Vanderdeath posted:Count me in on this, too. There's a really big segment of black people that think that behaving like that isn't 'black.' One of the reasons I like Donald Glover's Childish Gambino stuff is because he rages so hard against that mentality and I can personally relate to it. It's a shame that people hold that sentiment against him even though they're bringing him in to add some racial diversity. That was really the only problem I had with the show and I'm glad they're attempting to address it. Heh, me too. Black nerds up in this thread. Anyway, this was...interesting. Got flashbacks of Freaks and Geeks, and not just because of the Apatow writing credit. Not that many laughs this ep, and definitely felt like it was a bit of a backslide, both for Lena's character, and the show itself.

Scoobi posted:So is this episode about self realization? Adam realizes he misses Hannah. Hannah realizes she has been changed by Adam (probably not for the better). Her dad realizes he is not a young man anymore to be banging in a shower. The dancer chick does not realize how much of a disaster her LA life is going to be. Yeah, generally pedopholia isn't the sexiest bed talk. Am I the only one, or was the dancer not half-bad? Makes Hannah's making fun of her even more sad.

I knew some dancers in a college troupe that were much better. She was good looking, but thats about it. I'm not quite certain of the backstory to this Keri thing, but I thought the scene was portrayed as being ridiculous or tasteless combined with the amateur routine.

I think the whole dancer subplot was just a mirror for Hannah to see her own anxieties, albeit in a more cartoonish and simplified fashion. She basically is going to do the same thing Hannah does, go to the big city and try to make it on how good she thinks she is. Seeing her friend actually dance just reflects Hannah's doubts about her writing, if it's actually any good or if she's just riding high on her dreams, which her parents were talking about in a cutaway to their dinner conversation. It also reflects back on the whole small town/big city push and pull that Hannah's going through. If she stays in a small town like this, her writing might be mediocre, but everyone will think it's the poo poo. Whereas out there, she's more likely to get her dreams stepped on. I think it's hilarious that Adam and Hannah are changing each other, for better or for worse. Can't get over that tighter like a baby line... hope and vaseline fucked around with this message at May 21, 2012 around 15:38 |

Yeah having a sexy hip-hop dance at the benefit for the girl you left behind in Barbados or whatever seemed tasteless, but maybe it fit with the absent Carrie's personality. A Hannah-only episode is too much. I felt like I was cringing the whole time. Her clothes are awkward for her body type and I hate feeling judgey about that.

It was weird for me because the girls from my highschool who seemed to like to do a dance routine for any occasion they could were not in the same circles as the townies. But anyway, Hannah with her tight baby vagina was talking about herself and her fears when she was in the car with Eric. Hannah is such a tragic figure. Not in any grand dramatic sense, but in this weirdly real rudderless, skill-less, idiotic way. Her talking on the phone to Adam at the end was sad too. Snapping up every morsel he carelessly dropped as if they were genuinely and affectionately placed for her.  Needs more Shoshana.

explosivo posted:I liked this episode, I can definitely relate to the feeling of coming home to visit and trying to work up the nerves to ask for some money. Part of the reason I like this show so much is because it perfectly captures that aimless confused feeling of being right out of college, where all the poo poo you were "promised" about adulthood doesn't start to happen. Being home at 24 is a weird in between place, where you are trying to redefine your relationship with your parents, make yourself into an adult but still being in this place where you were a child. Plus the poo poo she does while at home is exactly the same poo poo I did when I went home at that age. Raiding your parents full-as-gently caress fridge after they go to bed, sleeping in until 11, talking to your friends from your "real-life" out on the front lawn on your cell phone after dark. It just all rang extremely true for me. Even referring to your parents' house as "home". I'm 32 and I still do that, tell people I'm going home for the weekend, even though I haven't lived with my parents for 14 years.

I was really worried that an exclusively Hannah episode was just gonna be terrible and insufferable, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I definitely found myself missing the other characters, but the stuff going on, especially parent-sex, was funny enough to be worth the trip. Adam may be becoming my favorite character at this point. Dude's just so weird, but he seems to have himself figured out more than anyone else on this show. He just lives his weird, shirtless apartment life, and does whatever he wants. Woodworking? Why not?

She can always rely on him to be there, weird, shirtless, to have awkward sex with, and to be an rear end in a top hat all around and treat her poorly.

I understand that feeling of displacement (even though these characters seem too old for it, I guess that's the Gen-X in me grumbling). I think I mostly got lost on her sex scene with bland blond guy. One minute he's telling her they don't have to have sex because he doesn't want to pressure her into anything, and the next she's sticking her finger in his rear end? She really thought that was the next step in non-verbal "let's get loving"? She really has come a long way from East Lansing High. I watched each of the previous episodes twice but not this one.

The girl's been loving Adam for how long now. That's got to mess with your idea of what normal sex is.

That wasn't normal sex, that was boring sex. Under the sheets? Hannah's parents looked like they were having fun.

Well, she was also wearing what looked like an old outfit from high school, which is probably why it was so tight and unflattering. Hannah put on the Freshman Fifty and apparently never lost it.

Weirdest thing to take away from it but the line about the girl who they left behind being such a free spirit because she wore odd socks made me laugh. I have like two female friends who have worn odd socks and one of them has grown out of it and I'm pretty sure the other one will too. It just seems like the most pointless attempt at being different. "Tight like a baby" made me laugh so hard.

Yeah, I saw the scene start and I thought "Wow, this is really daring for her, showing this much skin," and then went right to "WAIT NO YOU'RE THE MOST MOM-Y MOM EVER, THAT'S NOT NECESSARY!" But I think that's kinda the point. I hope John Francis Daly and Linda Cardelini were watching and just went "Wait, What?"

I wonder if it's a conscious choice? No costume designer in their right mind would dress someone like that if it wasn't deliberate. That is what I choose to believe, anyway. Babydoll dresses = flattering to no one, especially when they make you look pregnant.

Part of the reason I'm hooked on this show so much is that many of the scenarios hit close to home and she portrays them really well.
