@avclub-14118b537d7c2887df052a1464f9385a:disqus Agreed. Everyone's insistance that the death imagery spelled out suicide for one of the characters made me wonder if they had confused the show with Grey's Anatomy.

@avclub-1898a4d76532f237d9b5c0592dfe71a9:disqus If attitudes like the ones I'm describing stopped at show business or message boards, maybe I'd be inclined to agree, but, in my experience, they do not.

I was totally on suicide watch for pretty much the entirety of this episode (the only thing sadder than SCDP getting Jaguar would have been SCDP not getting Jaguar, I guess) until those last five seconds. Thanks, MW for not completely ruining my day.

@avclub-1898a4d76532f237d9b5c0592dfe71a9:disqus  I guess what I fail to understand is why you need the right to keep reiterating that you don't like how Lena Dunham looks.

I like you guys!

@avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus  Even Jez's reviews have been unfair as fuck. They posted (no shit) an article about the diversity issue every day for the week after the show aired. No new content. Just reiterating the same "Dunham should have had a more diverse cast" over and over to draw out the…

The fact that Dunham's looks are an issue at all shows that these comments are rooted in misogyny. I'm sure not everyone would agree here, but I think that a lot of the comments that follow content about women like Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs come from this place as well.  (Not just "Gawsh, she sure is pretty"…

Thanks, Todd.

I fucking agree. It's great to know that as a young woman, even if you achieve making a film that lands in the Criterion Collection and then become the showrunner of an HBO series that you write, direct, edit, and star in you still get to be reduced to being torn apart by some anonymous internet assholes, because you…

Or Detroit, where we have every single one of those things you listed.

She's an add-a-character with the express purpose of MOAR TITS. I think the ways that the show has deviated from the books (I've only read the first, hence my being in the newbies thread) have been excellent so far with the exception of her. Every scene she's in is squirm-inducing, whether it's because, as a straight…
