Troy/Britta: Y/N? Talk to me flist, I am undecided. Although I think I would be less undecided if they haven't been dumbing Britta down this season. Dan Harmon, sometimes you're the AT&T of people.

Annie/Abed-pretending-to-be-someone-else: Delightful yet unsatisfying? Discuss.

I would totally be on board with Troy/Britta if they gave them more substantial interactions (and just gave Britta more to do in general).

Oh, god, Britta needs SO MUCH MORE to do on that show.

Troy/Britta: YES, BRING IT. 100% on board with this ship, they would be super-cute together.

Abed/Annie: Delightful yet unsatisfying sums it up pretty good. Can't really take them seriously as a ship, but they're cute when they play-act.

I can't seem to get into Troy/Britta. He's just so... young. And she's not a paragon of maturity, but I just don't see her being attracted to him for some reason.

Annie/Abed-pretending-to-be-someone-else is definitely delightful. I think it would work best in a threesome sort of set-up with Troy, with a lot of roleplaying fun but also a lot of domesticity? And Troy would meet Annie's outward emotional needs and Annie would meet his snuggling needs and Abed would love them both in his own way. But I get the unsatisfying part, and for me that mostly comes from Abed being... well, Abed. I'm never quite sure how to read them or how to picture him in a romantic relationship. I don't doubt that he cares about Troy and Annie, but his coldness makes everything feel very one-sided. So I don't know. Mixed feelings.

That could very well work.

I like the Annie/Abed scenes we get now and then, it's ridiculously adorable. But IDK how Abed would fare in a romantic relationship- he's cute as a friend or a crush, but I feel like a significant other would feel...some emotional lack, because he's either this emotionless robot or assuming another identity in order to connect with people. It's sad, I want to ship him with people, but it just feels like they'd get upset and frustrated in the end.

I don't ship Britta with anyone, but I think she's better off with Troy than Jeff. Those two just irritate the hell out of me when they're together, tbh.

...and then he wouldn't understand why they were upset... yeah. Although I felt like he and secret agent girl could have made it work. But I think it's best if he and Annie just have one or two moments a season and it's left at that.

There have been a couple moments when I really enjoyed Jeff and Britta. Usually when the show wasn't trying so hard to stress how perfect they were for each other slash deconstruct the will they/won't they relationship.

I am very much into the idea of Troy/Britta, although I'd need to see a little more focus on them on the show before I could really start shipping it. And ugh, yes, the dumbing down of Britta this season has been really annoying.

Annie/Abed-pretending-to-be-someone-else is cute, but I don't care that much for them? I like the little stuff we've gotten, but I wouldn't want it to ever be any more serious than that.
