GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

I couldn't watch the writing workshop all the way through.

as many problems as i have with this show, there's a compilation of those and related scenes that should be shown to every young person interested in creative writing on every campus in america

ha, yes

yes x1000 - I had a concentration in creative writing as an undergrad and fear of shit like that is one of the reasons I decided not to continue that path into grad school. That scene was so horribly awkward. Also Elijah is the best and I think I hate everyone who is not him too. Why am I still watching this?!

god I haaaated Elijah when he was introduced but he has really grown on me.

Like HPV.

he's a stereotype/caricature - at the same time I totally had friends p much exactly like him at that age

I def feel like there are scenarios w/ certain friends and at certain events where I am an Elijah and it kind of horrifies me.

rly hope someone who's met me will rush in and vehemently deny this

i have a disproportionate number of friends who went to the Iowa Writer's Workshop, so i look forward to seeing this & hearing how they got it wrong.

from a friend on facebook: "The one thing they got right: Lena Dunham is definitely the type of person who would corner you in a booth at the Foxhead after workshop and demand to know why you hated her story so much."

I can't speak to it's realism, but this was def the most enjoyable episode in a long, long time

I liked the bat.

another almost entirely laugh-free episode (until her exit from the convo at the end, that was lol)

sounds like I have two hours of unenjoyable television to get pressured into catching up on while I'm snowed in

a week behind but Elijah showing up in Iowa A++ and they should go to an undergrad party at least once a week

maybe we can check in with Ray in NY occasionally. Marnie and Jessa can turn up for the finale and say hi

anyone know what that song was on the closing credits

elijah said something else hilarious this episode, i forget what it was

whereever you are there you go

where can you sign up for medicinal ecstasy?

psych studies

had no idea that was a thing until this episode. what an eye opening show

I'm just speculating, I doubt it's "a thing"

ohhhhh my god that was excruciating

😉💩

wherever you are
there you go

lol

i agree with the consensus here that elijah is crushing it this season

loled so hard at "turning the camera...around"

this thread needs more old man ray

he's the best

i feel bad for hating him so much at the beginning

^^^^^ that's it!

Ray is good but honestly that episode was terrible and Elijah is a ray of sunshine and I need him in my life so I'm glad he's being featured so heavily. Jess is just so fucking unlikable.

well the good news is that this coming episode is another solo Bruce Eric Kaplan episode. he's done 2 on his own before; Video Games (the amazing one where they go to Jessa's Dad's place) in Season 2 and Flo (the one with Hannah's Grandmother in the hospital, pretty much the best episode of the show IMO) in Season 3. so .. yay i say.

Jess is p objectively horrible as a human being

occasionally the show tries to depict her as less horrible by giving her flashes of being brutally honest w people but it's all pretty gross on the whole

re Jessa - yeah I just can't. I know they try to do this but just everything about her bothers me so much. She's just . . . completely obnoxious.

i like how hateable she is. as far as the commitment of the actress etc

was this posted already?

Isn't that from back when the show first came out?

probably? i don't know. we were making some jokes at the office and this was sent in one of the emails

sorry, i'm slow with girls-related stuff

Retrospect lol at the GoT reference: Dunham herself probably has been nude more often on Girls than anyone on that.

haha I am an idiot who did not realise Zosia Mamet was David Mamet's daughter.

has Elijah evolved since s2, when he was the Most Annoying Fairy on Earth?

(awaiting s3 from library next week)

No

Comic relief doesnt evolve

that picture was from when the show was premiering, was dumb then and is dumb now
