I'm pretty sure we are supposed to think these are bratty ass, spoiled people. Its pretty much supposed to shyt on that generation and that trust fund baby type, but its also supposed to touch on their naivity, hijinx and I would think ultimately their growth and doing what they gotta do at times. Yes, we've seen some bratty ass, insensitive shyt, but this season has shown a little realization by each. They are all spoiled brats, so they gonna resort, but I think that's the point. Not supposed to love these people.



this nikka said growth and realization

gawd, where do I begin with this episode

Hannah is finally realizing what the real world is REALLY like. I thought the episode ended perfectly with her falling asleep on the couch. Thats the signature move for someone new to the work world. Everyone has been through that phase. Now it'll be interesting to see what happens to her relationship with Adam if she continues down the path of normalcy. The scene with the daily show correspondent girl (too lazy to look her up) may have been some foreshadowing.

Shoosh treats her boyfriend like everyone in the group treated her. Nothing else to say there. She's also having a typical "my ex is doing better without me" breakdown.

Now this Marnie and Ray shyt :beli: …. :beli:….I mean :beli:

Two lonely losers looking for love. Scratch that, two lonely losers who want a nut with no feelings attached, but with someone close enough as to not feel like a smut. Except, Ray hopes this blossoms into something respectable. Marnie already has this nikka by the balls and they're not even in a relationship. The interactions they have are similar to 2 ex's getting back together. You know - one has hopes, the other has reservations - but they're both willing to try because its familiar territory and there aren't any better opportunities available.

Until Shoosh comes back into the picture :smugbiden:

And she and Ray fukk :smugbiden:

And then Marnie realizes she likes Ray:smugbiden:

And now Marnie's heart is broken and Ray makes the decision to cut shyt off with Shoosh and commit to her :smugbiden:

Good episode.

I feel like Jessa has been lost in most of this. She's just chilling at that baby boutique now I guess.

I think ^^^ that is what will probably happen to the Ray, Marnie, Shosh dynamic. I thought Shosh and Ray were really funny this episode, and Ray being in scenes with Marnie makes Marnie actually tolerable.

I like how this show goes into the trials and tribulations of being a writer, it slyly comments on the class implications of being a writer like Hannah, and is decent commentary on writing that we're usually exposed to on the internet and in magazines. And also I feel like it's always poking fun at people who claim they are 'writers' which I particularly like because, myself, I rather dislike those people who call themselves writers but are hacks or piss out empty stories to post online or in advertorials which is in no way a reflection on myself and my shattered dreams and aspirations which has turned me into an embittered shiftless cynic at the ripe age of 24. No. Not at all :sadbron:

ANYWAY, I think that observation is more a reflection on myself, another side to it is that the show really aims to depict a writer's lifestyle and the difficulties that sometimes comes packaged with that route, which is, nice :manny:

Personally feel that this was a Top 3 episode of all time. Ray is easily the best character in this entire show. His dialogue is hilarious every time. The post two posts from this hit the nail on the head. It's only a matter of time before Shosh and Ray get back together. Marnie and Parker are interims for both parties.

Lol at Shosh getting her back blown out to Wale's Bad though :russ:

She called that nikka Dumb mid-beat. nikka carried on like it was nuttin. :deadrose:

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 :lolbron:



I LOVE AFRICA! was great, and then the "that was a weird thing to say!" - comedy done right

My girls favorite part of watching episodes with me is when I react out loud to a nude Hannah scene

She fell off the couch when I screamed at this weeks random topless scene :laugh:

Shosh with the heel turn :banderas:

Could you chill the fukk out about dinner, that duck tasted like a used condom and I wanna forget about it :mjlol:

You guys never listen to me, you treat me like I'm a fukking cab driver, you have entire conversations in front of me like I'm invisible, and sometimes I think, if my social anxiety is holding me back from meeting people, who would actually be right for me instead of a bunch of fukking whiny nothings as friends :wow:

Jess goes to rehab for 5 fukking seconds and now we have to listen to everything she comes up with :banderas:

Gay guy #1: Hey, doesn't Hannah remind you of Sadie

Gay guy #2: Sadie's fat as shyt :heh:

Hannah: :sadcam:
