You know what's even more boring than Girls? Togetherness, which I was looking forward to because Mark Duplass is awesome on The League.

I need to try Looking just to see if HBO has hit a trifecta of "why would anyone watch these whiny people not be funny or interesting for 30-45 minutes?"
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 21:20 (nine years ago) link
I really liked the first episode of Togetherness, will totally watch

Elijah was good as always.
His line about how he wouldn't have to see his ex if he didn't live in New York had me genuinely LOLLING
― #Research (stevie), Friday, 16 January 2015 09:59 (nine years ago) link
Same, but I'd started when said ex turned up at brunch wearing three tired New Jersey faghags.

The first episode seemed more like the last one of the series before.
― Minaj moron (Re-Make/Re-Model), Friday, 16 January 2015 11:05 (nine years ago) link
Elijah is consistently the funniest lately. but this show isn't particularly interested in comedy.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 16 January 2015 16:39 (nine years ago) link
I like his character, he's very good at doing that thing where a person is obviously full of shit but kind of believes his own bullshit.
― walid foster dulles (man alive), Friday, 16 January 2015 17:35 (nine years ago) link
ok the degree to which this writing workshop episode is incredibly awkward is sorta the narrow sweet spot where the show shines
― celfie tucker 48 (s.clover), Monday, 19 January 2015 21:54 (nine years ago) link
Elijah again w the only laughs
― Οὖτις, Monday, 19 January 2015 23:35 (nine years ago) link
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
― Sounds like a forks display name (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 20 January 2015 01:00 (nine years ago) link
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?!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 20 January 2015 13:18 (nine years ago) link
god I haaaated Elijah when he was introduced but he has really grown on me.
― Jennifer 8.-( (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 20 January 2015 14:06 (nine years ago) link
Like HPV.
he's a stereotype/caricature - at the same time I totally had friends p much exactly like him at that age
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 20 January 2015 16:25 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.
― virtuoso thigh slapper (Jordan), Tuesday, 20 January 2015 16:44 (nine years ago) link
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."
― virtuoso thigh slapper (Jordan), Tuesday, 20 January 2015 16:57 (nine years ago) link
I can't speak to it's realism, but this was def the most enjoyable episode in a long, long time

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

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

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.
