I want Burt to be my dad, and I love my dad, but come on. Burt? Best dad ever!

Shelby's all or nothing stance made sense to me. She's a huge drama queen, just like her daughter, so of course she'd take the all or nothing approach. The Poker Face duet was fine and I liked that version more than the original, which I hate only slightly less than that disco stick song, but my word, Idina killed on Funny Girl. She is a wonder.

And I would totally be Puck's baby mama.

Kurt's dad just became my all time favorite TV dad.

The only problem is that while I LOVE Kurt's dad, Kurt needed a strong talking to himself for his aggressive pursuit of Finn. Finn was not right at all, but up until the epithet, I was empathetic.

I'm with le nubian. I totally heart Burt for...well, everything. But the moving in was not handled very well and I'd expect parents to expect adjustment issues, under the circumstances. He's such a sensitive, do-right guy, I would have liked to see at least a suggestion of 'let's talk this out.'

But, this really did seem to be the all-or-nothing rejection episode.

I need to rewatch because this was the first episode that didn't really grab me at all. Perhaps it was mood related.

Burt (and Carol) should have been a lot more considerate of Finn about all the upheavals rather than just springing these sorts of surprises on him as done deals. And they should have expected a lot of upset and friction as the move-in happened. But Burt didn't see the lead-up to Finn's (out of character) rant, he just walked in on his kid being hammered with angry hate speech. I think he did the best he could in the moment.

The adults really should have put the household consolidation off until both kids had time to get used to the idea, and logistics could be figured out so no one was in an uncomfortable living situation.

I think that there needed to be a blow up between Kurt and Finn, but I didn't see how it could happen without some ongoing issues. I thought that Finn's rant was totally in character (although I could not for the life of me see how Kurt was not aware that Finn wouldn't like the room). I could see him getting pushed because he always tried to be nice to Kurt and he felt like it was blowing up in his face.

I think that the parents were stupid for just expecting them to share a room without any discussion or problems, though I'm sure that they didn't expect this.

yes, but then there wouldn't have been THE DRAMA.

What I don't get is that if Burt's place was so much bigger that it made more sense for Carol and Finn to move in, then why were the boys having to share a room??? How "small" was Carol's place? Were she and Finn having to share a bedroom? Did one of them live in the living room? (I did this when my daughter first moved in with me, because it was spur of the moment and all I had was a one bedroom, but that changed as soon as the lease was up.)

I know a lot of this was done to add drama, but there still has to be some sense-making writer type peoples!

yeah, that also didn't make sense. I thought that Kurt had the basement not because there weren't other rooms, but because it was larger.

Seriously, there's no such thing as a 2 1/2 bath with 1 bedroom.

I assumed there were more bedrooms, but Kurt preferred having the basement to himself and the other bedrooms were used for other stuff like Dad's home office and Kurt's sewing room or something.
