Pierce died. There was an entire episode about incest. The study group not only maliciously turned on each other but also turned on the entire school. Jeff became much more prone to rage and violence, especially against Abed.
This is a jaded, bitter, Dan Harmon. He looked at her, and his heart opened the door. What a comedy. So he wanted to be in control of the story. And then it got away from him. And rather than embrace it, Harmon fought it tooth and nail for the entirety of the series.
Oh, sure, he would acknowledge the relationship but every time he did, there were always caveats attached to it. Harmon gave shippers the very thing that they wanted to hear most, and yet he STILL emerged with the upper hand in the scenario by patronizing them. He wins. Shippers will never win. But Harmon was smart, right? Alas, that never happened. They just function THAT well together.
Now, I do agree with part of this statement. He daydreams about a life with her and dream! Annie asks if he even knows what she wants for her future. Jeff assumes she wants a house and a kid. Because he never asked. As if somehow it was beyond his control. Similarly, Dan Harmon, if you WANTED to write a better love story — if you wanted to be able to say that Jeff and Annie understood one another — maybe the simple solution would have been to write it.
They can be in love the second he doesn't actually have to write them in love. Oh, perfect, such good timing. Good job, Harmon. Ugh, moving on. Increase the age gap more. Sure, when the show began and Annie was eighteen years old, fresh out of high school, there was a gap between her and Jeff. But by the time season six rolled around, Annie is twenty-three years old, right? We pretty much all assume that. Since that took place in season four, two years later in the finale given a birthday he would — indeed — have been 37 years old.
Age gap: 14 years. Excuse me while I go punch a wall. In turn, the group protects Annie and loves her. Had the group listened to the Ace of Hearts to begin with, who knows what might have happened. The thing about Annie is that she never stops fighting for what she believes to be true, even if everyone else dismisses her. No, love is strength. He was falling for her. He had what he wanted but with two different people. So no, if anyone loved more in this relationship, it was definitely JEFF.
Jeff loved Annie, I have no doubt about that. I only wish these revelations had been addressed in-show. Not commentary. Not deleted scenes. Not an after-the-fact, haphazard paragraph thrown together which served to simultaneously delight and enrage shippers. If Dan Harmon had truly desired to grow Jeff and Annie — if he cared enough about them and respected their journeys enough — he would have addressed the relationship.
There would have been a scene of discussion. They would have talked about their feelings. But see, addressing romance is impossible for Harmon to do until after the show has ended, right? If he had any respect for the characters, he would have realized that what they deserved and what would make them better would be to address their relationship. From there, he could have tried his hand at writing romance but ewwww, icky apparently or moved on from the pairing entirely I would have accepted this, too.
Instead of resolution and instead of growth, we got stagnation and patronization. How is THAT benefiting characters? How is THAT enhancing a story or an arc?
Not now that I know this was all some way for you to prove that love may exist, but cynicism will always win in the end anyway. Thanks for that one, dude. Our minds were running in the same track today, apparently.
