I'm in love with this show now. Nothing to do with how good it is, or its commentary, but just through familiarity with the characters. Just bursting out into a giggle (n/h) before Ray opens his mouth cause you know it's about to be a smack down, or knowing exactly where it was gonna end up with Smosh and the guy in the library. Last show I felt a connection with like that was Entourage (could've been HTMIIA but it was too short), but then I realize that was one of the last proper shows I watched weekly cause I liked it so much. As opposed to watching the whole season in a row where it's more like a fleeting distraction than a proper experience namean?
Great plot with Hannah, I feel it's been the realist part of the show's run. Even if I don't have the same experiences with acquaintances going through this kinda thing, I'm sure it's a bitter reality for those types of artistic people that have their heart set on something else. What added to this personally was the black chick looking almost exactly like a chick I worked with in an early call center job I had and one of the only convos we had was the typical hopes/dreams thing, and this girl actually had a piece accepted to Sundance, traveled around, and was working as a receptionist. I think amongst the talking we both knew we weren't gonna end up nowhere despite our "specialness" of not actually belonging in that mostly lower-class work environment. But... there we were for the moment.
The Marnie/Ray scenes aren't bad and will always be entertaining as long as Ray's talking and they're fighting. Adam and Hannah's last scene may hint as growing unrest as Adam actually lucks into something while actually not caring while Hannah is slipping the opposite way.
Very good episode, not one flaw. Well one flaw, that token Jessa scene shouldn't have ever existed
I LOVE AFRICA! was great, and then the "that was a weird thing to say!" - comedy done right
