Fair enough. Having slept on it, I can see how her caricature might be useful later on. I just got frustrated that her choice was to go so goofy. Not just playing up feeble, but acting full on incompetent. Surely Deanna would see through that, since there's no way Carol would have lived this long if she was that frail.

How was he self-absorbed in this episode? He's defensive and angry, but I don't see the petulance.

Perhaps - but if the two people with consciences were around still, would we have Rick admitting he's harboring thoughts of conquest?

It was also a nice bit of camera work. Rick as the middle lie between Carol's absolute farce and Daryl's absolute rebellion

Sad to see him pick up that gleam in his eye.

Second note: Carol does that whole "boy this gun is sure heavy!" bit with her assault riffle, and that administrative assistant rolled her eyes. Gah I don't even know why that bothered me - they both bothered me! Eye rolling and gee-shucks-ing - both!

This would be a poor episode for that. From the moment Hannah shows up he gets the audience sympathy. Then he gets picked on in the taxi.

He got impeached from the student society? That's hardcore. He must have bought pizza parties for every club.

Yes, but there was a quick line in this episode where she says she couldn't work in the inner city because she needed a license.

I can't believe you're still using language like "faults." I mean, it's such an archaic concept indicative of a society incapable of appreciating truly free-flowing communal genital sharing.

This review brings better questions than the actual episode! I like the idea of identifying where creativity lies, and the laundromat scene had some real creative fears addressed, which was nice.

Carol! I know she's trying to game the system to root out weakness, but that lying confessional was…I can't tell if I was upset or impressed. I think I'm going to go with more upset - not that she had to confess to her life then and there, but the sheer volume of her lie was sickening.

Love Mary Wollstonecraft, but I doubt she was a top author back then. There weren't a whole lot of women's study majors to want such texts either.

I always thought that's how gravity made us all look!

Well I mean Fagin was always more selfish than truly evil. Selfish is easier to cheat towards good than, say, homicidal.

Take it back - Katrina should have been crazy upon arrival. She should have tried really hard to fit in, and modernity should have driven her slowly mad. It would have been a fun unraveling.

Zombees, specifically.

Thanks - I thought that was just me. I sympathize with Marnie more often than not.

You will be justified if she actually grows/changes/matures. The direction she goes will be determined next week.

It's a quick turnaround emotionally for me. I am normally not sympathetic to Hannah, to the point that Jessa's cruelty made a modicum of sense (note: NOT the setting up of Adam and Mimi-Rose, but the idea that Hannah left and what were they supposed to do?) until she once again proved awful. And I was glad that…
