Bru.tal. Seriously disturbing.
I almost fast-forwarded when Marnie started singing.
Once again Dunham's rom-com proclivities get the better of her. Ugh. Some are claiming that the whole Adam racing to 'rescue' Hannah was meant to be entirely ironic, but I'm not sure I buy that.
Once again?
The Season 1 finale also had lots of rom-com elements: surprise wedding, Adam getting hit by a car during big argument, Marnie & Charlie thwarted hookup, etc
What an odd episode.
By far the best scene was shoshana dumping Ray. And then Hannah's phone call to Jessa.
The last scene ... Not sure about all of that.
The sequence of Adam running through the streets of Brooklyn is superficially romantic, but it doesn't take much squinting to imagine him, with hairy face and naked torso, as a nocturnal predator. He's no Matthew Perry, and it's hard to rest comfortably with the idea of Adam as someone who can bring Hannah back to mental health.
Agreed. I also thought Marnie's "happy ending" didn't make much sense because I always thought Charlie was a douche.

Marnie is annoying, as they all are, but nice to see a smile on her face.
The Shosh impression was perfect and the girl doing Jessa was funny. I was 'eh' on the rest. Also, SNL is kind of late in parodying Girls, no? (though between this, Arcade Fire, and Aaron Paul being in half the sketches, I ended up watching most of it last nite)
Delightful first two episodes, and they really flew by. I want more already. Love how Jessa-centric they were, too.
The show works better for me when Hannah is in her good, happy place as opposed to the darker, anxious, crazy phase she was in for parts of last season. So I like where the season is starting. The Maroon 5 scene is a classic.
