Oh ok, that makes sense. I agree that they have chemistry but that the storyline kind of sucks.

Nope! I love them together. I think he's the perfect guy for her because he's not controlling but also won't take her shit. He also seems to just think she's awesome and enjoy her for who she is. I've always thought the writers were going to make them end-game. We'll see what next season holds.

This was an overall fantastic season—in my opinion the best yet. I felt like Andrew Rannells really stole the show in his scene with that douchey reporter. That was excellent acting and a highlight of the episode for me. I've always found him to be very funny but never found him to be someone I actually liked until…

"There's no way they can pass off her shenanigans as cutesy eccentricity."

"Also speaking of charlie can I just watch a show about him? Ever since that episode it's just been a grouping of storylines I don't care about"

I definitely think they're trying to put Hannah and Adam back together, which is my problem with this show sometimes. I've read just about everywhere that Hannah is purposely written the way she is so that viewers dislike/hate her, but the writing often favors her in ways that do not make sense. I find it hard to…

Desi is a jerk off. His character reminded me very much of my exboyfriend, who divided his time between having insanely possessive/needy/insecure outbursts and being verbally abusive and telling me how bad my life was going to be and how terrible I am. That's just classic verbally abusive, manipulative asshole…

Charlie asking Marnie if the last few years could be written off as a bad dream became especially emotional and sad when the show finally came together for me when she found his needle and he was seemingly high lying in bed. I'm not 100% sure if he had shot up while she was in the shower, but his movement when she…

Great name. Love Vonnegut.

I tend to agree with you about his weight gain, but I'm not entirely sure. Sometimes long-term users gain weight, despite the stereotype that all heroin users are thin. It looked like they were trying to say that he had a full-on addiction and was in a really bad, scary place in his life at the moment, so maybe the…

Sorry, I misinterpreted what you wrote. I remember reading Abbott's interviews after he left the show and he bashed the show quite a bit, so I thought you were referring to this. At the time, I remember thinking to myself, "this guy just committed career suicide" but after seeing his other work, I now understand why…

I don't remember any of those things, but I'm glad that you do because that definitely provides more incite to the storyline. I'm loving Lena's writing and this season.

I was actually thinking since he kept going to the bathroom that he did coke also. Wouldn't heroin put him out? The needle shows he's an IV user and there's no way he was shooting up in bathrooms and walking around with Marnie. I assumed he was snorting coke, and that he does both, which is not all that uncommon.

But why does it have to make him "smug/self-serious" if he didn't want to end up typecast as the sappy, puppy love pushover? I think that Abbott's decision to leave the show not only was best for his career, but also helped the show move along in an area where it likely would have stagnated. If he didn't leave the…

Completely agree! Excellent writing this season.

" I've always assumed Chris Abbott was that 'one male actor' who complained he had to work under a woman seasons ago which led to his departure"

Oh wow! Looking forward to seeing Lena on the "Inside the Episode" when I rewatch. This episode gutted me. So relatable.

I actually thought this was the best episode of this show this entire season.

These are all really thought-provoking ideas as to what led to Charlie's downward spiral, but I personally assumed that he was simply lost, just as Marnie is. Charlie and Marnie both fell apart when their relationship ended. If I'm not mistaken, they mentioned in previous seasons that they had been together for years…

I was dreading an episode that focused entirely on Marnie, but it ended up making me love this show more and relate more to her character than any of the other girls. That is amazing writing. This episode was so incredible! In my personal opinion it is the best episode of the entire series. I have an entirely new…
