Weekly Girls. S4|E4.

This week's episode was a heavy hitter. The harsh reality of the real world hit almost every character in the jugular. Let's dive right in.  

S4| E1: SSS: The scandalous, scariest, and saddest scenes.

Scandalous Scene: 

Once again, Marnie snags this category! However it's not a proud moment, but when does she ever have one of those? Desi knocks on her door, crying like a teenage girl from MTV's Sweet Sixteen. He has "broken up" with Clementine because she has admitted to an attraction to some other guy. Then he told her about his trysts with Marnie. I'm calling bullshit on this one. Sounds more like Clementine dumped his sorry caboose. Marnie almost has a moment of clarity when she questioned who dumped who. Three little words wipe away any good sense Marnie had. Marnie's face beams when Desi proclaims his love for her, and they begin to steam up her tiny apartment with tainted love. Great scene, terrible human beings. 

Scariest Scene:

It was hard to choose this one, as the definition of scary is fluid. I've decided on Shoshanna's job rejection. Getting an email rejection is hard enough, but being rejected before the interview is even over? Scary and upsetting. Shoshanna can't seem to control her bluntness, and she has a superficial air about her that is getting in the way of opportunity. However, she is very intuitive, and she might be the most moral character in the series. The advice she gives Ray shows just how smart she is, and I don't doubt her future success. 

Saddest Scene:

Everything having to do with Hannah was sad in this week's episode. For the past few seasons, she has been getting these amazing opportunities; An Ebook, a Job at GQ, and entry to an exclusive Writer's Workshop. If it's not taken away from her, she screws it up royally. I think the saddest scene is the one with her professor. The joke is over, and it's clear that Hannah just isn't happy. Admitting defeat is very difficult but it doesn't seem like Hannah's class of pretentious fools will ever let her in. There doesn't seem to be any way that she could turn things around, and seeing Hannah lose another opportunity (because of her crazy mind) is hard to witness.

Best Lines:

"That was a stiff hug." - Hannah (To Adam)

"Can we not use the word dumped? It's just so violent." - Desi

"For a second and I thought I was getting kicked out and I was so happy." - Hannah

"People always think I'm not going to fit in at first, but I always do - I always fit in, just very subtly." - Shoshanna

"Well, you made a song." - Jessa 

Loser of the Week: Adam

Ok, Adam. We get it. Hannah left you alone in Brooklyn to fend for yourself. You decided not to plan anything concrete with her, and you didn't say goodbye to her before she left. She's kind of a hard person to deal with, and if she makes you unhappy then you shouldn't have to be with her. However, you find a new girlfriend instantly and then you completely changed and took over her old apartment? Couldn't you have given her any head's up? That's a mean thing to do to someone you were in a pretty serious relationship with. You are usually the winner in my book, but this week you are a loooser Adam! 

Girls is the beeest,

Weekly GIRLS.

The 4th season is here, and the small hole in my heart has been filled again. Sundays nights just aren't the same without Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shosh. I'm one episode behind I knooow. I do have a day job and everything but no worries, I'll catch up :).

S4| E1: SSS: The scandalous, scariest, and saddest scenes.

Scandalous Scene: 
One of the best things about Girls is the editing, the transitions are flawless and perfectly timed. I was glad to be watching this one alone, since OUT OF NOWHERE Marnie's behind is being worshipped by Desi. Not many films/shows (except maybe for Looking) pay too much homage to the butt, so go GIRLS for...um....crossing that bridge.

Scariest Scene:

Shoshanna's mother is played by a comedic genius. Ana Gasteyer is terrifying. The fights between both of her parents are even worse. You see where Shoshanna gets her fast talking technique and her bitterness (After the beach episode she will always be the cruel drunk). Mel and Mel ( Nice touch Lena) are not characters I want to see again.

Saddest Scene: 

Hannah is ready for an amazing opportunity in Iowa. She's leaving everyone she loves behind, and it's affecting her main hangs more than she realizes. Adam is handling the move strangely but realistically. While Hannah wants to make a plan, Adam knows that he is shit on the phone and that the distance might get between them. It's just so sad when he pretends to be sleeping, and even more so, when Hannah lets him sleep. They don't say goodbye, but maybe it would have just been too hard?

Best Lines:

"To Hannah, taking the next step in a series of random steps." - Adam 

"They are like the laziest bulimics you have ever met." -Elijah

“Every time I meet someone five or more years younger than me, they are a complete asshole. Is it because you were told you were special one too many times and you believed it? Because when my generation and every generation before me were called special, we were smart enough to know it meant we were stupid, so it made us work that much harder to stop being stupid.” -Rickey

"You’re pussying out on this whole thing. The thing that we’re all trying to do, which is make it work regardless of location, right where we are.” - Jessa

Loser of the Week: Marnie
Oh, how I want to see Marnie  succeed but oh how I loathe her terrible decisions. Clearly, Marnie has a good voice but she will never have the guts to be a real star. Becoming a performer opens up the world of criticism and pretty much asks for pie-throwing. Marnie's hunger for perfection doesn't mesh with her decision to sing in public. Once again she is having an inappropriate affair. No one with self-respect would ever sleep with someone who is already in a relationship. Desi is an ass and Marnie is a bigger one. Losers. 
Come back soon, to see my take on Episode 2!

Ugh I love Girls so much,
