charlie was good in the finale, the way he crumbled 2 marnie after everything "thats all i ever wanted to hear/youre all i want" or w/e idk i found that v real & sad

charlie had his moments but in general was part of a terrible arc/subplot - good riddance. more Ray!

charlie only got interesting at the end of this season, but mostly he was a lame wet mop
dayo would be much better in this role imo

charlie was a good character, i felt. i think they should have the cast alternate what roles they play... so like, one episode the guy who usually plays adam plays marnie, and zosia mamet plays jessa, etc, and then see how peoples' emotional attachments are affected, like if they are more attached to the characters or the actors, and if they can separate the two. it would make television history, and it would be an interesting thing for lena dunham to discuss in the after-show interviews. maybe christopher abbott would agree to come back if he was allowed to play hannah's dad.

n.b. i've always wanted to have a show where that happened. are there any pretexts for a similar idea, in the world of experimental film or something?

in the season finale they could do like an accelerated version, where casting shifts mid-scene, and the characters don't have any identifying visual characteristics like costumes or something, you just need to be following the plot and using context clues to figure out who is who.

I have a lot of ideas like that I rec. that you don't say them out loud or tell people about them in any way
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Friday, 12 April 2013 05:09 (eleven years ago) link
probably good advice. if i'm ever put at the helm of an HBO dramedy though... you know what to expect.
― everything i know about metal i learned from this website (Pat Finn), Friday, 12 April 2013 05:12 (eleven years ago) link
on a serious note, i think that charlie leaving will be good for the show -- much as i liked him -- because there won't be any more scenes in the office of his startup. never did the show seem so out of touch as those scenes. i feel like i could do without jessa too. the show is at its strongest when it is at its most naturalistic, even its darkest. i think that any form of glamor is just taking away from what lena does best.
― everything i know about metal i learned from this website (Pat Finn), Friday, 12 April 2013 05:16 (eleven years ago) link
i am holding out hope that they keep the character but we never see his face, all the shots are of the back of his head and his lines are all raggedly edited with the wrong ambient sound, clipped from outtake recordings and past shows. Then at the end of the season he is bludgeoned to death by a guy in a gorilla suit inside of a williamsburg club while dancing with marnie and the cellphone video goes viral and that's how marnie finally becomes a star
― gr8 tr∞lls i have known (forksclovetofu), Friday, 12 April 2013 05:19 (eleven years ago) link
wait, you also got advanced scripts for next season?

I still don't like the OCD thing, it just reminds me of one 20-something friend who constantly talks about how she is bipolar. Number one it comes across as a way to indulge her ego, number two it's a gratuitous act of self-mythologizing (which i guess is what your 20s is all about), number 3 it's sort of a hipster flag of authenticity. All truly great artists are tortured souls. Hannah isn't just a spoiled woman too lazy to actually do any work, she is SUFFERING for her ART, she is TORTURED and trying to OVERCOME great odds. Puh-leeze.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 12 April 2013 16:14 (eleven years ago) link
eh, but the suffering isn't romanticized at all... it's presented in a pretty cringeworthy way... so i think it might actually undercut that old cliche of the suffering artist, and i think that might be the point of it all

Having shirtless ex-boyfriend racing through the streets to save her, break down her door, and cradle her in his arms is not romanticizing, ok.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 12 April 2013 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
i think that scene was kind of ironic, like adam and hannah are going through the motions of a cliched, borderline sexist romance narrative, even though it is clear that "coming together" is not enough to save them; they're indulging a fantasy, and i think that is indicated by the over-the-top music playing during that scene. i explained this position upthread. i don't think anyone agreed with me
