GIRLS talk (the Lena Dunham thread)

yeh I was wondering about Adam for S2 too

also i don't think this all seemed nearly as implausible as many others seem to! jessa is spontaneous, big surprise, and marnie (perhaps a bit less likely) gets a bit caught up in jessa's exciting spontaneity. fine!

I buy Marnie sleeping with the "dork" way more than I buy Jessa marrying guy. Marnie was drunk and that guy made her laugh. Sometimes that's all it takes. That guy was such a complete tool in the threesome ep that I find it hard to believe that Jessa has fallen in love with him somehow since then. I don't doubt that she'd marry someone she barely knew. I just have a tough time believing it of him in particular.

it's all because of her misinterpretation of that talk about growing up and making something of your life weed dad's wife gave her!

possibly also she plans to exploit his propensity for business travel to fund her nomadic lifestyle, there was some intimation of that in her vows

"the more I learned about your life of finance and travel…"

x-post - hmmmmmmmmm

Yeah, I did think about the money aspect. He was just SO unbearable the last time we saw him that it made it difficult for me to swallow.

def saw it as a move on her part to try the high life for a few years, subconsciously or otherwise

paralleled by Elijah's "he's rich as fuck!" abt his boyfriend

Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's just me. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY.

well and there were a couple of beats where you could see her make an awkward pained face so she def is either playing some kind of long game with him or is just throwing her chips up in the air to, idk spite weed dad's wife or something equally silly

So she is smoteable.

x-post - Yeah, there were. There were a couple times where she pulled faces and I thought she was going to be like, "Just kidding!".

people marrying people they don't really like for their money is a pretty honest and forthright thing to say about new york and young people in new york, actually.

It's not un-Jessa-like, it's just somewhat shoddy writing for her to go from the 'outta-here' threesome to marriage w/nothing in between.

Yes and with someone that awful. I practically had to watch him deliver his lines through my fingers in the threesome ep. For whatever reason I guess he just really rubbed me the wrong way.

he is the worst!

remember two months ago when we all thought adam was the worst?

I never really thought he was the worst at all.

But I realize a lot of people did.

heh I did, the sexual weirdness and especially stuff he said about her body in the first couple episodes made me really not like him

you can tell venture capitalist is really the worst though because of how badly he comes off in even the most banal moments; remember cringing while he like, cut the wedding cake

lol yes

Their attempts to out self-absorb each other should be funny.

also he has two first names, ew, "Thomas John"

xp i still don't really like adam...

I didn't like *any* of the guys in the show for the first 2 or 3 episodes. Now I'm like 'awww you guys <3!' lol

really liked the gawker recap again, just as a thing to read.

he was psycho & rapey & she had nothing but contempt for him & then she married him

zing!

Aye I suppose that is something - while there's no Girls there's no Girls recap. Unless John Cook actually goes off the deepend and starts portraying The Further Adventures of Lena & Friends.

he's promised no girls recaps even when the show comes back. i'd really be into that girls recaps continues without the show idea though!

it's more or less what he's doing anyway

his recaps are actually pretty factual and accurate, just very... particular.

he tries to mock them for things they're doing intentionally. hes muddying the interpretive waters, its dumb

I read some of these and I find him kind of annoying

muddying the interpretive waters! couldn't we just say he's "problematizing the text" instead, and give him a gold star?

I won't read him anymore

:)

intentionally misreading obvious signposts is idiotic imo. we're not talking abt deconstructing the text here hes just looking at something red & trying to tell us its blue

deconstruction of the text, whatever

those recaps are the worst

yeah, they're basically unreadable

otm

that guy is an idiot

not just his Girls recaps, either
