Well, that was retarded.

First Jess & Robby are related. Which they could've discover sooner, since Robby dated CC a couple of years ago... And now, Nick loves the thing that makes candy bars Jess loves so much, a whole. Like he's the missing piece of her candy bar. And on top of everything else, Reagan wasn't there, during the whole episode! Can't the writers be more obvious? I hate lazy writing, and the idea of Jess & Nick being endgame. THEY JUST DON'T WORK! Their relationship was such a disaster, both preferred forgetting the whole thing. Instead of understanding what went wrong. So why the fck do the writers go there, AGAIN?! Not a question, in case some freak would like to answer it.

I agree about both. I wondered why they didn't figure that out when Cece and Robbie dates way back in the second season.

Also, I'm one of the few people who was never a fan of Nick and Jess. They were way too different and if not for close proximity they would not have dated. I've been rewatching the series and Jess was trying to change Nick the whole time and Nick wasn't very happy with Jess and Jess wasn't happy with Nick.

Even after their breakup, the show only seemed to show Jess was extra sad about the breakup and was always more upset that Nick wasn't still thinking about her or angry when she put out their "sex mug" and Nick didn't seem to think of her sexually anymore. It just seems like Nick moved on quicker and was happier after their relationship and even though he's still immature most of the times; it still seems that's he's now trying harder in his life and that he is actually happier and more stable. He appears to be back to pre Jess Nick and actually moving towards behaving more like a grown up.

Just my two cents.

True. Glad someone else is seeing things my way. Nick do look like he moved on entirely from his relationship with Jess. If only Jess did...

Agreed!!! Why do they have to put Jess and Nick together again? I was so hoping that the show had finally moved beyond that relationship because in real life people move on too. I was so happy about Jess and Robbie :( :( :(

Why do they have to put Jess and Nick together again?

Some people just cannot watch a show, any show, even the news, and not have the cast get together. By the 3rd episode of any show there is a demographic shipping cast together.

I don't know how big the demographic is, but it must be huge since writers go there as fast as they can, and often. Maybe they are chasing that golden Ross/Rachael thing [and was that really all that great?]

I hate it. But every show does it to the point now I'm surprised when they don't.

Maybe it's just writers being the type of folks that long for someone close to them they cannot have, and this is a release...

LMAO, great last point ; )

Maybe implausible is the word you're looking for? Because I don't think the word you used is the one you wanted to use... pretty outdated and offensive.

[–] Dollhouse_89 8 years ago

Nah. OP's right. The show went full tard with that plotline.

With the whole Jess and Robbie being related thing. Yes, I thought it was a weird thing to throw in the show, but them not knowing for a long time is not that weird. They were like what, third cousins? I went to school with a girl, and after like 6 years we found out that my mother and her grandfather were cousins (I don't know what to call that in english - second cousins once removed, maybe?)
Anyway, we didn't know that for a long time, and we only found out by coincidence. So, Jess and Robbie not finding out sooner was very plausible for me - because, she wasn't very close with Robbie when he was dating CeCe, and therefore she didn't talk about her family with him.

[–] marco-47826 8 years ago

You can still assume they had time to talk, and realize this. When CC was dating Robbie. It's not like they show us every little detail of the lives of these characters. And the third cousin excuse. Really? Why not picking a plausible reason? And the way they talked about it, in last week's epi. As if they were brothers and sisters, or something. So much that it completely wipes the fact that Jess was ready to move on, after her wanting to get back together with Nick, out. This was a piss poor bingo excuse. Lazy writing at its finest. Now they need to find another dumbass excuse, to ruin Nick and Reagan's story, and the forced endgaming can start.

[–] Cokoki 8 years ago

Like I said, I spent 6 years with this girl, talking to her everyday, hanging out with her, not knowing we were related. So it it possible.

I'm not saying it wasn't a weird thing to throw in the show - but still plausible.
