I have not been this terrified for a Glee episode since...okay, probably recently, but still, my heart is working overtime and my fingers are shaking, nervously dreading the worst case scenario. But right now...
KURT I LOVE YOU ALL IS TEMPORARILY FORGIVEN.
SAVE RACHEL FROM HERSELF AND I WILL LET YOU GO ON ONE COFFEE DATE.
8:40 pm: I was told something good was cut from the end of the scene with Sam and Blaine. That angers me, but at the same time, that was fantastic. Need to watch ten times ASAP.
8:47: *collapses in relief* I still have to write some sort of rageful essay on the matter, but in the meantime, "Love Story" is sending me out on waves of happiness. Good night!
8:51: WHOOPS NOPE BACK TO SAM AND BLAINE AND MY FONT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THIS LEVEL OF VICTORY WHOOPING.
Pop quiz, what are the two things I prize above all else in my fiction, presuming cuddling is not an option? That's right, tears and hugs. Sassily shakin' my tail feathers as I strut off for the night, triumphant.
----------
And I know we got the "This Is The New Year" performance ahead of time, but god help me if it doesn't still bring genuine tears of happiness and love and pride for this group number, the perfect representation of everything that is beautiful and good when this show just gets things right.

Now I need to sleep a few hours before work...
And I wonder was cut? I hadn't heard anything about it, now I'm crazy with curiosity!!
I love Hummelberry friendship so much, but I'm really worried... sensing some major tensions on the horizon... Kurt had valid points about her not doing the topless scene, but I got the feeling that confrontation wasn't just about the movie. Otherwise her inviting Brody to move in wouldn't have come up. Kurt is ticked off about that :/
Really into this season, more than I've been yet so far :)
As for what was cut, lemme dig it up...
"do we have a conclusion to Blaine's crush on Sam tonight? IE a talk or realization?"
@giovanna parise: they actually cut it from the episode :/
This sounds like a, how do you say, super important thing that should not have been cut. No matter what was said, it definitely shapes one's perspective on the ending, so all I can fathom is them wanting it to be more ambiguous as to whether it was friendship vs. crush motivated? Though I can't come up with a good reason why.
