Blaine, who is just tedious

There really isn't enough agreement in the world to sum up my feelings here. I can't abide Blaine, he just reeks of being one of those Gay Yoda characters they used to parachute into Dawson's Creek to teach Jack A Valuable Lesson About Being Gay, except then they panicked that he looked too much like a Mary Sue, so they just cobbled together a few vague and unconvincing character flaws. (Entirely unrelated, and not in any way Glee's fault, but the Darren Criss fans who bore on forever about how -*brave*- he is to be a straight actor playing a gay role fill me with RAGE.)

I'm watching at E4 pace so I'm a little behind, but I'm thrilled we've got more Santana/Brittany stuff coming up. I know I'm not exactly in a position of expertise here, but I just think that I've seen so many lesbian storylines in teen dramas that were painfully unconvincing, and yet these two are totally selling it. I find it bizarre that their relationship basically started out as a throwaway gag aimed at the slashers and yet somehow developed all this depth somewhere along the way.
