I love Jeff/Annie so much I cannot talk about them. Thus I have nothing smart to add to this post cause I LOVE THEM SO FREAKING MUCH THAT I JUST CAN'T TALK ABOUT THEM.

[beckerbell]

I want to be one of those thoughtful and intelligent fans when it comes to Community and Jeff/Annie, but I think we both know that that's just not going to happen. But that's okay! BECAUSE, FOR ONCE, FANDOM LOVES THE SHIP I LOVE WITH A FIERY PASSION. COMMUNITY FANDOM, YOU'RE PRETTY OKAY. (Even if I could do without some of the butthurt whiners. :P)

[zauberer_sirin]

Yeah, I think Jeff/Annie has a lot of insightful fans that can do that work for us. And the awesome fic. oh the fic.

(in a way i find it funny, because 90% of my flist is Jeff/Britta so i'm kind of used to a non-Jeff/Annie enviroment, but as soon as i step out of my flist it hits me how many people love this pairing with a passion. and i don't even want to whine about how the Jeff/Annie fans got treated by Jeff/Britta fans during the week prior to the finale; i almost believed that i really was a delusional bitch when in fact the Jeff/Annie had been building slowly during the whole season in a way that the outcome of the finale was entirely satisfying. and i mean OBJETIVELY satisfying, nevermind what you ship, it was narratively satifying in way that no other ending would have been. whoever says otherwise are blinded by bias.)

I have been amazed at some of the writing for this ship--and bless you for the link! *___*

In theory I can sort of understand the feeling, because the show clearly was setting up Jeff/Britta early on and a lot of people may have felt they signed up for that show. I can get that. But Jeff/Annie had the kind of chemistry a lot of people picked up on and, I'll admit, there were times when I thought I was a delusional shipper, too. But looking back over the season, it really was there. Not major moments, but how else do you interpret Annie dressing more professor-like once Jeff started dating Slater? You don't have to like it, but it didn't come out of nowhere. And that finale was great on all levels, not just from a shipping standpoint. And, as long as the show keeps the funny coming, I think I'll be happy with it.

(Though, I will stop to say that most of the Jeff/Britta fans I've encountered are actually pretty cool! It's generally more the OMG WHY ARE THERE SHIPPERS IN MY FANDOM IT IS RUUUUUUINNNNNNEDD!!! fans that tend to

somebody rec'd Cougar Town to me, seeing that your reaction is on the positive side, I might try it one of this days!

also, I need more anime confirmations for Fall 2010! :|

[beckerbell]

I will give it the caveat that it doesn't get good until probably six or seven episodes in (well, I loved it from the beginning, but the show I really fell in love with didn't happen for awhile) but you could probably tell by then if it was going to click with you or not. I HOPE IT DOES BECAUSE I WANT TO SHAAAAAARE.

Seriously, tell me about it. :| I will give the rest of this season a shot, but I am definitely not that enamored with it. I WOULD LIKE THE NEW SEASON NOW PLZ.

[statr]

oh, I think I can definitely stick around up to six or seven episodes. I like Courteney Cox so waiting until those episodes will not be that excruciating. XD

I gave up Seitokai Yakuindomo and Mitsudomoe, and only kept up with Ookami-san. I'd actually rather download older animes rather than see what's in this season. so disappointing. :\

also, I finished all Community episodes yesterday and have yet to watch it soon. haha.

[beckerbell]

Yeah, Ookami-san and Occult Gakuin are the only two I'm really excited about still. And Sengoku Basara, but I'm still in the first season for that one. Other than that, I'm dragging my feet on everything and going to watch Western TV instead.

Community is excellent. I have been so amazed at this season's comedies! Modern Family, Cougar Town, The Middle, and Community have all been major hits with me. ♥♥♥

Oh, yes! CLAMP's name comes from humble beginnings! (From somewhere else someone joked that it was one way of referring to marijuana too, and I choked.) I laughed and thought it was very adorable of them to choose a name like that. And to misspell clump...oh, Japan.

I prefer CLAMP over CLUMP, though, to be honest. .____.

[beckerbell]

I love that CLAMP is an actual word (despite that I've never heard of it before?) and just... A CLAMP OF POTATOES. I LOVE THOSE CRAZY GIRLS FOREVER.

Well, maybe not forever. The wounds from TRC still haven't healed, you guys. >:|q
