Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I liked the show a lot, Allyson. I think Zooey Deschanel gives her charm and sweetness. And a LotR ref is always going to score points with me.
I did miss a little of the end because Sara was explaining her math test, in depth, to me, but I'm planning to watch it again.
If Kristen or ita had done that on my couch when they moved in, they would have been living with one of you other people within 24 hours.
I thought everyone loved the show but me.
I have yet to read a positive review that doesn't include some level of "but thank god Jess is fictional because anyone who acted like that in real life would be too annoying to put up with even for a second." So far the most positive comments I've seen have been along the lines of "charming on TV but completely unbelievable because come on, nobody's THAT dorky in real life and if they were I would hate them."
So it's been really lovely to have the entire internet confirming all my worst fears about myself all day. Really, just splendid.

Huh. My whole twitter feed is in love with it.
Why do some many people on the internet want this?
Do you want me to explain why I started lighting things on fire, or let it lie? I mean, I don't want to be an additional dickhead in your sphere, seriously.

Jess, I was having a very similar response to people's reactions to Amy Farrah Fowler on Big Bang Theory. But at least she's a more minor character, so every review isn't about her.

I just want to say, one of the things that I loved about Jess is that she seems genuine. She simply is who she is, and I value that. She's not drawing attention to her "otherness" and she doesn't expect special treatment. I loved that about her.
Thank you Sue!
It started off with a fender bender with a school bus (the bus's fault, and I was a passenger) but has gone uphill from there!
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, Jess. Truly.
Jessica,
no way in any possible world are you that annoying. No possible way.
Happy birthday, Sophia!!
