You really shouldn't take your limited set of experiences as the guidebook of all women's experiences or gender norms in today's world, Cindy in Texas. There are girls/women whose lives are ruined because they had the temerity of breaking up with a man who had a naked picture of them. Others are stalked; shamed, or

Umbrage will be taken.

Between the Adam/Jessa Fight, the single take Moth story, and Hannah and Tally confessing to each other, these two episodes had three of the strongest GIRLS scenes ever.

Apologizing sloppy writing because the character is ethnic is equally problematic.

…Kind of the point on that last one.

It almost feels like this is a level of assholery Jessa can't live with. She is used to being an awful person, but she also always knew that Hannah really cared about her. Even when she was malicious towards Hannah (introducing Adam to Mimi Rose (who I dearly miss, incidentally)) it was petty payback because she felt

Typically, you get her logic.

Man, this episode felt half-cooked. They hammered the Genovese metaphor so hard, but in the end it doesn't really shine through or accomplish anything interesting. I get it — Hannah finally pays attention and sees the thing that's been under her nose all this time, yeah, okay… except it wasn't really under her nose as

If we're doing this: "You're too narcissistic to kill yourself" is also what Hannah said of Marnie during her awkward dinner episode in season 2.

The AV CLUB:
You recoiled from my touch like I'm a monster!

Yeah, and you know GODDAMN why, you piece of—you know what, I'm not doing this. Bring in my double; I'll be in my trailer.

Wrong. Wrong, all of you. Cersei is just drunk. Gloriously, glorious drunk. At all time. That was some Tyrion-level drunk acting with Littlefinger.

She was a political marriage to solidify their claim to the North. It wasn't a Lannister-Tyrell celebration. I can buy that the Boltons of all people would expedite the ceremony before the battle, if only to sway any houses whose allegiance might be determined by the Stark name.

There's a tragedy to it that I can appreciate. Narrative-wise, it's the nail in Sansa's innocence.

Not to be a devil's advocate, but we knew this was the outcome the moment she was betrothed to Ramsay, didn't we?

It was a scene out of Xena. This is not the Dorne I was promised.

It has been drowned by the post-nuptial coverage but as far as I'm concerned, Sansa's defining moment this episode was her telling off Myranda.

How long could they play him as the absentee father to two small children? That would be a much deeper betrayal of the character.

Nobody gives broad shoulder like ST.

This actually feels a lot smoother and cleaner. Ramsay fucking with them feels a lot more natural than needing Reek (a non-entity at this point) to validate her Stark status.
