Line 48:
* 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 [[Mc Kinley]].
* 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|he thinks it's normal]]'' [[I Thought Everyone Could Do That|to constantly sing duets with one particular person, spend an indecent amount of time with them, and be all touchy-feely.]]
** 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.
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.
Line 150:
** Basically, he's bribing him to come out of the closet.
* During the Bills, Bills, Bills performance someone is sitting outside the window in a black hoodie and pants similar to those of the Dalton uniform. At the football game Karofsky is wearing a black hoody and pants similar to those of the Dalton uniform...
* Everyone already knows about the [[Forceful Kiss|incident]] with Kurt and Karofsky, but I've just realized that Kurt's already-understandable terror has another reason: Kurt was alone in a locker room with an [[Armored Closet Gay]] who constantly bullies him and ''far'' overpowers him. If this had happened after school, or if Karofsky had been pushed just a little farther, things could have gotten ''[[Rape As Drama|infinitely]] [[Family
** I doubt it. Karofsky backed off and left after a single push. The kiss seemed more like a cry for help or a spur of the moment thing. YMMV though.
** Kurt would have no way of knowing that, though. He's not psychic.
Line 164:
* Now Rachel is annoying enough to have only few friends but considering how homophobic the general school population is and how open Rachel is about her two gay dad's and it seems pretty likely that homophobia is a big part in her being an outcast.
* Upon watching The First Time, an episode about... well [[Their First Time|Blaine and Kurt's first time]], this troper had a cross of fridge horror and [[Harsher in Hindsight]] thinking back on the scene where Blaine tells Burt to give Kurt the talk during the car scene. You know - the one where he says "He'll be at a party, have too much to drink, meet some guy and they'll start fooling around..." Blaine needs to listen to himself next time!
* ''[[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".
Line 221:
* Now I'm not too familiar with how a show choir is run, but you'd think for a big and formal event like Nationals, Will would have had to turn in a set list ''ages'' before they even got to New York. How did they get away with performing two completely original songs that they wrote the day before the competition? Dustin, the Nationals expert, would've obviously done this well in advance (hell, he's probably been writing original songs since he heard them at Regionals), but there's no indication of them even knowing what they were going to do until they actually started writing.
** <ref> I've actually seen that as a fairly common complaint about the finale, and with good reason. That was pretty suckish work ethic.</ref> It's [[Glee]]. The show thrives on [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]]. Admittedly, though,, it was very unrealistic. Really, Glee, we know these kids are talented and everything, but a show choir competition [[Did Not Do the Research|does not work that way]].
* If Jesse isn't an only child (he mentions a [[Big Screwed
** They could be grown. His parents being away implies Jesse was probably rooming at Carmel or had a relative near there and went to his uncle's when he switched to [[Mc Kinley]]. If they aren't grown, they could have chosen to go to with their parents or made the choice to go to a different boarding school/live with a different relative. In a bit of [[Fridge Horror]], his sister could be in treatment, voluntarily or otherwise, for her eating disorder (I don't remember if he said she was anorexic or bulimic).
* Quinn is only blonde because she dyes her hair, but during her pregnancy, she has the same shade of hair as before she was pregnant, meaning she still dyed her hair while she was pregnant, even though you're not supposed to dye your hair while you're pregnant.
