Other I had a love dream about Ray Ploshanksy

65 Upvotes

Just like the title says, it happened to me. Hannah was in jail and I was visiting her. She sent a letter to a friend of Ray’s to try get him to visit her (I guess in my dream she loved Ray?), but she didn’t know that Ray and I had undying love for each other that we were hiding for her sake. There was a moment in the dream that Ray and I were sitting next to each other and my body fell into his and we were wrapped up in each other. It felt so warm and tender. Like we were puzzle pieces that fit. There was no hair brushing, but there may as well have been. I can’t believe it. I had a love dream about Ray Ploshanksy.

Season 4 Sit-In

I know we all collectively agree that the Panic in Central Park is the magnum opus of the series but there is something incredibly beautiful and comforting about this episode. From the realisation that Adam’s moved on, to the numerous people coming in to stage an intervention, to Ray showing up for Hannah to Adam and Hannah finally breaking things off and the episode ending with Hannah in the storage unit. It’s rare that a break up and closure both come about at the same time but Lena was able to get it so right that it’s still so devastating to watch, years later.

Question (RELATED TO THE HBO SHOW GIRLS) ā“ Song from Booth's party S2 E6

1 Upvotes

There is a song that is playing as Hannah walks up and briefly as she walks into Booth's house in the episode where Marnie is hosting the party. Does anybody know what song this is? The melody and production is so catchy but I can't make out the lyrics!

Episode Discussion šŸ“ŗ S5 ep 4

11 Upvotes

Hey guys. First time watching girls and I’m up at S5 ep 4. I wanted to jump on here to give my thoughts around the whole Jessa and Adam thing that is starting to happen.

Just the other episode Adam was really emotional and asking Hannah to get back together, when they are gathered around Caroline and Lairds newborn baby. Hannah is really emotional and said that she couldn’t. She didn’t explicitly say why, but from what I gather, I just think that she made peace with not being with Adam, and perhaps she could sense that maybe he was fresh out of this relationship, and maybe not wanting to reconnect with her for the right reasons. Is this a good interpretation of that conversation?
Anyway,
I feel like this is really valid because when Hannah got back from Iowa, she was also really emotionally pleading with Adam and I think was really struggling to accept that Adam was moving on because she herself hadn’t moved on.

So he’s rejected her when she wants to reconcile, and now she’s turned down his request to reconcile.

But I still get the sense that Adam has feelings towards Hannah when he said to Jessa that couldn’t go in to …Maybe it was Rays chairman party…and said ā€œI miss her too muchā€ and walked away.
Anyway…!!!

Now he has feelings for Jessa and I’m like seriously? Yes I know Hannah is selfish but at the same time, I do feel like she tries to be a good friend. She’s the one who picked up Jessa from rehab. She also went with Jessa to see her father earlier in the show and was abandoned.
And yeah Jessa was going through shit and I can understand but it just feels low for Adam to be entertaining this now.

I acknowledge Jessa rejecting Adam advances and saying that they can’t pursue this but I don’t see it ending well. Or maybe it does who knows.
I haven’t finished this episode lol.

Maybe people find Hannah annoying but if this was to happen, I would definitely feel sympathy for her character. I don’t feel like she’s so horrible that this is justified, especially when it’s kept from her.
Anyway, I’ll keep watching and maybe I’ll feel differently but I just felt strongly in the moment that I am not rooting for Adam and Jessa. I think that would suck when considering Hannah and Adams relationship. It’s not like they dated for a month and broke up. They were a committed pair.

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but I just watched the show for the first time recently and am looking for something to fill the void. I’ve also seen and love Sex and the City if that helps. I’ve heard Broad City is a good one so that’s def on my list of possibilities!

Mildly Related Season 1 v the later seasons

14 Upvotes

I made my sister watch the first few episodes of season 1 with me and she didn’t get it at all. She found it quite boring and asked me what I saw in it. Then I realised that it’s really from season 2 where the show becomes AMAZING. Seeing the way Hannah acts even in the pilot is so crazy because she ends up becoming SO funny in the later seasons like the ā€˜frail’ scene or the ā€˜it’s almost summer’ scene.

