I've had ADHD since I was in elementary school and I since I still take medication for it, it's controlled, but I am very guarded about who I reveal that fact to IRL. I'm observant, and a lot of the feedback I've gotten, both subtle and overt, is that a lot of people aren't very comfortable knowing that. My feeling

Right? It's obviously referring to multiples.

+1 for Charlie sucks. I've pretty much felt that way from the beginning. He's a whiny baby. Marnie is my least favorite girl on the show, but she still should not waste her energy on that guy. Or, maybe they deserve each other, idk, she's annoying too.

Wow, what a surprise that someone on the AV Club sympathizes with/likes the male  characters the most, ironically on a show called Girls. That's par for the course here.

I enjoyed this immensely. I really think Portlandia got stronger in its 3rd season as well. Good to know, since I was kind of worried, along with others, whether the show would continue to have places to go. But it's really built a cool little world within the reality of Portland, and I really have fun visiting it. I

Are you talking about the guy from the embassy, Vasilli or whatever? With the glasses, b.j. receiver? He's not a handler, nor a spy, he's an official. He doesn't have to look surreptitious or blend-in. I did think it was funny for a second that Claudia was wearing a babushka-like scarf on her head, though, lol.

She really is beautiful, though (like, really, I usually hate skinny brows, but on her, with that hair, she looks like a 70's movie star, I love it), and also she needs to be rescued. I can see it.

Yeah, during the scene where his wife is trying to get him to relate to her, I was thinking, she's beautiful, and sweet, and funny, and most of all seem so normal, and I kept looking at Stan and trying to figure out if he just wasn't in love with her anymore. It wouldn't be surprising, given the extreme separateness

You sound like a real asshole. Sorry about that.

Ugh, whenever someone uses "P.C." as a derogatory in 2013, it really means, "I'm pissed I can't just go around saying racially insensitive things and not get called on it anymore!"

Yep, I totally get it. And we've all just illustrated why this show has such a hold over so many people, even when they profess not to like it, because all these characters are so familiar to types of people we've known, and ourselves.
There are certain things about Marnie I can relate to- the need to always have some

This episode shows why anyone that thinks Jessa is the worst just doesn't get it. Jemima Kirke is one of the better actresses on the show, so that helps. But her scene on the swings with her dad- when he tried to hold her as responsible for the way she acted in their relationship, I thought the words she said "I'm the

Yes, because that's the only thing about that whole comment that was possibly racist, genius. You really should question the caliber of people you leap to defend, dear, lest you find yourself lumped in with them. Food for thought.

Well, there's the key word right there: happy. You're happy, they're happy, there's no need for one-upmanship or pretending your life is something that it isn't. But Hanna and Marnie aren't happy, they're insecure and miserable, and they aren't close enough with each other anymore to share the hard things they're

How are they not, is my instant reaction to that. At first I thought maybe it's a girl thing, but I know it's not, I know guy friends that have had to keep up pretenses to not look like they aren't doing as well as their friends. Really, it's in the same vein as sibling rivalries- the people who know you best know

Well, at least the message they're sending is correct on that score. I like Girls and I'd never watch it again if I had to choose between it and Louie. Louie's been the better show out the gate.

I've started thinking more and more, what with the inclusion and fleshing out of a great character like Ray, or even the lonely lost doctor last week, that the stories of people struggling to find themselves transcends the age of the girls. Ray's 33 and the doctor was like 40 something, and neither of them have any

Don't take the bait. Just ignore it like you'd ignore any other nonsense that a person who says things like that would say. Their opinions are for a party of one.

No way. Marnie is the absolute worst. I spent the whole episode hating everything she did and when she got hit with reality I smirked at her fake tears. And I know we're supposed to feel sorry for her at the end with Hanna, and their present relationship is so uncomfortably familiar that you can't not, but it's hard
