There was no indicator that he was trying to make out with her in a closet until they were making out in a closet. That could have just as easily ended in a dinner invitation, but that doesn't serve the plot with 2 episodes left (Shoshanna would have turned him down. boom.).

Can we just unpack the fact that the heroin-junkie, coke-selling, following Hanna around the drugstore, apparently fixated on Hanna and Marnie guy was not percieved by this group as rapey, but an attractive, fairly charming, polite doorman was?

Not really— the timeline and the scale of the office are out of whack, but not by much (say 6 months and 4-5 people), but I know a guy who graduated 4 years ago who was doing this 2, 2.5 years ago

No, I think the people who watch this show tend not to be the type of people who were amongst the "successful seeming but haven't actually done anything outstanding" crowd in college. You know the people I mean— they have coffee with a professor twice (before that's a thing) and they dress like a recent grad as a…

Another girl weighing in… isn't the answer to this none of them?

Ray is only the most sympathetic character because you see yourself in him.

allllll the Paradise Lost films

I would describe myself as someone who until 3 months ago, couldn't fucking stand Michael Moore, but who really loves documentaries (I also wouldn't describe myself as a he).

You know what I'd watch?

Yeah, not sure why they've taken the character in this direction if they didn't have a kid who could deliver— particularly when they've shown off Luke they way they have.

Also, as we're all aware, Modern Family chronicles these family's lives in the moment-to-moment— obviously never focusing in on particularly poignant,  hectic, or interesting moments in the clan's existence.

Or torrent some shit like a grown-up internet person..
