Line 96:
*** My reaction to hearing Blaine say he's a Junior caused me to let out a [[Flat What]], but I have a possible explanation - if Blaine's bounced around between schools (Dalton, [[Mc Kinley]], and it seems like he went to a different school before Dalton), credit requirements may have been different enough to leave him behind a year. It's an imperfect solution, of course, but it's keeping my blood pressure under control.
*** Or his Sadie Hawkin's Dance was a bit more than just a few punches. Serious time in a hospital could have been reason enough to keep him back a year.
* Quinn's "development" feels like an [[Ass Pull]] to me. I have a hard time believing this is what the writers were planning when they wrote Quinn in season two. Seems like they just didn't know what to do with her, so they [[Pandering to Thethe Base|pandered to the fandom]] and brought Beth back.
** It is interesting to note that her development seems to be mirroring Puck's. In season two he started being less of a jerk, settled down with a steady girlfriend, and started taking more responsibility for his actions. Then in season three we see that his grades are also improving too and he is willing to work with Shelby and abide by her wishes in order to be a part of Beth's life. Quinn on the other hand has refused to acknowledge any of her own wrongdoing and starting this season she starts acting out and behaving irresponsibly (a lot like season 1 Puck) and plans on taking Beth away from Shelby any way she can.
* It feels to me like they are using WAAY less music this season. I think this episode only had 3 or 4 songs. Last season they were averaging 8.
Line 120:
*** And the real difference here is that Beiste was being criticized for just being who she was. Kurt, on the other hand, was auditioning for a role that he didn't fit. It's like comparing a girl who gets teased for being short with a girl who is told she's too short to play Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Beiste isn't saying that there is anything wrong with Kurt being semi-feminine, she's just saying that he doesn't fit the part (and doesn't have the acting skills to fit the part). Sorry, but if you're auditioning for a play, it is expected that the director will critique your audition. And "can't play a manly-man role convincingly" is a valid critique. Pointing out the ways in which a person isn't right for a part in a play is not at all the same as making fun of a person.
* Oh Kurt. You auditioned for Tony, the street tough Romeo [[Expy]], with a flipping Streisand song? Really? I'm glad you didn't get the part. You're too dumb. <ref>If you're auditioning for a male romantic lead, at the VERY LEAST pick a song originally sung by a male. We know you're a contratenor, Kurt, now prove you can hit Tony's low notes too. This is common sense. It's completely legitimate not to cast Kurt based on an audition like that and I thought the directors were way too nice about him.</ref>
** Agreed. Kurt picking a ''Streisand'' song to audition for the role of a straight leading man made no sense whatsoever. While he certainly has every right to act [[Camp Gay]] if he desires, it still comes across that he has issues with being masculine in ways that Beiste does not. To my knowledge, he has only performed songs by male artists 3 times in the entire series. And even then, the Springsteen cover was during his "straight" phase, and the two Beatles songs sounded more like the ''[[Across the Universe (Filmfilm)|Across the Universe]]'' versions that were performed by women.
 
 
Line 589:
** Really? I like Sebastian, he's like a Sue Sylvester with 90% less all-talk. I sincerely hope he's in Season 4.
** How are they getting rid of him? Regionals is still at least three episodes away.
*** (OP here) Yeah, but they were pushing the Sebastian-wants-Blaine angle hard, and they just shot it in the face all at once. He may still be around, but it will be as a villain that ND is going to beat (potentially in some quirky and unexpected way that showcases ''the power of love'') and then he'll just [[Put Onon a Bus|disappear]]. What I meant to express wasn't so much getting rid of the character as slitting the throat of his main plotline.
** The way I understood it was that they needed an explanation for why Blaine would be gone because [[Darren Criss]] is going to be in a movie. But if that's not the case, I'm very confused indeed.
** Actually, it's because he had to go do a three-week run of [[How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying]] on Broadway.
