My take on "Prom Queen"

What started as a comment on my good friend's review of the newest episode of Glee turned into it's own post! lol. I don't like hogging anyone's comment space, so instead of leaving a novel under his post, I decided to share my opinions of the episode here. ^,~

*SPOILERS!*

1) Sadly, I never got around to finishing Season 1 (I should, though!), and I missed out on the whole Jesse St. James drama. Oh, I've read about it and was aware of him as a character in the series, but I hadn't seen him in action before. He's certainly a talented singer. But I can tell he broke Rachel's heart. I didn't like him at all. How did she fall for him again?!

2) Karofsky did seem much more human in this episode, didn't he? That was awesome. ^,^ You could tell how much of a crush he has on Kurt, and I believed him this time when Dave said he was sorry for bullying him. He should totally have come out and danced with Kurt! Maybe it would have been awkward, but it would have helped him grow a lot more...

Buuuuuut... Kurtofsky? Really? O,o I wouldn't go so far as liking Dave *that* much. With all due respect, I'll remain a heavy Kurt+Blaine shipper.

3) I totally thought of you when they did Jar of Hearts! ^_~ Really nice cover!

4) Eh. Not much comment. It's an interesting storyline, though, making for thatmuch more drama.

5) I was soooo surprised! Never would have guessed that Kurt would win the crown, not in a million years!!! ^_^ Happy as I was, though, it didn't make much sense to me, for a few reasons:
  • Who put his name in the running for prom queen? A friend? An enemy?
  • Was it a prank? Or did someone honestly think it would be cool for him to run?
  • How on earth did Kurt just happen to win?! All the students really just voted for him? Or did someone rig it? (How does the voting for prom queen/king work anyway? Since I never went to high school or attended prom, I'm ignorant in this area...)
  • I was confused too when Kurt was initially horrified. I didn't understand his thought process... can someone explain?
  • Who is Kate Middleton? O_o
Still, all in all, it was incredibly exciting and rewarding to watch this episode. Totally much better than last week's "Rumours". ^,^ I wonder what will happen next...

Okay, so I wrote this all out, and tried to send it, and it wouldn't allow it. So here is reply-2.0

In this episode they explain that P-Q/K was a secret ballot. Meaning they can write down any name they want on it. Thats why the candidates where campaigning so heavily.

If students at Mickinley decided they were going to be mean and pick Kurt to be their Prom Queen, it really could have happened.

I think the reason Kurt was so shocked is because it was so unexpected. He wasn't campaigning, he wasn't doing anything of the sort. To have it sprung on him would be both insulting, and rude.

It would be like if you were a guy at a party, and they picked you as the best dressed women to come up and accept the award. You would be shocked, insulted, and hurt. You never would have expected it.

That is his thought pattern.

WHAT!?!?!? HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO KATE MIDDLETON IS!?!?!?! I bet you do, just you dont realize it. Kate Middleton is the new Queen of England.

When Kurt said Eat your heart out Kate Middleton, he was essentially making a joke that he was the same if not better than the Queen of England since he was chosen to be the Prom Queen

I hope that clears up all misunderstandings about the Prom part of the story ^.^

As for Kurt/Blaine, I think I would like them better if they actually acted like a couple. It seems like they are just friends....

I've told you about my own real life Karofsky (Trever). How they have so far acted exactly the same. In highschool, it was all lockers and rude remarks. I told you about how after highschool, he later came back to me and told me how sorry he was. He was so genuine, and so sincere, I knew he was telling the truth. I feel the same way about Karofsky. You can tell that he really really means it.

Its scary how similar the Kurt/Karofsky relationship resembles what I had in highschool with Trever (minus the locker room kiss. and Trever isn't gay)

I think its funny how your post started out as a comment, then became a full on post. Because that is what this has become! almost an entire novel!!! ^.^

Jacoby wrote this comment originally. Since this post got erased before, I wanted to put the comment back where it belonged. ^,~
