First effortpost, hope I did everything right
TT Exulansic recently came out with her commentary on the Season 8 finale of the show, and this part really stuck in my mind. It's paywalled, so here's all of the relevant clip:
TLDW: Jazz is continuing his love quest, this time a date with some girl named Erin. At the end of the night Erin kisses Jazz, who looks extremely uncomfortable with clenched fists and making no attempt to hug or get any closer to her.
In the confessional, Jazz is noticeably bewildered and trying not to be disappointed as he relays the experience, clearly not understanding why he didn't feel any real desire for Erin although he enjoyed her company. The poignant part comes at 2:05. When describing how he feels about Erin, Jazz hesitantly says "There's definitely some nerves, there's definitely excitement, but.............. as we're holding hands, I just..... feel like there's something special...that could develop."
Exulansic then proceeded to point out exactly what I had thought right away, which is that it very, very much sounded like what Jazz really wanted to say was "but... there's something missing." He caught himself and kept a hopeful attitude for fear of backlash. I'm sure he remembered how upset Jeanette was when he was honest about his SRS complications in an interview he gave.
All this time Jazz has been assuring himself that when he meets someone he feels an emotional connection with, romantic/sexual feelings will automatically follow. Watching the truth set in in real time really made me feel awful for him.
