Oh, she's definitely highly insecure, and that's where I can feel sympathy for her, because I realize that all her bullshit stems from that. But the way she talked shit to Charlie's ex was super passive-aggressive, coating snide comments in a veneer of niceness, which just goes along with how she operates. And it took…

Yeah, sorry. That was probably too mean for what the comment warranted. Retracted.

I found this episode of television extremely hard to watch. I didn't dislike it, because I don't automatically dislike unpleasant art (I can't imagine if I did; I wouldn't have a lot to experience), but it really bummed me out for a little while. However, something surprising: pretty much every week I can't keep from…

I guess it's because it seems like this place predominantly attracts intelligent people and discussion, but it's still a little surprising when someone shows up that you could find in the comments of like, youtube or yahoo news. I shouldn't be, since it's the internet, but we usually have a higher caliber of people…

Wow, I am counting at least three people in this thread alone who do not grasp rape/sexual assault as a concept in the slightest, and thereby perpetuate the rape culture that is so prevalent in our society. And what do you know, they're all dudes. Shocker! *Sigh*

I don't blame her for that, since she was trying to get money to her family to help out with what were almost certainly dire existences. She got out- as much as she could, she's living and working in America- and she's using that to give back to her people. I'd bet she has no overwhelming loyalties to the USSR and why…

Yeah. And I also kept thinking that if the FBI acts as stupidly with the info that Nina gives them (assuming she'll still be doing that) as they did in the last episode, the Russians are going to quickly figure out they still have a mole and look even harder. I mean, Stan can't keep taking out the whole embassy one by…

I'm actually feeling more invested in Elizabeth and Phillip's  relationship a a couple. I find their personal interactions really interesting because of how fraught and weighted they are. There was such a huge blow this episode to anything they may have been trying to build, and I can't wait to see where they move to…

Seconded! Super informative and fascinating.

Claudia can't really talk right now since she just had her face bashed in by a 100 lb. woman who'd just been semi-tortured. KGB pussies!

I didn't figure out that they were KGB either. I knew they weren't FBI because Stan and his boss weren't involved in any way. But I actually had them pegged as like outside contractors or something. I obviously didn't think it through (there wan't even time) but my mind never went to Mafia, I think I was vaguely…

That was like the first thing I thought about after that scene, like, holy shit, how is that going to be okay, that she just beat the shit out of her handler? How is that relationship ever going to be able to go back to normal? I felt like they could be in serious trouble. At the least, you'd think they'd have to have…

@avclub-d7b683529752a4d24d84c4941861a363:disqus No, don't apologize, that was really interesting and informative, thanks.

Don't do it! You'll get hounded out to the darkest, creepiest corners of the internet, where everyone looks like those creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean. No one wants that. *shudder*

Flagged for calling being gay a choice. (Kidding, trying to fit in with the AV Cool Club!)

Well, I don't think Hannah is fat, and I never used the word anorexic for Marnie, but is she (Allison Williams, I mean)? I get it you guys, I've been to Jezebel, I understand about not body-snarking. But, and I have said this before, I also am familiar with eating disorders- my sister was/still struggles with…

It's fucking scary, yo, for real.

It just gets typical and tiresome sometimes, because it's not just this show. All that tells me is we need more girls here! Brb, gonna go hang some flyers over at the girl parts of the internet.

I don't want to belabor this point too much, for fear of sounding like a broken record every week, but I can not EVEN with Marnie. I dread her being on-screen; I feel like I'm going to start twitching like Hannah when she's around. She pushes every averse button I have, and I know it's because I've had the displeasure…
