Jaye's relationship with Sharon is my favorite dynamic, but that might be colored by how fantastic the actress is in the role. Everytime she's onscreen I am made happy.

and the stress of that made her act unpromptedly oddly.

Oh, I think she was obviously mental from, "Your ass is ringing," on.

And the things that made the fireworks set off in his eyes were her crazy bits.

But Jaye IS CRAZY. And she was doing the dance of the mid-20's... with the I like you, don't I like you, I won't tell you I like you shit going on.

This made me laugh, for I do this in my 30s more than I did it in my 20s.

Eric really shouldn't be on Jaye's nut so much.

But he wasn't on her nut. He was passive-aggressively trying to find out if he should really ditch Heidi for her (Heidi must really be blind/cold/needy to have stayed as long as she did, for more than one reason) pretty much the whole time. But not really on her nut.

And even if she kept being the girl he met in the pilot, I wouldn't hold it against him for realising that what he thought was cute was really dementia, and backing away. But she didn't stay being her. She got both nicer and crazier.

I think she was obviously mental from, "Your ass is ringing," on.

See, I thought that could be quirky and tangential. I think she unfrayed much more plus demonstrated an unrelenting pattern.

You know what it's like? I always hated Desi for being annoyed by Lucy.

DUDE! You MARRIED the woman! Now you're going to be annoyed by those things that made you want her?

And what was Eric's ish? That he wanted her to commit, I think, right? He wanted her to write him a note with a heart over the "i" in Eric, "I like you, do you like me? Check one: [yes] [no]."

This is definitely true. As is Jaye's relationship with Aaron. I like how right the ganging up on Sharon worked in the 3 sibling family. Mean, but funny as hell.

Also, I loved Jaye's parents.

I know this is probably super controversial, but I can't see how there would have been a second season of Wonderfalls. I really enjoyed the arc and I'm glad it felt finished (I too want my closure!) But if there had been a second season, what would it have been? I mean, on the Jaye and Eric arc. Would they have broken up and gotten back together to break up again?

The thing about romantic comedies where the couples don't start the narrative encoupled (a la Mad About You), the getting them together is the good bit. The together/apart/together is just lame because you end up with a soap opera.

I'm glad Jaye and Eric had a very big kiss. I'm glad that they seemed on their way to togetherhood (with the definite possibility of breakuphood on the horizon). But I'm also glad I didn't have to watch them do that dance again and again.

I do want to know how Mahandra and Aaron shake out, with the big kiss outside the store, and the look of shock and possibly horror on Jaye's face. I liked that Karen didn't seem to be freaked out at the prospect of Mahandra and Aaron encoupled, and that she smiled. I miss that story line more (at least as far as romantic storylines go).

That he wanted her to commit, I think, right?

I think he'd have settled for open or honest. Or vaguely reasonable. She wasn't any of those.

And Eric didn't marry Jaye. He was trying not to choose her.

I want to know about Sharon and her girlfriend too! What happened with Poor Bitch?

I'm gonna be ready soon to rank my fave episodes from least to most, or vice versa. Interestingly I have as much competition for least as I do for most.

What did happen to the girlfriend of Sharon?

And, given that Jaye teases Sharon about hitting on a member of CLAW and using the Republican Party as a dyke dating service in Barrel Bear I'm confused. Are they still together or not? Barrel Bear seems so out of order EVERYWHERE. I mean, after Crime Dog? It could work. But anywhere else? NSM.

Also, the one continuity thing that BUGGED was the weather. The tanktops while watching Eric install the satellite dish during Lovesick Ass followed by the snow of Caged Bird makes me shake my head. Or wonder EXACTLY how much time passed.

I know this is probably super controversial, but I can't see how there would have been a second season of Wonderfalls.

I think maybe the squick of Mahandra/Aaron may have caused a rift, and the second season could arc out her friendships. Or Jaye trying to decide on career possibilities that would take her away from Niagara and her family, which is more interesting, I think. Job in NYC and an end to that inertia, or Wonderfalls and her friends/family/Eric?

In my head, post-Crime Dog is too late for Barrell Bear. Or too early. Jaye's way too perky for Eric to be that early in his attempt to hit on her.

Or maybe that's who he was trying to date. But mostly I chalk it up to sloppy episode, with no real overarching function.
