Who's getting together with who? Who's breaking up? How much do you hate "love" triangles? Discuss here.

Emma accepting Ken's proposal, that's just crazy.

Man, I really, really want to know what's up between Tina and Artie. Are they an item? Are they just good friends? Did they even know each other before Glee? Does Tina only hang around Artie because she feels guilty for putting him in a wheelchair(this is my own cracky theory and shouldn't be considered canon)?

With all the cheatings and flirty eyes going on, Tina and Artie are my OTP.

What does OTP stand for?

That's HILARIOUS and now I wish it to be canon.

I see Quinn being kicked out of Cheerios and being really sad/socially persecuted then Finn discovers how babies are really made but staying with her anyway because of his emotional savant-ness realizing how much Quinn needs him even though he's into Rachel.

As for the Ken/Emma/Will/Terri quad, I'm hoping it falls into a vat of acid and disappears. But since I don't like it, it'll be probably become more & more prominent. Why, TPTB?? Why?

OTP means One True Pair. It basically means that I prefer Tina/Artie over all other pairs. Finn/Rachel has nothing over Tina/Artie!

First: I vote that if there is ever a separate Finn/Rachel thread, we call it "F-Rod and A-Rach." That cracked me the hell up last episode.

I, too, would like to know what's up with Tina and Artie, and really hope we get an episode focusing on them at some point. Artie seems like he could be pretty cool in the few glimpses we get of him, and I'd like to see something happen there.

Terri/Will/Emma/Ken - I am, indeed, on the 'everything goes off a cliff and explodes' train here. Terri's the worst of the lot, and nobody deserves her, but Will is a dick and Emma and Ken's "marriage" is going to be the saddest thing ever.

I like Finn and Rachel together and think they could be good for each other (and they have undeniable chemistry), but there's clearly a whole lot of shit standing in the way there. I don't see Finn staying with Quinn after discovering that for all her torturing of him, she slept with his "best friend," but I could see her campaigning to win him back in the future. That one will be interesting.

Also, in the shallow 'that would be really hot' category: Rachel/Quinn. She drew pornographic pictures!

Overall, I am not superattached to any given pairing - there's no Chuck and Sarah here for me as of yet.

Count me in for an Artie/Tina episode. I think they were friends before Glee. In the Pilot, be see Tina wheeling Artie around, so I assumed they were, at least, in friendly terms.

I must say that I don't really care for Finn/Rachel, but I want to see how will the show resolve the issue with Quinn's baby.

Am I the only one who wants to see Kurt and Mercedes (separately, of course) have some romantic plot?

I'm pretty ambivalent about Finn/Rachel right now, but I'm sure Quinn would disagree :). Eventually it's going to hit the fan and affect everyone. It is just killing me to find out how.

Am I the only one who wants to see Kurt and Mercedes (separately, of course) have some romantic plot?

You are absolutely not! I really want to see Kurt have one, and something more than "Kurt likes Finn, who doesn't reciprocate." I'm sure the show will do us better than that. I have to be honest, I don't care as much about Mercedes, since I find her pretty intensely dislikeable. If she does get one, good for her; if not, I really don't think I'll care. I prefer her as much in the background as possible.

Au, pairs!

OK... I'm not in the "die, love rhombus, DIE!" camp: I think that there should be a moment of sweet justice, in which Terri gets exposed as the sociopath that she truly is. But, when it happens, I think that Ken should swoop her off her feet and run off with her. Think about it: he takes women who are "broken", and who have low self-esteem, and tries to own them, all because he himself thinks that he can't get anyone in Lima. So, picture Terri, in the dumps when all her machinations have gone for naught: Emma will have dumped Ken, thinking she has a chance with Will, and that leaves Terri available for Ken...!

I think that Will and Emma should get together -- if there's anyone in the world who's able to break Emma of her "crazy", it's Will! And, since she does such a good job of being the voice of his conscience, I think Emma would be good for Will, too. The only problem: would the two of them devolve into dinner discussions about ants?

