I know! Thank goodness that Friends, and How I Met Your Mother, and Seinfeld all exist to show us what the REAL New York is like.

Not a chance - he's got all the greasy charm of a Kennedy.

Do teenage boys not do this regularly too?

Meh, I dunno. Maybe he's got a smokin' hot significant other. Maybe they enjoy their great, monogamous sex life and never think about other people at all. Or maybe they don't. Doesn't really matter to me either way - horses for courses and all.

"Being in a long term relationship", "being happy" and "sleeping with a variety of people" aren't a mutually exclusive trio.

''Being sex positive is fine, as long as it's only things I agree with."

Yeah guys! You know all those Hollywood quotas.

It's impossible to overstate how bad Nicki Reed was. Like a hot girl who
gets cast as Juliet in a high school theater class. Hearing someone
attempt sexy voice yet somehow maintain a dull monotone is, at least,
somewhat impressive?

You know you could fall in love with someone who has an STD, right?

Upvoted for nostalgic hometown hangover reasons.

Noooooo please don't turn 'lampshade' into another overused/often misused AV Club term! I can't deal with another 'showrunner' or 'oral history'.

I thought it was just an excuse for viewers and recappers to let everyone know that they're aware of the term 'Bechdel test'?

It can be quite fun - especially when you've been seeing someone for awhile, so tend to either have sex when together, or masturbate when alone. It's nice sometimes to switch it up with mutual masturbation. But of course, it's not everyone's thing.

"Paraphrashing" sounds like something you may need to see a doctor about…

A lot of the time, it's the clothes, which I think is amazing. I know for a fact I'll transpose in my mind outfits I've worn to different occasions. And the way that, for example, Helen always looks impossibly elegant and a bit haughty in Allison's memory, whilst she tends to look haggard and dull in Noah's is…

He does look to be the only person who won't have permanent mope-face on, however, what the fuck is up with that wig.

Which I don't really understand. Nothing about the trailers released so far show anything that I wouldn't have precisely imagined from the words 'Ben Affleck as Batman'. What were people expecting? And how is this better than that?

To be honest, I was actually cringing due to it vividly reminding me of clumsy sex in uni. I think maybe I'm not the only woman who has had an experience that I would imagine looking exactly like that one - oblivious guy on top, spouting really un-sexy porny dirty talk, whilst I contemplated exactly what colour the…

He's always the hero when he needs to be, and often the victim when he has to be. After seeing a screener of next week's episode, I think it's interesting that the other three main characters often have a more realistic view of themselves and others. Noah dials everyone and everything up to 11.

Ha, yeah, that is a pretty great expression.
