you and Ms. Muse are killing me with your response posting. (In a good way) (Thanks for cut tagging) There's at least 6 hours before I'll watch. So I can't read this or annnnyyyythiiing.

THE COLORS. THE CLOTHES. THE KISSES.

RAINBOW PIN.

I mean, they kind of totally forgot that this takes place DAYS after 4x21 and 4x22, but OH MY GOD.

I woke up way too early this morning, still flailing.

HAHAHA Me too! M is upstairs snoring and I was all FUCK IT I'M GOING TO GO WATCH THEIR TWO SCENES AGAIN BEFORE THE KIDS GET UP.

And yeah, they all but ignored the existence of 4x22 and I just can't bring myself to care. All I am left with is pure joy.

This show is better without the adults.

It's so true. When I think of the precious seconds of this ep wasted on Sue and Figgins, I get reeeeally frustrated.

But then I think about the Kurt/Blaine scenes and NOTHING HURTS. :D Like you, I would have loved more discussion, more really dealing with the fact that they are too freaking young -- but having any discussion is more than I dared to hope for, and at least Kurt is willing to admit that maybe this is, uh, a little rash -- but god, I would have said yes too, because JFC THAT SPEECH THOSE EYES STICK A FORK IN ME I AM DONE ( ... )

I didn't give a crap about the Sue and Figgins stuff, either. But honestly, it was just about as short as they could have made it, so I won't even complain that loud.

Because, yes, EVERYTHING IS KLAINE AND NOTHING HURTS. God. I am like a swirl of rainbows and heart-eyes and unicorns right now. There are birds twittering around my head.

having any discussion is more than I dared to hope for

Exactly this. Which is a little sad, I suppose, that our expectations were so low. But honestly, it was enough to get me satisfied. And I think Kurt expressing his own doubts was what sealed the deal for me. I would have been a lot less satisfied, I think, if Kurt had simply been surprised and swept up in the moment. I love that they made the choice, to have him KNOW what he was walking into, and to see him MAKE THE CHOICE to do so. And THEN, I didn't mind one bit that he was swept away by Blaine's production and unbelievable speech. Because I already knew that Kurt had the chance to really think about it.

It did help, for me, that the courtyard conversation made clear that they've talked about this stuff before. I wish they'd dealt with it onscreen rather than off, not least because if the writers didn't want to go the dialogue route there are plenty of songs they could have used to show how Kurt's understanding the situation, what he's thinking, etc., and that's something S4 could have used a good deal more of. But what's done is done, and it's so nice to feel happy for them for a change that I am mostly reveling in that feeling. :D

Kurt expressing his own doubts was what sealed the deal for me.Me too! You're exactly right that it helped so much to have him know what he was walking into, to know that he's not JUST swept up in the moment -- that he's been thinking about the proposal, that he's talked about it with his dad, that he's secure in his feelings, that his doubts are not about THEM but about their age and about the ways in which being married is hard -- which, yes, he SHOULD be thinking about that! Especially after the well- ( ... )

I agree, I feel no rush to see them get married. I mean, I WANT to, eventually. (Shit, I just wrote 12,000 words on how much I want to.) But I don't feel a rush about it. I feel confident that it'll happen before the show ends, and at this point, that's fine by me.

As much as I love seeing them happy (OH AND I DO), I do actually hope that Burt's comments in the car were a touch of foreshadowing - I want to see them run into some conflict that deals with the reality of sharing your life with someone, and have them actually deal with it.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. For now?

SIGH.

"I don’t care so much if Glee gets reality right if they can actually get emotion right. And this suckered my cynical heart right in. This is why I am hooked on this absurd show."

THIS IS ME. (hi, it's undefinedkosmos from tumblr. I mostly tend to lurk when it comes to LJ.)

BURT HUMMEL! CHRIS COLFER'S FACE! Soulmates! All the fanfictions are canon!

Non-Klaine reactions (because I do watch for more than that):

The colors are so vivid, and I had to keep reminding myself that it's still springtime in Gleeworld. My brain is firmly stuck in how much I love autumn, it's a bit jarring, but not bad.

Yesterday ripped my heart to shreds. The shots of Rachel moving through New York were visually stunning and, in context of Cory's death, so heartbreaking.

LOVED You've Got To Hide Your Love Away! All the slightly-icky secrecy aside, those two are so cute together! And Kitty's response to Tina's intervention was really touching.

MY SHOW IS BACK!!!

HI FRIEND! :-)

YES AND YES to everything. The colors, the group numbers, the unbridled JOY with just enough of a touch of sadness to keep it attached to the earth.

I'm still floating. I could just sit on Tumblr all day and look at the same three gifsets over and over again. Having to be a productive, responsible adult kind of sucks. Why can't I just ignore my kids for a few hours and watch Klaine kiss a million times in a row? :-)

I have to say, I'm insanely excited. I totally wasn't looking forward to it being back -- enough so that I set the tape and didn't watch it live -- and then THEY MADE ME CARE ABOUT KURT AND BLAINE AGAIN! They made me care and believe and want a happy ending. *twirls*

There was also a lot of actually recognizing previous canon and dealing with stuff and no single character being terribly annoying, and good music and fun costumes/settings and adorableness. Basically, it was hearts and flowers, puppies and rainbows. It made me happy, and I hadn't hoped for it to be half as good as that.
