Sorry Paul, I’m still not calling this optimism. Ritter wouldn’t know optimism if it strode up to her and shouted “I’m optimism” in a loud and cheerful voice while accompanying itself on the kazoo.

God I hated Community. If all the gifs that are Community-based could disappear off the internet I’d be happy.

Agreed.

I think this is how I feel too. Not everyone needs a lead show. Side characters can do great work as secondary.

As cool as that incarnation is, the actual guy was COMPLETELY interesting enough on his own. I still remember my highschool history teacher relating the entire sordid tale to us during “Romanov” unit in European History class and being friggin spellbound. Rasputin is one of history’s greatest puzzles.

In defense, it’s Krysten Ritter... “optimistic” isn’t in her range of expressable emotions. Would you settle for “begrudging smiles”?
