Holy crap! Really? That sucks. I'm so used to being the opposite end of this, e.g., reading on DenOfGeek.com about some awesome British sitcom or drama that's never going to air on American television even though there is BBC America here. Well, at least it sounds like you're still managing to watch the show…

I should be mad at you for having rather masterfully taken the piss out of my argument, but I'm not - I'm just impressed. I was aware of the show's subversion of the will they/won't they dynamic between Annie and Jeff, in that they will proceed as expected before stopping and shining a light on the inherent…

Season 3 DVD not available in the UK? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I would imagine you'll get the same special features on your DVD as those of us in the US. If so, the commentaries are a strange beast. Most of them were clearly recorded early as Dan Harmon is a featured commentator on over half, and he…

For Annie, the new showrunners said she would switch to forensics and explore if the Jeff thing is just in her head. By the end of this episode, you could argue both sides - it's all in her head or there is something there even though in many ways they are not compatible. On Jeff's side, maybe he's been paired with…

Your complaint about Anthro 101 essentially cancelling "Pascal's Triangle Revisited" is valid. Harmon even has Abed notify the audience that after Anthro 101 they will be moving away from relationship-y drama and heading toward hijinks and pop culture riffs. So, they paired Jeff off with both Britta and Annie and…

Completely agreed on the improvement in this episode in Jeff/Annie's talk on the couch over their talk in the study room at the end of Geography of Global Conflict.  If you listen to the DVD commentary for that one, the writer admits they dropped the ball and McHale and Brie admit to having found the scene very…

I wrote earlier how I wasn't quite buying Britta and Troy as a couple.  But you make some great points, particularly in the comparison to the fantasy version of Annie and Jeff.  I think we still need to see the two become a bit more demonstrative (again, have they even kissed yet?), but they do complement each other…

Understood. Apologies. It's a lame defense, but long time reader, first time commenter. Put paragraph breaks next time or just less verbose. Check. Thank.

I was in love with Anthro 101 from the cold open "I don't like where that's going" joke from Jeff in reaction to Britta and then even more pronounced reading of the same line in reaction to the lovestruck Annie.  Heck, even before that when they're more concerned about Toy Story 3 than Britta being mia is pretty…

The almost uniformly negative early word on this episode from the professional critics who saw it set the bar low.  However, I liked it, early negative press or not.

On Jeff/Annie Likely a by-product of the show's hyper-awareness of its online community, the show itself became too self-aware of the potential negative reaction to the age difference between the two. Last year, in "Remedial Chaos Theory" and "Virtual Systems Analysis" they established the new status quo as Jeff is…
