[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it was all mostly terrible, but I liked Lenny Bruce's speech to Midge on stage at Carnegie Hall.

Although, Midge saying no opening acts to the extent that she will turn down opening for Tony Bennett is just so absurd. Just beyond spoiled and entitled, you have to hate the character at that point. [/quote]

I think we're supposed to realize - when Midge realizes - that her turning this down is because she's still so shocked and battered by what happened with Shy Baldwin. That really threw her, and this whole season she's been sort of in denial about what happened - but has been making terrible choices because of it. Lenny's speech is supposed to force her to face what happened, and actually move on in a smart way.[/quote]

Of course. There is no deep analysis here. He directly says you take chances and risks and if they fail - you keep going. He was addressing her failure to go on- to not take risks. He explained how he’s loved and hated and how he still pushes forward. I liked the speech, too, but let’s be real. She saw him at his lowest point and helped. Him showing up at her club to watch her bit was not realistic. Neither was anything that happened thereafter as far as him seeking her out. He wouldn’t have done that. Druggies don’t seek out people who want to discuss their problems, esp those who are transient to their lives. [/quote]

He's her magic pixie dream comic. He's also much better looking than the real Lenny Bruce. Doesn't mean we can't appreciate him being the angel on her shoulder (and sometimes in bed).[/quote]
