Like, on the one hand, it's Jeff/Annie, so YES. Plus, Annie was acting far more like an adult than the other two ladies in this episode. And she looked so lovely and grown up!
I think the episode was weak, but I was flailing all the way through it because Jeff and Annie were acting all BFF-y. Like, talking to each other like friends and adults, and I was thinking, "This is all I need to fuel my love of this ship. This right here."
AND THEN IT HAPPENED.
And I totally see what you're saying about subverting the choosing thing, but at the same time, I don't feel like there was enough lead-up for this to be sustainable. I trust the writers because they've been nearly flawless so far, but I'm just really confused as to where they're going with this. I just don't think it'll end up as well for our ship as we'd like to think. Not that it'll get sunk--because they aren't the type to do that--but that it'll be more complicated than people anticipate.
Britta telling Jeff she loved him was STUPID. It made me angry on Britta's behalf. It didn't fit, and I like Britta. I could have dealt with the two of them being together as long as they still acted like themselves. But this was just dumb.
WORD. Like, the whole time I kept expecting it to be a joke or something, like she was just messing with him or they were going to twist the will-they-won't-they trope somehow, but then she said it and it just stretched out awkwardly, and sometime after it came back from the commercial break, it dawned on me that she probably actually meant it, and that is SO NOT BRITTA.
I agree that it's definitely not going to be a happy ending for Jeff/Annie, but I just have NO idea where they'll go with it. I am so caught off-guard.
It really burns me because I really love Britta! And doing that, like that, in public, for that reason just did a great disservice to her character, I think.
but I just have NO idea where they'll go with it. I am so caught off-guard.
And I have a feeling we'll speculate all summer and still never figure it out.
Maybe they will fix it and make Britta all better next season? *hopes*
Okay, speculation: 1. Jeff and Annie will totally do it like bunnies all summer, but it will have ended by the time the semester starts, and it'll be awkward. 2. They'll still be together, but they don't tell the group, because THAT would be awkward, but of course, they act all weird and it eventually comes out. 3. They DO tell the group, which results in Britta being all weird and jealous some more. 4. Jeff and Annie will pretend it didn't happen and three months later, they'll still be where they are right now.
