Despite complaints of Russell Crowe not being able to sing, fans definitely freaked out over the Christmas release of the play-to-film adaptation. Fans cheered, freaked and most definitely cried as they saw a fan favorite musical turned into a fan favorite blockbuster movie with a star studded cast. Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr alike were all filled with updates of fans excitedly announcing they were going to see the film, always followed, exactly three hours later, with updates saying they loved it and cried the whole time.

    Thank you for writing this. Blaine cheating was so out-of-character that I’m angry at the writers instead of him.

    • yessica

      Same!

  • jen

    I love Klaine and Finchel but give Tina a story like 10 minutes.

      tina will… crush on blaine ¬¬

      • Mimi

        That´s once again so unfair to Tina. Somebody should hire a writer who cares just a little bit about her. But at least she gets a solo. I hope noone interrupts that.

    Completely spot on about Blaine cheating. It was so cheap, contrived and unnecessary. I’m so annoyed at the writers for going down that road.

  • Ellie

    Don’t forget ‘Merlin’ ending!

    I know I am gonna get my ass kicked just for saying this but I am sorry I am okay with all that has happened. They were togeather for three years, glued to the hip (by us) What happens??? Life one leaves they don’t know what to do and all of a sudden who they really are kicks in. They were the first people that accepted eachother let eachother in when the rest of world kicked them to the curb. Now the have to be accepted by others (ecspecially Kurt) before they can accept who they are and eachother. Sorry but I am enjoying it. Its realistic

    • sak

      So you are enjoying the crap and that’s ok. But stop saying that this is a good or realist arc because it isn’t. And wtf is your argument? None of that you wrote makes sense.

      • Laura

        In that case then I gusse my mind is just origanised cluter that only I can understand. It may not be on the ball but as a recent graduate I understand what each character is going threw. You just can’t see threw rose colored glasses that Klaine was getting boring.

    about Glee: ACCURATE

  • ashleyisagoddess

    I’ve never seen how Blaine cheating was out of character. He’s always been attention-seeking. He wasn’t getting the constant attention he’d always gotten from Kurt and went seeking it elsewhere. Look how much he loved being worshiped by the Warblers during Dark Side and it was only until Sam started showering him with attention that he decided against going back to Dalton. Blaine has never been perfect, contrary to what some people believe, and Kurt is probably better off.

    • Haha

      u are hilarious lol

  • RachelA

    Ummm, NO. Blaine cheating was the most predictable, in-character narrative choice Glee has made in a good long while. Blaine is needy, is a TOTAL attention-whore, and he had a very serious flirtation with another guy while Kurt was STILL IN LIMA (Sebastian, anyone?). The notion that him trying to get attention and affection from somebody else when Kurt wasn’t there to give it to him every second he demanded it is somehow out of character for Blaine is ludicrous to me. Whoever wrote this needs to stop drinking the fandom Klainer-Koolaid and actually watch the show as it is written. Then you’d know this is about the *most* consistent part of season 4 Glee.

    When Nepeta died, of course.

  • Christine

    Fili and Thorin was attractive too, don’t forget that.

  • LaniLaniDuck

    I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU SHIP SCIENCE BOYFRIENDS.

  • StHummel

    Rumor has it one diva of Glee is very jealous of Klaine fandom and Darren Criss’s impact on the show, threatened to leave the show if writers don’t tarnish his character and let St. Hummel Glee’s only Goody Two shoes

    The Hobbit. Oh, it’s not just Aidan Turner. Don’t forget about the other Durins! Dean O’gorman as Fili, and the hottest of them all (for me), Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield!

    #votebilbo campaign really made an impact to the LOTR fandom, it united the fans of both books and movies from all over the world and brought Bilbo to victory. If you witnessed the Ringers and Tolkienite’s hard work, you could really see how devoted and united they are. They might not be popular in media especially to young folk but it’s a really huge community with amazing people.

    I suggest you could add that to your list for 2013. :)
