From the Glee facebook page:



ETA: This is a campaign graphic that is backfiring. Have the comments on there are from people who think that it means that the show is over. LOL

[fantastica]

looks like the it IS over, i mean what this poster suggests. what exactly does it try to say? that the glee club (not the series) is over?

[Jellyrolls]

That was the intent, but that's not how people took it.

[Buenos]

Not a very "smart" promo.

I just don't understand this show, even if they weren't going to film at McKinley anymore why close everything down in such a depressing downer SL? Why not have Will get another job in another choir and let Sue say she's taking over Glee...something whacky that signals they wont' be back, if ever, but without such a negative tone.

March To The 100th Episode: How Glee’s Kurt Hummel Seduced The World And Stole Our Hearts

In 2009, the world was introduced to Chris Colfer and his beloved character, Kurt Hummel, on FOX’s ground-breaking musical smash hit, Glee. Chris played the fashionable, gay underdog to perfection, and the world instantly fell in love with the awkward and passionate, Kurt.

Oddly enough, Chris had originally auditioned for the part of Artie, who we know eventually, was portrayed by Kevin McHale. Show creator Ryan Murphy, however, was so impressed with the young Colfer that he scrapped a previous character to dream up the loveable Kurt.

And with that, a star was born.

Chris went on to win a Golden Globe, two People’s Choice awards and was nominated twice for Emmy awards for his portrayal of Kurt; who has arguably become one of TV’s most influential gay characters. Yes, we had Will & Grace, but never had a show (or character) dealt with so many current, real life issues that the youth in the LGBT face on a daily basis; head on and with no fucks given attitude.

Ryan Murphy helmed a revolution on TV using the characters in Glee to address topical, serious issues that the masses not only connected with, but learned from. This is made evident in posts similar to this one from the blog Why Glee Saved Me:

“I remember watching my first episode of Glee at my friend’s house and I fell in love with Kurt immediately. As I watched more episodes at home I realized what an amazing show Glee is and it really started to inspire me. At school people were ignoring or hating on me and at home my parents talked bad about me behind my back, that’s why I cried a lot. Glee gave me so much strength and courage, I’m so grateful this show exists. It taught me that it’s ok to be different and that everyone’s unique in their own way. Not only the characters but also the cast is extremely inspiring and they’re huge role models. They’ve changed me for the better and saved so many people’s lives. Thank you, Glee.”

Chris’s on-screen relationship with Darren Criss (Blaine Anderson) was dubbed “Klaine” by Gleeks and quickly gained a cult-following within the Glee universe. The on-screen dynamic and exploration of gay relationships pushed Glee into new territories and lezbehonest, Santana and Brittany played a part in steaming up our screens just as much, but I don’t think anyone was complaining.

Chris has had some incredibly memorable performances while on Glee; “Blackbird” being one of my personal favorites. “Rose’s Turn”, “Perfect” (with Darren Criss), “I Have Nothing” and of course “Defying Gravity.” The list could keep going…I know!

Aside from his many accomplishments on Glee, Chris has gained notoriety as a New York Times best-selling author with his book series, The Land of Stories; he has written, starred in and produced his own film called Struck by Lightning and he is set to make his voice acting debut in Robodog.

Personally, I cannot wait to see where Chris’s career takes him. I hope to see him on Broadway in the not-so-distant future, but I think the list is endless; album, more books, television and movie roles, clothing line…I really don’t think he can do any wrong, so I for one I’m anxiously awaiting to see where Chris takes us post-Glee and beyond.

Also, I think we’d make a fabulous couple…

So, to the awkward little boy we fell in love with, to the man who is already accomplished beyond his years…cheers to Chris Colfer (and Brian!); here’s to a long career of entertaining the masses and making us cry.

"This is Glee. My optimism is cautious. But if Rachel and Santana’s contrived feud was what it took to get us Kurt and Mercedes’s rendition of “I Am Changing,” they can have as many feuds as they want. I’m not sure whether those two have ever had a proper, just-the-two-of-us duet aside from “4 Minutes” way back in season one, but their blend is effortless, and the maturity they’ve gained as performers in the past five years is delightfully evident."

 We should send the writer of that flowers.

I love pensive Kurt, or is that Chris?   

[bayth]

That's Chris from NYC.  

[valkeakuulas]

It's a popsicle Chris. I just think it's endearing that he's so visibly cold in these pictures. I think we now know what his displeased face looks like.

[Kurt addict]

Just been re watching katy or a gaga the chemistry with Adam and chris was electric, just loved the way star child flirted with kurt while he was singing marry the night and the terrified look on Kurt's face it was comedic gold lol

[Buenos]

That look....
