I'm falling for this show like a fresh-faced intern falls for an arrogant producer who will just treat her poorly.
So what was the Big Horror Show about people finding out that Mac cheated on Will? Humiliation? Or am I missing something, which most certainly may be the case becauseeveryonetalksveryfastandsnappy.
I find that when I betray the trust of a coworker I used to date (on the very same day I vowed never to discuss our past relationship with anyone) by accidentally letting every single employee in the company know that I cheated on him, I usually just let it roll right off my back.Originally Posted by smartbunny
Like so many people, I am also loving and hating this show!
"He's a black guy who's not afraid to criticize Obama" - This is why I am glad that Girls doesn't have any prominent black characters. When white people who have never been around black people start writing about black people, this is what happens.

Also, I hope we get a new young blonde woman to hate every episode!
And the Will can give a speech at the end of the season that recaps his rant in E1 about how we used to be men in this country while a soft-focus montage of all the dumb women from the season plays behind him. They can use the awful theme song for added gravitas.
But I did like this episode. It's just more fun to talk about the parts I hated.

Well, as I have established, I don't understand humans. Why would anyone on the staff care about that?
Also: isn't Alison Pill supposed to be the nervous, shy character? Did her personality suddenly morph?

that lady was waaaaay too good at karaoke.
Oh. No one cares. And she doesn't either. She was the one trying to email Will to ask his permission to tell people that she was the one who did the cheating. She wasn't embarrassed that people knew this non-scandalous secret, it was just that she had betrayed Will's trust.
You also have to understand the Sorkin archetype: in his world, brilliant people who are super-talented, hard-working and the best in the business at their jobs are like 12-year-olds when it comes to relationships. It makes otherwise insufferable people relatable and charmingly flawed. (Sometimes.)
Also incapable of NOT sending an email to the entire company, as though email is the new thing no one knows how to use yet.
Man this show is dreamy. Intercutting the Statue of Liberty in the final scene after all the immigration talk in the episode was about as elegant as cutting a train in half with a chainsaw. Lengthwise.

I did not see the e-mail thing coming at all. And did I miss something or did that round-headed blonde girl totally become a different character between the last episode and this one?
What was the best concert you've been to?
"Probably Sade. It was just so sexy and relaxing."
If I could, I'd watch all 10 episodes of this fucking show in one sitting.
Remember though, this show takes place in the Internet frontier that was 2010. God I remember it like it was yesterday... Getting my first aol email address, the cacophonous buzz of dial-up, not knowing which porn site was best. Were we ever so naive?
Trying to make a phone call on your building's party line, hoping no one was listening in as you dialed up your sweetheart at Klondike-2417!
Ugh, with the bringing the dates into the newsroom and double UGH with Mac even giving a shit and/or being such a girl about it. Stupid. And shut up, Maggie. It's noneyadamn.
This show bums me out, it's such a fantasy. The boldest move I've seen from a newsman in this country was when Anderson Cooper got all mad at that plastic surgery lady.
TV innit
This show is a trainwreck! (Ironically, Will McAvoy refuses to cover trainwrecks.)
