TV: Girls

I get that, but...its pretty much what the show is about. Its not that different from the last season. I dont agree with Hanna, her arc is changing a lot from the previous seasons, she dont care about Adam and Jessa, she is finally doing stuff as a writer and well see what happen with the ¨news¨.
I agree with Adam and Jessa..i hate them. But i can see how can they feel that way about making a movie, i know people like that.

Marnie: No way would someone be this emotionally empty and delusional about her place in life and still have the companionship of Ray. Their relationship feels totally false to me. And her back-and-forth with Desi feels fake too, especially given his Oxy addiction and her experience last season with her junkie ex-boyfriend.

So glad that Marnie is getting called out for her narcissism. But, given the fact she's so narcissistic, I doubt any of it will stick. She's a lost cause and probably the most hatable character on the show.

Ray though... I almost understand where he's coming from. He's desperate to be with someone, and he probably views Marnie as way out of his league, so he's going for it. I have no doubt he'll come around and be with Shosh in the end. But, and I might be very mistaken here, isn't he the oldest in the group, by a fair margin? If so, I can see him going through some sort of desperation trying to find a partner....ANY partner. Especially if he wants to settle down and possible start a family. I have a friend who's 37 who's going through this exact same thing... trying to figure out his personal life and becoming quite desperate about it, and he's been with several people in the past year that are very much Marnie-esque.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yea, I totally understand Ray's position; it feels real to me. And I agree that he'll probably come around. Watching Marnie half-heartedly fake an orgasm was such a bummer, I'd like to think his character will realize the charade.

Yeah I would think so too, I feel like he's in some weird limbo right now between being his typical asshole-self from the early seasons, and coming down from relationship high from last season

This season has been solid. I'm sorry to see this go....

and its probably facing death that will be the catalyst for him to not wasting his time with her, but it could equally make him feel more dependent on marnie and forcing her out. lets see where the writing goes on this one

[bodysnatcher]

Yeah I agree I think it will be the cliche "Someone close to me died" relaization story that pushes him back to Shosh

Why isn't Joey weighing in on this season?

He always takes his time to come to this universe.

[Monkey_Driven]

This was a better episode, the Ray and Elijah scenes in particular.

Agreed. Apart from the Adam/Jesss meta stuff, I really liked this one.

I would even say it was excellent at times. The asian restaurant scenes were the highlight of the season so far.

The Elijah/Hannah scene in the kitchen was great. Gotta go with Elijah on that one. The whole story about Hannah's mom getting lost was kinda dumb, but given my history with friends eating edibles for the first time, it rang a little true haha

[Bi_3]

So were the scenes with Adam and the baby last season priming us for his inevitable reunion with a pregnant Hannah?

[Monkey_Driven]

I enjoy the brief interviews with Dunham and the other showrunner after each episode.

[bodysnatcher]

i can't watch those simply bc her hair looks so fucking stupid
