D:

That is ridiculous! Of course Britta is capable of love. She just has a hard time letting herself believe it, I think. She's cynical about it and maybe at this point of time she's still a little too guarded to really let someone in, but that's what the study group is doing for her - it's making her believe that she can be loved and doesn't have to go and screw herself over on purpose because of her deep rooted belief that she's gonna fuck it up anyway.

Which is why this whole confession is gonna SUCK for Britta, because she really did put a lot of herself out there (albeit in a really stupid way) and was rejected. Not that Jeff had to love her back, because that's not how it works, but I really wish he hadn't rejected her and then completely vanished/made out with Annie because Britta needs to know that he still cares about her a lot.

So um. Yeah, I'm also really excited to see how they handle the Britta/Jeff tension because they've been really good at setting themselves back to square one, but a confession of love? Can that really be waved away?

Jeff/Annie is totally adorable and I understand it's appeal, but for me it's a little too... TV coupley? Like, the cool thing about Jeff and Britta's relationship is that it feels kind of... real. It's not rainbows and sunshine - it's messy and complicated and stupid. Sometimes they bring out the worst in each other! Sometimes the best! And sometimes they kiss or fuck and maybe it doesn't have to mean everything the way that Jeff/Annie moments seem to be. IDK.

Personally, I think Jeff is way too much of an asshole to ever make it with Annie. I definitely think he'd break her heart. I like Jeff/Britta in the way that they're both messed up and jaded and bitter.

Annie is too much of a sweetheart to recognize that. Jeff/Annie would NEVER work, and I really hope they don't make it a thing.

I also still can't get totally behind Jeff/Annie as a serious relationship because of the mental/emotional/physical age gap. It's not just that he's like 15+ years older than her. It's that he is at a point in his life where he seems to be wanting to settle down and Annie's just beginning to really find out what she wants out of life. It can be cute for awhile, but they're going to come down to earth sooner or later.

I am hoping that having Jeff/Annie happen now means that the show will be able to move past it soon enough. I'd really love to have a Jeff sort of lose his mojo for a bit and not be the center of all the romantic flow.

I kind of hate the finale for being so SRS BSNS. It was kind of easy to forget my general "don't get to shippy in comedies" rule because I end up taking it too seriously and it's not fun anymore.

I try not to laugh when I read those intense, intense analysis of like... Jeff looking at Annie from the corner of his eye or something. It's kind of ridiculous, and I can't imagine you're appreciating the pure funny when you're doing that.

Besides, Pierce/Shirley needs love too.
