Annie represents everything Jeff wants, but because of his personal demons and inability to … I am making a case for later season Jeff/Annie. I almost wished Abed wasn't there with them for the last goodbye, just so they could do some mushy 'I love you' thing and maybe they could have had a future "preview" of Jeff visiting Annie in DC or vice versa. I listened to few episode commentaries, lots of comments on posts etcetra. It was addressed in his flashback that he has no idea what she wants, and was made clear throughout the finale that being with Jeff is not the best thing for Annie. This show is/was so unique.

Annie represents everything Jeff wants, but because of his personal demons and inability to overcome them, he doesn't believe he deserves her. But now he thinks he'll hold her back. I, for one, love how this show was able to find an insanely good dynamic within the group without having to fall back on relationships (season 4 troy/britta excluded). Throughout the series, Jeff (Joel McHale), Annie (Alison Brie), and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) were in a somewhat love triangle. Jeff falls in love with Annie because of who she is, not because she had to guide, convince or teach him. He gives a 'hmph'. Even in S5, with the whole computer emotions thing, Jeff looked at Annie and it worked. The situations however, never allowed them to try anything.And that is what it makes it so real and cruel at the same time, especially because they both work. fan Art of Jeff and Annie ♥ for fan of Jeff Winger 29143936 Jeff can't maintain his lie to himself anymore. She dates Vaughn in season 1. It basically boils down to the fact that Dan isn't really comfortable in writing romance. "But somehow it works."

It's sad that Annie's "Winger speech" was so ironic in the way that they both want each other, but they don't realize that the other feels the same way and can't tell. ***Community spoilers for all seasons (1-6)*** I recently binged and watched this show for the first time. Jeff is a selfish bloke with a real easy attitude for his life and no seriousness (apart for his body). I totally loved your view that they might not end up together. I think there could be a separate post that can explain why they would never work. I just think that given the trajectory of the show, a union between the two in the finale doesn't make sense. Which relationship doesn't have it's fair share of worms; especially if it is as complex and complicated as this one? That's wrong. For Annie and Jeff, this both is unfortunate because with addressing a relationship, there's automatically the potential for it to fail. Of course, as I was watching the finale I thought it might happen. Jeff seemed like the tuff nut of the group and Annie seemed to admire that and love that about him. I think the Jeff/Annie relationship ultimately can be described as a bright and promising young woman being borderline obsessed with an older man that strings her along for years at a time. I'm a girly girl. That said, I think when you look beneath the surface you're gonna find a whole lotta worms.

