GIRLS Season 5

[Guy Gardener]

You do understand that she's from New York?

8.6 million people squeezed into 789 square kilometers.

They live in tiny boxes, paying double for everything until they get the good sense to leave.

Consumer Prices in New York, NY are 13.20% higher than in Tokyo
Consumer Prices Including Rent in New York, NY are 41.12% higher than in Tokyo
Rent Prices in New York, NY are 93.58% higher than in Tokyo
Restaurant Prices in New York, NY are 82.24% higher than in Tokyo
Groceries Prices in New York, NY are 7.65% higher than in Tokyo
Local Purchasing Power in New York, NY is 7.12% lower than in Tokyo

The work visa is difficult.

Getting a job is difficult because of the language issues.

Although Sho just left school, so her parents should still be "partially" supporting her, or amazed that they are not supporting her.

Money is not the obstacle you think it is.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

She said her parents weren't supporting her.

I am betting she becomes a nurse.

 

[Guy Gardener]

What we saw was the Chuck E Cheese drive through takeout of SMBD clubs.

A real club with real clients who want to be properly dominated is where the money might be, but if she tries the (Japanese) Craig's List route, Sho is just going to end up spending the rest of her short life naked in a dog kennel.

I saw Zosia's face on a movie poster the other day.

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

You just don't want your sweet little Shoshanna doing those bad things.

 

[Guy Gardener]

7th Heaven was 5 minutes ago, and I've always wanted to see Jessica doing bad things, but the worst thing she ever did was Blade III. That movie was like a war crime of awfulness.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

That was a waste of an episode. Does anyone actually care about Elijah?

Hey Girls how about if you have different story lines in an ep rather than making the entire ep about the incremental advancement of new and doomed relationships. Like we could have had a big Hannah's parent's story and NOT had Elijah's "story" if you can even call those boring scenes a story.

Marnie. Come on now, this is getting super dumb, the super dumbness.

Why does Hannah still have a job? Oh actually let me just remember varying lunatic teachers I have known.. because you have to commit a crime to get fired. Okay, that gets a pass. Fran's life is going to be total hell when he breaks up with her and still has to work in the same school as her. Total hell.

Does Desi own that apartment? I am going to assume yes, otherwise they are totally fucked.

Jessa and Adam are boring. BORING. Jessa looked weird in this episode, like she suddenly became 35. Maybe she brushed her hair? I think that might be it.

I am still amused at Ray staring out the window of his empty coffee shop at Helvetica I predict someone will suddenly discover how old school Ray is and his coffee shop will fill up and the Helvetica owners will be left stroking their hipster beards and trying to think of a redo. I am going to be bet money with myself that this will happen.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Elijah's boyfriend, Corey Stoll, is semi-big right now.

The boy friend is important, not Elijah, they just had to figure out what to do with him, after (I'm assuming?) he asked if he could be on the show, and they picked Elijah's new boyfriend as the role to saddle him with.

Stoll broke out (for me at least) in the first season of House of Cards, but now he's the male lead in The Strain, and he was the bad guy in Ant-Man.

Fran, if he hasn't broken up with her by this point, is committed to ignoring the crazy, and sticking with this bag of nut-bars till death. Hannah doesn't appreciate that she is with a man that will never leave her for non crazy reasons, and is reasonably benign most of the rest of the time. Hannah of course doesn't know that she is mental, or that ordinary people find her personality to be a pit of compost.

The poetry kid was hilarious.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Elijah's boyfriend, Corey Stoll, is semi-big right now.

I don't like him. He looks like he should be on CSI. I WANT MORE ETHAN PHILLIPS. He is much more interesting to look at.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Some homosexuals count their "true" age from either their homosexual awakening or when they come out. Suffice to say that Ethan has accepted to play another role where he's diddling a new born.

Where the hell was Sho!!!!!?????

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Japan of course, taking temperatures and administering medicine.

 

[Guy Gardener]

"Oh my, what a larger rectal thermometer you have Shoshanna."

