Who really believes Kurt and Blaine are over? No one? That's what I thought. Brittany and Santana were also always a guarantee, for the sake of equal opportunity of nothing else. If New New Directions had (not all that) Unique, now we have transitioning Coach Beiste, so that the gamut of sexual preferences and…

I left the last episode bellowing "KHAAAAAN!" And I was really hoping the opening shot would establish him lying in bed next to Carrie in a state of undress, in a gesture of true international inter-agency cooperation. Alas, it was not to be.
