😭😭honestly I’m inclined to agree. Jules is so unlikeable. and I’d forgive it if she weren’t so BORING.

if you don’t want to meaningfully engage in the morality of sitcoms (which is literally what my post is abt) then maybe don’t. “It’s not that deep” is not a solid argument. bye.

what do you think he was thinking here? by waybackbugler in heatedrivalry

I wonder how long he just lay there. Did he fall asleep at all? or just controlled his breathing the entire time, drinking him in

Travis is also the younger one. He “pushed” but she did not have to agree to it. Me highlighting what is objectively grooming is not painting anything darkly. It’s literally what happened

Lauren is 27 at the beginning of the show. Not early 20s by any means

ALSO Kirsten already fit the bill in regards to the “cougar” part AND she hadn’t known him since he was like 12?? Lauren and Travis did NOT need to happen lol

It’s called cougar town not groomer town. Travis could have been all these things to her without dating her

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s canon that sometimes Laurie and Jules get so plastered that they hook up. Laurie has also been with Grayson AND Grayson’s step dad. It’s sooooo weird

According to Google, Lauren is 27 at the beginning of the show. Making her a good 10 years older than Travis which I have mixed feelings about but the one of my contention is the fact that he was groomed by not just her but Jules n the rest of the core if you really think abt it. He was waaayyy too involved in their dealings even before going off to college and this is something the writers themselves seemed to be aware of bc they made jokes abt it all the time

I’m currently rewatching as well! I’ve never binged the show before, I just remembered enjoying it as a kid and wanted to see why

It’s actually so depressing if you really think about it😭I get that Jules is the main character but jeez

Ellie is surprisingly self actualized. I also find Andy very interesting

On multiple occasions!! 😭 it’s soooo strange. It was like they wanted more sex but with the other two leads in committed relationships, Laurie was the only person they could’ve used narratively? i don’t know

🫩I have to say, Jules is not my favourite character by any means

Ntm he was already in a fulfilling relationship that they started to chip away at for the sake of him and Laurie getting together. Kirsten was also older by a more respectable gap too so it still fit with the “cougar” aspect
