Anyone else catch the Charlie St. Cloud poster in Annie's room? Couldn't decide if it was product placement or not, but it was dead=on characterization.

@avclub-7fd1d5cec910c61b1864a51eb7e18cbc:disqus I really don't think that Britta wants to be a mother; she seemed to see it as an inevitability in the Matrimony episode, rather than anything she truly wanted. And while Subway was definitely a healthy move forward, I don't have any problem with the idea that she might…
Honestly, gotta disagree with you on Blade. I absolutely bought that Britta would date him, because it makes her the "better" one in the relationship. I've been in that place in my head, where you have to date someone kinda custed to make you feel stronger - two of my last GF's were heroin users a couple years before…
But I wanna knooooowwww…..
Yeah, I really could care less about J/A stuff, but I really like Troy and Britta as a couple, because they actually seem much more mature than Jeff and Annie. Jeff and Annie feel very high school/early college to me. There's a lot of focus on the physical, Annie's checking a makeout meter, they give big, important…
You make a lot of good points about Britta and the Dean - I'd argue that the inclusion of the Dean is to show that Laybourne is getting more desperate about bringing Troy into the Air Conditioning Repair School, since he's starting to appeal/coerce people beyond Troy himself. (See his visit to Abed a couple weeks ago)…
Going off that theme, I really loved the quick little whip-round after Jeff's self-loathing speech, showing confused Britta, sad Troy, irritated Jeff, flustered Annie… and Abed, sitting there smiling in his chair. Man knows what he likes about himself (even though an Evil Abed appearance could have worked here)
There was a girl in my psych class last year who, with absolutely no irony involved, was planning on naming her baby Edward Jacob, after Twilight. A friend and I refused to catch each others' eye for the rest of the session.
I was really, really bothered by that until they revealed that Annie switched the phone numbers. Just sitting there watching her fall for obvious manipulation seemed really out of character for an intelligent former addict.
I liked the noir plot fine, but this one just put all its comedy weight on the musical montages, which I personally saw as very weak. But maybe they were funny for you! I'm glad! Everything works differently for different people.
@avclub-b7784c8bc13cfa7214f249fef97abfe9:disqus It's because he was being honest about how he felt towards her, and (presumably) being very nice and loving, and he knew as he wrote it that it would kill any interest Britta had in Blade and in him by proxy. Because she's kind of broken and dates dudes that treat her…
That whole Troy bit was fucking devastating. I really want to know what he wrote. Do you think We'll ever find out? It feels like too much of a smoking gun to leave unseen.
What happened to her, anyway?
Loved it, sorry. Totally adorable.
I wanted it to be Michael Sheen.
I need your help reacting to something.
Yeah, those musical montages didn't really work for me. they felt forced - Not as bad as the ones in the UN episode, but still awkward.
Honestly, though, there's a difference between shooting a fairly conventional story in an unconventional style (Community) and a story that absolutely makes your skin crawl on a network sitcom. It's the jarring weirdness that really does it.

That would be cool, but unfortunately, I'm a dude.
