Line 9:
** The judges at Regionals have petty, personal reasons to vote ''against'' ND. It seems unjust, but it's actually a callback to how they got to win Sectionals; the judges voted ''for'' them for petty personal reasons.
* Burt's acceptance of his son's homosexuality is more than a father's love, when talking about music, he said he "Doesn't know how this music stuff works, I'm pretty exclusively committed to my Mellencamp collection." Now this is more than a manly man talking about his love of country rock and ignorance of other genres, John Mellencamp is a very liberal guy, so it stands to reason that Burt is also fairly liberal, making his acceptance just as much a personal belief as a show of his love.
* In Episode 7, Quinn tells Sue that Will flunked the Cheerios in Spanish and that the squad is now academically ineligible to participate, but behind her, you can see Brittany and Santana stretching. Quinn is stated to be a straight-A student, and [s]we don't know anything about Santana's grades[s] Santana's pretty clearly fluent in Spanish, but Brittany, a girl who in the same episode, ''in Will's Spanish class,'' tries to cheat off of Quinn in the middle of an ''open-book test''? Well, if she failed Spanish, she'd be ineligible for all afterschool clubs...including Glee.
* Why did the "...Baby One More Time" music video homage have such bad lip syncing? Because the original one did!
* Why did Rachel seem to be over-acting during the "Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again" duet? Because it was a re-enactment of Streisand and Garland's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYpcFHtxm60 original video].
Line 35:
* Another [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Portmanteau Sibling Duo Name]] for Kurt and Finn is "[[Stealth Pun|Kinn]]". (As in kin or kinfolk. Family.)
* Somewhere between [[Fridge Brilliance]] and [[Fridge Horror]]. Finn's treatment of Rachel while dating her seemed pretty bad, and made him look rather unsympathetic - namely, his tendency to highlight her flaws, or agree when other people (including Rachel herself) did so. In "A Very Glee Christmas" he states he's only had two girlfriends - Quinn and Rachel. Think back to his relationship with Quinn. She was ''constantly'' insulting him for being insensitive, weak-willed, and more than anything stupid. And this is where Finn's barometer for relationship dynamics lies. He doesn't ''get'' that being callous about a partner's flaws is wrong. It actually makes a decent [[Freudian Excuse]].
* Phonetically, Quinn's name is very close to "queen", probably intentionally. While she's giving birth, what band's music do we hear? Queen.
* Why didn't Kurt sing lead on "Silly Love Songs" at his Lonely Hearts Club dinner, since he organized the event and loves the spotlight? Because Blaine had mentioned earlier that he's better at singing about his feelings than talking about them. And Blaine had just been romantically rejected. Kurt's trying to cheer his friend up by letting him sing!
* Blaine's last name is Anderson. Blaine is a positive role model for gay teenagers, who is comfortable in his sexuality, sees it as no big deal, and is handsome. Who else is like this? ''Anderson'' Cooper.
** Completely intentional, because as of the episode ''Big Brother'', his older brother is introduced - and his name? Cooper.
* In Blame on the alcohol, Kurt is the only kid that isn't drinking by choice (Finn is the designated driver), apparently to impress Blaine, except that Blaine is himself quite wasted already. "The Rhodes not taken" shows that he can't quite hold his liquor without humiliating results.
* While Rachel and Blaine kiss during Spin the Bottle in "Blame it on the Alcohol", what song is playing? "Johnny, Are You Queer" by Josie Cotton.
** Even more obvious in the Dutch subtitles. Background music usually doesn't get translated, but these lyrics were.
* In Blame it on the alcohol, Rachel acts like a self-centered bitch. She even goes on a date with a boy of whom she knows that one of her friends - Kurt - likes him. Which is pretty strange considering that it is some kind of unwritten rule for girls to not take boys out which are "already" claimed by their friends. The friends, if they have already told you about the crush, which Kurt did in Silly Love Songs and probably even before that, have the first rights. When thinking about Rachel's friendless background, you can understand this. She has never learned this kind of stuff from her friends...
