Re: Kurt Hummel Spoiler Thread - part 24

[Ranwing]

My new philosophy when it comes to Kurt getting storylines or his own and solos is "Expect nothing." That way at worst I won't be dissapointed and at best, pleasently surprised.

Video of Rachel being her lovely self and so appreciative of her supportive friends:    link.

Seriously... how the fuck does this girl have any friends? This is worse than season one Rachel. This is nothing but her being a self-indulgent child. Why would anyone care how she does on her opening night when she is so abusive to everyone around her?

Kurt... do yourself a favor. Dump the prima donna and the Grease Stain. OK to stay friends with Santana and Mercedes, but get rid of the rest of the emotional parasites in your life. Find yourself some new friends (like your NYADA weapons class harem) and focus on yourself. Please... I'm begging you.

He looks so hopeful and earnest here. I'm getting the impression that he's trying to get some of his friends interested in his project, but they're too busy with their own things to bother with something so... small.

Am repeating my earlier post - Kurt, get yourself some new friends ASAP!

GLEE: L-R: Blaine (Darren Criss), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Kurt (Chris Colfer), Santana (Naya Rivera) and Sam (Chord Overstreet) support Rachel’s Broadway debut in “Funny Girl,” in the “Opening Night” episode of GLEE airing Tuesday, April 22 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. ©2014 Fox Broadcasting Co. CR: Tyler Golden/FOX - uhq



For the Max Adler fans:

Max Adler Ok Pirates & Gleeks alike! Tell me. Is this a Throwback Tuesday picture of me & @darrencriss from back in the day? Or, could this possibly be airing tonight on @GLEEonFOX? Guess you will have to tune in to find out!

[Glorfindel]

Aaaand there's the Barbra wig again. Mind you: it's Rachel playing Fanny Brice, not Barbra  Streisand, so the wig really shouldn't be there.
(And am I the only one who finds this slightly creepy?   )

[AnneNeville]

moving to LA is for budgetary reasons. w/ the diminishing ratings, fox is going to tighten the money belt. getting rid of a big cast helps, but having the story set in NY requires constant shooting in NYC on location and it can get really costly. moving to LA is smart because the studio is right there. no more expensive airfare to transport a big cast and crew and equipment to NY, plus room and board while shooting there.

i really don't care where they move the show to. they can all go to hell, so we don't have to raise hell every week.

hell to the no big deal, just a stupid show.

It's so stupid, though. There are plenty of shows that are set in NYC and film in LA without doing location shots in NYC. See How I Met Your Mother. Glee could do that. I don't think that a move to LA would really be about saving money.

[fantastica]

everything is creepy. ewwww!

[ColferInspired]

And Kurt does have other friends, Blaine mentioned it last week in one of his VO's.

But of course we will never see them.

Of course not. This like when Kurt worked at Vogue, I'm unsure if he still works there, and we rarely seen a scene of him there, and regards the employees they only were shown in one episode.

As for The Rose, wasn't months ago that rumour Kurt's tattoo will have an important meaning in the following episodes? Well his tattoo says 'Bette Midler'.

No, you're not. Unfortunately Ryan Murphy as a Barbra fetish and will stop at nothing to drive home the fact that Lea is supposed to be the new Barbra. As if it's a good thing to be a copy of a true icon and not an icon herself.

Watching that promo really killed any chance of me watching the ep tonight. I get that Rachel would have a serious case of nerves. This is a big deal for her and even if she's done the show a few dozen times in out of town performances and previews, a lot is riding on a good opening night. However, that does not give her the right to go into her "woe is me" mode (again) and abuse the people trying to help her. I would let he stew in her own misery and let her rise or fall under her own power. Why the hell is everyone bending over backwards to make sure that she is successful? What blackmail material does she have on all of them?

I'm not sure that the show would be willing to "ugly up" Rachel enough to actually fit Fanny Brice's image. Not that she wasn't also gorgeous in promo photos . . .



But I don't think that goofy-comic-lady is the image that they are going for for either Rachel or Lea.

[ColferInspired]

I have a feeling none of his friends will care about Kurt being Peter Pan.   

Imagine if Blaine ridicules him, and brags how he is going to be a star.

The way they are writing Blaine each week is making him worse and more worse. So, I can see Chris being allowed to write this into his episode.

[ColferInspired]

The only good thing about next weeks episode will be the promo for Chris's.

[ChrisColferFan1]

True.

[ColferInspired]

Next week will be all Blaine worship.  

I am predicting we will probably get not much Kurt or even his POV either. Kurt I feel will have his disappointment silenced and not shown.   

I am predicting this episode will be extremely Kurt lite.

I am hoping I am wrong, and we see Kurt's POV.

[ChrisColfersLightning]

1. Wake Me Up (Glee Cast Version)
   
2. Doo Wop (That Thing) (Glee Cast Version)
   
3. Story of My Life (Glee Cast Version)
   
4. Piece of My Heart (Glee Cast Version)
   
5. The Rose (Glee Cast Version)
   

So, if memory serves me correctly, Wake Me Up is Rachel, Story of My Live is Klaine, and Piece of My Heart is Blaine.  Do we know who is singing Doo Wop and The Rose?  

