** He has tried the former, didn't work. The latter well, that probably won't work as Sue already has a media outlet of her own and as she told him earlier "Everyone loves a martyr." It would simply be far too easy for her to spin it around into a personal attack on her, giving her even more ammo to use against him.

* If Rachel and Kurt were so determined to attend Juilliard, how could they not know that it didn't have a musical theater program? I'd understand if they were just casually interesting, but they seemed pretty dedicated to the idea. Surely people like Rachel and Kurt would've tried to learn everything they could about it.

** Whatever trope they were using in the season 2 finale seems to be in place here, ie, Rachel not knowing that Cats was no longer being performed. I can't for the life of me guess what that trope would be though. It's just too strange to be simple [[Rule of Funny]].

*** With Rachel and Kurt, I get the impression that they make out that they know a lot more than they actually do. They're both extroverted people who always want to be the centre of attention, and with the gift of the gab you can make anyone believe just about anything by sheer confidence alone. The example about Rachel not knowing that Cats was no longer being run is a good example, she might know the show, the songs, but she doesn't know that it actually doesn't run anymore. It shows how young they are, really.

** More to the point, why couldn't they just apply to the drama program? Tons of stage actors who have gained popularity in musical theatre have done that. There's no reason to be that dedicated to the idea of a specifically musical-theatre program.

* The show treats Blaine's transferring unforgivably casually. In the case of Blaine, how can nothing but a romantic relationship with a peer (gay or straight) factor in your decision to transfer schools? What about academics, the possible loss of credits, or the possibility of harrassment for being gay? If his parents sent him to Dalton for a reason, what would cause them to undo that reason so suddenly. Guidance counselors typically advise students not to choose colleges based on where your boyfriend or girlfriend is going because you might break up or because if the relationship is meant to happen, it should sustain the distance. Keep in mind, the two high schools are in the same town.

** But as of 3x09 we know (but then again we don't) that he has financial issues. The scene where he gives his present to Kurt and explains it will be in the DVDs, so it's official. And this troper finds it likely that Blaine's economic problems will be brought up again in the show ''at least'' as a minor plot point/arc, if not a major one. So, could this be a case of [[Fridge Brillance]], since we know Dalton is very expensive? Maybe he really wanted to go to McKinley because of his love for Kurt, but that also came at just the right time as he needed to transfer to a more affordable school?

* Isn't there a choir department or something that could teach Sugar how to sing? There's zero arts budget?

** They haven't mentioned it again since his first appearance but originally they said that Sam was dyslexic and that he struggled with his grades so it's entirely possible that he was held back a year in school before they figured out that he had a learning disorder, in which case he would be 18 and still a Junior. Or, y'know it was a complete [[Ass Pull]] so that they were only graduating half of the Glee Club instead of most of it.
