6. Kurt becomes Prom Queen
This revelation in the episode of Season 2 aptly entitled "Prom Queen" shocked me a lot more than I thought it would. I don't know what it is about Proms on television and film, but any emotion expressed within a Prom setting is heightened to an insane degree. When Principal Figgins announced who had won Prom Queen, we could see in his face he was sick to have to say the words, knowing the hurt it was about to cause Kurt. When Kurt is announced, it sends shivers down the spine. The whole cast's reaction to this moment is priceless... especially Will's look of pure horror. I feel similar emotions when I think of this particular scene in Glee as when I think of watching the similar, but more horrific scene in the movie "Carrie". Although Carrie burnt all her fellow students to death for the horrible prank they pulled on her (making her win prom queen then dropping pigs blood all over her) Kurt took it on the chin, and for this he deserved a hell of a lot of respect, but the moment when Blaine asks to dance with him, and the two share a dance in front of the whole school is Klaine's own mature way of getting revenge to the terrible secret homophobes in the school, and showing them all that their love is just as beautiful as anyone else's.
