It's a credit to the show that I'm actively curious about these things; after all, I used to think of Platonic as being almost all vibes and no plot. This time around, the core hangout-sitcom quality is still intact - we haven't moved into full dramedy territory - but the stakes have been higher and the conflicts more interesting. That serves the comedy well.
I'd been commitment-phobic most of my adult life. I had almost gotten married in my early 20s, calling off the wedding just a month before the big day. The experience of breaking up with someone I had thought I'd spend my life with was traumatic, and left me with serious commitment issues.
