"It would be too much to hope for to have Mindy and Danny and Nick and Jess all happy and patched up for the summer, right? Right.\nPinterestFacebookNew Girl was not about to go there, though we all held our breath for a moment last night when Nick went in for the kiss on the boat. (Side note: That was the least romantic romance package I&amp;#39;ve ever seen. There wasn&amp;#39;t even a dinner!) In fact, New Girl wasn&amp;#39;t about to pull any big moves&amp;#8212;even Schmidt&amp;#39;s big jewelry gesture got tossed, literally. And that&amp;#39;s true to their style. The show&amp;#39;s biggest moments never seem to happen at the end of the season&amp;#8212;the finale is usually about getting everyone together and reminding us that, at the end of the day, they&amp;#39;re a family. And so on.\nWe&amp;#39;ve had a bumpy ride when it came to New Girl this season&amp;#8212;you might have noticed that the show got a tough rap from me and some of you guys in our post yesterday on TV stuff that needs fixing. We complained about Nick and Jess going in circles and everyone else standing still. From the finish line, I&amp;#39;ll give the series this: The disproportionate focus on Nick and Jess was true to life. When friends and roommates get together, it&amp;#39;s an all-consuming thing. And also, let&amp;#39;s not forget we sorta led the show in this direction&amp;#8212;by, as fans, collectively losing our minds over the couple&amp;#39;s beginnings.\nPinterestFacebookThe purpose of &amp;quot;Cruise&amp;quot; was clear: to sell Zooey Deschanel&amp;#39;s Tommy Hilfiger capsule collection. No, I&amp;#39;m kidding, but did you catch that every look she wore was from the line? The real message of the finale was that the writers too are ready for a new direction. They weren&amp;#39;t about to embroil us in a new Nick and Jess twist or Schmidt and Cece drama. They literally locked our starring six in a cabin for days on end to remind us: This is what the show&amp;#39;s about. And every one of these characters is poised for a fresh start.\nEveryone has that moment in life when they sense it&amp;#39;s time to stop fooling around and start moving forward. (Let&amp;#39;s be real&amp;#8212;everyone has that moment twice a year.) I can feel New Girl ready to put that on the page&amp;#8212;and I&amp;#39;m hanging in there for it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
