The good news is you can just not watch, and pretend it's gone. I actually still mostly like it, but I think I'm on the cusp of hate-watching, which I swore I'd never do. I like most of the actors, and it's fun for the house and clothes porn sometimes, but mostly, these women are just so ridiculous. They often make Carrie Bradshaw and company seem...substantive.

What is Shosh's job now? I missed something, I think.

This season ended. There are two more short seasons, not sure when season 4 premieres.

I have HBO but I've never seen an episode of GOT.

I wish Norman would stab Negan. Repeatedly. But cut his throat first so he can't freaking TALK anymore.

For me, this show eventually became to be just ALL about Mads Mikkelsen , who I am admittedly obsessed with, but it didn't begin that way. I knew Hugh Dancy from trivial little fluffy things, and I will admit that I haven't felt compelled to watch any and everything he's done, before or since, the way I have with Mads--I've literally tracked down everything Mads has ever been in, from commercials and shorts and snippets of plays, etc, to every film and TV show he's done, because I can't get enough of him. But I loved Will Graham too. During season three, when we had that episode with just Mads and Gillian and none of the rest of the cast, much as I loved it, I missed Will. I'm not obsessed with Dancy, but I also found his characterization of Will to be full of depth and resonance. If I looked like Alana Bloom, I'd want her dresses too.

I agree that the job would never have happened in real life and it's been pretty well documented why and how it wouldn't. It's frustrating, sometimes, how unreal it all is, but honestly, just to watch TV or movies at all, one must suspend disbelief and just go with it. Monica and Rachel could never have afforded that apartment. Carrie could never have afforded...anything she had. Neither could almost anyone we've ever seen on any sitcom--especially ones set in NYC--ever. It's fun to rant and rail about it all tho. We don't know who Shosh's guy is, except that they met in a cupcake shop and he apparently has alcoholic friends or family. And he's apparently Asian, tho I paid so little notice to him that I didn't register that. I agree that Shosh had a point about the 'friendships' of the Girls and that it IS probably just time to 'call it'. But her way of doing it was unkind, and her not inviting Hannah to the party even tho she invited the others indicated hostility and not just a lack of wanting the friendship to continue, so I don't think she's necessarily being mature about the whole thing. But friendships do just die, sometimes, and I have no problem with the idea that some of these have. I think you wind up being FB or other social media 'friends' later on with people like this. You don't hate them. You eventually do feel some curiosity about them, and hope they're doing well, and maybe reach out, but you don't really have room for them in your life. I think all the Girls might wind up there, tho I do think that Marnie and Hannah will stay friends, for whatever reasons.

JMO, but I completely disagree with this assessment. I find him pretty darned sexy.

Jason Ritter, John Ritter's son. He's such a cutie. Who, I did not realize, was the boyfriend of Marianna Palka, who played Jessa's half sister in season 5 (or whenever it was) but who is now engaged to Melanie Lynskey, who was married to one of my faves, Jimmi Simpson. All of which has nothing to do with anything, but the entertainment world is so interestingly incestuous. I kind of hated Shosh for treating Jason Ritter's cutie character so shabbily. Shosh likes to pretend she's a better person than the rest of the Girls, but she really is not. Shosh's fiancé is Asian? I didn't even notice.

Clearly, a few of us think it IS worthy of conversation. I love that show, and find it incisive, witty, smart, noxious and sad as hell. Also, I only just this minute realized that I had falsely believed that Alex Karposky and Desmin Borges were the same actor. Seriously, I thought Edgar and Ray were the same guy. WTF is wrong with me? I did too. I don't think we were supposed to get that she was knocked up or using again, just that she was kind of devastated about the Adam situation, and when she's devastated, she's her own worst enemy, and looks it. I agree that Shosh is no better or more mature than any of the rest of the Girls, but she sure thinks she is. I watched the "goodbye to girls' special last night. Nothing really new, but some nice interviews. Andrew Rannells HATED Elijah's wardrobe, but thought it worked for his character. I loved the old photo of Lena and Jemima as 12 year olds together, or whatever age one is in 6th grade. They both looked pretty much exactly the same.

I think humbleopinion is referring to Jessa having sex in the pilot, when she was going to get an abortion, and picked up a strange guy for sex in a bar. That latest scene was a call back to that. But we don't know that Jessa is now pregnant, and I certainly hope she's not. And it does seem that time has passed between that scene and last nite's episode, so we'd know if she was pregnant now, right? I have to admit, tho, that I don't know why her having sex with someone, even a random pickup, is worse because she's pregnant, especially if she was about to end it anyway. To be fair, she didn't say she'd taken a shit on the streets in NYC. Could have been some other street in some other city. Or even, not a street...just not a toilet. Yeah, we have seen her pee in the street, but I have to admit to doing that myself, once or twice, in my teens, after a drunken late nite. But behind a building or something, not right out in the street. Maybe i'm as gross as Jessa. But I would have drawn the line at anything beyond peeing.

This season feels rushed, and so the wrap ups are a little ridiculous--Hannah's convenient but seemingly improbably job offer in the nick of time---or too hurried and abrupt--Shosh's engagement to a guy we've never met--but this episode still kind of got to me. Shosh's hostility at Hannah seemed childish but not unearned, and her point about them all drifting and not really being friends anymore is spot on. But I got a little teary at the Jessa/Hannah conversation; they're not friends anymore either, but they found some peace. I liked them all staying at the party and all having their little moments. I loved everything Elijah, as always (and yeah, no way would Elijah have been able to keep Shosh's engagement/party a secret. come ON.) I'm going to be sorry to see this show come to an end.

Ron Howard has made some good films, but he's also made some crap. He hasn't had a HUGE hit in a number of years, and one of his more current efforts starred Kevin James. I think we can believe that our Kevin is at least as good, and certainly a lot more attractive, than Kevin James. And I don't think Ron Howard was offering him a lead role...just a part in a film. I don't have a terribly hard time believing it, or anyway, there's plenty more about the show I have issues with than this.

That's how I feel about Michonne/Danai Gurira. Love Michonne, but Danai always comes off hyper-pretentious.

I think Williams is limited, but I don't seem to think she's as terrible as most here. She was effective in "Get Out", basically playing a Marnie-type, or maybe what Marnie wishes she was: a pretty young thing born into great privilege, with some darkness and ugliness beneath the pretty exterior. So it wasn't a huge stretch from Marnie to the film, but she did fine. I actually thought the pawn shop scene was hilarious. I'm not gonna lie...though I think women should wear their pubic hair any way they please, or not at all...I always found that Quattro trimmer ad pretty funny, even a little clever. I might have low standards, tho.