This song is Santana and Mercedes, maybe Artie will join too, calling it now! But most deff Santana and Mercedes for The back up plan



As for The Rose, Rachel of course, or Blaine    Kurt gets nothing. Who cares if Blaine just stole an opportunity from him again and everyone else gets  story line and a break, he gets to sing a song with Blaine and Blaine obviously sings more of it and sings it 'better' since the lady looked over Kurt. Nope, Kurt is not allowed to have a sad song for his feelings, everyone can break out in song when they feel like it, yet Kurt, we will see his hurt look and then switch over to Rachel plot, Blaine plot, or the studio with Santana and Mercedes, sigh, I know I say this a lot but still #Free Kurt

[ChrisColfersLightning]

I never knew how many Bette Midler songs and Janis Joplin songs I knew    All these years my granny been playing these songs and I never knew who they were, smh I am 19 so that can be a tiny exscuse, but wow. I forgot Janis sung Cry Baby, that song reminds me when I was young so much wow.

Any ways, got off track, it looks like Glee is going more and more old school lately. Do you think they will start doing more classic songs that we know or songs that they can afford? Like I am appreciating classic songs, but I want them to let other people sing the songs too, I do not want to hear only Rachel and Blaine sing classic rock while Mercedes sings like old school R&B :/ Ok let me be real, I WANT, no, NEED Kurt to do some amazing classic numbers too and not just really old lady songs not many people know   

I love how he do classic songs yes, but why every time he has a solo it is him trying to prove he is ok or he is not going any where, I ant Kurt to sing a solo for a happy thing or for fun for once, or for a damn job like everyone else! Ugh, I do not get the reason why he has not sang in the damn diner yet! Blaine has, Rachel has many times, Santana has, even Elliott did! Who is next to sing in the Dinner? Mercedes? I do like Santana and Mercedes, I am not complaining about them at all, I just want Kurt to have more song opportunities too

That made me laugh...old lady songs.   No but I get what you mean.

I grew up listening to 70's music beacuse my mom and dad used to listen these compilation tapes and LP's from that age. If they start using 70's and 80's songs there are great pop and rock song choices for Kurt.

[ColferInspired]

Just a thought Blaine seems to know more about this June, but Kurt appears to not.

Kurt in the promo says she is stunning, but Blaine says she is American royalty.

Could he be trying to pass as straight as we have discussed?

There is something a bit off about all this.

None of these synopsis's to do with Klaine show the true story of what ends up being shown on screen.

[Ranwing]

Interesting that June tells Blaine that he's "unstoppable".

I'm sure he is, given that he's willing to throw his own fiancé under the bus in order to further his own career. I'm sure that's not much that he wouldn't do in order to gain stardom.

There's a lovely quote from the Buddha that fits here - "Life is easy for those who are shameless. Life is hard for those who have shame." Blaine (and Rachel) have no shame. They will do whatever they need to and step on whoever they need to if it means giving themselves an advantage. Kurt won't. So he won't get the immediate success that they do, but what he'll have is not only his own self-respect, but the respect of others.

I'm sorry!   I was borin in 1994, my mam and granny plays lots of 90's, 80's, 70's songs and my gran plays lots of 50's 60's music too so I might not know the Artist, but I know the music! But honestly I do not know many old old classic lady Broad Way songs like "I'm Still Here?" And "Roses turn", stuff like that Kurt sings, Hence old lady song comment    I am not used to those songs, I do not know them, but I do know classic songs by classic known bands, groups, and single Artists and would like to hear Kurt sing one, he seems to be left out a lot and it makes me sad    Plus I want to hear him sing some man songs seriously, and give him a solo, that one stingy solo is not enough! His voice is amazing, sigh

That synopsis was not revealing everything, is what I am feeling.

The way Blaine seems to be looking at her is like he is flirting with her.

If this is how Blaine robs Kurt this time round, then this is worse than WSS.

I would like to know how Carmen fits into all this though.

[coxfire]

The line Burt told Kurt when he received his NYADA letter? Wow, original writers.

I have no interest in watching Blaine be once more called the best thing ever since last bread while Kurt watches from the sides and being once more sidelined.

If Chris hadn't penned 5x19, I think I'd be definitely done with Glee for the season , but I'll catch Chris' episode on streaming. I'll see for 5x20 if, according to your comments here, it is worth watching. I don't think so, between the synopsis barely mentionning Kurt plus the fact that he had no definite storyline this season, he'll probably end up being Blaine and Rachel's cheerleader, and I'm sick of it.

Nothing I read lately makes me want to keep on watching Glee, particularly this stupid move to LA, and the adventures of Blamchel. I wanted mature storylines, not college drop-outs who get anything they want by basically doing nothing. What a let down.

[Buenos]

When I think how badly they've mangled Kurt's SL in NY I remind myself that they bungled Santana's even worse.

Mercedes and Sam's apparent "success" in their respective careers by 5.20 show the inherent problem with Glee. It doesn't tell "stories" , that's too boring. It's about setting up some conflict or drama that needs to be resolved. Mercedes and Sam are going to be singers and models, so something must be difficult for them in another way.

Kurt is different, in that he actually had a journey and learned to accept himself and be accepted by others. So now that's been done, RIB don't find his story interesting because it would involve Kurt having a career path, and that would interfere too much with his BFF and LI's focus, so there's that.
