She's completely awful and my distaste for her is the main thing keeping me from watching the show

Once again, loved the Elijah/Hannah scenes. The opening scene was excellent as well.

It helps the actor is really damn good. He and Adam Driver steal every scene.

If Hanna's pregnancy compels her to get back with Adam, then fuck this show.
But I may have been misreading her as she watched the film on her laptop.
i love the whole ep specially the marnie bits..and the conversation with jessa.
Spoiler: show
you think so? it would be so wrong to get those two back together.

Wait, so are you agreeing with me that it would be bad for them to reconcile? Or disagreeing? I am confused.
I agree with you.

Im not sure that were the show is going though.

It looks like they're going with the Hanna/Adam reconciliation.

I didn't mind the stuff with Hanna. The Elijah scenes were great.

Good episode. We haven't seen much of Adam this season but it looks like he plays a major role in the last few episodes. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

This season's been great. I'm fine if Hannah and Adam reconcile, doesn't mean they live happily ever after.
