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.
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:22 (eleven years ago) link
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?
― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
I never really thought he was the worst at all.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
But I realize a lot of people did.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
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
― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
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

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

xp i still don't really like adam...
― rayuela, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:42 (eleven years ago) link
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
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:54 (eleven years ago) link
really liked the gawker recap again, just as a thing to read.
― s.clover, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 17:56 (eleven years ago) link
he was psycho & rapey & she had nothing but contempt for him & then she married him

― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:29 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
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!
― s.clover, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:57 (eleven years ago) link
it's more or less what he's doing anyway
― Authorities don't know who shot the 50 Cent the goose. (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
his recaps are actually pretty factual and accurate, just very... particular.
― s.clover, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 19:09 (eleven years ago) link
he tries to mock them for things they're doing intentionally. hes muddying the interpretive waters, its dumb
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 20:28 (eleven years ago) link
I read some of these and I find him kind of annoying
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
muddying the interpretive waters! couldn't we just say he's "problematizing the text" instead, and give him a gold star?
― s.clover, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
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
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 22:07 (eleven years ago) link
deconstruction of the text, whatever
those recaps are the worst
― dmr, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 22:25 (eleven years ago) link

not just his Girls recaps, either
what else does he do
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 23:11 (eleven years ago) link
it's shameful behaviour, really. and shameful writing too, of course.

I'd imagine this is true of anyone who angrily demands to be "balls deep" in a negotiation.

this show's advances in the realm of progressive womanist television are very nearly undermined by its oblivious, exclusionist and unknowingly racist (the worst kind, no?)
no.

overheard: "it's the 21st century, we don't more shows about what it's like being a rich, quirky Jew living in NYC"
Lena's show is stirring up so much racial h8red
