Girls

I like how we the viewers are learning more about Adam as Hannah is. She really doesn't know the guy at all.

"He's in AA?"
"Well, that's like the main defining thing about him. That, and his love of books."

[dorothy mantooth]

Another hilarious, cringe-inducing episode. I thought this one was particularly well-written. She finally made ME fall in love with Adam. Also -- dude is so bipolar. (And Adam Driver is really fucking good at his job.)

[pollymaepry]

Yeah Adam's like my favorite character now. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

Also, Chris O'Dowd's bizarre accent that went wildly in-n-out.

So now Adam is Mr. Awesome Boyfriend? Except that he PEES ON HER AND THINKS IT'S FUNNY.

"When I was young I named my vagina 'Sara'. Without an 'h'."
"I've always wanted to fuck a Sara."
"Without an 'h'."
"...I heard you."

"I saw your mom's cunt. It was an accident."

[jkwall]

I thought this episode was a bit over the top. Neither of the "outbursts" (Adam and the taxi, Chris O'Dowd and the experimenting women) really felt like they belonged there. Everything else about it was great. Especially Chris O'Dowd's mash-in's and his attempts to get in on the kissing.

[Fritz Zwicky]

Chris O'Dowd's speech really exemplified something that makes this show so interesting to me: I kinda agreed with him on some of the stuff he was saying. Of course, him demanding sex because they spilled wine on his rug was bad, but on a lot of the other points he really had them dead to rights. Just what the fuck was their game plan on going to his house and fucking with him? He was the only person being honest in that situation from the get-go, and they were acting just like the attractive, spoiled girls that they are. I'm not saying that they had any obligation to do anything with him, but they knew that they were leading him on from the start.

Then again, he eventually came off like an asshole, but that's part of the weird dynamic this show's got going. Every time you start to identify with a character, they do something harsh and off-putting.

Chris O'Dowd's rant came off weird to me because I forget that only Marnie works when I am watching the show. Tons of shows have characters (especially the young group of friends genre of show like HIMYM, New Girl, Friends, etc) who supposedly work but all they ever seem to do is hang out, so seeing characters hang out endlessly, it doesn't strike me as priviledged or spoiled so much as television.

In a shower, as a joke. My guess is based on what we've seen of their relationship she would have been totally cool with it had that shower not been about avoiding him because he was fucking up his play/monologue thing.

"It doesn't make sense to get out now. There's pee on you."

[smartbunny]

I guess I don't see the joke.

I don't think Adam ever came off as being perfect or anything but neither is Hannah. They're both weird but they're enjoying each other. Weirdos need girlfriends too. I don't think they're being set up to get married or anything. Besides, I agree with Eric. If this had been an evening that Adam called Hannah over and they had really weird sex and then showered together she would have thought the peeing was funny or at least just a part of his mysterious and off-putting charm. But he hadn't been over-bearing and yelled at a taxi for her then.

He was the only person being honest in that situation from the get-go, and they were acting just like the attractive, spoiled girls that they are.

Jessa was honest through the entire encounter about not liking the encounter or thinking it was a good idea. And while she may not have laid it out to O'Dowd's character Marnie did make it pretty clear to us and to Jessa that she wanted to spend the evening being impulsive. She didn't want to be uptight, she wanted to be someone who could take a spur of the moment trip to Rome (I think it was Rome, I don't remember). I'm also not sure Marnie didn't think she would fuck him at some point. Either way, he was just unlucky enough to catch them on that particular night where Marnie wanted to be in the moment and Jessa wanted to bond with Marnie.

Maybe. But I have done that to a girl and she was equally unimpressed even after I had thought we had established a mutual sense of weird humour. Girls.

TMI?

One person's TMI is another's JEI

I just didn't get why Jessa stuck with it when Marnie obviously wanted to hook up with that dude and she had no interest in any of it. It was a weird female cockblock (Vag badge? Snatch patch?) and weirder still that Marnie didn't just tell her to go home. And don't give me that "Jessa wanted to protect Marnie from a skeeziod" shit, because that's not in her character. If anything she would encourage Marnie to use this douche to cut loose, have a meaningless fuck and get Adam out of her system. (His name may not be Adam -- sorry i can't pull the ex b's name.)

[Jouster]

Adam is Hannah's guy. Charlie is the one you meant.

I think this is a great show.

It's a bit of a stretch (you're right, they really never tell you at all) but I assumed it was because of Jessa's mini-epiphany in the last episode or two that she can't just be fucking random dudes and being her weird self. So she wanted to just hang out with a friend, settled for Marnie, then wouldn't let it go. Or maybe it's just another random weird thing that happened on this show that we will never understand.

Jessa seemed pretty into MARNIE. And she's that stereotypical chick who wants to "experiment" as much as possible. Maybe that's why?

Also...

"CHARLIE'S IN THE BUSHES!!! CHARLIE'S IN THE BUSHES!!!"

[Ian Brill]

Adam Driver is turning in great work. I think he's giving us one of the best performances in TV right now.

Although this is not an example of that, I still love Marnie reporting "he was taking a dump and drinking a glass of milk." That is fucking comedy right there.

EDIT: Just went to the guy's IMDb page (not a reliable source, mind). His bio is simply:

"Graduated from Juilliard.

Used to be a marine."

Talking about saying a lot with just a little.

[smartbunny]

Jessa seemed pleased when she thought it was the older man buying them drinks; and was visibly bummed at Chris O'Dowd.
