osprey_archerI finished a difficult writing task today and I wanted to reward myself, so I turned on Netflix in the vague hope that I had queued up something good recently.
Instead -
"A new season of New Girl!" I shrieked joyfully.
So I watched the first episode of season seven, and now I feel like maybe I got monkey's pawed. The season picks up three years after season six left off, so the episode spends most of its time establishing everyone's new normal, which means that we have very little time to just hang out with the characters watching them do their own weird things which is really what I watch New Girl for anyway.
There are also a number of scenes that I'm pretty sure exist just so they could use them in some kind of season seven trailer, because they seem to promise Shocking Twists which immediately turn out to be no such things, and this blatant manipulation annoys me. Fold the manipulation artfully into the episode, people!
Of course, now that this new normal has been established and the needs of the teaser trailer have presumably been filled, maybe the show will settle down into regular New Girl shenanigan times.
...And if I don't like season seven, I could always just pretend that the show ended with the season six finale. That was a pretty good note to go out on.