** Well, only if you assume that she's never in her life read a book or watched a movie or television series, too.
*** She might have thought that it was over-acted, like most high school tv series or books. Otherwise, she just IS a self-centered bitch.
* The initials of Sue Sylvester are SS. Her parents are Nazi hunters, so they hunt people from the SS.
* Many criticized Will's compliments to Karofsky in 'The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle', but it was actually a good move on his part, because he understood that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, and that if Karofsky got more self-confident, he would most probably stop his bullying ways, paving the way for Kurt's return to McKinley.
* Rachel has two dads. This parallels Rachel's sister, Beth, who technically has two moms (Shelby and Quinn).
* Rachel revealed that she was named after Rachel Green from [[Friends]]. What is Rachel famous for on that show? Her [[Will They or Won't They?|on and off again romance]] with Ross. What is Rachel Berry now going through with Finn? The exact same thing!
* While Blaine claiming that he's clueless at romance seems out of the blue and an [[Foregone Conclusion|unsuccessful attempt to throw everyone off Klaine's trail]], it actually follows how someone with a complete lack of social skills would act--''[[I Thought Everyone Could Do That
** And this also explains his borderline [[Tastes Like Diabetes|cringe-inducing]] declaration of love to Kurt in Original Song. He tries so hard to be romantic, and ends up over the top.
* Kurt's prediction of Rachel's [[Fag Hag|unfortunate future in romance]] in "Blame it on the Alcohol" is probably right on the money. They say girls tend to go after men like their father(s), after all.
Line 55:
* In the episode "Sexy" which came right before Blaine's [[Love Epiphany]] and the Kurt/Blaine kiss, the warblers sing "animal" by [[Neon Trees]], which features the line, "I kinda wanna be more than friends".
** Looking at lyrics from the episod where the [[Love Epiphany]] happens - the Warblers do Misery by Maroon5, which contains the line, "It's not that I didn't care, it's that I didn't know, it's not what I didn't feel, it's what I didn't show." Perfect choice for the guy who's been [[Love Epiphany|looking for Kurt forever and is just realizing it]], no?
*** Even better - in "Teenage Dream," we get the line - granted, cut from the episode, but in the song - "I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece." How did Blaine finally tell Kurt he liked him? "Kurt, there is a moment where you say to yourself 'Oh, there you are! I've been looking for you forever!'"
*** And in the first verse of "Misery", Blaine is effectively - if unknowingly - recapping Kurt's perspective on Blaine and on their relationship up to that point for the benefit of the audience ("So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend / I wrote two hundred letters I would never send..."), setting up the enormous change that's about to occur when Blaine finally [[Love Epiphany|wakes up to his own feelings]].
* Why does McKinley respond positively to New Direction's performances? Because all of them are sexy. They don't care about the Glee Club, they're just turned on because ''everyone in New Directions is hot''. That's why they're still on the bottom of the high school food chain(though at this point, it doesn't really matter to them).
Line 61:
* When I first heard the original songs, I was mildly disappointed by how simple the music was. (Both songs they performed at regionals have ridiculously simplistic chord structures.) But then I realized that these were the first songs these kids have ever written. No wonder the music is simple.
* During the spin the bottle game in "Blame It on the Alcohol", Santana gets pretty pissed when Brittany and Sam kiss. Knowing what we know now about her [[Les Yay|relationship with Brittany]], one wonders which of them she was jealous of.
* Many people took Finn telling Sean he'd come by in a couple of weeks as him not being much of a friend, pointing out that Rachel decided to come every week. However, Finn's mother, at the time, was a single parent, he had horrible luck finding a job, and until recently, he was likely spending all his money on helping Quinn with what he thought was his baby. If Sean lives in another town, Finn didn't have the money for bus fare to go on a regular basis or have the gas money to do so. Carole isn't going to have much money for him to go or the time to drive him on a regular basis. Rachel, on the other hand, comes from a more financially secure family. She can afford to find a way to get to Sean's house one day a week or more.
* I realize most people probably saw this right away, but due to me hoping Blaine and Kurt wouldn't become a couple, I didn't. Teenage Dream foreshadowed their relationship. A nice, cool guy who shares common interests with Kurt and wants to kiss and hold hands is Kurt's dream for romance.
