But hey, at least Jughead can learn choreography and harmonies five seconds before performing in a show he didn’t know he was in!

She’s seriously, even on a wildly erratic show, the worst-written and most inconsistent nonsense character.

It’s certainly feasible that the show has evolved over the years just to keep it fresh, plus it’s pretty hard to actually go and see everything. But some of it did seem odd. And no, even though plenty of interactive and crazy stuff happens, it still is rooted in MacBeth so the Abbi/Ilana confrontation would not…

Yeah, the “I’m DONE with New York” line made my heart hurt. In large part because of how often I’ve heard it. I would’ve been happier with her saying she was going to try something else for a while and see if it sticks but not permanently rule out a return. But maybe she was just trying to avoid giving Ilana false…

Sam, just because you love the D doesn’t mean you can’t also love the V!

I knew she was going to be in the episode but it STILL took me a minute or two to realize it was her. She’s had quite a bit of work done, I see. GOOD work, I have to admit, but she’s tough to recognize.

Listen, I feel the same way about the city that you do but I also recognize that not everyone does. People who don’t like it definitely SHOULD leave, we don’t want people here who are miserable to be here! 

This was the first episode where I actually identified with Ilana! Being a person who actually STAYS in NYC after one’s twenties is a particular painful thing because in general, all your friends leave and you realize that for a shit-ton of people, moving to New York is a thing they always mean to be temporary, a…

She’s not a student, she’s an artist going to a residency. There are massive artists’ residencies in more remote places all over the country on purpose, there’s nothing really comparable in the city. Plus in the city, it’s a MILLION times more competitive. She went to the residency she got, and also wanted a major…

I’m VERY interested in what Abbi Jacobson does next, writing-wise. Acting I’m not so sure.

Somehow I missed the orgy and most of what they saw at Sleep No More. I did see the candy shop, though!

No.

Drives me nuts. I pathetically pay for like 6 streaming services AND full cable. There shouldn’t be a damn show left that I can’t see! 

Yep. I fully understand that Netflix is not a nonprofit and their output actually needs to make money, so they are going to cancel quality programming with low viewership. But their gross tweets acting like they’re so committed to “telling these stories” are silly and disingenuous.

Well, as I am intimately familiar with clinical depression, I just struggle to see how the heavy drinking has never even led to a day of that horrific withdrawal/depression combo. So yes, I understand that a real person would be dealing with it all the time and we wouldn’t see it outwardly, she’s not a real person and…

I just can’t even remember them being together at ALL this season. But seasons may be blurring together.

Dear lord Archie owns a gym, now we’re guaranteed completely insufferable boxing scenes in EVERY episode. So awful.

It was a real gut punch when Jughead toasted to 50 years “and here’s to 50 more” just as they cut to Fred clapping.

Honestly I was surprised they brought her depression back because even though I find her hateful and exhausting, they really hadn’t shown her in an outright depressive state since Season 2 (and no, her general “worst”ness does not read as depression if that’s what it’s meant to be), and it rang very false to me that…

You may not have liked the joke, but it remained a joke for her entire arc.
