No Hannah realized they weren't meant for each other and he went back to Jessa.


Yes. That's what happened when she burst into tears in the booth in the restaurant.

Maybe he was enveloped by the dark side?

Hannah is such an unappealing character on every level. She's insanely self-absorbed and horrifyingly needy. I'm not going to judge Lena Dunham's body but I'd ask her why she feels compelled to write so much nudity for her character into the script because it certainly doesn't add anything to the narrative.

Totally disagree. I thought it was beautiful and completely captured having a baby/ growing up.

Agree, guess this was their way of having Hannah grow up.

I watched season one and one ep of season 2 and then i stopped and have not looked back. All of the unbathed bodies just bothered me and was too much of a distraction. There are other things for me to watch.

My husband commented that he wanted to turn the fire hose on all of them. They all looked like they needed a shower. Though he said--it's how he feels about Brooklyn in general.

Sex & The City was my generation. Much more comical.

Girls--I don't relate to at all. None of my friends were like these women post-college (we are in mid-late 40s now). We were never that aimless, that nit-picky and annoying. We just went out and partied---while working hard at careers.

Yup, you do sound and probably are shallow. Are you perfect? I doubt it.


I'm with her. She's a complete slob. No redeeming qualities at all.

And no, PP, you don't sound shallow. Just unafraid to say what you think

so funny, but I agree. To be that young and be out of shape is just unfathomable to me--and I don't particularly want to look at anyone who lets themselves look a doughy 45 year old when they're in their 20s. I'll forgive a gal a whole hell of lot after 40, though...esp if not too wrinkly. Stay out of the sun, young Shirleys!


Which sorority were you guys in?

As a white lady who graduated from a liberal arts college fifteen years ago, some of the things I've been thinking while watching the show.

1. My friends and I made equally bad choices and embarrassed ourselves in as many ways, but it didn't feel as bad at the time as this looks. I don't know what, if anything, that says about me.
2. It would seem more realistic if it was a little gayer and more multi-racial, and if there were more real problems mixed in with the fake problems, but maybe realism isn't what the writers are going for.
3. Shouldn't there be some kind of viable fourth wave feminism by now?


Very intriguing question. . .
