New Girl Feels

Did you guys all get emails about your auction item? I’ve heard like nothing from screenbid, not one email. Don’t know if they have my payment or if it’s been shipped or anything.

Should I have an invoice or email for my auction item by now? Has everyone else? Online it says I’ve won but I haven’t received anything.

Uh, I just got mine and they’re charging me 30 bucks for shipping and “insurance” (for two little salt and pepper shakers?). I heard about the added fees but omg. I feel like calling them.

ok so i already won 2 things from the auction but honestly i spent less than i was prepared to spend and i just want to buy more stuff but i’m probably being unreasonable but also i’m a working woman who is usually so careful with her money and new girl is my favorite show ever so would it be so bad to buy just one more thing???

Zooey was done. Renewal or no renewal I think NG was still over either way.

Yeah, this. Plus..FOX gave us 7 seasons of our show which doesn’t happen too too often. I dunno if we can really shit on the network for that

It’s only been a week & I still refuse to believe New Girl ended & I’ve watched the Ness wedding a million times. How’s everyone else doing?

Still rewatching on Netflix like we’re on a regular ol’ hiatus. Pretty sure that means I’m in denial but it feels better than depression so, so be it. Lol

Responsible and sensitive husband Nick was seriously attractive. I’m at peace with the fact that we only got a glimpse of it, but damn would I have liked to see more of him in that phase.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️also was that Erin the producer in the hallway?

It was totally unexpected but one of the most emotional parts of this scene for me was when Cece looked at Nick. That felt like a genuine “this is the end friend” look between Hannah and Jake.

Yes! I I don’t wanna start the season with them already married and we missed seeing everything. Fuck flashbacks, what new girl flashbacks are more than 3 seconds long? I wanna see the whole thing. I want the build up, I want the proposal to be long awaited so it feels earned. I like that they didn’t get engaged right away and took their time to be a couple, travel. Nick and Jess doing the Goldie and Kurt thing is totally believeable to me.

nice!!!

YESSS. Very happy about this. Jess-less New Girl is an experiment I did wanna see, but it’s definitely something that shouldn’t have gone past one or two episodes.

Here’s what I think. I think the writers are not violently opposed to N/J being together in the end, but they’re not interested in writing them in storylines together anymore, either. Remember in that S2 walkthrough, how they were coming up with ways to get Nick in one of Jess’s classes, and the whole To Kill A Mockingbird thing? Even when N/J had separate storylines in S2, they would find ways to put them in a scene together. This is when they were really into exploring the N/J dynamic, it was new and it inspired them. Now, N/J is old hat. They’ve already done the build up, the relationship and the breakup. Writers like doing new things, and the thing that gets their juices going these days is guest stars and love interests. It is what it is. *shrug* 

Bingo

From Liz’s interviews, she sounded like she actually does miss writing the slow burn stuff. She also did say that they aren’t jumping back into N/J immediately, partly because she didn’t wanna put Zooey in any major arcs before her maternity leave. It doesn’t sound like John Cho’s character is meant to be a big love interest and I don’t think there’s much harm in a little sexual tension, but I guess there’s always a chance they’ll do the Ryan thing and ‘see where it goes organically’ lol. This time around though, it feels like there’s a better chance these guest "love interests” will actually tie into the bigger picture for Nick and Jess. The big difference between S4 and S5 is that now Liz is actually saying that she wants to revisit the “underlying relationship stuff” and in S4 she made it very clear that they were backing away from that and just having fun (we just held out false hope that they were either hiding something or would change their mind lol).

Love the idea of no breaks, and I think the writers getting more time to plot things out could be a good thing. But yeah, it’s still a bummer. I think my biggest disappointment is that this means no holiday episodes.
