Awhile ago, shortly after "Never Been Kissed" aired, I posted an entry regarding Karofsky, the resident bully who was revealed to be in the closet on Glee.Since then, more episodes have occurred involving increased sexual and physical violence and death threats. I forgot just how terrifying watching those scenes were until "Furt" re-aired last ( Read more... )

Karofsky has quickly become one of the "most difficult to love but equally difficult to not have empathy for" characters on Glee. He's expressing his Inner Turmoil® in all the wrong ways, which makes it (unfortunately) easy for some to forget that he is going through an incredibly difficult time...

I'm sort of 50/50 on whether I'll continue watching Glee in February. Kurt's story is the most compelling reason to keep watching, but at the same time I want to smack the writers for loading the emotional weight of the show on his shoulders. They are capable shoulders, mind, but the other characters have evolved into caricatures, imo, and that makes me sad.

At this point, I really am only staying for Kurt and sideline Karofsky. I hear they will be doing more with Karofsky which pleases me a great deal. I was afraid he would only be supplemental to Kurt's story. That said, tbh, I couldn't give a shit about Blaine. Darren Criss is nice, but I want two things for Kurt, him to be happy (and if that means with Blaine, fine) and to return to WMHS.

I don't know what happened, but last season I totally was not grooving on Finchel, and then this season I loved it! And just when I started to like it, they broke up! So I'm kind of looking forward to them getting back together again.

Edited cos I can't write grammatically correct sentences for shit.

Argh! WTF LJ ate my fucking comment.

So, it's ironic that you're posting about this because I've spent the night catching up with episodes, starting with Furt. That was terrifying on so many levels. I can't possibly condone Karofsky's behaviour but I can understand it; it's kinda heart-breaking to think about all that fear and pain he must be feeling. I feel so blessed, all the time, that my coming out was a complete non issue.

Thanks for the recs. I'll definitely check them out this weekend.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend on Tuesday. He recently started seeing this guy who is only out to a few people, but his dorm mates or his family. And when my friend went to surprise visit him in the residence halls, he freaked out. They had a huge row and aren't talking presently, but I had to remind him that he was incredibly fortunate that when he came out, nobody cared. And it's not that this boy's friends will probably freak out, but that fear is always present ( ... )