* It's already been noticed that the Warblers were total [[Shipper on Deck|Shippers on Deck]] for Kurt/Blaine - what with stopping their bickering as soon as they found out that Blaine wanted to do some [[Duet Bonding]] with Kurt - but I just noticed how much they seem to ship them. If you look at the choreography for "Raise Your Glass" the two of them are almost always, when they're just standing, not moving to other parts of the stage, either next to each other or right behind one another.
Line 82:
*** Actually, I assumed it was supposed to be a duet between Mercedes and Kurt, who were both not running, but because Kurt had to dance Santana stepped up to sing his part - 'helping' him, like Brittany told her to.
* The dresses the girls wore at the Prom were a piece of brilliance too. Tina's gown is obviously a gothic gown, so no suprise here. Rachel's gown is no fashion disaster, as you would have expected if you saw her owl sweaters in season one. This probably shows her developing friendship with Kurt. The gown, is, however, not the right color for her. A dark green gown would have suited her brunette hair much better - probably an expression of their friendship not being all the way yet. Quinn's gown. Baby (!) blue with lots of tulle. Although it seems, at first glance a nice little dress, if you look better, most of it leaves her body rather uncovered, without the little tulle bands on her shoulders, it would have been strapless - there are more, not so sweet sides to her. Mercedes' dress, purple complemented her skin, looked nice... But most brilliant were Santana's and Brittany's dresses. Santana (Satan) was clad completely in red. Brittany's dress was the only short one (that I noticed) in the bunch. It had limegreen upperskirts and red underskirts, which I thought would clash. They didn't. It just looked great and very playfull, just like the little had. But the uttermost brilliant was the fact that the red underskirts and shoes tied her to two persons; Santana AND Artie, who were both completely dressed in red.
** Could also be a case of, with Rachel and Quinn at least, [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]] - Rachel is the [[Red Oni]], Quinn is the [[Blue Oni]], so pink and blue are perfect.
*** That would make more sense than my 'wrong color' explanation.
* In "Prom Queen," Rachel wears her hair in a more-or-less curly [[Hime Cut]] - straight-cut bangs with curly tendrils framing her face (and the rest of her hair in a curly ponytail in the back), and it's seen a lot when she sings "Jar of Hearts" to Finn. We've seen her sport this style at least twice before: Once, in "Auditions," where Rachel assures Finn that she will never break up with him (and he answers "Me neither," hence the "You broke all your promises" line). In "Furt," Rachel's hair is styled this way again when she tells Finn that she didn't sleep with Jesse in "The Power of Madonna" - and Finn could've told her the truth about sleeping with Santana right there and then, but he didn't. And all this - having constant eye contact with Finn, Jesse staring in the background - is hanging in the air as she finishes the song. ("Who do you think you are?")
Line 88:
** Random thought: What are the odds that Santana's twentieth time was with Brittany?
* A sad hybrid of brilliance and horror: After returning from New York, when Kurt and Blaine were sitting in the coffee shop and {{spoiler|Blaine tells Kurt he loves him, why does Kurt suddenly freeze and not freak out in true romantic fashion, as we would've expected from the boy who's ''finally'' found the perfect guy?}} When Kurt and Rachel finished singing [[Wicked (theatre)|"For Good"]] earlier in the episode, {{spoiler|they decided that Broadway was their one true love.}}
** Um, not exactly? Watch the scene again; {{spoiler|''Rachel'' says that she doesn't need to choose between Broadway and love because Broadway is her true love. Rachel is, in fact, the only one who says this.}} The only reason they were even on the stage was because Kurt brought them there so ''Rachel'' could work out what she really wants in life. She needed to make a choice between Finn and her career because she saw the two as mutually exclusive. Kurt, meanwhile, clearly stated that he'd talked about the future with Blaine and they wanted to be together in New York. It wasn't "Blaine ''or'' Broadway", it was "Blaine ''AND'' Broadway." So {{spoiler|why did Kurt "freeze" when Blaine said the magic three words}}? Let's break it down. He wasn't expecting something of that emotional magnitude seconds after he was nonchalantly describing how wonderful being able to go to New York was (would you?), plus he's an insecure teen who's been in love with Blaine for most of the season and was probably surprised to hear {{spoiler|that Blaine felt as strongly as he did and expressed it before Kurt did}}, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|plus he had a mouth full of coffee when Blaine said it]].
