Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Troy and Britta are more in need of resolution right now. Jeff and Annie are in a stable place right now, as I see it. Troy and Britta are teetering on the edge of something undefined.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oooh, that, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Interesting perspective on the Harmon situation: [link]

I like that post. It's reasonable and sounds like they know what they're talking about. It's dispiriting how many commenters I saw taking extreme positions while conflating Sony and NBC (not even presuming collusion, just not distinguishing between the two relationships to the show).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I know that's a mistake I was making, conflating the two. And sorting that out made everything make a lot more sense. That post is very clear and agrees with a lot of the conclusions I've been coming to, and I always like that.

I'm very pleased that Megan Ganz seems to be sticking around, she wrote some great episodes - Lupine Urology and at least one other standout, I think.

Really, I'm still sad that Harmon won't get a chance to surprise me by making an even better 4th season (and by better I mean more satisfying and rewarding to me personally) than 3rd season, but I have to recognize that it would have been a surprise just because this 3rd season was so damn good.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Lupine Urology and at least one other standout, I think.

Cooperative Calligraphy, or the Bottle Episode where Annie loses her pen, which is probably on my top-five episode list. I really like Ganz's work and am slightly reassured that she's staying on, although overall remaining apprehensive.

I haven't gone into interweb to seek out reactions from the fan base because I haven't the energy. Overall, I think I'm happy we'll get 13 more eps, even if that's Harmon-less?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The reactions from the fanbase are generally OMGFREAKOUT.

Yup.

And I've seen a lot of "St. Dan Harmon" too, which...

I dunno. It's not Pruitt-gate or anything, but it's also not clean hands on all sides.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

(shrug). Harmon is probably an asshole, but I have very little enthusiasm for the new season.

very little. I think there is a solid reason to be worried.

Yeah, I've exhausted all my OMGFREAKOUT capacity with the cancellation of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles a couple of years back. Nowadays, most I can summon up for non-great stuff that's media-related is a temporary sadface and a philosophical shrug.
