Popping an adderall and studying all night doesn't make for great tv. There's just not much to do with this character, other than showing off his intelligence in class every once in a while. Even in the first season of Big Bang Theory, which I actually enjoy as opposed to the rest of the series, Leonard's big arc is what? He gets a hot girlfriend. what's left? They gave him a girlfriend, crossed that one off the list real quick. Once you've seen what this archetype can do. we start to realize why Minkus only had one season. Is he Donnie Barnes or is he borderline autistic? After that. He has no interesting story until Meets I Am Farkle, but then that's almost backpedaling. But that's not what we want to see on television. In real life, a haircut, cool clothes, and a deeper voice would completely change Farkle's life, he would fit in and be loved. But you guys are my best friends, so deal with it." That's vintage Meets World right there, the change, being uncertain of yourself while being certain of your friends.Īnd that sounds great on paper. And I don't know what's going to happen next. Farkle isn't going to define himself by what his friends want. But instead, they surprised us, and I loved it. Like what happened with Cory most of the time. I think we all expected the standard resolution here, where his best friends tell him he's great the way he is and everything goes back to normal. Then in Meets Yearbook, Farkle realizes he's a caricature and resolves to change. So great, Farkle is a fully fleshed out character, despite being hugely annoying. And in Girl Meets Flaws, we move one dimension deeper as we explore his vulnerability and hidden insecurity. The other main three were fairly limited and almost entirely predictable in the first season, while Farkle was capable of bringing different attitudes and energies to different situations. On the other hand, at least he had traits to crank up. His entire character is cranked up to 11 in the first season, making him a difficult pill to swallow. Instead of controlled moments of genuine charm, like his father toward Topanga, he comes on way too strong, all the time.
Instead of having that social dark streak in wanting to control his peers, like his mother, he wants to control the entire world. Instead of being that one kid in class who answers everything, like his father, he had to have "Farkle Time" dedicated to his exhibitionism. Unfortunately, in the first season at least, he never showed quite the same finesse with those traits as his parents. At the end of the episode, we found out that Farkle didn't have Asperger's, but another classmate did.Signature Episodes: (Girl Meets ) Flaws, Yearbook, I Am Farkle, Money, the Great Lady of New Yorkįarkle is, without a doubt, his parents' son. Many people think this was the show's way of saying that autism is a bad thing. When Farkle told his friends that he might have ASD, they kept shutting him down and told him he couldn't possibly have it. One of the scenes involved Farkle getting evaluated for Asperger's syndrome, which is a condition on the autism spectrum. People on Twitter are pointing out how several scenes involving Farkle can be viewed as problematic.Ĭlick inside to find out what they are saying.

The former Disney Channel series Girl Meets World is facing backlash on Twitter right now, over four years after it went off the air.
