Extremely spoilery article on The First Time
If you care enough to read a teaser post about GLEE then I’m going to go out on a limb and assume you know the basic storyline of “The First Time”, but if for some reason you don’t, here’s what you need to know: Both Rachel & Finn and Kurt & Blaine contemplate taking their respective relationships to the next level, but there’s a whole lot of ground to cover between talking about sex and actually doing it. Both of McKinley’s power couples explore that middle ground in a wonderfully realistic way
So many adorable Kurt and Blaine moments to choose from, but I happen to be partial to their first scene together. A fun and playful scene where they take the sage old advice of Salt & Peppa. {editorial from me, aka "Lets talk about Sex, Baby!?}
- I got lots of emails, tweets and Tumblr questions about this new, handsome Warbler. He is a dastardly bloke with fantastic taste in men. I dare say Blaine Anderson might have been a bit overwhelmed by the blatant attention of Sebastian. I’m not 100% convinced he hated Sebastian’s eagerness. Hell, I’m not even 50% convinced. But don’t worry your Klaine loving hearts, the young man makes it quite clear where his heart is. Although I knew Sebastian was going to be introduced in this episode, I didn’t expect him to get as much screen time as he did. That’s not a complaint. You’ve seen Grant Gustin, right?
- Blaine returns to Dalton Academy for the first time since his transfer, and I must say, watching him walk down those famous spiral staircase made me a bit nostalgic. While I’m happy that Blaine decided to be with Kurt at McKinley, he and I both missed those boys in the blazers. Big moment for Warbler Nick, played by Curt Mega, who took over for lead vocals from Blaine. And cheers to Warbler Jeff (Riker Lynch) for continuing Blaine’s legacy of dancing on furniture. All that was missing was some papers thrown randomly in the air and it would have been a true Warbler performance. Oh Yeah!
- It was good to see Dave Karofsky back , but don’t expect to see him Bully Whipping around the halls of McKinley any time soon. Dave decided to transfer out for his senior year to avoid any potential rumors. Max Adler and Chris Colfer shared a nice scene that had me wishing there was an opportunity to further explore a Kurtofsky (is that the right name? I can’t keep up with you kids) friendship. Who knows. Maybe the writers will make it happen.
- There were a few moments that had me reaching for the tissues. Yes, I got a bit emotional, but I wasn’t the only one. Blaine struggled a bit in one scene, and Coach Beiste let the tears flow more than once. I must say that Dot Marie Jones is fantastic in this episode and in this role in general. She took what could have been a one-sided joke of a character and made her one of the most interesting and special characters on the show. Next to Burt, she’s my favorite adult on GLEE.
- On Kurt Hummel’s bucket list: ‘Become CEO of Logo’; ‘Arrive at school in a hot air balloon’; ‘Get into Julliard’; ‘Attend a circuit party on Fire Island’ (Note: I had to look that one up on Wikipedia, and I must say…go Kurt!). And yeah, our boy had a fantasy involving a Twilight star. Any guesses?
- In case there was ever a doubt of my love and devotion to all things Klaine, please know that I was glued to Twitter and Tumblr “that night” like the rest of you. But it’s only fair to warn you that ALL that was allegedly filmed in the car didn’t necessarily make it into the episode. I don’t know if I will ever pray hard for deleted scenes in my life.
ETA
As was spoiled previously by some other outlets, both Kurt and Blaine remain clothed in their final scene. But, that’s not to say layers weren’t shed. Although Blaine starts the scene in a striped sweater, viewers will see said article of clothing on the floor.
Next to being shirtless, I can tell you that Blaine Anderson/Darren Criss in a grey wife beater* tank is pretty frakkin’ hot. Dare I say SuperMegaFoxyAwesomeHot?!
