fwiw, i didn't think she was gonna touch herself; I thought she was just gonna expose herself so he could watch."these are all hundreds!"

I am only up to episode 3, but I am reallly missing what people are seeing as almost-likeable about shirtless dude.

he's equally adrift and clueless and occasionally compassionate in a totally confounding way"a guy like that will try anything. even love"
― (Name Withheld to Avoid Hassle) (forksclovetofu), Monday, 14 May 2012 13:39 (eleven years ago) link
I haven't seen compassionate as much as "Oh yeah I've heard about this, this path leads towards no sex - well, better do something". He really seems the incarnation of the lowest possible amount of effort necessary for a guy to be in a big city relationship in 2012.
Tho it's possible that he gets better - certainly I'm hoping that demanding an apology after straight-up lying about getting a STD test is his low point*.
*or that if there's anything worse, it dents his charm.

really wasnt into this ep
hannah trying to sex boss & jerk off scene feel like storylines so far from any semblance of reality or how ppl behave irl that they could only be constructed on a sitcom

Since she only directed the first few episodes and only wrote the first...six?...it'll be interesting to see how this evolves.

Saw a teaser for season 2 where they go as a group to Abu Dhabi but can't afford to do or buy anything there until they get hooked up with a Prince whose parents pay for everything, including a palace, but who is sad because he'd trade it all to live in Brooklyn, based exclusively on what he's seen on TV, teaching the girls a valuable lesson that they should appreciate what they have going for them. It's sort of meta.

her response bugged me a little. seemed overamped for comedy's sake, but not in a successfully funny way. would have preferred that she just be mortified.

I'm trying to figure out if I really like Jessa or not. ie Britisher.
I kind of like the way she goes about things. Except for showing up late to everything bcz that makes me IA. Feel like it's going to be awkward city once she starts fucking Weed-Dad.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 May 2012 21:38 (eleven years ago) link
I have the biggest crush on her, her hippyish ways notwithstanding. I kind of think that Weed-Dad's wife is cottoning on to her husband's attraction.
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Monday, 14 May 2012 21:40 (eleven years ago) link
she's the only one of the central four that i really dislike so far. then again, she's the only one outside hannah who's at all interesting.

oh yeah the look on Mom's face even before she says anything: 100% clear she knows what's going on w/ Weed Dad
O_O that Jessa used her lipstick. That's one of those things where I'm like 'that's kind of badass'/'wtf you are the worst person alive' ... I just can't come down on one side or the other. I like that she does what she wants but I cannot conceive of this as a practical lifestyle in any way shape or form, lol
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 May 2012 21:48 (eleven years ago) link
I think that's the comedy of her character though. She's just walking around like some 3rd Rock From The Sun alien and everyone just totally buys it
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 May 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
I like Jessa provided she doesn't turn out be actually made of evil. Shoshanna started out as a cipher but I'm starting to like her more over the last couple of eps. 'No, totally not an attached bleeder' was k classic.
Suspect they will keep sincere carpenter bf in the show even if they stay broken up, what with how much character he's acquired recently.
Dreading what might happen when we exhaust the auteur scripts, hope show does not go to hell.
― Hierophantiasis (Jon Lewis), Monday, 14 May 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
she's the only one outside hannah who's at all interesting.
Again with the 'Jemima went to school w/Lena' angle - the writing (though admittedly not based on her irl) may just contain more versimilitude or be written to her abilities.
'wtf you are the worst person alive'
It's kind of emblematic of a pretty blithe girl used to getting what she wants. Didin't the wife basically say, 'don't worry I get those sent to me in the mail', i.e., 'keep it, I don't know where your lips have been'?
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Monday, 14 May 2012 21:50 (eleven years ago) link
i assume that she brags about how long it's been since she last washed her hair, and that's it's "healthier that way"

oh yeah, forgot about that! shoshanna's dialogue during that scene was 100% great.

Carpenter Charlie suddenly turned into a great character with that whole diary thing.
I feel like the Diary Song was my turning point in liking the show...it was a good way to give a group of characters something to DO finally
and otm re shoshanna, I loved that whole exchange with the boy from camp, all of it felt very real and sweet and funny and she was way less annoying to me after that
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 May 2012 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
i dunno man; her bit about hatefucking her ex to make a point about how weak and meaningless his love for his fiancee is was NAGL. The "i am unsmoteable" schtick was a major nail in the coffin of my finding her hawt

supersubjective reactions to each GIRL:
hannah: exasperation and occasionally the same kind of really unpleasant identification i had with mark in peep show (i had to stop watching peep show for this reason)
shoshanna: pity (i mean there's not a lot to hold on to in this characterization so far but i haven't seen the last episode)
jessa: amused attraction
marnie: total hatred, not partic proud of it but there it is

^ oh yeah, she seems to be a bad person, no question there. but we might like her anyway, right? abfab style. even if we don't find her that word you used.
i wasn't totally against her there, fwiw. why was he revisiting her, and did he really expect it was gonna make her feel any better? he seemed like a callow dick. to the hatefuckery with him.
― The term or title antichrist, in Christian theology, refers to (contenderizer), Monday, 14 May 2012 22:00 (eleven years ago) link

Also, ex bf's style was intolerable so eff him.
― Hierophantiasis (Jon Lewis), Monday, 14 May 2012 22:05 (eleven years ago) link
I kinda liked it (esp on the windowsill through the fire escape, that was a nice touch). and that guy's motivations were pretty douchey so no love lost there, really.
porkpie hat/pencil mustache - you must leave now. and was he wearing longjohns at the end there? shudder.
I just find her 'principles' very interesting and I kind of enjoy her because she's just so different to the other girls. I like that she just acts on her urges and isn't caught up with the social explanations for things...but I wonder if she knows how to be anything but fuckable, because of that.
meh I'm just making shit up now
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 May 2012 22:06 (eleven years ago) link
she's funny to me because she reminds me of spectacularly bad relationships i've been in with sexy, "free spirited" women prone to wrapped skirts
― The term or title antichrist, in Christian theology, refers to (contenderizer), Monday, 14 May 2012 22:10 (eleven years ago) link

he was douchey in an interesting way

Marnie just leaves me cold. I can see why she might be thought attractive but I just don't see a lot of there there and what I do seems insipid. Shoshanna is funny but that kind of desperation makes me squirm. Hannah is exasperating but if you can avoid getting her hackles up, she seems like she'd be fun to hang with. They all would make me rather exhausted to have to deal with for any great length of time.

Marnie is probably my least favorite; she's just so, I dunno, emotionally dishonest with herself? And with her boyfriend. Her whole relationship with him was horrid.