** So... yeah, you probably weren't being serious about rewatching the scene, but I did, and you're right. [[Sincerity Mode|Thank you, by the way]]-- I really was upset about that scene, and you explained it perfectly. I guess I was just expecting something different and misinterpreted it.
* In Funeral, part of Sue's speech is asking why she couldn't have a measly ten seconds to just hold her sister again. Later, she asks Becky to hug her, not just because Becky reminds her of her sister, but because she's holding her sister one last time.
* Why do all the gay guys get the hottest chicks? Well, in one instance, it's because the hottest chick blackmailed him. Couldn't have thought of a better way to rile Finn up, eh, Dave?
** Not really fridge brilliance... but isn't it a little amusing that Karofsky's [[The Beard|beard]] is in love with his crush's [Kurt] ex-beard [Brittany]?
* In Silly Love Songs, when Blaine first comes up to Kurt to tell him about the emergency meeting of the Warblers, Kurt is doodling a giant heart with their names in it but makes the excuse that he's "daydreaming" and plotting "wicked" outfits. Ten episodes later, when Blaine tells Kurt he loves him, it's right after he mentions singing on the stage of, guess what, [[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]].
Line 109:
*** OP: Yeah, I believe they do (even though I'm all up for Pezberry). But her relationship with Brittany WAS her main storyline. Down here is part of this fridge brilliance, though.
They practically sum up whole of the second-season-Santana's storylines and might even foreshadow her season three storylines. The girl poured out her heart on stage, finally telling what was/is bothering her - remember, they wrote the song herself - and ends up {{spoiler|losing Nationals - and loosing it HARD}}. Who wouldn't be mad? And seeing as she is not the person to blame herself, or the whole Glee Club, who does she end up blaming? Rachel, who is already the black sheep but WAS {{spoiler|kissed by Finn}} and did not start out.
*** I took the reason she was so angry at Finn to be because she tells Quinn "This is our only chance to actually feel good about ourselves." Not you, ours. And because of Finn and Rachel, they lost that chance.
* This one's kind of subtle and possibly less fridge brilliance and more "kudos to the set decorator:" in the background of Rumours when we see Kurt at his locker it's clear he still has his "Courage" sign up right under his picture of Blaine. The brilliance hits when Rachel comes up and accuses him of cheating on Blaine; Kurt calmly gives her his lecture on her needing to stop the "vicious, hurtful, hateful gossip," before walking away but if you notice, the c, o and u are covered up by a picture of the Warblers. Kurt's so mad even his locker says "rage!"
* When Kurt is singing Blackbird in "Original Song" he repeats the lyric near the end "You've been only waiting for the moment to arise" while the camera is focused on a smiling Blaine. Later, when Blaine is giving his [[Love Epiphany|Love Epiphany Speech]] to Kurt he says "There is a moment when you say to yourself..." It is a subtle, but powerful connection to the song, making them tie in together.
Line 119:
* During the [[Imagine Spot]] performance of [[Dreamgirls|It's All Over]], the girls in the Glee Club wear red sequin dresses, while the boys wear grey suits...except Kurt, who wears a red sequined suit. At first glance it seems like it's just him being a queen, unless his role in that scene is to channel Jimmy "Thunder" Early (even if he sings Laurel's part in a [[Narm|narmy]] falsetto), who wore suits like that over the course of the play/movie.
** Kurt's actually wearing grey pants and a pink sequinned jacket in the same shade as the girls' dresses. This is because Mercedes, whose [[Imagine Spot]] it is, has always considered Kurt to be 'one of the (Dream)girls' - up to this sequence, in which she accuses him siding with stepbrother Finn and turning on her.
