Life According to Kath

Just a few things that have captured my attention.

The vocals…ouch. I’m not sure if it’s in the wrong key or what, but both guys are really struggling on this one. Cory more so than Darren, but ouch.

That being said, it’s a duet with a guitar accompaniment. What’s the over/under on Darren actually being able to play guitar on the show?!  PLEASE!

Cory gets to play drums all the time (despite DC being an equally amazing drummer). Let Blaine at least strum a guitar!

Clearly I’m Fangirling, But…

During the show…

Cory can play the drums.

Mark, Chord and Samuel can play their guitars.

Yet Darren plays piano, drums, guitar, violin and more and the only thing we’ve seen him play is a few bars on the harmonica (assuming that was him).

Does RIB not think Blaine can rock out. Oh he can.

[Ok this post was really just an excuse for me to post THIS video.]

Exactly. I’m all for self expression but I so often question the taste of the GLEE costumer designers.
I get that Blaine was used to wearing a uniform, but the tight, short-sleeved polo with a bowtie was getting tired. I know it will be back, but I appreciate how fantastic he looks in a simple outfit.

The most astonishing thing about this picture is that Blaine is wearing normal clothes.

GLEE Recap: ‘Big Brother’ – The Anderbros Bicker and the Fate of Quinn Fabray Revealed

Just posted my recap of tonight’s GLEE over at GIVE ME MY REMOTE.com. A special shoutout to Tumblr folks for providing such timely animated gifs. I adore you all! XOXO

Before we get started…does anyone know if Tyler Oakley survived this episode. Can someone check on him and get back to me. I’m worried about him.

It’s been 7 long weeks since we last saw our beloved McKinley High songsters. So many questions were left unanswered. So many lives left in the balance.

Did Finchel go ahead with their wedding?

Did Quinn survive that horrible car crash?

Well one thing we know for sure – no one associated with GLEE can even begin to keep a secret. Cliffhangers don’t really work when you release photos of a ‘possibly dead character’ back on set, or when you release promos with the engaged twosome talking about their future wedding plans.  Oh GLEE.

Important Note: Before we get into some of the highlights and not of this episode, let’s get this out of the way – this episode was set up as a slam dunk for my love and affection. You’ve got an episode premise built solidly around the back story of Blaine Anderson. If that wasn’t enough you bring one of my personal TV faves, Matt Bomer, in to guest as Darren Criss’ brother.  It’s almost as if Ryan Murphy & Co walked into one of my dreams and said “great ideas, Kath. We’ll make this episode just for you, my dear”. And yeah, I know, there are a lot of Blaine haters out there.  And that’s ok. You have that right, but just know that you’re not going to necessarily find this blog post a support group. I’m a fan – no different than any of you and I have my bias. And tonight my bias is the Anderbros.

Keep reading my recap of GLEE ‘Big Brother’ here.

[Note: please don’t copy and paste the entire recap and post it on Tumblr, forums or anywhere else. If you want to share with others, please reblog and direct folks to the original source. Thanks!]

Q&A

kitty-kate85 asked: Got any thoughts/wish list items for Blaine/Cooper storyline coming to Glee?

Yes, but none of them would make GLEE’s PG-13 standards!

Honestly I’m just excited to learn more about Blaine’s back story. What’s the deal with his family?  I know he mentioned not having the best relationship with his Dad in the past, but how has that played out over the past year or so?

The Anderson family intrigues me. What kind of parents let their son transfer out of a great school, where he is happy, during his junior year of high school only to be closer to his boyfriend? Maybe his parents just aren’t that involved.

I’m hoping Cooper is just an all around supportive big brother.  And if Kurt has a little thing for the elder Anderson…well, I couldn’t blame him. It’s The Bomer!

Blaine’s brother singing at the 1:35 mark.

Note - Even when he tries to look pervy and unattractive, Matt Bomer fails.

I posted this before, but I love it so much I’m posting again. This priceless piece of Matt Bomer singing moments is something I’ll always adore.
