Well, a rant is a rant ;) I really don't expect a lot of people to agree with me. I just sort of needed to get it off my chest. Usually once I do, I can just move past what's bugging me. Because this? Is such a minor thing in the show. I've just been sitting on the annoyance for a while because I wanted to be utterly squeeful about our last season.
I did enjoy almost the entire episode. I think if I wasn't so emotionally invested into the show, it wouldn't have bugged me as much as it did. I usually just roll my eyes and move on. I don't think it's even that it's rushed that it bugged me... I don't know, it's hard to explain. I think I'm just more irritated at the fact that I've got to try and reslot things about the characters in my head. Really, it's a selfish thing ;)
It's not going to ruin the show for me, short of them killing off the cast and revealing it's all been a dream, I don't think they could.
we don't actually share the same brain!! *phew*
Are you sure? Perhaps it means that our shared brain is having some sort of epic internal struggle that is manifesting itself in strange ways.
Is it specifically for Rodney/Jennifer that you have a problem with the age gap?
I think it's just the characters, because usually I'm not bothered by it. (In fact, even with these two characters it didn't use to bother me, but it seriously twigged me out in this episode.) I think I'm reacting to not believing the relationship the way they've done it, and the age gap in this case makes it more awkward.
(And I would never have a problem with other people's relationships in real life. That's a totally different beast than fictional-characters-who-I'm-possibly-too-emotionally-invested-in.)
