GIRLS Season 4

Every time I think about the Letter, and it keeps coming to mind, I feel like I hate Hannah a little more. I think she learned to do a good job at feigning empathy, or at least a good job at getting by at feigning empathy when she was surrounded by family and friends. She had learned their cues, what you are supposed to say, what is important to echo back in response, what they will put up with. What to hide. And now she is in a completely different environment, not just new people but new people who aren't cut from the same cloth she has been learning to wear all these years. She doesn't have the old people to run back to for validation about every little thing the new people do that throws her either, she has no outlet that might help her keep her mouth shut around the new people. So we see the raeal Hannah, without the props she's been clumsily leaning on for so long. The self absorption is staggering, it's at mental health issue levels IMO.
 
The book group's (Oh, definitely look into the Book Group, and the Book Club was a stunning set of webisodes the had a little Gillian Jacobs in it...

:D ) job is to beat the shit out of each other until there work becomes unbeatable.

Hannah's only problem is that she already thought that she was perfect, and everyone that couldn't see that she was/is perfect just didn't understand her perfection until she explained herself with enough clarity.

Fuck me.

Hannah is the Borg.
 
She doesn't know that.

Emperors New clothes.

Remember at the party looking after the sad drunk girl "Don't worry, I'm 24 so I know everything, and I will save you."
 
People keep telling me that. Someone told me the other day, "he's only 26, that's practically a kid still these days." Which is a sad bunch of bollocks.

I think it's true. I'm 30 and I would call me and all of my friends kids, I'm definately not a grown-up.
 
I don't even know what to say to that. I'm like super immature but I've considered myself a complete grown up since I was at least 19. Maybe moving out at 16 had something to do with that, ie not having the luxury of being coddled. It's kind of insane to me that it's this big deal for Hannah's parents to stop fully supporting her, paying her RENT ffs when she's in her 20's. I blame the US college system.

I'm in a weird situation right now. I'm living with my parents while they're helping me go to College right now. I'm 33, I certainly am classified as an adult, but since I live at home I do feel like a "kid" at times.

I can also relate to what Guy was saying, my parents were around my age when I was born, and my current self right now can't imagine having a kid at the moment and being a "grown up" lol.

You basically described my life. *not-grown-up-high-five*
 
"No, you don't know Hannah, she'll stay in there until we have a new president. She's stubborn as fuck and likes to be in bed a lot."

I fell in love little bit there.

Going places and doing things is for young people trying to prove something, so where's a woman for me that just wants to stay in bed a lot? Not sexually. Sex is also for young people trying to prove something. Staying in bed to read, watch old movies and order pizza from is the future.

Fuck the lounge.

The lounge can die for all I care.

Snuggling up on a couch is awkward and dangerous.

...

Jessa needs to be shot because she made Hannah seem reasonable, and did Ray have a window there with Hannah that he completely missed?
 
That was a great episode, Adam and Shosh were the only ones coming out of it looking somewhat sane... And yeah, Jessa... ugh.
 
Arguing over who got called first.

Lose Marnie's number.

Maybe she got the job done, or maybe Hannah had 24 hours to let her shit cool off.
 
I haz a question. Why was Adam so sane and no longer acting like he's got an electric eel up his butt and he's going to kill someone. The whole episode I was staring at him, his face is all quiet and soft and his voice is so calm and measured.

Is that all because Hannah left and a little bony person arrived? What, no it didn't make a lot of sense to me, we have never seen him like that. I am going to speculate he is on some major meds OR he has just deeply sucked down the 12 Steps programming and is in some 12 Steps lull where he believes he is destined for good things and Hannah isn't there to hold up the mirror to all his depravity and angers.

I was freaked out by his face. He looked so different.

Very good episode.

Re Jessa I remember she started to say something about Adam once during a Skype with Hannah but then got distracted and left.

The tea made me laugh. It is AWFUL being the comforting person to the devastated dumped person, awful. You do just that, make these repeated suggestions like they are talismans you're using in place of knowing what to say.

They are all lucky Hannah kicked them out and so they got to do their bit but did not have to sit on the bed for hours and hours and hours listening to her.
 
Why did you call Gillian "a little bony person" because it almost sounds like you have not watched Community.

Say it ain't so, say it ain't so.

Hannah spun out.

Mimi-Rose made tea.

The more intense the next situation, the more Hannah spins out, and the more Tea Mimi-Rose makes.

Here's the draw back to Mimi-Rose: The sex is like dry toast.

Do you really think Mimi-Rose asks to be punched during the act?

I think it was just a (not very subtle) attempt to show that Hannah was a major enabler for his erratic behaviour.
 
He was like that when she met him. The enormous change in his manner didn't work for me, I repeat it is either drugs (prescribed or otherwise) or he's in some cult like state.

I have seen about 4 eps of Community. I don't remember the actor.

Mimi Rose's youtube lecture was icky. How can Adam go out with someone who can simper on about a childhood crush like that and call it teaching. It was simpery, yes.

And noooo Mimi Rose does not ask to be punched or all the other brave weird things they did together, she just doesn't. And that's it! Adam is trying out that cult, self-satisfied normality. It's sooo peaceful, so very peaceful.
