Interesting. I wonder if you've seen Enlightened, and if you have, what your thoughts on that show are. Some of the points you bring up here (no comedy, low-stakes drama), can be and have been directed toward the main character/writing on that show, and I've been thinking about it in relation to Girls for the past few…

I just re-watched the ending, and unless I'm mistaken, there's a part toward the end with a cameo by the showrunner, Craig Silverstein. He's the man with the glasses that Ryan is talking to when Birkhoff makes the Starship Enterprise comment and kisses Sonya.

I think the storytelling this week was the choppiest in the series so far. It's not a huge offense, but the pacing and fluency of the episode caught my attention here more than it did in The Revelation and in The Voice in the Night, which were two other episodes that probably had a bit too much plot for 22 minutes.

They really went for the sexy with Artemis' … wardrobe, didn't they?

RE plots that went nowhere: Miss Martian's crazy psychic powers from the episode where all the characters seemingly died seemed like it was going to become a Jean Grey/Phoenix thing, did it not? I don't understand why they'd dedicate an entire episode to establishing that she was so potentially dangerous, only to…

DEM FLASHBACKS, INDEED.

I agree with everything you wrote, completely. Plus, I thought some of the characters in the first season (I almost wrote "original season" to give you some idea of how different the show seems to me now) were a bit underdeveloped, like Zatanna, which makes me wish we could have spent more time with them.

I enjoy the show a lot, but sometimes I get really irked by it as well. Someone else commented how it's paced or structured kind of weird, and I agree — it almost seems like an anthology series sometimes, and sometimes like it's really, really serialized, which I think causes the plot and character develop to suffer.…

Yeah, that bit about telling a story in each fight was probably my favorite thing to read in this whole interview

Excited for the episode, but annoyed that the season is ending so early. And I will be very annoyed if it gets cancelled too, even though I don't believe it will.

Hot damn (see what I did there??) that was a great episode. Rock solid plot development and not a single wasted scene.

No nut sacks, but two dudes kiss briefly. Hypothesize his response and proceed.

Agreed about Rhaskos. I figured since he didn't really have an eight of the importance that Crixus & Oenomaus did that he'd definitely bite the dust, but goddammit if I didn't want him to pull through.

She and I have the same birthday, and I feel it important to share with you all for some reason.
