Almost forgot to unlock this bitch.

[Ranwing]

Glad to know that I'm not alone here.

[ChrisColferFan1]

Not watching live or taping it on my DVR but will be reading this thread. Will be watching the Kurt edits minus scenes with Blaine,

[Ranwing]

Blaine got into NYADA. Whoodie fucking do... Like no one wasn't expecting that.

[ChrisColferFan1]

Blaine got into NYADA. Whoodie fucking do... Like no one wasn't expecting that.

Hopefully, he will have some tough times at NYADA.

[Ranwing]

Kurtcedes is perfect. The harmonies were out of this world.

[Jellyrolls]

Aww. So Brad. Why would Holly and April want to kill him? He is the second best thing on Glee behind Kurt.

The Amazing race thing was kind of funny. One of those crazy silly Glee things.

A valedictorian didn't get into a state school? Yeah. OK. That makes sense.

So, it was Rachel hugging Blaine. Blaine in NYADA. That's exciting. I wish Kurt didn't get in now.

This friends thing is stupid. And damn RIB for Klaine kissing on a bed.

Kurtcedes.     Their voices sound so nice together.

[Jellyrolls]

Glad to know that I'm not alone here.

It's you and me against the world, Wendy! We're suffering through until the end of the series, right?

Will be watching that clip later.

[Ranwing]

Unfortunately! I feel like that character on Brokeback Mountain. I wish I could quit you, Glee!

[Ranwing]

Party All the Time was totally pointless. Although I found myself hoping that when the soap suds came down that Blaine would vanish in a puddle of grease like in the Dawn commercials.

[Ranwing]

Found this gif to perfectly describe my feelings about Blaine getting into NYADA.

[Jellyrolls]

So, Rachel is trying to make things up here, but seriously, Santana, you want the part from Rachel? OK then.

So, once again, Kurt and Blaine aren't sitting near each other.

What is the point of this song in here anyways? It's a bad song. But, we did get awesome Kurt Too bad it also included prominent annoying Blaine flailing.

Where do these high school/college kids get all this money to buy plane tickets? Brittany's sweater is ugly.

And Santana, you came out of the closet because fans who wanted to see two girls who slept with every boy in the school kiss were pandered to, not because it made sense for your character.

[Ranwing]

Just hit the mute button to save my ears from having to listen to Blarren butcher LLM. Sorry... there are some things that I just won't endure, even for you guys.

I get that Rachel thinks she's making a peace offering (10 shows after three months - if FG last that long), but their fight has gone on too long for that kind of half-hearted measure. Maybe if she showed a trace of that "generosity" at the beginning, it might have made a difference. Now? It's a trifle insulting. But Santana really doesn't want this so we all know what's going to happen.

[Buenos]

Party All the Time was totally pointless.

I strongly disagree, Kurt's shoulder shimmy was golden...  

[Ranwing]

And like magic, Pezberry is fixed. Hell, I've held grudges a lot longer over a someone breaking the spine of a loaned book.

Yes, there was that.   

[Jellyrolls]

OMG, Darren's line delivery in the scene before Loser Like Me was just horrible. It's like he was channeling the puppet master. It is so annoying that Blaine is singing on this song. Everyone else was great, but I have a hard time liking Darren in this song because Blaine has never been a loser. Even Sam is borderline loser. Yes, he took a few slushies, but he never had the issues that the other Glee members had.

So, now Santana is the one making things right, and we get a Pezberry duet. So Santana is too good to sing some old song they already sang? But she wasn't two good to sing two of them last year? Lea and Naya do sound good together, though. Their voices really compliment each other at times.

Seriously, is Darren even capable of making facial expressions that don't make him look like an idiot? His faces during their song was just horrible. How can he not know that he looks ridiculous?

And now Pezberry is all made up. Yay.

Artie pants?

So, Holly is making everyone do the video? OK then.

[Ranwing]

Kurtcedes are still perfect. Best friendship on this awful show.

Geez Blaine... you could actually act like you want to touch your fiancé in something other than one of Tina's fantasy sequences (which was totally lame IMO).

[Jellyrolls]

And like magic, Pezberry is fixed. Hell, I've held grudges a lot longer over a someone breaking the spine of a loaned book.

Why should this surprise us? Klaine got engaged two and a half minutes after reuniting after a six month breakup.

Good point.

[ColferInspired]

Just looking at what people are saying.   

I have discovered I am now immune to Klaine and Blaine. Give me Kurt scenes and I don't care anymore.   

Saw Klaine kissing, and for once felt nothing. No anger, no disappointment, just nothing.

Maybe because from one of Chris's latest interviews it sounds like they are exploring them equally, that we are getting Kurt's POV finally on everything.

And Blaine sounds like he is no longer an alpha gay when he goes to New York.

[Buenos]

Kurtcedes was glorious...  

One of the best duets ever on Glee. 

[Jellyrolls]

I normally enjoy Dianna's voice, but she sounds like crap on this song. She just can't sing this low, and the edge sounds so forced. I know that she isn't nearly as strong the other girls, but I usually find her songs pleasant to listen to. Actually, Mark doesn't sound so great either. And I'm sorry, but Quick has less chemistry than Klaine right now.

That shot of Rachel in the song killed me. You know that she was thinking of Finn

Was that a bit of a smirk on Chris' face when Will said that Glee club was over?
