    HAHA…oh to be a fly on the wall of the writers' room.

    Or "we want Adam to call Jessa a f-ing rainbow, forget everything we know about these characters…"

    I don't think he was rude or hurtful. We will just have to agree to disagree.

    I think it was a good thing, because it seemed real.

    It's just a factor of growing up that you learn to try be aware of what the other person is going through and make attempts to temper your own petty needs at times. She never once asked how he was feeling and that particular moment was about him and his family.

    I feel that we have been shown she may be an effective teacher (most of the time) with the students in terms of getting them to think (and learn?), but completely unprofessional in most every other way.

    This scene was the first time this season that these characters seemed like the people we have watched for four seasons.

    Helping him by complaining about the heat and Hannah while he was dealing with a baby and the fact that his possibly suicidal sister had disappeared.

    Yes, he did say Whalers. And no, he didn't think about it enough. Although since he was there when she left (assuming the baby wasn't left there alone) it sort of makes sense that he might not thing about looking for a note until someone else brought it up. He is sort of spacy.

    Adam is blunt. Always has been.

    I think they are both to blame for continuing the relationship when they had some pretty serious compatibility issues. He probably stayed because to him that's what nice guys do. And she stayed because who breaks up with a nice guy?

    I think that may be part of what they are getting at. She talked a lot about wanting to get pregnant, too. Back in S1 talking about all the babies she wanted and then again with Ace. Between this episode and the preview for next week it seems like maybe she will confront that the reality of babies is not what she

    I think it was exploring the dynamic of what people do when everyone in their life thinks someone is "so good for them." She clearly felt that being with someone "nice" and "normal" was part of growing up. Her own mother and friends kept emphasizing it to her as well.

    It sounded like things on the fridge frequently fell off and got kicked out of sight in their apartment. I don't think Laird was supposed to be funny.

    It's not even just a consideration for your friend, this show is doing a good job of showing why most people have sort of a built in aversion to this type of dating. You end up with three people in the relationship because the person through which you met is always sort of there.

    This is a common theme with these characters. It is like a nuanced extreme version of selfishness…it is more like complete lack of situational awareness. It's like they barely register that other people exist at times.

    I didn't find it extreme for the character at all. This is Adam we're talking about.

    I think "giggling" is a mischaracterization. It seemed more like a "are you kidding me?" disbelief reaction. Still not exactly appropriate, but that's Hannah.

    I thought it was spot on for both the character Adam as we had known him prior to this season and as to the situation in this episode.

    Why am I just now realizing three of the girls are only children?