* A combination of this and [[Fridge Horror]] - after finding out that Emma's parents are "Ginger Supremacists," it wouldn't be a stretch to think that back in Born This Way she was perhaps legitimately at some point ashamed of her red hair and the shirt, which seemed like just a way for her to not admit her OCD, becomes... rather more sensible, shall we say.
* Kurt's bouquet for Blaine is actually a source of [[Fridge Brilliance]] if you look at the colors. He picked a mix of pink and yellow roses. Pink roses have traditionally been symbolic of love, gratitude and appreciation - perfect for an "I'm sorry I was a diva, your audition was awesome" gift. Yellow's tradtional meaning in the Victorian era mixed with its modern meaning makes them even more perfect - in the Victorian period, yellow symbolized jealousy. Kurt was certainly jealous of Blaine to a point - but the modern meaning is one of joy, admiration, and friendship, and Kurt definitely seemed to be ready to eat crow because he knew how much Blaine deserves this part because he admires him. The balance of love and friendship in the bouquet is also really great.
* A lot of people, this troper included, thought that Mike's segment of the It's All Over performance was going to go to Blaine, being new to the New Directions and not having seen most of the... torrential sides of the club yet. Then Mike pops up... who just started singing well ''that very episode.'' He's talking about how he's just joined the vocal ranks, which are far more competitive than the footwork ranks!
Line 125:
** That's what I found brilliant about the show, personally. In shows portraying high school, it tends to be either "The nerds are beautiful people and the popular kids are total tools" or "the popular kids are sparkly and the nerds are creepy loners." With ''[[Glee]]'', however, it's essentially "everyone is a douche and/or kind of stupid in high school, but that's normal." Which is kind of true. That (along with other clues) leads to why Mr. Schuester, while a decent guy, is so incredibly clueless and immature; ''he never mentally left high school''. -Simplefaith
** ''Much'' more specific bit of ''[[Glee]]'' Fridge Brilliance: in ''Dreams'', after Artie's Safety Dance [[Flashmob]] scene is shown to be [[All Just a Dream]], Tina brings him a hot pretzel. It being ''specifically'' a hot pretzel is the brilliance - mall food courts tend to be in a prime location on the main level. Auntie Anne's seems to prefer locations well away from the food court, so it makes sense that in ''this'' mall it (or a [[Writing Around Trademarks]] version) would be on an upper level away from the elevators or otherwise inconveniently placed for wheelchair access. They have someone who thinks like an internet nitpicker! -Nlpnt
** And of course, Jesse's bizarre behavior in episode 21 is easy to explain if you recall that him and Rachel are [[Birds of a Feather]]. His seemingly unreasonable actions actually mirrors Rachel's pre-[[Character Development]]; a total Primadonna who's use to getting his way and throws a hissy fit and walks out on the group when he feels he didn't get the respect he deserved. It's just [[Played for Drama]] because he's supposed to be the villain compared to Rachel, who is arguably the protagonist (along with Finn and Will). That, coupled with the fact that his defection ''to'' New Directions was all and act in the first place, it's not a surprise that his [[Jerkass|jerkassness]] seemed to come out of nowhere.
** Puck keeps calling himself a stud, and he totally is. Because you know what studs are for: ''breeding''. animeHrmIne
** Another great Puck moment - at one point, he offers Quinn all of his money to help support her baby. He gives her eighteen dollars. It's funny, but funnier when you realize that Puck is Jewish, and that eighteen is a Jewish lucky number (in Gematria, a Jewish table of turning letters into numbers, 18 equals the word "Hai", meaning "living" or "alive"), especially when giving gifts of money. Most bar mitzvah kids, for example, get a lot of $18 and $36 checks in their cards.
Line 132:
* The credit needs to go to whoever noticed it first on the main ''[[Glee]]'' page, but what is the only song in "Britney/Brittany" that isn't originally by Britney Spears? Why, it's... "The Only Exception". Wow. - Doxievee
* More Fridge Tearjerker really. Drunk!Kurt's line about Bambi's mother getting shot is hilarious until you realize just why that part of the movie would make KURT cry - he lost his mother.
