Its not rough the way they make it seem in the episode. Far more marnies than nu-charlies

this was the best episode of this show in a very long time.

this episode managed the amazing trick of underscoring and making extremely blatant every critique you could possibly make about most of the main characters, and yet, somehow, making them more likable in the end. in fact this should probably have been the last episode of the series.

oh wow this gives me hope! I was planning on getting around to this week's ep like whenver, eventually

it was very good.

Really good ep. But I didn't dislike the panic in needle park one either. The show is easily overrated but also easily over hated imo

these were okay, a little DO U SEE with the characters' stating things so plainly
also lol @ Dunham getting her characters' ethnicity wrong

Last two episodes some of the best of the entire show, enjoyed them more than anything since before Hannah went to Iowa. Jenny Slate was great (even if I got weird vibes that Lena Dunham was trying to cop some Broad City vibe in their scenes) and that ep's denouement with Jessa and Adam was great. The Jessa and Adam stuff in the final episode was really dark, and painful, and stirring.

Oh wow that WAS a good episode. So fed up w Hannah for stealing a bike tho.

a twenty-five or whatever yr old w a framed seance on a wet afternoon poster is the least realistic thing ever depicted on this show
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 19 April 2016 23:49 (eight years ago) link
i knew twenty five yr olds w/ a framed Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? poster tho -- is that more realistic or less realistic?
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 20 April 2016 01:22 (eight years ago) link
All through that fight I kept thinking "Oh Ray, your lovely, lovely apartment..."
What's the Elliot Gould movie he's got the poster for over the fireplace?
― Jerry Lee Lewis: The Total Film-Maker (stevie), Wednesday, 20 April 2016 08:23 (eight years ago) link
Poster is Ray's, he's older.

that's from Long Goodbye, and its a cardboard standup iirc?

altho yeah lol my thought too was "wow what a couple of assholes, breaking all Ray's shit"
i knew twenty five yr olds w/ a framed Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? poster tho

My wife started watching girls and I missed most of the first season but I kept catching bits of the end of the first and second season and started watching it with her. I will say that I had assumed I would hate this show, and I mostly do. Season final was very good, even though I hate most of the characters, I will say, Shoshanna is way underused, and Elijah is maybe the best.

this show is so tonally bizarre--i've never understood how its admirers (which included me once upon a time) can square the "you're supposed to hate the characters and their privilege etc" with what can only be described as bathetic non-sequiturs for which caring about the characters seems a prerequisite. and the lazy hipster caricatures! and the flatly fantastical parable in which ray's coffee shop catera to "adults" where adulthood simply means, i dunno, having a job and not being a hipster anymore? and i felt like the trashing of the apt sequence was kind of desperate because they didn't really have anything actually dramatic to do. i guess i dont get this show at all.
― ryan, Thursday, 21 April 2016 13:22 (eight years ago) link
oh and the broad city thing was strange, since it seemed like a fairly explicit allusion. it somehow comes off as professional jealously.
― ryan, Thursday, 21 April 2016 13:34 (eight years ago) link
also was the last shot a reference to the 400 Blows.
― ryan, Thursday, 21 April 2016 13:38 (eight years ago) link
yea the anti-hipster coffee shop seemed like a misstep for this show. otm on too flat a portrayal. I think the rest of ur critique is on point but the tone mix is a strength & makes it sortof more nuanced than staying in 1 lane. like y cant you hate their privilege and also care abt them?
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 21 April 2016 13:41 (eight years ago) link
i think that's fair--maybe the cognitive dissonance is too much for me.
― ryan, Thursday, 21 April 2016 13:43 (eight years ago) link
there are no coffee shops without lids. they all have the lids off to the side somewhere.
― Treeship, Thursday, 21 April 2016 13:49 (eight years ago) link
Last two shows were really poorly written. They do this every season - Hannah asks like a jerk for nine episodes then gets some kind of gentle affirming resolution. Everyone else has their character monstered at the last minute for holding Hannah back.

add this to the list of shows that i just keep watching out of some self imposed obligation to finish what i started while no longer getting enjoyment out of it.

Ray rode by me slowly on a bike recently and if it's possible for a facial expression to say "Yeah, that's right, I'm Ray," that's exactly what it said.

i kind of despise the "I'm moving to canada" crap tbh, it's so smug, entitled, and disingenuous, not available to the people who might actually benefit from it, and it plays into the hands of the "cosmopolitan elitist liberal blah blah blah" label the right puts on rich/famous liberals. also the country i live in is not a consolation prize.
