Eh, I don't know. The show is boring more often than not and it constantly relegates its most interesting ideas and characters to the side. I'll agree that it's well crafted, but it's miles behind Enlightened, which gave you someone and something to root for and ultimately had a huge emotional pay-off.

I actually think Liedman's "brother" line was spot-on and hilarious and it really made me think of this:

Porn Pantry Now Dot Com. My go-to as well.

I'm on the fence about this episode. On the one hand it's irritating to see Hannah snap her fingers and get a teaching job when she's failed at so many simpler things before, and then ruin everything with beautiful Fran, and I agree that the show seems to be sorely lacking any actual female friendship by now. On the…

Casting Directors Rule Hollywood

RACISM.

I need a show called Dom & Doris and no supporting characters are allowed in for more than 3 minutes per episode.

I agree that this episode was a bit all over the place and that having it focus on the two male supporting characters seems a bit inconsequential in the overall Hannah story.

I like how Marnie and Whatshisname never have sex in a bed.

Now I'm thinking that a movie where Edward falls in love with an 87-year-old Bella Swan because she's wise and knowledgeable could be pretty fun.

Didn't Atwell say in an interview somewhere that she thought the show could explore the entire period between WW2 and current day/Cap's return from season to season if it got picked up?

Stunts, casting, and music supervision are really the most glaring ones here. The rest are mostly extensions of already existing categories that might need to be broadened a little.

I like the Richie-Patrick stuff as much as anybody, but some of their "re-bonding" dialogue in here was really stilted. Not sure if it was the acting, the writing, or if those scenes just needed a couple more rehearsals to ease the actors into their lines, but it was bad.

Welcome to what everybody else has been saying in the last seven hundred comments on here!

Maybe you should just look for themes and genres that you enjoy in good old fashioned 'adult' literature then. After all, as people have said here, 'YA' as a genre or label is little more than a marketing ploy.

Try His Dark Materials? The protagonist is a bit younger but it's much, much better written, and far more evocative, than a lot of the stuff that comes up in this conversation.

Right. But I'm prepared to be disappointed.

I wouldn't call it great but I would say that it's been better received than some other YA stuff on the basis of being a personal, human story that deals with "issues" more relevant than romantic and power fantasies.

Seems like you're attributing way too much weight to Looking For Alaska, which is absolutely too small to be defining the genre (or the mainstream conversation around it). I love John Green and he's been famous with (and fervently followed by) YouTubers & Harry Potter fans (and, I assume, some critics) for a long…

I liked this episode but I'm not sure it was the revelatory, pivotal moment for Hannah I was hoping for.
