She clearly isn't taking her medication. That is her biggest problem right now. That would be her owning her situation. She's freaking out over the book and rather than taking her medication to help her deal with this anxiety and actually move forward in her life (which her father rightly points out in the beginning…

My "problem" is that when you listen to it enough times (and I think I've listened to it, like, seven times), it is so quick that you can start to make a case that it's just a mumbled "Hannah" that just SOUNDS like "Lena" but is actually "Hannah."

Ugh. Depressingly unsurprising.

Yeah, can you even imagine what this show would be like without the drama component? Yikes.

Round DOES make a lot more sense, but yeah, I heard "brown" also.

"Yes, that final song was by Fun. (Are they lower-case?) Yes, Lena Dunham is dating the guy from Fun. Who cares?"

Fair enough. I meant it less in terms of them getting together (which yes, if they got back together it wouldn't be inherently bad) as much as it goes along exactly with what Hannah's father tells her she always does. Adam coming over to "save" her doesn't solve any of her problems, it just puts them off, which is…

Quick question for those of you who still have this on their DVRs and can go back and check. When Adam says (while pounding on the door), "Hannah, open the fucking door" (after first telling her "Hannah, get the door") it almost sounds to me like he says "Lena, open the fucking door." Anyone else hear that?

Similarly, I liked the Marnie/Charlie scene if only because it seemed like such a case of, "Oh wow, these two people are being so stupid here." Charlie never wanted to break up in the first place, right? Meanwhile, Marnie's spiraling so much that she thinks picking it back up with Charlie (which reminds her of when…

Like I just mentioned, I, too, was reading it as a joke (the soaring music and all there just to highlight the fact that this is a romantic moment that SHOULDN'T happen) but yeah, I certainly can't say that that might just be wishful thinking on my part.

I saw the final Adam/Hannah scene as almost an inversion of the classic romantic comedy ending, in the sense that while they might very well end up together, his heroically coming to her rescue was specifically NOT the right thing for either character (it ruins his healthy relationship and keeps Hannah from actually…

What helped ER immensely was just getting Noah Wylie off of the show. It is no knock on Wylie himself, as I think he is a good actor and I even think that John Carter was a good character. The problem was that they had run out of things to do with him and yet since he was their star, they couldn't move forward with…

While I definitely agree that Season 7 was leaps and bounds better than Season 6, I think that the show was so different that it basically wasn't even a matter of a show recovering in the sense that it didn't actually recover, it just became a different show. Something that they made official by making Boston Legal.

I have fond memories of S3 if only for the awesome scene where Earl berates the warden for trying to have them work a green theme into their prison show. Watching Greg Garcia through the mouthpiece of Earl Hickey directly address the absurdity of NBC's Green Week was hilarious and much appreciated in the demonstration…

Part of what made it so good, though, was that since we knew it was definitely going to be the show's final season, they were able to book Laura Linney for most of the season and whenever you can add Laura Linney to your show, you're in for quite a treat and she was, indeed, excellent. She and Grammer had excellent…

Oh yeah, it is pretty certain that the timing was no accident. Here's the question, though, was it timed this way because she knew that the OCD episode was coming up or was it timed this way because she knew that the OCD episode was coming up and people were going to be questioning her on how "out of nowhere" it was,…

I believe Marnie mentioned Hannah used to have to masturbate 8 times for some weird reason in the first season. So that's something!

Apatow actually TRIED to get Segel for 40-Year-Old Virgin but he couldn't get Segel approved. That's how bad his career was at the time. Luckily, he did get How I Met Your Mother soon after.

Melissa Leo did a notable guest appearance in a Season Five episode of Miami Vice (it was one of the first episodes after the insanity of Sonny Crockett getting amnesia and believing that he was his criminal alter ego Sonny Burnett).

It is not even that I miss him or anything, but holy crap, how can Ed Helms still not be back!? This is insane!
