It's not even the conversation (though it doesn't help), so much as the "This is just something I'm doing during sex, without any thought of how you might feel about it or how it might affect you (or memory of it afterwards)", like Hannah was just there to add texture to his wanking.

This was really great. Impressing more with each episode, even if it's got some rough bits. Some good lines. I liked Tako.

remaining sympathy for weed dad evaporated when he called Jessa a tease

That thing looks likes it's going to jump up and fuck u in the mouth (or something like that).
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 28 May 2012 04:24 (twelve years ago) link
Eh. She sort of was though.
calling someone a tease scans as a total rapeyface thing to say to me though
― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Monday, 28 May 2012 04:26 (twelve years ago) link
Well, sure, it's a shitty thing to call someone.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 28 May 2012 04:27 (twelve years ago) link
It would be nice if this were the jumping-off point for some sort of Jessa development - mainly that she realises her actions are (THEME) selfish and actually do have an effect on those around her. Weed dad was a total saddo, and the 'tease' line confirmed the kind of guy he is (although really he's just a saddo trying at something he's not and failing so the 'tease' comment was probably less earnest and more a go-to), but he got decked by the crustie punks just because of Jessa's shitty actions. And nobody ever calls her out on them.

x-post - I just meant that in general she knew that he had the hots for her and was playing up to it since they met. He was angry at her and said a shitty thing but people often do say shitty things when they're angry. I never really had any sympathy for him at all though. What is that guy from anyway? He looks v familiar to me.

Caught up on the whole series yesterday (other than tonight's episode, of course). Adam seems like a guy who probably just had a lot of cybersex in his teens and grew from there. I really like that he's turning in to the love interest--the perfect thing that a serial TV series can do unexpectedly.
― Odd Spice (Eazy), Monday, 28 May 2012 04:53 (twelve years ago) link
There should be an episode where the gals watch Girls using Hannah's parents' HBOGO password.

he was Wally on Mildred Pierce. That's why I recognized him anyway, but he's been in a lot of stuff.
― mizzell, Monday, 28 May 2012 13:54 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, 'Donal Logue Impersonator's Troupe' is nuts!!! James LeGros is total indie-flick royalty (Near Dark, Drugstore Cowboy, Living in Oblivion, Safe, The Rapture, like 5 million other 90s Sundance touchstones)!
― Walter Galt, Monday, 28 May 2012 14:15 (twelve years ago) link
Ahhhh, thank you! I tried looking him up on the ep list before and couldn't find him. He's totally one of those guys that you're like, "Hey, it's that guy!" but can't quite place. For me, at least.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 28 May 2012 14:32 (twelve years ago) link
He'll always be "sensitive pony tail guy" from Singles to me.

Hilarious episode. Crusty punk confrontation, accidental crack smoking, non-sexual groin massage, Tako with a K, bike in the cab close, just great stuff.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Monday, 28 May 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
I wish I could remember Tako's exact line about her name. "It's not a big deal, but it's really important to me" or something to that effect.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Monday, 28 May 2012 21:45 (twelve years ago) link
"It's not that big a deal, it's just something that's important to me" is the exact line. "It's just that I can usually tell when someone thinks it's with a 'C'" hahaha.

everyone on this show is horrible basically and so are we

I still don't understand what is supposedly horrible about the main characters. Someone please explain.
― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Monday, 28 May 2012 23:45 (twelve years ago) link
They're self-centered and whiny. Also they are white and come from a middle-class kind of privilege.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Monday, 28 May 2012 23:45 (twelve years ago) link
tho ilx has a tendency to be weirdly judgmental of fictional characters based on some sort of set of moral absolutes.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Monday, 28 May 2012 23:46 (twelve years ago) link
I'm all of those things too! Doesn't seem that horrible.
― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Monday, 28 May 2012 23:48 (twelve years ago) link
it totally is though. if you're a girl.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Monday, 28 May 2012 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
apparently. i don't know. not so much on ilx, but even a casual wander through comments sections and Girls discussions finds a lot of unchecked misogyny.
Not shocked.

Marnie is sort of a terrible person, tho v. v. pretty
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 28 May 2012 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
She's definitely the least sympathetic.
I lold at "Are you one of those TV housewives?" or whatever the tiny Navajo said to her.

I'm pretty impressed that Shoshanna and her cousin are paying off as characters now, they seemed absolutely terrible at the start..

i sympathized with her during the break-up
I sympathized with her until this week.
