Line 369:
***** Actually, {{spoiler|rock salt has the effect of making ice 'colder', and thus melt slower. What Sebastian actually intended was for Kurt to get an extra-extra-cold slushie to the face}}, and thus the whole {{spoiler|prank gone wrong}} confession later on. Kudos to his understanding of chemistry though.
** Blaine's actions in Season 3, committing bad acts yet never thinking of apologizing or letting others take the blame has shades of this.
* [[Strangled by the Red String]] / [[Last-Minute Hookup]]: How more cynical viewers saw it when Kurt and Blaine got together in "Original Song", feeling the scene was sappy and inconsistent with Blaine's previous characterization. ManyOthers saw it as something the show had been building to for quite a while, although within them is a subgroup who feels that while their pairing up was to be expected from a [[Watsonian Versus Doylist|Doylist]] perspective, it happened in a way that was premature for their characterization from a [[Watsonian Versus Doylist|Watsonian]] perspective, resulting in an early [[Shipping Bed Death]]. [[Rule of Cautious Editing JudgmentJudgement|And that's all that needs to be said about that.]].
** Kurt and Blaine's storyline in the last season. After breaking up off-screen because they apparently couldn't stand each other when living together (admittedly an [[Ass Pull]] in its own right), the get dragged back together by what can be seen as in-universe fan-ex machina. First by Sue Sylvester, who turns out to be a psychotic Klaine fan and her shipper tactics include kidnapping and rape threats. Then they get convinced to get married alongside Santana and Brittany. And what is done about their so serious relationship problems that caused the break-up in the first place? That's right, nothing. To drive the point that Kurt and Blaine belong to each other home, Brittany includes - in her own wedding vows, no less - thanks to them for their inspiring path of pursuing his love and living with his sexuality that helped her, Brittany to come to terms with hers. (Never mind, that Brittany might be the only queer character in the series who never displayed any angst over her sexuality and her interest in Kurt's only appeared briefly in the first season when she was his beard.)
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Even if Sue's techniques are not the most correct, she is almost always proven right.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]:
** The point gets lost in his over-the-top maliciousness, but Bryan Ryan's argument that the Glee Club kids shouldn't plan their lives around succeeding in show business isn't an unreasonable one - but there's a big difference between saying that they should have a back-up plan and his belief that they should abandon ''all'' hope of success in the arts before getting any idea of what their chances really are.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]:* Even if Sue's techniques are not the most correct, she is almost always proven right.
** There is a grain of truth in Bryan Ryan's notion that kids shouldn't plan their lives around succeeding in the arts. The problem is that he doesn't stop at "have a back-up plan," but suggests that they should just give up without having any idea of what their chances are.
** At least one of the Tea Party members in "Homecoming" talks sense, when she says that Puck shouldn't call them losers if he wants them to listen to them.
* [[Squick]]: Perhaps not for everyone, but Figgins getting sneezed on in slow motion was perhaps a little Squick-y for some.
* [[Super Couple]]: Blaine and Kurt are listed on the trope page; for starters, their first kiss caused pretty much the entire LGBT-friendly world to rejoice, and with very good reason.
