I thought these caricatured characters were really humanized at the end of that episode. And as much as I've enjoyed CeCe and Schmidt's humorous loathing toward one another -- and see no reason for it to end, really -- I don't know there's a solid foundation for them as a couple. It'll be interesting to see where the writers go now that their secret is out.<br /><br />Now that I'm thinking about it, Max Greenfield is the saving grace of this show. I might enjoy him in a relationship with a rock.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-35388702679287268392012-04-26T10:40:43.121-04:002012-04-26T10:40:43.121-04:00I know, Sara - I've never mourned a Hollywood ...I know, Sara - I've never mourned a Hollywood divorce more.Wattsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-57216121333748673492012-04-26T10:40:25.149-04:002012-04-26T10:40:25.149-04:00Why Jess-Schmidt?

I think the laziness is in the thought that passion and drama are inextricable. But my chief disagreement with the writers is that both parts of the passion come out of nowhere. Where have we ever seen Nick and Jess appreciate each other in anything other than a friendly or familial way? And where have we ever seen them get explosively mad at each other without any kind of build-up at all? We've seen them argue, but it ratchets up a bit at a time as one or both of them acts unreasonable and both dig in their heels. isaac_spacemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-64501835837434911492012-04-25T16:03:43.127-04:002012-04-25T16:03:43.127-04:00No, the obvious conclusion is that Writers Are Laz...No, the obvious conclusion is that Writers Are Lazy. Characters break up all of the time for unnecessary reasons. There are two plot contrivances that drive be insane -- characters broken apart due to a misunderstanding (the plot of most romantic comedies), and when characters break up over a fixable concern (or at least fixable over time). <br /><br />I will hand it to 'Grey's' for its convincing dissolution of relationships.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-85820948214730049792012-04-25T15:51:23.534-04:002012-04-25T15:51:23.534-04:00The discussion point in my home last night: my wif...The discussion point in my home last night: my wife believes that Jess' decision to consciously, actively seek drama to the point of giving up on a healthy relationship makes Jess extremely unlikable. Regardless of positioning for a Jess-Nick romance, that was an unforgivable character motivation in my wife's eyes.<br /><br />I suggested that we have known plenty of women to make similar decisions in real life, and was rewarded with the television all to myself for the rest of the evening.<br /><br />Still, my wife has no interest in watching next week, and I agree that it was a terrible decision that seemed to come out of nowhere. Perhaps between that and CeCe's decision to let her sex-freak roommate have a go at Schmidt rather than admit her fellings to him, the obvious conclusion is that Women Are Dumb.<br /><br />Oh, and something about Schmidt's workout video.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-48618049591856125172012-04-25T15:40:46.866-04:002012-04-25T15:40:46.866-04:00I want a Nadia spin-off.I want a Nadia spin-off.spacewomannoreply@blogger.com
