I'm not sure I really like this show anymore either, but I'm still kind of compelled to see what happens. I definitely no longer care about any of these terrible people. It's like they're trying to force every interaction into some cartoony degree of cringe-worthiness, much more than what I remember it being like in the beginning. That being said, the last couple of episodes were definitely more entertaining than the first half of this season.

find it interesting that anyone ever cared about what happened to these characters, seems like the dramatic component of this show is generally there for general mood purposes or to darken the lols

I realized when I was watching this v stoned that Jessa kind of alarms me, like I have a v mild anxiety when her character is present in a scene

bcz she seems like such a dangerous and unstable and frightening and actually potentially damaging person to have in yr life

she is awful this season

I'm glad they left that part out of the opening scene.

will be a blu-ray extra.
dunham was on scandal last night, which i dont ordinarily watch but did just for lols to see if she has any acting range beyond the hannah/tiny furniture persona
she decidedly does not and was very bad, a considerable accomplishment given how low the bar seems to be on scandal for everyone not named kerry washington
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 March 2015 19:49 (nine years ago) link
I thought Jessa throwing the bottle of wine and then being a total asshole to those guys who weren't even mean abt it was sooooo NAGL and I super hope she starts growing up/acknowledging that other ppl around her exist

Also xposting from the Scandal thread but this is basically like watching a continuation of the episode where she puts on a wig and tries to role play with Adam in a bar

liked the pregnancy/delivery stuff in the finale (guess they had to give Jessa something non-evil to do this season). Ray/Marnie thing still totally unbelievable to me, also lol @Pfork and Brooklyn Vegan et al being into Marnie's sub-Lilith Fair crapola

Loved the last few episodes. Some corny business in the finale (cue miracle of childbirth, earnest montage music) but worth it to finally move the characters forward and make even Jessa sympathetic. They've driven the "these people are terrible" approach into the ground so I can forgive a little sentimentality. Favourite bit was the woman who offers Shosh the Tokyo job. Hai!

9. This is because he comes from a culture in which mothers focus every ounce of their attention on their offspring and don’t acknowledge their own need for independence as women. They are sucked dry by their children, who ultimately leave them as soon as they find suitable mates.

Like a genuinely dense and stupid person
i basically assume everything she says/does at this pt is said/done to elicit some kind of dramatic reaction which is unfortunate bc i think it is a lazy approach to creating art and it devalues her work generally

Dunham has described herself as feeling "very culturally Jewish, although that's the biggest cliché for a Jewish woman to say”; her father is Protestant, and her mother is Jewish.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 25 March 2015 16:56 (nine years ago) link
Really liked the finale, even the maudlin shit with Ray and Marnie, this show is solid pretty much any time it's not the Lena Dunham Hour as it turns out.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 25 March 2015 17:17 (nine years ago) link
Lotta good moments in the finale, good balance of 'lol these ppl are awful' and emotional stuff that actually worked. Cut to 6 months later too abrupt.
Fave bit was Shosh saying "--in Japan!" and wiggling her chopsticks. Shosh wins this season overall.