** Similarly for Kurt's feelings about gay porn. "I tried watching those movies once but I just got horribly depressed because those men were kids once and they had mothers and what would their mothers say? And why would you get a tattoo there?"
* In the episode "A Night of Neglect", Rachel describes herself as a neglected artist. She is, in fact, the least neglected artist on the show—and this is the first episode ever in which she doesn't sing at all. - StrangenessAndCharm
* The episode title "On My Way" has multiple meanings- 1) Rachel and Finn getting married, 2) Quinn's life getting back on track, and 3) the text Quinn sends to Rachel right before {{spoiler|she gets into a car accident.}}
Line 142:
==== [[Fridge Horror]] ====
* The Rocky Horror Glee Show is funny, but... Can you imagine Finn, Rachel, Sam, Artie and Brittany (or Tina) dressed as drags or Mike being killed by Mercedes and Mercedes being killed by Kurt? And worse: Mercedes having sex with both Finn and Rachel?
** What about the fact that, originally, Will tried to cast Kurt in Mercedes' role? [[Sarcasm Mode|That wouldn't have reopened some old wounds with Finn and Kurt.]] Not to mention the fact that they're brothers now. Again - awkward.
** There's also the fact that Sam would have had to carry [[Big Beautiful Woman|Mercedes]] over his shoulder after her death...
** The worst part has to be Will's impulsive decision to play Rocky in order to get into Emma's pants-this would involve him having to pretend to be seduced by and have sex with Rachel.
* Fridge Horror to an extent. In "Preggers," Kurt says that his father bought him a car in return not to wear flamboyant items. Later, Kurt's car is taken away because his father found a crown in Kurt's drawers. So Burt was essentially bribing Kurt to stop engaging in gay behavior.
** I think this was Burt's way of protecting Kurt a little in Lima more than anything else
** Burt ''knew'' that Kurt was gay. By taking away his flamboyant items and bribing him to quit dressing like that, he expected that Kurt would eventually stand up for himself and tell his dad that he's gay, to which Burt could ''finally'' provide the support that's been building up inside of him for 16 years.
Line 159:
** Plus, during the performance at least, he's performing for a bunch of girls. Maybe Blaine, who is more your typical [[Estrogen Bait]], had no problem with it, but Kurt is a [[Uke]] [[Bishonen]]. He is clearly not a sexual prospect for anyone in their audience, so it's hard for him to act like one.
** Or, not unlike a teenager, Kurt is okay with acting sexy and whatnot, but when it comes to the actual deed, he shies away.
* "Courage". All the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of victim-blaming and issues of possible character 180 aside, Blaine tells Kurt that the best way to deal with bullies is to confront them instead of avoiding them. However, given that Blaine knows that Karofsky is willing to use violence, and now that we know that Blaine himself was violently assaulted as a result of homophobic bullying, his advice of "Courage" turns from a well-meaning peptalk that backfired unexpectedly into knowingly telling a lamb to pick a fight with a pack of hungry wolves.
** That is debatable. Aside from Karofsky kissing Kurt, Blaine didn't know about the exact ''type'' of bullying Kurt was dealing with. In fact, him confronting ''[[Armored Closet Gay|Karofsky]]'' about his homosexuality ''in public'' is a giant flashing neon sign that he has ''no idea'' what Karofsky is/was willing to do. Moreover, he doesn't make a big deal about the actual bullying aside from trying to help Kurt stay sane and happy, which means Kurt didn't give many specifics. Dumpster-tossing usually needs at least two people and Kurt was starting to close off during Karofsky's creepy [[Villainous Crush]] stage, so as far as Blaine knew, Karofsky himself just stuck to verbal abuse and throwing slushies at Kurt.
* While the election still sounds [[Fridge Logic|unlikely]], think about this: Karofsky and Santana based their campaign around Kurt, in essence they put him in the spotlight... even more so one could see that even Karofsky being elected as Prom King was part of the joke, they not only wanted to humiliate the gay boy, but the ''gay boy "protector."''
