Last month, with the return of Community, Bitch wrote a piece discussing the ridiculousness of will they/won’t they hookup storylines. I read it, agreeing with every single point.
Then I started watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix and got really emotionally invested in April and Andy’s relationship.
Then I got even more emotionally invested in Leslie and Ben’s relationship.
Now I’m watching The IT Crowd and all I can think is Ooooooh, I hope Roy and Jen get together (sorry Moss). Seriously? It doesn’t even make sense why they would. How am I so brainwashed that I expect romantic story arcs in shows in which there is not need for a romantic story arc? My only guess is that I have never written a story where people end up together so it’s like this perverse voyeurism for me to see people happily ever after. I am actually sitting here trying to think if I have ever written a story where people are happy together at the end. I guess Merry Fucking Christmas no one breaks up or cheats on their partner or has awkward sex with someone who doesn’t really care about them. That’s sadly the best I can do.
Oh and best wedding I’ve ever been to: Jim and Pam’s on The Office. Something may be seriously wrong in my brain.
