I laugh a little when I see some people say they are "shocked" about Mordo's romantic inclination towards CJ. I've seen this coming since the New Years ep. and could argue since Survival Skills. Its all but a sure thing, Mordecai will slowly warm things up with CJ, they'll get their own little romance arc and then shit will hit the ever loving fan when Margaret comes back on break or something. Gonna be a rather intense season finale (that's right, I'm calling it).

Honestly, I'm kind of loathing how the CJ arc is going to go, sure she's got more personality than Margaret but we've seen this crap before with Margaret where Mordecai awkwardly dances around asking her out and its just going to keep building. Its nice (if not a tired troupe) the first time, you wanna cheer on that awkward little guy cause that was you or is you at some point, but its just tedious the second time.

I like CJ, I really do, she's got the personality that Margaret should've had but never got b/c she was forced to fulfill the tragic role of female love interest of the protagonist (once you become another character's goal... GL brah) CJ got a slight amount of personality before that and now has enough of this Tomboy, fun lover that they can actually GO somewhere with that. But here we go again, as the writers will surely go about writing in their awkward tip toeing of "We're JUST friends! *embarassed face*" arc. If they HAD to reintroduce the romance eps, I'd like for the Eileen/Rigby thing to get going already, hell even just a little. I know Quintel is Mordecai, but still, Rigs's character could use some more focus. I hope I don't get a major case of De Javu, but I'm just not sure how they're going to make this Mordecai's romance arc any different than the last one.
