This Pop Culture

blurintofocus:

I talked to Max Adler from Glee about this week’s emotional episode — everything from his preparation as an actor, his thoughts on Glee’s song selection of “Cough Syrup,” and what this scene with Chris Colfer was like in comparison to all their other intense scenes over the series.

My favorite part:

Interesting parallel between the Gorilla suit removal last episode and the dressing of himself in the suit in preparation for his suicide in this one.

I’m glad you got that. I feel like in that scene, in the suicide, Karofsky has been unable to control any elements of his life, the way people see him he hasn’t been able to dictate. If he wanted to show any sensitivity it would be a weakness, so he’s constantly masking who he is. Him putting the suit on is finally his way to control something, make his own image and be seen has how he wants to be seen. It’s interesting that in his last moments is the only time he is able to control his decisions and his life.

Way more from Max at Billboard.com!  My full recap will come tomorrow morning, as always.