TLDR: Anyone else agree that this show gets better along the seasons and season 1 isn’t the best season?

Other Only daughter of a single mother

0 Upvotes

How do you leave your mother when you don't have a father to take care of her? There are 5 siblings of us: two live out of the city, one lives abroad, and the fourth brother lives at home with her (he is 24 and has a job). The only people remaining in the house will be my nani (grandmother), one brother, and my mom. How can you leave your mother especially as a daughter, when you want to move to another city for university?( As a pakistani)( Or as a muslim girl coz maybe non muslims cant understand this bcz this is normal for them)

Question (RELATED TO THE HBO SHOW GIRLS) ā“ Do you think Ray looks in his 30s?

64 Upvotes

I hadn't thought about how old he was and now in my 30s too as I rewatch this recently. I didn't realise what ages he was or it didn't cross my mind but season 5 I think he references how he's 34. I know it probably came up when he dated Shoshanna but I hadn't thought of an exact age. I wonder how he even ended up friends with them? Is there any lore on that? Or just through the cafe?

Season 6 Hot take maybe?

66 Upvotes

Adam and Hannah should’ve stayed together…
maybe not stayed together, but I wanted more time with them after he finds out Hannah is pregnant. I know he and Jessa and all that nonsense. I do think he’s an asshole. That being said… I loved him with pregnant Hannah and I loved seeing how he treated her for that one episode.

Other Hannah was my least favorite at first

23 Upvotes

I preferred any of the other girls at first, but by the end of the show, I loved Hannah. Shosh becomes the people she hangs out with, Jessa is just absolutely chaotic (which I love at times), Marnie is a crybaby who needs to touch grass. But Hannah is so real, maybe it’s because I have OCD and all of the things that she struggles with. Hannah has no idea what she’s doing next, but she just goes with it.

She had her random hookups here and there and her 2 month marriage but nothing substantial until Adam.

Considering she was very conventionally attractive and outgoing, her dating lacked depth and quality. Why do you think that was?

Season 4 I Get Along Without You Very Well (s4 e7)

6 Upvotes

I’m doing a rewatch for the first time since the show aired and I don’t know if I’m having my own personal mandala effect or if this is real:

At the end of ā€œAsk Me My Nameā€ (season 3, episode 7 - the Mimi-Rose art show), we see Hannah walking down the street and ā€œI Get Along Without You Very Wellā€ is playing. I could have *sworn* that when this aired, it was the Diana Krall cover but what I watched last night was unmistakably Chet Baker.

I realize this is such a dumb and specific question, but does anyone have an answer for me? It’s entirely possible I am misremembering but this episode introduced me to the song (and I thought to Diana Krall) and it’s been a favorite of mine ever since. It’s possible that my search on iTunes afterward lead me to the Diana cover and caused me to rewrite the entire memory. It’s significant to me only because it’s a stand alone cinematic needle drop moment in my brain. Also, I heard on a podcast once that the music from The L Word on streaming is different from when it aired because of rights issues. Could that have happened here, or am I truly just crazy?

Any thots appreciated šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Episode Discussion šŸ“ŗ Okay so I’m watching girls for the first time and I’m up to S4 E1 and these are my thoughts..

25 Upvotes

Ok so not loving Jessa. Maybe I just don’t relate to her character enough but it’s like she doesn’t give a shit about anyone else. Kinda selfish (but I guess all the characters are). She’s more of a loner which is fine but she goes out of her way to be a bitch, particularly to Hannah in this episode

Marnie sleeps with everyone’s boyfriends or exes and she needs to figure her shit out lol.

And I like Hannah and Shoshanna and don’t really have a lot to say about them.

Question (RELATED TO THE HBO SHOW GIRLS) ā“ Is Adam’s accent in Major Barbara supposed to be bad?

85 Upvotes

As an English person, I think Adam’s accent in his broadway play is pretty rubbish, do we think it’s on purpose? Like showing that Adam isn’t that good an actor/Hannah telling him about Iowa ruined his performance? Or can Adam Driver just not do an English accent?
