Oh, My God, Stop It.

Oh, Glee. I love you, but your moral reasoning can be downright incomprehensible at times.


So Kurt is cancelling prior engagements with his friend Mercedes in order to spend time with Blaine, the guy he has a crush on. Mercedes is a bit unhappy about this. And the conclusion is that Mercedes needs to stop using Kurt as a substitute for a boyfriend and find love?

Look, I'm rather fond of Kurt/Blaine, so I was a little sad when I realised that their relationship (so I thought) was being used for a 'Kurt's a dick' storyline. But much worse than that is setting up what appears to be a 'Kurt's a dick' storyline and then going BUT ACTUALLY THE MORAL IS THAT KURT IS ENTIRELY IN THE RIGHT TO DITCH HIS FRIENDS FOR HIS BOYFRIEND, MERCEDES IS BEING SO UNREASONABLE FOR WANTING KURT TO SPEND TIME WITH HER WHEN HE PROMISED TO.

Although, of course, Blaine isn't Kurt's boyfriend, as far as we're aware, so actually the moral is KURT IS ENTIRELY IN THE RIGHT TO DITCH HIS FRIENDS FOR THE OTHER FRIEND WHOM HE FANCIES. And he isn't, Glee. He's really not. It should be perfectly possible for Kurt to spend time with Blaine without alienating Mercedes.

I really didn't see any sign that Mercedes was using Kurt as a boyfriend substitute, anyway. She didn't seem to be jealous of Blaine. She was disappointed when Kurt said he couldn't go bowling, yes, but, you know, Glee, it's perfectly possible to spend time socially with someone without being in a romantic relationship with them. Really!

Also, much though this scene amused me, I hope Blaine doesn't turn out to be a Kurt clone. I don't want Kurt to go out with a clone of himself unless he's going out with an actual clone of himself, which would certainly be something to watch. Kurt, much though I love him, is a bundle of stereotypes; why not do something different with Blaine?

On the plus side, Kurt, you were really hot in this episode. Really, really, really hot. When did you stop looking like a twelve-year-old?

Also, Quinn was leaning on Kurt throughout 'All That Jazz' and it was adorable. Quinn and Kurt, you are my favourites. You guys and Mercedes need to hang out together more. Blaine can come along on occasion, but only if you promise not to neglect the others when he's there, Kurt. Blaine at least made an effort to engage Mercedes when you were having a meal together; maybe you could take a few lessons from him.
