That Jess storyline was just some bizarre fiction that a stalker dreams about.

I hope so. Not a fun a-plot.

It's kind of crazy how bad the titular character has become in this show. Her storyline this episode was not only unfunny, but also quite hosed up and weird. Dude's restraining order was completely justified and she was doing a wonderful job of showing why, then they suddenly get back together? I'm really confused by this show now.

I'm finishing off the season and then shelving this show myself. Maybe I'll watch the finale once its announced, or finish it out on Netflix once its totally done, but keeping up with it isn't worth it.

Don't forget that Jess is literally a stand-in for how Elizabeth Meriweather sees herself.

At some point, that begins to hinder the show, since everything has to be unbelievable and adorkable.

With the exception of this episode she's not really less mature than the other characters. It's not like Nick, Winston, Cece, and Schmidt are together mature adults.

I mean, I disliked the Jess plot in this episode (and frankly I barely remember the guy's character so it's a little confusing) but this is a show about immature goofballs.

I don't think anyone said her immaturity is what is dragging her character down. I think she is getting more and more isolated from the rest of the cast and its making her scenes drag. Her character needs some one funny around so she can be the dorky straight man. As it is now she's just a crazy weirdo who likes polka dots and wears big stupid glasses with no lenses.

Huh, I thought they were just static characters with a bunch of stupid quirks who never had to grow up and held onto their childish-ness(?) to show other people it was OK to act young even if you were older.

That was defining a manic pixie dream girl because someone (maybe you?) said she wasn't one? What's your point? And the glasses are just annoying to me.

OK, so to recap:

-Sam and Jess engage in a mostly physical relationship.
-Jess wants more, but Sam stays emotionally distant because he is afraid of getting hurt.
-Sam finally opens up, only to find himself getting hurt like he feared when Jess and Nick kiss.
-Sam becomes violent and attacks Nick. Sam leaves.
-Time passes.
-Sam is now dating Genevieve, Jess' potential new boss. With her, Sam has been exploring his emotions and been getting in tune with a more new-age lifestyle.
-Jess interferes with their relationship and Sam's pain from their breakup resurfaces. Sam realizes he's been spiraling since and doesn't feel like he knows who he is or what he wants.
-Genevieve breaks up with Sam. Sam is mad at Nick and Jess, either again or still.
-Jess continues to harass Sam, not giving him a chance to figure his life out.
-Sam issues a restraining order against her because for gently caress's sake Jess.
-Jess ignores the restraining order and hurts herself and nearly gets both of them killed.
-They give in to passion and decide "Hey let's go back to when we were last happy and try dating again!"
-Winston, the voice of reason, says "Hey you got a restraining order for a reason. Give poo poo some time." Through this moment of clarity, Sam agrees and leaves. EVERYONE AGREES JESS IS DANGEROUS AND A RELATIONSHIP AT THIS TIME IS BAD.
-Jess says "Nah gently caress that!" and goes back after Sam and continues to exploit his vulnerability and they are going to have a relationship, admitting neither of them have grown since they last dated.

Have I done a good enough job conveying how hosed up this episode was?

For once I'll agree that Jess was the worst part of the show tonight. They're trying too hard to make her funny on her own, instead of just through her interactions with the other characters.

Winston was the best part of the episode again as usual. Drunk Cece isn't too bad either.

Schmidt is my favorite the last few episodes. That comment about loose chili had me laughing, and I loved a couple episodes ago when Nick made the comment about layers like an orange and Schmidt was completely thrown for a loop.

Jess was way too dumb, like implausibly dumb in this episode. That's loving comedy poison. The show is still great when she's not around though.

Are you posting from a week ago? Both of this week's episodes were a huge improvement from that one. Jess is finally acting like a slightly exaggerated normal person again, instead of whatever weird crazy stalker she was last week. And I thought the framed football helmet piece was actually really sweet, in a sitcom sort of way.

The funny thing is that until I saw this in the thread I could not for the life of me figure out where I knew her from. Just goes to show how bad TWD is that I completely blocked out her other acting gigs.

Hmm, I wonder if one of the writers of this show ever had an incident where a car almost hit them and they yelled at them and the car stopped and came back. Because it happened in tonight's episode and the rerun of the Prince episode.
