I've always found Jeff/Annie creepy because of the age difference.
Yes! And usually on shows, they can sell you whatever they want - they can just leave out the uncomfortable bits and write it like everything's perfect. But they never did that with Annie. They inserted her when she brought tension, and in those episodes, brought Annie's sexuality into the foreground and made her look really attractive. But apart from that physical aspect, the writing never tried to make them work. The field was never level between them.
Not that I care about het ships anyway, erm. *g* To be honest, I'm glad to have a good one again now. There's been nothing but slash before. Okay, Vampire Diaries has a cool het ship (or two), as well. But slash is just not all that satisfying for me. The relationship has to be on screen for me to work well. Gay soaps are totally fine, of course.
Plus, I like Britta better.I like her a lot, actually. There are some quirks about her that I don't understand, but I like most

Thank you. It feels pathetic to be waiting for someone to discuss this with me, because I love it so much and it would be so much better to share it with someone. And the posts just... you know, lie there without a single comment. But I've gotten used to writing them up, and also, it's slowing down my progress, which is a good thing. So I'm actually feeling good about it now, no matter whether anyone cares. *g*
and who has the time?!
I know exactly what you mean. I have not watched a single episode of anything else (neither Vampire Diaries nor White Collar) since I started with Community. I don't have time for much, either.
when I was 21 I lived with a 34-yr old for several months
My first boyfriend was 6 or 7 years old than me, too. I can absolutely see the allure of experience - it seems amazing from the point of view of the inexperienced. So I can see why Annie sees in Jeff. But I cannot see how Jeff would not squick himself out by getting with Annie, when all he does is treat her like a child. *shudder*
S2 they're making strides, but to my way of thinking they have a long way to go yet.
Sounds good. She deserves to be treated like an adult. Also: Jeff and Britta have a long way to go, too. More in the development of their own personality, and accepting it, than anything to do with the other one.
I do love the season-ending kiss, though. It was just such a perfect thing to toss in at the end, and letting Brie and MHale actually play out their chemistry that way was a brilliant moment of O_O :O for the audience.I loved it for the totally deliberate chain-yanking that it is - few shows go overboard the way Community does. I didn't find it

No, you're not. And I'd write more, but I watched it MONTHS ago and my brain isn't what it used to be, so I'd have to re-watch, and who has the time?!
Just watched the latest episode (twice) btw. Awesome guest stars these days.
