New Girl Feels

This blog is 90% commentary, 10% everything else. What I'm trying to say is….I talk too much.

[mrnickmiller-deactivated2018081]

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.

[mynewgirlfeels]

I got mine pretty quick but I’ve got another bone to pick with them. Quick rant:

I received my item last week, broken. Emailed them to express my disappointment. They offered to give me a quote for the repair (uh, isn’t this why we pay for insurance?), OR get a full refund and ship them back the item. I politely told them ‘no thankyou’ to both options and asked if a partial refund was possible. I got another response that they would do something for me. Next day, got a notification from UPS that another package was coming my way. I was a little weirded out that they did that without notifying me first, but I was still content to know that they were making an effort to make it up to me. I spent the next two days looking forward to getting a bonus New Girl prop in the mail. Just got the package today....it’s a prop from Mad Men. Which I know is a show loved by many but I’ve never seen a single episode. Now I feel like I’m being a brat for wanting to complain again, but like...really? You couldn’t have checked with me first? lol

There’s a salt and pepper shaker set on display in my room. Only for you, New Girl. Only for you.

[mrnickmiller-deactivated2018081]

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.

[mynewgirlfeels]

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.

[myfictionalfavorites]

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???

[mynewgirlfeels]

I’m not gonna lie I already won my item and I’m looking at more too. But I’m gonna hold back cause those extra fees they add on scare me. lol

I won the salt and pepper shaker set that sat on the loft kitchen table. I feel beyond dumb that I paid so much for something so plain. But but but! I can see them in so many episodes! And! *points at screen* Those are mine!

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

[mynewgirlfeels]

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

[livelovecaliforniadreams]

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?

[mynewgirlfeels]

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.

[mynewgirlfeels]

I swear I can rewatch everything in these last episodes with no problem EXCEPT for that stupid, beautiful flash forward. I keep going to watch it but then the music and the dream-like way it was shot gives me that lump in my throat. At some point that scene won’t make me wanna cry but I’m not there yet. lol

Nick & Jess Get Married

[mrnickmiller-deactivated2018081]

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

[mynewgirlfeels]

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.

[cool-nick-miller]

Sorry, I was getting irrationally worked up over the TCA18 info!

Guys, I realise I’m sounding like a broken record and that this must be rather boring for you. Help me out of my despair about NG Season 7….send me happy Ness thoughts to cheer me up?

Or ask me questions that will force me to answer positively? 😂

I need help to lift my mood 😬

[youcantmakeme]

Nick and Jess will be together for over 3 years the next time we see them. Supporting each other, living a whole lot of new and exciting things. Together. They will be so in love that all that time apart won’t mean anything anymore.

Nick is a successful writer. He will finally feel good enough to be who he is! And he won’t have self loathe to prevent him to be happy with Jess.

Jess will be out there, supporting Nick and living a lot of different things. I mean.. can you imagine how many new crafts she can learn or invent while meeting all these new things and people? She will be completely happy. No more sad face Jess from s6.

And!!!! We will SEE THEIR PROPOSAL AND THEIR WEDDING. Not just 5 seconds of it in a flashback. THE WHOLE THING!

They are probably not married by then by their own choices. They wanted to do alllll those things first. Timing is everything, remember?

This is the last season and it’s been said over and over that it will be for the fans. So let’s have faith in that. 😘

[mynewgirlfeels]

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.

[mynewgirlfeels]

Spoilers

Coming out of the woodwork to share an unpopular opinion: I’m pretty OK with the nick and jess spoilers. I don’t think it’s all that out of character for nick to struggle with marriage. Doesn’t mean he ever doubted Jess was “the one” or that they didn’t plan on having kids and staying together forever. Jake Johnson shared his story about him and his wife in an interview, and they weren’t planning on marriage until after they’d been together for years and something happened to make them realize they needed to (they weren’t allowed to be together in the ER or something). There’s a lot of Jake in Nick so I guess that’s why I find that kind of believable.

Idk, I know a lot of ppl wanted the happy marriage and babies storyline but I like that it’s a little less perfect. I’m interested to see Nick and Jess as a long term couple settled in the comfortable phase. I think it’ll be a lighthearted conflict and not the unnecessary drama everyone’s fearing but we’ll see.

[mynewgirlfeels]

He talks about New Girl for almost ten minutes starting at 43:55. I know Jake's New Girl interviews have been polarizing…but this one's not bad, promise lol.

They start filming October 12th. And Jake's directing an episode next season! FUN.

[mynewgirlfeels]

Been a bit out of the loop with stuff and was catching up on some of Jake’s Digging For Fire promo. I don’t know why this was a surprise because we’ve known about this forever, but my mouth just dropped open when he said he has twins @4:32. lol Never thought we’d see the day.

[mynewgirlfeels]

Hi I just wanted to ask if season 5 is the last season. I read it somewhere on your blog. And if yes, how did you know it, from which sources? Thank you :) your blog is awesome btw :)

Nope, there’s been nothing official stating that S5 is the last. I’ve written several posts where I’ve said I THINK season 5 is probably the last, but that’s just a personal inkling. I’ll be more than happy if they find a way to keep it going beyond that! :) (and thanks for the lovely message! Haven’t gotten one of these in ages)

[lakefatherlakeson]

nice!!!

[mynewgirlfeels]

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.

[paradisezooey]

What's even the point of setting up some sexual tension between Jess and a guest star and wait until she comes back to see what happens??? I thought that was the purpose of the finale? To show some sexual tension between Jess and NICK and set things up nicely for season 5 bringing opportunities? Hey, Liz words, not mine ok? +

+I don’t understand their need to write things like this for Jess. I think they’re like “hey let’s write an awesome ep, we can put Winston doing some police stuff and the guys could buy a bar together and have nice moments….” But wait? What about the girls? “Oh just make Cece swoon over Schmidt a little and let’s bring some random dude for Jess. PERFECT.”

_________________________

I don’t understand either. But maybe Liz was joking? I don’t know if she would have the courage to waste much time with a guest star in what’s probably the last season of the show. She’s not that crazy, is she? I hope he’s there kinda like Jess’ past boyfriends were… For her to grow a bit, make some realizations, or bring her closer to Nick. Anything, really. Also, didn’t Liz said one of the eps she’s away is actually about her being away? Or is my mind making this up? Because IMO it wouldn’t make sense to write an episode with all the characters really missing her (especially Nick) so that when she returns there’s a guest star waiting to share a plot with her. Makes no sense.

And hey, it seems like you just perfectly described season 4 lol. The guys were mostly doing different things all the time while Cece was claiming she loves her ex and Jess was basically with guest stars all the time. That’s it when they weren’t fighting and punching each other, right?

[itsajapanesegarden]

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* 

[lakefatherlakeson]

Bingo

[mynewgirlfeels]

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).

fox mid season

How do you guys feel about New Girl coming back in Jan? On one hand its good because less breaks during the season but it sucks because that’s a super long hiatus.

[mynewgirlfeels]

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.
