And as for Jess, she immediately morphs from tragic but likable love interest to gross, off-putting slob. It's like a switch is flipped and Brian goes right back to being the self-absorbed jerk he's generally written as. That would be a perfectly good plot catalyst if the writers didn't pull a complete 180 with the characterization of both Brian and Jess. No sooner are Brian and Jess married than they learn that Jess is no longer dying and Brian is faced with the prospect of spending a lifetime with a woman whom he barely knows.
Sadly, if not unexpectedly, all of that pretty much goes out the window midway through the premiere. She helps establish Jess as a likable new addition to the mix and someone who's more than just a throwaway love interest. It helps that Wilson brings so much warmth and charm to her role in those early scenes. Whatever else might have motivated Brian to marry Jess, at least that relationship feels more genuine than most of his past romances. The first half of the premiere is all about building that relationship and establishing a mutual attraction between Brian and Jess (Happy Endings' Casey Wilson). But to their credit, the writers start off this new romance on the right footing.
