started right on time for me. The X-Factor just got cut.
And I'm liking it for now!! I like that they mentioned Kurt a few times already.

I hope good mentions.

[Jellyrolls]

So, Blaine is the president of the super heroes club? And he got everyone in the Glee Club to join it? And he sure doesn't look all that broken up about Kurt now.

And why is Tina trying to talk Blaine into talking to Kurt? Shouldn't she be on Kurt's side?

I say screw the trophy, and keep the laptop.

OMG, Finn is wearing a sweater vest, and looking at the picture of the lady. Oh my good. He's tall Shue.

Oh gosh, you have to make Tina say that about Santana? More meta.

Songs by foreigner, in foreign languages, wearing all the flags?

Blaine still doesn't look broken about Kurt not talking to him.

BM. Bowel Movement lady.

The staircase where it all began.

Yeah, leave McKinley. Go to the Warblers. Appear on the show twice a year, Blaine. That's what I want.

Blaine looks so short compared to all the Warblers.

Oh, and Blaine still doesn't look all broken up. It sure didn't take much to get him singing with the Warblers again. Once a needy attention whore who makes derpy faces while he sings, always a needy attention whore who makes derpy faces when he sings.

Hey Blaine, remember when you cheated on your boyfriend, and realized you made a mistake? Remember how upset you were that he won't talk to it? No, it looks like you don't remember that.

[Jellyrolls]

Dynamic duets is something new, Finn? Shue did it every year around this time of year. I'm just saying.

Oh, and Finn, your speech was just a paraphrase a speech that Shue has given.

Mega Stud? I don't think either of you are Mega Stud, Jake and Ryder.

It's WWE night in the choir room!

Of course Blaine would feel right back at home with the Warblers. Because he has to be loved every one, and he needs to be the center of attention.

Yes, Blaine. Kurt was your anchor. Too bad you screwed around behind his back and screwed everything up.

They are right that Blaine is the gel of the group with all the gel he has in his hair he could gel an show choir of a thousand together.

[Jellyrolls]

Wow. I have no idea what Marley said when she started talking Kitty right after the commercial break, and I don't care enough to rewind.

I still really hate the bullimia story.

Brad!

Holding Out For A Hero was a fun performance. I have to say, I may not really like or care about Marley, but I do usually enjoy her performances.

Let Blaine go. You don't need the attention whore (I know it won't happen, but I can dream).

[Jellyrolls]

Shouldn't Ryder's parents have been involved in the decision to test him?

You know, Finn sure seems to have wisdom and insight into Ryder's issue considering how he is just barely out of high school himself, and wasn't that intelligent either.

[tamara04]

awwwwwwwwww Blaine realised right after he did it that Kurt and he were meant to be together forever. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE BLAINE!!

And we didn't even get to see Eli's face! Maybe it's better that way.

[Jellyrolls]

Hmm. Are we watching theatricality?

Puck and Jake sure got close really fast considering Puck didn't know that Jake existed.

Well, Blaine did the nasty with someone else. Bastard.

Oh, let's hero worship blaine now. Yes, we should all admire a cheating whiny attention whore.

Is Sam trying to imitate Bob Dylan when he sings heroes?

Blaine still doesn't seem that broken up by what happened with Kurt. He seems pretty happy onstage, and at the paiting thing.

I didn't like that song at all. Very boring.

Blam! Slaine!

[tamara04]

ok I'm ready for next week's episode with Kurt having a Kiki!!

[Jellyrolls]

I still don't like Kitty, but they seemed to have tamed her down a bit.

So they are hero worshiping Finn? He hasn't done anything for them. Not really.

How long until Finn tells the Glee Club he is so disappointed in them?

It won't be the best year for the new directions, Finn--not without Kurt and Rachel.

This group number is really boring.

Oh no, Ryder does the arms up Mr. Shue spin.

[Jellyrolls]

OK, that episode was bad. The performances were all boring. The storylines were boring. The super hero thing could have been fun and interesting, but it just fell flat.

[brisallie]

ok I'm ready for next week's episode with Kurt having a Kiki!!

Yes. I've seen the promo and it looks more interesting than this episode!