When she lets everyone know she's leaving, this is where his world shatters and he finally lets her know, because he has to. We all know Jeff struggles with aging, feeling like time is passing him by without leaving an impact on the world around him, and I think he sees Annie as a young person destined to do great things and wants to be with her despite the fact that he would likely grow to resent her youth and her success as we also know that Jeff is a jealous person (as seen by his relationship with Rich and when he spends hundreds of dollars just to get a chance to know Britta's ex-boyfriend, Blade, better). It is beyond me why he didn't tell her or even stay looking at her just enough for her to get the jist. That is expected. The start of season 2 when Annie acts like a, "love struck teenie bopper," just goes to prove she's not emotionally capable of handling a relationship with a person as damaged and complex as Jeff, but those qualities are exactly what she finds attractive about him. We all know Jeff struggles with aging, feeling like time is passing him by without leaving an impact on the world around him, and I think he sees Annie as a young person destined to do great things and wants to be with her despite the fact that he would likely grow to resent her youth and her success as we also know that Jeff is a jealous person (as seen by his relationship with Rich and when he spends hundreds of dollars just to get a chance to know Britta's ex-boyfriend, Blade, better). Also we could see how Jeff has finally emotionally evolved himself. Being the self aware show that it is, Abed addresses the issue in season 2 episode 1 when he declares he wants to move away from the soapy relationship stuff and more towards bigger and self-contained escapades. Jeff basically told her that he lover her, but not in a way that seems gimmicky. For a show, this ending doesn't make sense. Annie was at first suspicious of Jeff's motivations but was eventually won over by his charm. That's why he proposes to her, because it allows him to hang on to the past without having to look at the future. Earlier it was creepy but now it ain't. Sarah is a 27-year-old daughter of Jeff and Annie coming back from the future where the prime timeline was disturbed by the Evil Study Group. The pairing never needed to overtake the show, but I believe they missed an opportunity for a few interesting storylines with them. Older, experienced man with a bunch of baggage and virginal young go-getter who sees his potential -- it's literally the formula that most romance novels are based on. together.". Any Community fans who have been awaiting a full-fledged romance between Jeff and Annie may finally get their wish come Season 3. We see that in their individual moments of selflessness, they both created something pure in between them, way too big to be simply dismissed as mere "attraction". He has so much work to do on himself if he wanted to be good enough for her. Frankly even though I hate it, it's the possibility that seems much realistic given their situation. Annie is comfortable with what they have, because moving forward means that there is a potential to lose everything they have built up - all the walls and subtext included. Both think they have all the answers, both struggle with being simultaneously narcissistic and self-loathing, and both attempt to push away the people that love them. Frankly, I just don't think Jeff is good enough for Annie. They acknowledged a lot and while sure, they didn't say 100% they would be together in the future, still a big and romantic step that makes me cry. Show rarely (almost never) featured any storyline of any character individually. Guy has real commitment and intimacy issues but we can't blame him for this entirely given his tough childhood. Jeff, who still has loads of baggage to address, including the jealousy and fear of aging that you've touched on, would eventually grow bored, or start looking around for someone younger. Having them partner up on capers and stuff in an " official " capacity could have had the potential for comedy gold. If you can have something as real as they have, age is just a superficial factor to tell as an excuse that you let them go. The thing I like least about this relationship is that I see it as a way for Dan Harmon to explore a sort of taboo relationship between a jaded, self-absorbed adult and an innocent school girl. Who knows? And as for Abed being absent from the airport scene, I don't think Dan wanted the show to become only about Jeff and Annie, and I agree with that. That actually would be … And amazingly now it is up-to Jeff- Which way he wants their story to end up at? Annie is the future, the future he wants both figuratively and literally. Inspired designs on t-shirts, posters, stickers, home decor, and more by independent artists and designers from around the world. I think all your points are good and if you look at their relationship through the lens you do, it's certainly an endearing tale of two people growing with each others help. He's chasing his youth, and eventually Annie will age, or she won't be able to totally fulfill whatever hole Jeff is looking to fill.

These characters are exactly opposite of each other when they first meet. The intended pairing at the start was Jeff-Britta so I would actually credit Harmon for coming this far with Jeff and Annie, I mean we got an acknowledgement from his side that Jeff genuinely loves Annie and we've got hints in the show that Annie loves him too, I don't think many showrunners would have deviated from an intended pairing and gone in another direction. Britta and Annie are like two different side of spectrum for Jeff. She's not a kid anymore. Jeff Winger had the most idealistic dream of everyone staying at Greendale as faculty colleagues. Fan Art of Jeff and Annie ♥ for Fans of Jeff Winger 29143936 I became obsessed with the show especially due to the amazingly realistic characters and depiction of relationship these two shared. We literally see her popping up in his heart but, Jeff being Jeff, denies it. Annie balances things out for him. Therefore, even after all that, when they still somehow in the end admit their feelings; I think it is romantic. When Jeff initially started the study group, or rather lied about having a study group, it was to get Britta to spend time with him because, well, he wanted to get in … He knows she's destined for so much better and bigger in her life and will probably never come back. Britta was always a means to cling to his past, something familiar that his consciousness/moral compass justified. By this time, he has channeled all his attraction towards her, in treating her like a child; so that he can keep her and his feelings for her at arm's length; to deny the fact that she is becoming more than a dear friend to him.
