TVLine’s Michael Ausiello got the skinny on Tuesday’s episode of Glee, titled “The First Time,” in which Kurt and Blaine hit the sheets running.
Star Chris Colfer talked with Ausiello about hooking up on camera, the return of bully Karofsky and the arrival of new villain Sebastian.
On Colfer’s reaction to finding out about the episode:
“Prior to getting the script Ryan approached Darren and I and told us that they were doing a virginity episode, and Darren and I just kind of looked at each other with wide eyes like, “Huh? What?’ And while we always have faith in the writers, we were a little skeptical. But then we got the script and shot it and everything was fine. What I thought could be raunchy and over-the-top was just very sweet and emotional. That’s kind of how it is with Glee. Ryan will come up and tell me they’re [tackling] this big, sensitive issue and I’ll freak out. But then I have no reason to freak out because it’s always handled really well.”
On baring skin:
“[Laughs] I was totally [prepared] to have to do a shirtless scene. Or at least wear like a tank [top] or something. I even asked if I could wear a tank and they said no… I think having two gay guys having sex on television was enough. They didn’t want to [reveal] a bunch of skin on top of it. I was like, “I want to wear a tank! Let me wear a tank!” [Ultimately], I wore a T-shirt.”
How about we take this to the next level?

About Kurt and Karofsky’s meeting in a gay bar:
“First, I was excited because I never actually shot a scene at a bar before. And there are just so many cool things you can do as an actor: you can grab your drink, you can play with a cherry, you can lean on the bar, you can lean on a stool. I loved that. And also it was great to see that character again and see what happened to [him]. The honesty behind [Karofsky] is kind of heartbreaking. That’s his life now. That grungy bar is the place where he found acceptance.”

Oh please..
As if FOX are gonna let this scene go to air in it’s entirety
Cam
I just don’t get any chemistry between the two. A few years ago a lesbian comedian, Suzanne Westenhoffer responded to the rumor that Martina Navratolova and K.D. Lang were a coule by saying..
No way, you have your Yin, and you have your Yang….Martina and K.D…..thats Two YANGS…and that ain’t happening.
I definitely think you’ve got two Yin’s with Blaine and Kurt.
Josh K
@Cam: Totally agree, looks awkward even.

Well, it’s about time. I fucked and sucked my way through high school. These two are supposed to be seniors. I was beginning to think they had bought the Jonas Brothers chastity rings on eBay.

@steve: Why wouldn’t they? I think you’re confusing Fox Broadcasting Corporation with Fox News Channel. While its true that they are both subsidiaries of the same parent, the sister companies are very different. Fox Broadcasting Company isn’t particularly conservative, and its leadership is independent of Fox News.

@Cam, I agree with you. Ryan Murphy has a habit of rushing two characters together without any build up and breaking them apart. Plus this season is disjointed with the storylines so I’m finding myself not being invested in any of the characters.
jon
News Corp ill never understand you. you own a bible printing company, have gay sex and have glenn beck. Ya’ll just confused.
Boy wonder
I wanna know who’s the top and who bottoms
Dev
@Boy wonder: LOL, no tops in this case…
Riker
@Dev: What do you think they do, scissor?
I have a sneaking suspicion that Kurt will end up being this aggressive top. It would be so like Murphy to just throw that in there with absolutely no buildup.
Inspector X
Kurt as the top? Please.
Riker
@Inspector X: There are plenty of fem tops, and masc bottoms. I’ve been with both.
Joe
let them have a 3-some with Karofsky. Now THAT, I’d watch
Riker
@Joe: Would be interesting. Though, I’d rather see one with Puck. That guy is sex on legs, and I could totally see him being depressed after getting dumped by Idina Menzel and temporarily writing off women.
Then again, a threesome with Finn, Artie, Other Asian, the new Irish kid, or the new gay kid would also be hot. Any porn producers/lookalikes listening????
corvidae
@Riker: As much as glee porn should probably disgust me (it’s a kid’s show etc etc) I would quite like to see kurt and blaine, in this manner. They could even do it like hollyoaks where there is a day time show and occasional night time one offs for adults.
Riker
@corvidae: You’re right that it is mostly a teen show, but the actors are of legal age, so I don’t need to feel like a dirty old man just yet.
Boy wonder
@Riker I agree Puck is so hot , heard that he turned down a offer from playgirl . And I was like noooooooo.
David Nichols
heard bout virginity ep. this was pretty pg, your ten year olds could watch it. shouldn’t stir up any controversy. But don’t tell Faux News I told you that.