[Ranwing]

Well, that's an hour of my life I'm never getting back. Good thing that I'm too lethargic from an overload of turkey and cornbread dressing to be especially outraged.

On the plus side, lots of nice mentions about Kurt. Even if he wasn't physically on screen (and let me say right now that TPTB are really screwing things up by shoving the NY storyline to the backburner), he had a pretty signifigant place in what was going on. Of course, that got overshadowed by Blaine and his Epic MANPAIN!!!! We get it... you're upset that you fucked things up (literally) with Kurt. Pull up your big boy panties and stop whining. Time to grow up and man up if you want a hope in hell of getting Kurt back.

Was nice to see Sebastian again. He's still a smarmy turd, but he's a good looking smarmy turd. This new head Warbler? Do not want. Really sad to see the Warblers reduced to second rate villians.

The superhero stuff was cute for aproximately three seconds, and then it real old real fast. Let's not do this again, okay?

Marley is still a spineless wimp. Have absolutely no clue why Jake and Ryder are fighting over her. And jez, but Kitty is growing on me. I know she's an evil little bitch, but she's such an unrepentant evil little bitch. That eyeroll she did during the group number echoed my feelings exactly. The bullimia storyline is still offensive. Mama Rose needs to grow a spine of her own and not take lip from the teenage bullies.

Speaking of the bullies... man, they are low rent, aren't they? Makes me really miss Azimio and Karofsky. They were fun. These guys are just obnoxious.

The musical numbers are pretty forgetable, though I did enjoy Holding Out for a Hero. Too much Blaine singing. Dark Side was as soulless mess.

And yeah... really, really am happy to have confirmation that "hooking up" was indeed hooking up. Is going to be nice to shove that in the fact of the stans who've all been hoping that maybe this was all just some big understanding and maybe Blaine really didn't do anything wrong and Kurt can take him back and...

No. Blaine fucked a lighthouse. Deal with it.

[Jellyrolls]

The whole Blaine being in pain over this is just ridiculous because they only time Blaine seems to be in pain or upset is when he verbalizes it in words to say that he is in pain or upset over what happens. But his actions aren't those of someone who is devestated because he screwed up and cheated on his boyfriend. It's happened in all of the episodes since the breakup:

In The Role You Were Born To Play, Blaine whined about how he couldn't be Danny in grease because he just couldn't be in a romantic musical when he ruined his own romance. But maybe, just maybe, he could be teen angel.

In Glease, he seemed pretty happy when he was singing beauty school dropout.

Now tonight, he said everything reminded him of Kurt, and he talked about how upset he was, but he sure seemed happy when he was in that stupid superheroes club, and he sure seemed happy to be singing with the warblers.

I'm not saying that we need to see mopey upset Blaine all the time, but if they are going to have him upset and devestated about the breakup then he should be upset to the point where he doesn't want to sing, or actually can't sing. And he shouldn't be happy in every single scene that he doesn't mention he's upset in.

Glad, I did not end up watching it.

[Jellyrolls]

Oh, and another thing, where is Kurt's support in all of this? Tina was one of his closest friends. Finn is his brother. Kurt was there when Sam needed help. I know Finn questioned Blaine on his actions in the break up, but why does everyone just brush Blaine's actions under the rug, and expect that Kurt should be so willing to talk to Blaine and work things out?

[ChrisColferFan1]

ok I'm ready for next week's episode with Kurt having a Kiki!!

I am looking forward to next's week,because Kutt/Chris will be in it.

Kurt in my opinion should get more support than Blaine.

[MissSoniaPP]

I have not seen the episode, and I will not see.

But from what I've read here and on tumblr.
I do not understand what they are doing with Blaine.
The more they want people to like Blaine, the more people dislike him

I doubt, I will watched it either, from what I read. I do not like Blaine right now.

The show seems to forget entirely that Finn is both Kurt's brother and was badly hurt by a cheating partner. You'd think they'd have him sympathize with Kurt more instead of him hailing Blaine as the "gel" that keeps the Glee club together.

[ChrisColferFan1]

If I wrote for Glee and and wrote this episode,everyone would of been on Kurt's side.I am sure not 100% sure, but almost if Kurt had been the one who cheated almost if not everyone would of been on Blaine's side.Even if the storyline was very similar.
