I think what made me saddest about the whole thing is that he didn't seem to have a real connection with one single person at Dalton other than Blaine. The closest we got were those two high fives. No one ever smiled at him, or really even looked interested when he sang; they just stared at him attentively (kind of blankly, I thought) and then politely applauded. It made me want to bundle him back to McKinley immediately.

The whole thing with Blaine read to me like he has pretty ruthlessly squashed his own identity in order to be a part of the Warblers, and like the real Blaine is the one who dorks out while performing ("I'm so gangster, I'm so thug" faces!!!) and happily gushed with Kurt at Breadstix. I actually like that and would be really interested in an exploration of Blaine slowly realizing that. But I'm just like ... did the writers intend that? Will they ever reference this stuff again? Will Blaine ever get more lines that are not serene metaphors (I did like that they lampooned it a little bit with Kurt asking if he has any sage advice)? I would actually be pretty uncomfortable if the two of them hooked up, at this point; I was hoping for some we-are-equals moments in this episode, but the power dynamic was still pretty heavily skewed.

YESSSS let's babble.
