SO.
SO.
GUYS.
SO. GLEE DID THIS:
AND I KNOW 95% OF EVERYONE SAW IT COMING BUT I REALLY DIDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL KURT SANG "BLACKBIRD" AND OH MY GOD BLAINE'S FACE AWNEWJNLW.
Just, wow. Darren Criss. It's been a long time since I last saw an actor express so much by changing his/her expression so little. That long hold on his reaction was gorgeous. The kiss itself was incredible, but the look of, in Blaine's words, "Oh, there you are," was so touching.
And can we talk about how beautiful that line is? It's not original, it's almost a cliche, but it's such a simple and simultaneously profound feeling, I imagine. To be around someone and not realize until one moment that you feel more than you thought you did.
Oh, Blaine. Oh, Kurt.
His expression throughout Blaine's confession was so careful and guarded and really almost cynical, and I empathized so much with him in that scene. Because you hear something like that, something you wanted to hear so badly, and you can't believe you're getting what you want and you don't even think about reacting because you're just internalizing it, focused on believing it's even happening.
And the duet. I have it on repeat and man, Chris Colfer's voice. Whenever that boy sings, I'm always touched by how clear and sweet his tenor is. ♥
Glee was losing me by focusing on all the Quinn/Finn/Rachel noise (I'm not kidding, is anyone actually invested in that trifecta of boring anymore? I've never talked to anyone who cares about any pairing within that love triangle--I love them all separately, but they're just so dull and this new thing with Quinn focusing on being Popular again? We covered this last year, writers, and it was boring then, too. So, yeah, pass), but this episode and "Sexy" have fully recaptured me. I think Glee's best when it focuses on the group dynamic instead of individual characters.
However, that said, I'm going to do a heel-face-turn and say, BLAINE AND KURT ♥
I can't believe it happened, and I don't know how long it'll last, but God, that was perfect, and I couldn't be happier with Glee right now.
