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.

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

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.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 13:11 (nine years ago) link
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.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:35 (nine years ago) link
Jess is p objectively horrible as a human being
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:37 (nine years ago) link
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
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:44 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 19:22 (nine years ago) link
i like how hateable she is. as far as the commitment of the actress etc

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

"Nepotism" would be like if Lena Dunham was Judd Apatow's daughter and Marnie Williams was the daughter of an HBO exec. There are an awful lot of actors/writers/directors in the world who are children of other successful people.
