I admit I only saw the first few episodes of 'New Girl' and I stopped after the Justin Long appearance. She might have changed after that but that was some highly concentrated MPDG for a while. The show was even marketed that way.

How can you see other people's grades?

I went into this one wanting to like it because it was written by Jim Rash and the trailer looked promising. To be fair it was very funny, but the more I think about it the flaws you point out are really glaring.

But she plays one on TV…and in everything else she's in.

Lovely Bones, my thoughts exactly.

Annie is not Deschanel as in she's not an MPDG or something like that. Annie has her shit together, she's confident and capable of getting things done. The only things that held her back were things that teens typically go through, and now that she has overcome most of that you would think she would be taking on…

I haven't seen that dark side in a long time. It needs to actually be there for that trait to have any meaning. Otherwise it's "oh Annie is playing pretend again, how cute" like it has been this season.

I am saying the two scripts have nothing in common besides that.

First they would have to learn to talk using different words at different times from each other.

We get it! But what of it!

Chill, you are weirdly militant about 'shipping. I am not remotely arguing that they should be together because I don't like Jeff/Annie any more than Troy/Britta. I am just asking what is the point to Annie anymore if there is nothing to her beyond the fact that she plays pretend? Wouldn't it be nice to see some…

What does this episode have in common with 'The Descendants'

I get how you could have liked them before this season but what about them this season kept you on board? They had less chemistry than a music major.

So…is that it? Because that pretty much makes Annie an irrelevant character since, what, season 2? I can't think of all that sizzling sexual tension they had early on and ignore it as just her playing at love. That was real and I think her saying what she did in VSA is her lying to herself. Otherwise there's not much…

I'm not buying that. Melting for Draper and Han Solo is one thing because they're these static ideals of people she doesn't know and can invest temporary squeeling feelings in. With Jeff it's very personal for her and I don't buy that she would see it the same way as Draper and Han Solo. It actually cheapens whatever…

Oh give it up. Racism would imply hate.

If committing to bits isn't stupid then Jeff owes Nick Kroll an apology.

I didn't like Troy/Britta either but it would have been more satisfying a breakup if their relationship arc was worthy of a concluding episode like this.

OMG I just noticed! You think it's a metaphor for him being adrift in a sea of conformity or some such shit?

Lol, well that sure is a fair assessment.
