Son, I am disappoint.
Okay, so I'm really going to try to not be a Debbie Downer about last night's Glee finale, but...to say that I was left unsatisfied after watching it is the understatement of the century.
So the number one thing that bugs me: Kurt. Blaine is like, goo-goo-gaga, falling-all-over-himself, you-can-see-his-heart-eyes-from-space in love with Kurt right now, and to put it mildly, Kurt is not acting the same in return. For real, I think they made eye contact once in last night's episode, and it was for a fraction of a second, despite the fact that they were sitting next to one another the entire time during dinner.
This worries me big-time. Last week's episode was the first time in the whole season that we've heard directly from Kurt how he's feeling towards Blaine. And it wasn't "ZOMG I'm so in love with him look at him he's gorgeous *droooooool*". He was feeling like he didn't know how he was feeling, which says to me that he needs time to spend with Blaine to figure himself out. He's not sure he wants to be in a realationship with Blaine right now, and if his constant "Oh we're not a couple" remarks are anything to go by, I'm pretty sure he's not ready for a marriage proposal.
Which brings me to the number two thing that's bugging the crap out of me: where are the writers taking Blaine with this whole proposal storyline? I don't get it. Blaine was very self-aware about the fact that he hurt Kurt badly and knew Kurt would need some time in forgiving him (and that was only once he was past thinking that Kurt would never forgive him at all). So honestly, what is he trying to accomplish by proposing? It's almost like the writers are setting him up to fail. I don't want to see Kurt outright reject Blaine. I'm having a hard enough time with the fact that it doesn't seem like Kurt loves Blaine at all right now, so I definitely don't want to see a proposal-rejection combo to start off next season.
Also, it was cute last week, but...the scene in the hallway, when we all thought Blaine might actually go for the proposal? Like...really? That's how the proposal was going to be? In the frigging hallway at McKinley? Blainers, I love you, but...come on. No.
And let's not forget, Blaine doesn't have Burt's blessing on this. How's that gonna turn out, when Burt finds out he asked anyway? No good, Blainers. You should listen to Burt.
And it doesn't bug me because I think they're too young. It's actually more because they're not even a real couple right now. Blaine may be amused when Kurt keeps brushing them off as "not a couple" or "not together", but I am not. I need more from you, Kurt. Either that or move on from Blaine.
I can't even believe I just said that. But I hate how lopsided their relationship has become. They were great because they were equal. They were in the same place at the same time and it was beautiful. It's okay if they're not in the same place right now. But it would frigging be nice if we could get a damn conversation between the two of them about it (and them maybe Blaine would calm the eff down with the proposal stuff). Sheesh, writers. Come on.
Also, my final note: while Patty Duke and Meredith Baxter's characters were adorable, I kinda resent the fact that Klaine need mentors. Did they need mentors for the last year and a half? No. Did Kurt need Rachel telling him what to do this entire past season? No. Klaine built their relationship on their own, and Kurt figured out what the best solution was for himself on his own. They don't need other people. All they need is each other and some damn screentime. And hey, maybe a frigging conversation about where they both stand right now? It's almost like the writers forgot how strong of a couple they once were. I don't like it. I want my Klaine back.
Gettin' real tired of your shit, Glee.
Sigh. I miss my Klaine.
