To be fair, they’ve already tackled miscarriage AND abortion, so it kind of makes sense that now they would go to live birth (although they did do that already, too, with the Gaby Hoffmann plot line).

Lol — you really are ridiculous. There have been close to 10,000 deaths in Damascus alone due to the civil war over the years (way more than Raqqa at this point). The country as a whole is in general crisis, even in areas that are not Aleppo, in a way that ENGLAND is not. Do you get that? Why are you being so…

You’re being willfully dense here. First of all, all of those things WERE and ARE covered in the news — quite a bit, actually. What news sources are you reading/watching, anyhow?

Really? You don’t see the difference in news angles between an attack in perpetually war-torn Syria, as horrifying as that is, and one in a peaceful Western city?

For Chrissake, give it time — this JUST happened.

I agree with this — when something like this happens, it always seems, on this board, that many people are more upset about the fact that it will fit Trump’s narrative than that an event like this ACTUALLY OCCURRED. Life is not your own personal movie script, and it’s not always going to go the way you want it to,…

Pretty funny that this would be so powerful in 2017, when Jennifer Jason Leigh did that EXACT thing in Fast Times at Ridgemont High — in 1982.

Nahhh, that would be too heavy and dramatic for Girls. I think they’ll show Jessa moving on to her next prey and being just fine.

Well, I mean, the father of her kid is of Muslim Pakistani descent.

They did already have an abortion episode that seemed pretty “real” — when Mamie Rose pretty casually announced to Adam that she had aborted his kid, and he temporarily freaked out.

Ah, I see — yeah, this “shocking” plot twist was already telegraphed, sadly. Here she is with (I assume) the “step-in dada,” too:

She’s going to have the baby — a good year ago, that “news” broke when some Girls on-set/filming pics were published and Hannah had a big ol’ fake baby bump. It also seems relatively clear she’ll be back with Adam, at least from those pics that were taken.

I think a lot of viewers forget how horrible/borderline abusive/disgusting he was to Hannah in the first couple of seasons. Then they slowly turned him into some kind of occasional faux deep zen dude, but that was NOT who he was when the show began. (Also, let’s not forget that ridiculous “fight scene” with Jessa that…

Don’t all the kidz have the fry these days?

Look at her without the bottle-blonde hair. Do you really think she looks lily white? Lily white is someone like Reese Witherspoon — not Paris Jackson. Her skin is definitely coffee-toned. I think she looks biracial — so do his other kids.

You do realize Paris isn’t ACTUALLY a blonde, don’t you? She’s got the kind of blonde hair anyone with a good colorist can get. Her natural hair is pretty dark.

So would spawnlet never go to see a movie that stars an icky girl?

He is already campaigning for 2020. This isn’t actually so uncommon (all first-term presidents are basically campaigning for their second term from day one), but the overt way in which he does it is a bit extreme.

Aw, shite, I think I missed that one.

2017's notable deaths so far include Mary Tyler Moore, John Hurt, Richard Hatch, William Peter Blatty and Bill Paxton. Such is life (and death). No year takes a holiday.
