Yeah. This is an episode that needs time to process. The good thing about insomnia is you get the videos the minute they're up on hulu (and unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with Joss' Glee; don't know what I was expecting, but the whole show's going down a Very Special Episode path where they're trying to humanize everyone and make them likable/relatable, but that really puts a cork on the satire.The first few episodes were brilliant because they combined such generally unlikable characters (who you like for their unlikability) with such heartwarming musical numbers.Wow - tangent), so I just finished Community. And basically? Whatever Emmie said. I still need processing time, and actually would have liked more Abed commentary on the usual tropes of TV love triangles, but it was a brilliant contrast between the immature Britta and Slater and the grown-up realizations Annie and Jeff made, which made the kiss more real to me. I felt good about the kiss because both Jeff and Annie were being so adult and honest about it. So . . . yay?!

I am totally over Glee now and have moved on to the "I'm glad Glee exists if only so that Community can make fun of it" camp. Even the presence of NPH couldn't save it for me this past week.

and actually would have liked more Abed commentary on the usual tropes of TV love triangles, I always want more of that.

but it was a brilliant contrast between the immature Britta and Slater and the grown-up realizations Annie and Jeff made, which made the kiss more real to me. I felt good about the kiss because both Jeff and Annie were being so adult and honest about it. So . . . yay?! Totally agreed. I just hope we don't skip over their interactions, because I really want to see the fall-out of all of this, and it makes me nervous that this happened in the finale. I WANT TO SEE THEM.