The kids: it's only a matter of time until Quinn's outed in a very public, very embarrassing way; Rachel absolutely hit it on the nose with that one. Here's the problem, though: if Sue gets Quinn dropped from Glee (and therefore, causing an insufficient number of kids on the team to qualify), she's also dropped from the Cheerios. When are the cheerleading nationals? Could Quinn perform in the cheerleading competitions? When that ball drops, though, there are so many other Jenga-sticks that will fall: Finn will be wickedly, obscenely hurt over how Quinn played him. Will there be a free-for-all over Finn's affections? And really, what I'm talking about isn't a Quinn-vs-Rachel throwdown: I'm picturing a Kurt-vs-Rachel brouhaha! (Imagine if "Defying Gravity" happened between Kurt and Rachel in the aftermath of a nasty girl-fight over Will!!!)

OK... if not that kind of fireworks, then what might be in store for Kurt? It'd be awesome if Kurt found someone... but he was on one of the team's competitors in regionals or nationals! Wow -- playing Kurt's feelings (treated straight-up, ahem, as it were, and not just for silly laughs) against his desire for the good of the team! Wouldn't it make for quite the plot point?!?

Artie/Tina is an interesting pairing, but really, it's far too early for this development -- the writers have really been lax on this front: we need to learn who Artie and Tina are, before we get to see them pair off, together or with others, don't we?

And Sue? Oh, if there's any justice at Fox, I want to see her paired up with Puck, and exposed in flagrante delicto with him...! Imagine the scandal! Imagine the horror! Imagine the scripting possibilities!!!!

I'm not sold on Artie/Tina yet but Artie should be expressing interest in someone. I mean he's a teenager; you know, sea of hormones all of that good stuff.

All the other guys have shown a romantic interest in someone but not Artie

Finn - Rachel and Quinn
Kurt - Finn
Puck - Santana, Quinn, April, Several MILFS, really anything with a pulse and girl parts.

I'm giving Matt and Mike a pass because they haven't been around as long as the others.

To be blunt, Artie's a nerd who recently has had 3 very attractive cheerleaders join his Glee Club (2 of whom have no apparent boyfriends), even if he isn't going to try anything he should be pining after one of them, unless he is in fact into Tina.

On any other show, I would say yes, but this show seems to move at warp speed. If I were to read into things wildly, though, I would say there was something to that high five manque with Brittany (Britney?), aka the blonde Cheerio who's an amazing dancer.

It's all about Purt.


Pshaw. The best portmanteau name will belong to Fuck (Finn/Puck). You know it!

...In all seriousness, the main teen cast has so much chemistry between them that I ship pretty much everybody with everybody else. Finn/Rachel? I like it. Finn/Quinn? Cute. Puck/Rachel? Love/hate potential. Puck/Quinn? Angsty goodness! Puck/Kurt? I could see it. Artie/Tina? Intriguing. Tina/Mike? They look good together. Quinn/Rachel? Sure, why not? Finn/Puck? Hot.

Amber Riley posted in her tweeter that her favorite Glee couple were Puck/Santana that I hyped it up so much in my head and when it happened, I was so sad it ended in the same episode. Still hoping there's some Santana reaction to the whole Puck/Quinn thing (or at least towards Quinn)... but since she's a minor character, I doubt I'd get it. :P

Oh. THIS! Which is why I can't make up my mind on which pairing I'd really like to see. I want to see all of them. But, then again, this isn't Melrose Place or 90210. Heh. Such an adorable cast.

I couldn't care less about the adult quad, though (Emma, Terri, Ken, Will). A lot of the plot points there annoy me way too much so I try not to think about it. Right now, it's all about the Puck/Rachel/Finn/Quinn quad. And Artie/Tine (just 'cause they're cute). Now, those intrigue me!

Agree on all counts that stories about Ken/Emma/Will/Terri quad should be thrown out of the window and I don't even care. It always drags the show down. ALWAYS.

Now about the teens, the Rachel/Finn/Puck/Quinn is something TPTB desperately wants to mirror the despicable adult quad, which I'm meh on them as pairs, but likable as characters on their own (with an exception of Puck. He has yet to show me something worth likable.) Rachel/Finn is probably the best couple if TPTB didn't push it too hard in the first episode, closely followed by Finn/Quinn.

I'm speculating Tina/Mike as siblings since they share last names. If they are a couple I don't mind. But so far the only guy Tina is always with is Artie. Tina/Artie, like most people said here, it something worth exploring.

