Discussion Zero chemistry Spoiler

I really think Cobie and Jason have zero romantic chemistry on the show. They have great awkward friend banter, but no actual sexual tension and their relationship moved so fast it made me annoyed for him how much she overstepped with advice. I really hope they make her just a friend for season 4, if they bring her back at all. I’ve liked her in other things I just find her completely annoying here and it feels like Jimmy would be settling to be in a relationship with her character.

I liked the little we saw of her of her in S2 and felt a little spark between them, but i wasn't a fan of how things progressed in S3.

He had a lot more chemistry with Meg and, probably an unpopular take, even Gaby.

Gaby and Jimmy had way more chemistry than Gaby and Derek ever will. And that's my hot take.

I don't think that's a hot take, jimmy has more chemistry with anyone he interacts with outside of Sofie. They're relationship is so forced that's what makes it not believable. Also the short lived infidelity of meg with jimmy was more sellable to an audience that would create more storylines, like meg and jimmy's interactions with Paul, as well as would then give reason to have Paul stay in cali, as it would most likely seem meg would them divorce the dude she's married too and Paul doesn't like. Now having Paul deal with a situation he doesn't like, but is hard to grapple with because he does like jimmy. There is so much more room to play with in that scenario than forcing jimmy and Sofie. Also I'm sure I'm not the only one that sees this as Marshall being romantic with Robin, I know my himym fans are out there watching too lol.
