Like a high school crush, where they view each other from afar, go "oh, pretty," and when they hook up, realize there's absolutely no substance to their relationship and move on.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if this strange "from afar" thing is because they're both socially inept. At least, it would make sense from what we know of both of the characters. (Oh, I know what you're going to say, I already know it ;) I mean, Keller never had a normal high school life, she never had peers her age, so I almost wonder if maybe this is just as awkward for her as it is for Rodney.
just stumbling awkwardly forward
See, if they were actually written as stumbling awkwardly forward, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I would find it believable, and probably endearing. But it's only awkward and uncomfortable for me as a viewer to see them suddenly get over all of their hangups in a matter of hours and act like they've been dating for months.
and the fact they're putting so much screen time into it when there's so little of the show left just frustrates me
Oh, I know. And I hate to defend them since they managed to push me into rant mode... but I think had they actually known 100% for sure that they weren't going to get renewed, we'd probably have more team focused episodes. They're not trying to do this to us intentionally (although sometimes I wonder)... it's just sort of happening that way.
But I still love the show! Hopefully we won't fight next week.