Of course Tina is suspected to be a lesbian, So a Tina/Santana or Tina/Brittany is likely to be interesting.

Artie's pairing with ANYONE could be worth watching, simply because his character is underdeveloped. I would like to see friendship (emphasis on friend) between Finn/Artie, since there is a little foreshadowing after Finn rescued Artie out of a locked portable bathroom. Artie/Brittany? Artie/Santana? Artie/Rachel? Oh the possibilities.

Mercedes? Another intriguing character to pair up. Mercedes/Matt is something I would watch.

Kurt/Finn is a known dead end anyways. But I'll appreciate their friendly bond with each other. I'm not sure if he has any interest with Mike/Matt/Puck, if so I'm not even sure he'll end up with any of them. Oh well.

So the possible pairups in Glee is almost as juicy as Gossip Girl/One Tree Hill, if not better.

I like the idea of Mercedes/Puck. I'm not sure how it would come about in the show, but I feel like she would be the one person who would really stand up to him and put him in his place.

Canon!Purt would be so awesome that I'd cry. Honestly. Also, I think it'd be so hot that Mr. EmmaFrost would not be allowed to watch Glee any more.

But I'll take any Kurt romance they give us. I just hope he does not suffer too much (suffering being unavoidable, this being high school). I'd love some Sue romance/backstory.

I don't hate the adults' story, but I feel sad for Ken and Will and Emma should get a room. Quickly. Too much flirtation is just not good.

I'm impatient to see how the Finn/Quinn/Puck/Rachel (and a little bit of Santana) thing ends up. I guess that Santana will not be happy when she finds out that her friend slept with her once-boyfriend.

I'm kind of wondering that, too. In "Showmance" when Puck talks about seeing Santana's ovaries because she bent over in her short cheerleading skirt, he calls her by her full name. It seems unlikely to me that they were together very long anyway, especially considering how not torn up he seemed to be by her breaking up with him over his credit score.

I have this suspicion that Mercedes in particular is never going to have an actual love interest or romantic relationship on this show outside of what we've already seen with Kurt, and that makes me really sad. Anybody else get the impression that she's just going to be the snarky, sassy friend who shoots straight with everybody but is never paired up romantically with anybody?

Maybe Mercedes and Artie and Tina can become a threesome. Or she can have a flaming affair with Howard Bamboo and have lots of chubby, perplexed babies with snappy comebacks at their wee little fingers. Personally, I say give her Harry Shum. The girl's so talented that the character deserves someone who can keep up with her.

Ryan Murphy said, "I’ve done other shows with gay characters, and I will say that in many of those cases, the gay characters didn’t have happy endings. And I thought you know what? Enough" (AfterElton Interview), so I'm optimistic Kurt will get a love life eventually. The pessimist in me, though, thinks it won't be for awhile, and when it happens, it won't get much focus. Still, I have some hope, and I ship Kurt/Mike.

Speaking of relationships, on the platonic side of things, I'd like to see the whole group involved in more scenes together as they become friends, especially the core six (Finn, Rachel, Kurt, Mercedes, Artie, and Tina). I noticed that none of the kids except for the popular kids (Finn, Quinn, Puck, Brittany, Santana, Mike, and Matt) have friends outside of the Glee Club, which I can understand, so I hope to see them interact more as friends in the future.

EDIT: Got what I wanted sooner than I thought.

Agreed about the Kurt/Mike pairing (that's the reason Mike didn't hit the showers with April and the other guys). But first I want them to explore Kurt's unrequited love for Finn--I mentioned in another thread (or two) that that is something that hasn't been shown between major characters on network TV and therefore would be kind of interesting.

I respectfully disagree. Mike's not shagging April in the shower doesn't prove that he's gay anymore than Puck's doing so proves that he's straight.

MY OTPs are Will/Emma, Rachel/Finn & Purt, the latter of which I'm conflicted about. Despite their chemsitry, Puck has a lot of atoning to do re Kurt (the bullying, daily dumpster tossing and nailing his furniture to the roof).

Not to mention in Vitamin D, when Will was announcing the bracket for sectionals, Brittany and Artie were paired/rehearsing together.
