So yes, I watch a fair amount of television. And that being the case, I've decided that I should talk more on this blog about some of the shows I'm watching, starting with a little roundup of thoughts on my favorite recent season finales. (Yes, I have chosen to start talking more about television at a time when most shows are on hiatus. Whatever.)
Season Finales
This show sneakily became my favorite show of the season. I've fallen in love with the antics and "weird little relationship" of Troy and Abed; with Shirley as the tough but sweet Christan single mom; with Britta's quirkiness and Annie's intensity and Jeff's snark; and yes, even with Pierce's oddly endearing ignorance. Meta humor abounds (the paintball episode that parodied Die Hard and 28 Days Later and basically every other action movie ever, was absolute epic perfection) and yet, there's a sweetness and a heart behind it all so that in the end you're really just rooting for this entire ragtag study group to always be BFF's 4Life.
The finale spun the typical love triangle drama as Prof. Slater and Britta battled it out for Jeff's affection (all this was interlaced of course with jokes about jumping the shark and the consumption of a giant cookie and men in dalmatian costume and Ken Jeong punching John Oliver in the face with a roll of quarters) but everything got turned on its head when Jeff ends up making out with Annie as the screen fades to black. And yes, I realize that there's supposed to be like a sixteen-some-odd-year difference between Jeff and Annie but I don't care. Joel McHale and Alison Brie have kickass chemistry and those kisses were kind of hot. Plus, their characters just somehow make adorable sense together. I don't expect that any sort of romantic entanglement will ever take center stage on this show but I'm intrigued to see how it will all go down next season.