Line 166:
* ''[[Glee]]'', yes, ''Glee''. In one scene Kurt throws up on Emma'a shoes and it's hilarious until you realise that was an incredibly traumatising event for her. This woman can't even touch an object that has spit on it and showers 3 times a day. Any realistic scene at the hospital would have gone into [[Dude, Not Funny]] territory.
** "Oh Bambi. I cried so hard when those hunters shot your mommy." Hilarious - until you remember that Kurt's mom died when he was a kid. And then it's just heartbreaking.
* In "Extraordinary Merry Christmas" there was a lot of talk about how great Salvation Army is and how everyone should help them out and donate- but the Salvation Army is homophobic. A lot of tropers just hoped that it was teenage naivety from the characters and not support for a homophobic charity coming from the self proclaimed "gayest show on tv".
==== [[Fridge Logic]] ====
* This show runs on it.
* If each season is one school year, what happens if Glee gets more than four seasons?
** One or more of the following will happen: invoke [[Comic Book Time]], [[Geodesic Cast]], or just split up the year between two seasons.
Line 177:
* Sue could have pointed out that the cheerios also cheer for the basketball team and that, if she can somehow be made acting Principal, she can find a way to get the cheerios to cheer for whatever other sports are going on in the school. Personally, this troper thinks it would have made an interesting storyline to see cheerios!Kurt having to cheer for the hockey team.
** Don't cheerleaders automatically cheer for ''every'' sport at the school? I've seen them perform at wrestling and baseball meets as well, at least at my high school.
*** In my school, they only cheered for the football team. In a nearby bigger city, they cheered for basketball and football. Many of the schools, mine included, didn't have wrestling or hockey. Although, strangely enough, we did have a golf team, which I'm pretty sure none of the other nearby schools had.
*** Some schools have multiple cheerleading squads for multiple sports
** Beiste might be the only coach at school.
Line 192:
** Kurt has shown he knows to keep a secret, and ''it wasn't his secret to share''. Both Quinn and Kurt have demonstrated that people can trust them, as even with the nasty rumours goings on and affecting their own relationships, they never said anything, as it was Sam who should decide when and if tell anything. Plus, both had very good reasons to not tell Finn; he has been an ass to Sam most of the season.
* If Will only booked two hotel rooms: one for the girls and one for the guys, where'd he sleep?
** With the boys. If he were female, he would have slept with the girls. What I wonder is why a female teacher wasn't sent along with them to room with the girls. Although, if Kurt was allowed to sleep with the unchaperoned girls due to his sexual orientation, it does explain how he and Rachel were able to keep sneaking out.
*** I believe he did. At several times, you can see him in the background in the girls' room, I believe that he even joined in the pillowfight.
* Why did New Directions end 12th? They had to make them feel like they just missed out, so it should have been 11th; but that would have meant it would be Rachel's fault they lost because she helped Sunshine.
Line 202:
**** Being the mirror image of a star is not necissarily a good thing. Take a look at Monica Potter's resume for example.
** Stephanie J. Block did the first few workshops before Idina Menzel replaced her, so it's possible in this universe SJB opened the show.
** Logical fallacy. Within the show universe, Shelby and April are real people, not fictional characters played on a TV show by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, so the fact that Shelby and April exist does ''not'' have to mean that Idina and Kristin don't.
* On that note, who originally sang "Still Got Tonight?"
** Emma definitely said something about John Stamos at one point; does she ever notice that her husband looks just like him?
Line 209:
** It's interesting that when a actual person is mention that person will come on the show as a character. Emma mention John Stamos, we get Carl, Neil Patrick Harris is mentioned we get Bryan Ryan and Gwenyth Platrow is mentioned we get Holly.
*** Holly talks about Lindsay Lohan to her Spanish class - and who turns out to be a guest judge at Nationals the next year?
* Show choirs grouping the rooms by sexual orientation poses many an interesting question:
** If Santana were out of the closet, would they make her sleep in the guys' room even though she's been sexually involved with Puck, Finn, and possibly Sam?
** If they knew Brittany was bisexual, where would she sleep?
