Worst episode of the entire series this week fam

 

[tru_m.a.c]

another episode where marnie tries to sing

seriously…

Worst episode of the entire series this week fam

its a set up episode…you gotta see it for what its worth

I might be fukked up, but seeing Hannah's editor at that party and then finding out he died in this episode has my mind thinking about the MOST outlandish shyt….I'm like, he could've gone on a coke binge and got killed by his gay lover

I also see this episode as the beginning to the end of this string of tranquility in Hannah's life. Her response to his death is much deeper than that "I was shocked" bullshyt she was spilling at the end.

at Jessa finding out her friend lied about her death so that she could escape the black hole which is Jessa's friendship

when you think about it, who seems the most dense right now? Jessa. Marnie. Hannah? Every time you try to give one of them the benefit of the doubt, they relapse back on their self conceited/self centered downer shyt

Again this was a very realistic episode, Adam sister telling that story and seeing the way she knew that Hannah would react was again perfect , she knows that she is full of herself and that is why Adam likes her so much. Adam with the line about Jessa doing nothing was spot on. Ray knew he messed up by making fun of Marnie and she did the right thing by saying working there sucks because let's face it, that's the best job for Ray not her, he is happy getting lapped by everyone in his circle. You have to live in NYC and know that this show is right on with its characters , yes you hate them because this is how 90% of them are in real life . When they decide to stop messing around and use their connects they get ahead .

How fukked up of a person do you have be for someone to fake their death so they don't have to be your friend anymore

 

[Jx2]

Hannah and Jessa went from two girls I had a strong dislike towards to me downright loathing their characters

seems this show has stopped being a show and is now more of an exercise in writing good dialogue..

its going absolutely nowhere, but I'm okay with that. these convos are shoehorned in though, and sound like random blog posts someone in 2014 would post here and there as thoughts came into their head. thoughts on death and emotion? well let's make up some kind of plot point where i can get this to work.

introduction of a new character when things are getting stale, and make her some kind of crazy person. she even looks like stereotypical crazy person. i bet she's typecast. easy way to get new material, meh.

it seems everyone isn't together anymore... put in a random shosh and jessa scene that served no purpose except to get them some screen time together. everyone is going through their whole thing sure, but will they be able to navigate this in a way that hasn't been done before on the show? i liked it better when they interacted more with each other instead of showing everyone separately.

not that i'm complaining about any of this, just observations oh where the show can go.. and that is likely nowhere

"your brownstone, your baby, and your cool looking boyfriend" left me - it did seem like some hipster apple ad.

"Hannah, why don't you place just one crumb of basic human compassion on this fat-free muffin of sociopathic detachment? See how it tastes." - classic ray

Hannah diabolical. For her to use the same made up story to adam is pretty disgusting.

disagree with the Ray thing, because he now owns a coffeeshop, thats not getting lapped.. if anything he's most successful of all them 2nd to the breh who left the show.

no doubt about the last part, when these people decide to stop fukking around there's ALWAYS a safety cushion for them, and I think this wasn't even some 'brilliant masterstroke' by the writers, its just the truth..

just like the guy who died 'which one of you trust fund people knows where hannah is'.. its a whole undercurrent to this hipster/gentrification thing and why everything is a bit nasty, its classist at the base of it. but thats just me going in another direction.

like that apple ad cool black guy who was season's husband.. that shyt had me wondering.. what the fukk does that guy even do that they can have that brownstone and dude looks like a damn stereotype. i'd really like to meet people like that, if someone like him even exists. i'm completely inexperienced with these types of people but part of me wishes i'd be in that scene because a bunch of working class immigrants that hold jobs while going to school is fukking boring.

Ray owns nothing, the guy with the glasses owns the spot. Ray is his manager.

but he's dying and Ray will take over as the boss.

he was close to quitting then his boss wanted him to stay on and he did. thats a come up i guess

Read some one on twitter make the point that Dunham wasn't a good feminist and I tend to agree. If a dude made this show how fast would feminists jump all over it? Every chick on his show is ditzy and self centered and it seems like the guys are the constant voices of reason.
I wonder if it's just one of those, "I'm one of them so I can make fun of them" type of situations. Like if a black person made a series about nikkas in the ghetto, the series would be more accepted than if a white person tried it.

but he's dying and Ray will take over as the boss.

This strangly enough Ray is one of the most grounded people on the show, my mother is 58, she was a writer for a small magazine for the past decade on some midlevel shyt, the owner is 75 and a millionaire and just wants to retire in peace guess who gets the magazine.

And also Adam is a one eyed man in the land of the blind. Hannah is a selfish bytch, she has lost the ability to contact and empathize at a deep level. She only sees the misery of others in relation to herself and Adam is trying to get her to see that to little avail.

Listen this is pretty realistic show and last night show had levels to it. The Hannah story about her not caring about her boss dying and Ray saying how she can be so uncaring is going to reverse when his boss dies and leaves Ray with nada. His bods owns 2 shops and he just going to make Ray the owner for nothing , Ray not his family . Ray going to have the capital to run those spots or the brains? Nope, he is being set up for a loss because he cares and is a "good guy" who you know in real life loses, he already lost his girl and said that everyone looked down on him, well that's what he doing now.

I gotta agree with yoyo though. The show isn't really going anywhere. Though Girls hasn't ever really been too concerned with plot or any of that, it's mostly about character development.

It's just that I want to keep watching to see what will happen with the characters and how they develop. Plotless episodes don't really bother me.

And people saying that Hannah was deplorable this episode, that's fair but I could sorta relate to that shyt. Thank god I've never had anyone in my immediate family die but you sometimes hear of a death of someone distant and you act basically, you say that you're sorry to hear that, show concern, and I think most people do that to an extent, and it's just basic social awareness. Hannah just doesn't really have that, but I get it. And it sounds terrible to say that, but, fukk, people ain't shyt basically

And Ray will take over the coffee shops.
