I probably lean more towards Jeff/Annie than anything on this show, but that ending has me a bit worried about season 2, because where the hell are they going with this? I don't get it.
As for Britta, I really do think that she let Shirley talk her into going for it with Jeff, but the Slater rivalry pushed her over the edge into insanity where she declared her love for Jeff without even really considering if it was a good idea, never mind if it was how she was actually feeling. I think the biggest problem is that the show didn't take the time to show that she wasn't really in her right mind when she did that, probably because they wanted to end it on a Jeff/Annie note. But it really did Britta a disservice, in my opinion. She's been awesome lately, but she's virtually unrecognizable in this episode because the only clue we have that her declaration is more about the rivalry than about her feelings is the fact that THIS ISN'T BRITTA. And I think it's asking too much of an audience to have that much faith in the show's characterization
Hey; I stumbled upon your journal thru friends who use your icons. And you seem like a cool person as we watch so many of the same shows. And people who are art majors are insanely awesome, if I do say so myself. Is it okay if I add you? :)
I'm a couple of eps behind on Community, but it sounds like the finale went in the direction I was seeing tendencies of in the very first episodes(which kept me on the fence as well). But then it was going so great, I fell in love, and now there is stabbing! Stabbing of the back! *grumpy*
I'm on s1 of P&R, looking forward to the awesome there for sure :) I hear the actress that played Wendy Watson on The Middleman is going to be doing several episodes on the show as well. Nothing bad could possibly come out of that.
