Glee II: More GLeek!

[Sawyer]

They just really need to get some character development in there. Right now he's just the good looking guy with a nice singing voice for Kurt to swoon over.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I honestly just don't like the message Blaine/Kurt sends. It's the opposite of what the media says. Blaine/Kurt is all about being okay with who you are? No, it's not they BOTH ran away to Dalton under the pressure of bullying. It's basically saying. ''It's okay kids, go be gay at another school. Maybe you'll be accepted there."

I'm really hoping they just are doing the whole ''The hero must be defeated before he gains the power to triumph over his foe." and Kurt comes back to McKinley REALLY soon.

 

[Sawyer]

There's also that.

 

[Schlosser85]

Unless they're both gonna end up coming to McKinley to face up to the bullies.

 

[Sawyer]

Then, it would most likely be Kurt's fight and Blaine just bandwagoning.

 

[Schlosser85]

Also, Murphy is giving Karofsky "sorta a happy ending", so I'm thinking he'll end up accepting himself and end up on semi-friendly terms with Kurt.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I really am doubting Blaine coming to McKinley unless they REALLY want to continue to push reality.

Are we suppose to believe Blaine's parents just are going to move to Lima because Blaine wants to go to school with his boyfriend? Or are they going to pull a repeat of Quinn where Blaine is forced to move in with someone? Or are they going to repeat Jesse (lord knows there's already enough about Klaine that screams St. Berry), and have him move in with an Uncle/relative?

My logic hat just seems to be on and I really don't think that Kurt/Blaine is as set in stone as the media believes.

 

[Schlosser85]

I realize we disagree about "Klaine", but I wouldn't overestimate Glee's dependence on logic or reality.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

That much is true. I'll give you that.

However? To get Blaine to McKinley they have to repeat themselves in either having his parents not be like Burt and kick him out? Or have another case where he just by miracle has a relative in Lima like Jesse, or the REALLY unbelieveable thing.

''I talked to my parents and they are uprooting their lives just for you and me, Kurt!"

No, just no.

 

[Sawyer]

Well, have they ever said how far Dalton actually is from McKinley?

It's in Westerville. McKinley is in Lima.

Well, it's not like Dalton is a school exclusively for gays where people run to in order to hide from the world. They still get out and interact with the community at large. The school is simply a more safer environment for Blaine and Kurt to express who they are and not feel like they need to hide their sexuality a la Karofsky. Sometimes, running/walking away is an acceptable compromise when one's own safety is at stake.

Also, Murphy is giving Karofsky "sorta a happy ending", so I'm thinking he'll end up accepting himself and end up on semi-friendly terms with Kurt.

I don't see that happening (and I hope it doesn't). Karofsky is a bully, regardless of whether he is gay or not. His homosexuality was not the determining factor. Personally, I like the idea of (antagonistic) characters being able to come to terms with their inner demons and not be suddenly miraculously cured of being a *****e.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

However the message of Kurt's storyline this year isn't ''RUN AWAY!". That's not very empowering at all.

 

[Sawyer]

It's in Westerville. McKinley is in Lima.

Christ, that is far. I'm surprised Burt and Carole even let Kurt transfer there.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Right?!

So that means if Blaine moves to McKinley he either has to be kicked out by his parents or have a relative there. Because I just can't buy his parents moving there, quitting their jobs, getting new ones, just so Blaine can finally face his demons and have sookie sookie with Kurt. Not buying that at all if it happens.

well while most kids don't have the luxury of changing schools to more accepting ones, i still think it's inspiring in the sense of "it gets better". I feel both kurt and blaine (especially as a couple) would be extremely inspiring, but kurt really does need to come back to mckinnely (which he will).

as for blaine and his location... I think it's pretty safe to assume that Dalton is a "live in" school. we've seen scenes of kurt just "casually" hanging around in the school, and with his and finn's parents still living in lima, the traveling to dalton each morning would be a bit daunting.

so who's to say where blaine's parents live? and why would blaine have to go to the same school as kurt? i know plenty of people in highschool who dated people at other schools.

 

[Schlosser85]

And Will drives all the way there to ask Kurt for shopping advice.

All good points. I get the distinct impression Dalton is a boarding school, otherwise Kurt wouldn't just be hanging out there studying all hours of the day (and Blaine too), so just because Blaine goes to Dalton doesn't mean his family lives in Westerville.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

it's kinda sad the lack of thinking for ohio authenticity they gave the show glee... Lima's a dump and would never have a school anything close to the one on glee...

it would have been far more logical to have the show set in one of the suburb areas around columbus or dayton. It's kinda like they're just randomly throwing darts at places on an ohio map and that's about all the thought they put into it.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

But then again if Blaine stays at Dalton while Kurt remains at McKinley that also conflicts and make Ryan Murphy a jackass and a hypocrit for saying he was going to treat Kurt's relationship equal to everyone else's and have him and his boyfriend have much as on screen attention and cute scenes alongside Finn/Rachel and the other Glee relationships and that there would be nothing like Cam and Mitchell who he felt aren't treated as equal on Modern Family as Gloria/Jay and Phil/Claire.

But who knows what the **** goes on in that man's mind.

 

[Schlosser85]

Yea, I think the loosely defined distance between Lima and Westerville, considering Will just drives over one night to ask Kurt shopping advice, is one of those "details" you're not supposed to think about too in depth, like Sue and Will's seemingly limitless budgets for their cheerleading/musical performances, Kurt's wardrobe of designer clothes when his father's a blue-collar mechanic, the piano guy who just appears whenever anyone starts singing, and the fact that Blaine apparently hands out headshots to his admirers if Kurt's locker is any indication.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Hahaha. Jesse did that with Rachel too. She already had a picture of him by the end of the first episode meeting him.

 

[Schlosser85]

That one scene in "Furt" I couldn't concentrate on the scene because Kurt's locker was open and that ridiculous headshot was in the background.

I found it inordinately amusing.

he's on crack if he doesn't think cam and mitchell get enough screen time... this season i think they've gotten more then anyone else... honestly they and sophia verga are the 3 funniest characters on the show...

also... i don't really see how that might constitute less screen time.. sure they wont be at the same school, or in glee practice, but there is always after school stuff... i honestly sadly don't see him becoming a regular on the show, but Blurt can still get alot of air time... just not in school
