Here's what you missed on Glee: Sue continues to give us a whiplash
with her I hate Glee\I like Glee attitude, Becky is extremely picky in
regards to her Christmas presents, Rachel decides to finally acknowledge
that she did know Blaine and was friends with him and apparently,
Ryan's definition of Kurt "having a Christmas he won't forget" is to
give his dad cancer.
Kevin McHale just broke my heart at the beginning of the episode, I wanted to wrap him in a blanket and comfort him. The whole It's A Wonderful Life part was simply wonderful. However, I had a couple of problems with it. They showed Sam and Ryder as douchbags who were bullying Kurt. From the very start and even before joining Glee, both boys were shown as nice people who genuinely cared about others and stood up for them so making them bullies didn't make any sense considering that Glee didn't really change them personality-wise like it did with Finn and Puck. Having Becky turning into the school slut was also strange, I've always felt that Sue was the only one who had a real influence on Becky but hey, Glee actually remembered continuity by mentioning that Artie took Becky on a date so I'm not complaining. One more thing though: season one Rachel was a force to be reckoned with even before Glee so how the hell did she turn into that timid person we saw?
Chris Colfer was gold in that scene. He just looked resigned to his fate when Puck slammed Artie next to him. His attitude sent me propelling into early season two when Kurt was suffering after Burt's heart attack. He looked worn and tired and it felt like there was no more fight left in him. I loved the subtle hint of how Blaine changed Kurt's life and how hilarious was Artie's rendition of Feliz Navidad?
Jake and Puck's relationship just fascinates me (yes, I'm a sucker for brotherly bonding) and the scene in Breadstix with their moms was great. I'm happy that Puck is coming back to Lima but did we have to waste precious time on unnecessary scenes in LA to explain Puck's return? Couldn't they have made Puck just explain it to Jake and be done with it?
Back on the NY front, the world's greatest father showed up to surprise his only child. I absolutely adore any Burt\Kurt\Blaine interaction so be aware, there's a good amount of gushing coming up. After a good day with Kurt being out and about in the Big Apple, he drove a knife through our collective hearts. HE HAS CANCER. Okay, I'm all for angst and story-building and stuff but Kurt have been suffering from a ridiculous amount of pain since the beginning of the show. We really should have seen the whole thing coming though when Burt decided to bring up Kurt's mom for no reason whatsoever. I mean, you usually don't remind your son of his first Christmas without his mom when you're there to celebrate his first Christmas in NY with him, right?
Anyway, because Burt is awesome, he assures Kurt that he will be fine and gives him a heartwarming talk about keeping those he loves close to him. He also brought Blaine to see Kurt and I just melted at "he told me everything, I'm gonna keep an eye on him for you". It felt like Burt was giving Blaine the ultimate stamp of approval. Yes, Blaine made a mistake and he broke Kurt's heart but Burt could see that this boy is the only person who can take care of his son. He even told his son's ex he was sick even before telling his own son. The way he looked at them as they hugged and how he was completely at ease with Blaine back at the apartment, even showing concern about his future plans, just spells acceptance to me. And can Blaine be more adorable? From the second he appeared, he had the puppy dog eyes turned on full force. Give us a break here, you've been ripping our hearts out for months now and we're at the breaking point.
Kurt looked mostly overwhelmed and he came across as awkward in some places but that's understandable. I think it was the combination of bad news and the awkwardness of seeing Blaine when he haven't sorted out his feelings yet. His interaction with Blaine felt like Dalton days to me, one of them making heart eyes at other while the other is more on the cool side, the only difference that it's Blaine pinning after Kurt this time.
I have nothing against Bram, I kinda ship them actually but the Mayan apocalypse thing was too crazy. It did give us some hilarious lines though and they both were their normal adorable selves so I won't complain much about it.
The Marley story line was sweet and I actually liked the kitchen scene. Ending the episode with Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was epic, with the montage between Lima and NY. I just love any song that shows the Glee club coming together and I basically cooed at Kurt and Blaine being all domestic together. On that note, did anybody else die when Blaine pulled Burt's chair for him? Just me? Okay then.