I don't see us seeing Sho as a dom, but I do see a 4 to 6 month time jump, where after we see Nurse Sho on her superhappyfun last day, when either she finally has enough money to quit, or there's some "nearsexact" they want her to go about that crosses a line, and she runs.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

They're going to make it all The Awakening of Sho. She will come back with every bit of vanilla licked clean from her. Hannah will immediately need to compete.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Years ago, did she #### Ray?

I remember him looking after Shoshanna while she was high on speed.

She's not going to need to search for darker pleasures, although I'll admit that she is going to be nonplussed with... Sexwork is funny to professionals who earn a DECENT WAGE. Sho would have to be ninny to confuse imaginary playtime at work with shit she can take home with her to share with a loved one.

Although does Sho still Love John Ritter's kid? Sure she loves Japan more, but if she's face to face with New York again, he would be a decent save point to reboot her life from if he's not super pissed by losing a year being faithful to woman who has no interest in... Wouldn't he have been at the wedding?

Oh! Oh!

The girls go on an intervention to save Sho from a dreary life of prostitution & domination, but when they get there, despite having to whip fat boys now and then, her life is a hundred times better than any of theirs.

If the cast and crew do all go to Japan nearer to the end, can they forget to take Desi back to New York when they pack to leave?

Oh.

Were they really in Japan, or are they faking Japan with parts of New York?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I thought they were faking it but I looked it up and they were not.

She never loved John Ritter's kid, he was just rich and not a dick.

Did she hashtag RAY?! She lost her virginity to Ray.

And yes that is very amusing the idea of them flying off to intervene only to go home to much drearier lives than dear Shoshanna is having.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I loved it in the beginning as the world decided to just tell Marnie what I think of her.

"Fuck you Marnie"

Someone in the writers room really understands me.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Here's an article on Shoshanna's groovy Japanese pad:

http://www.news.com.au/travel/world...b/news-story/b41337170e089d148a3ee962eef5a8e5

You can stay there with air b'n'b! Probably booked out for forever now.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Well Guy I bet you were super happy your Shosh was not "nursing" but instead making a yen in a cat cafe

Seriously she's just having homesickness, all she needs is to have one friend there who is also a stranger in a strange land. And I don't know what all this not rushing the cherry blossom crap was because Japan is plenty stressed and rushed but she seems to see it as a zen hippy place with cat ears.

This ep was good for many reasons but especially because there was NO MARNIE.

I am pretty much in love with Hannah's stomach. It's like glorious pudding. I so want to make the back view of her in the swimsuit my avatar but google would probably freak.

That pull out fantasy sex was highly unerotic

 

[Guy Gardener]

Who does a man have to fuck around here to get a youtube of that song at the end of tonights episode?

Life on Mars by Aurora, yes I know it's a cover, don't be a twit.

Who the hell wants to share their meals with cats?

Did all those people have cancer? (obviously not, they're just mental. Possibly it's a spiritual thing? Seriously for a second I thought it was a restaurant where you pick out a specific cat that you want the kitchen staff to butcher and prepare for your dinner.)

The round girl being shown around by Sho has been a bit player on SNL for the last ten years, but never really had a noticeable break out character, because the funny finished there when Bulushi died.

"I just wanted to steadily sit in a McDonalds until I felt safe again."



Fran seems like his time is counting down.

Predatory lesbian doesn't know what a sauna is?

It's probably her fetish.

Can't cum unless the thermostat is over 40 degrees C.

"If one more person bows and apologises, for no reason I am going to cut a bitch."

Sho Rules!

(Sho is just part of Lena's head. It doesn't matter where the actress goes next, if the next people writing her dialogue are muppets.)

We're half way tot he end ain't we?

So sad.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Cat cafes are big in Japan because everyone lives in small apartments and have less pets because of long work hours as well. We have a cat cafe in Melbourne now but it costs like 25 dollars to go there and pet cats which I can do for free.

Only halfway to the end? I was afraid it was much closer. SO I'm happy and there is going to be one more season?

This is a good cover (I'm listening to the youtube).. I liked how they gave us so much of it with Shosh as it's usually a song over black with the credits.

I had a lot of sympathy for Hannah down there doing something sweaty and unfamiliar getting more and more flushed and NO AIR. Down there. Those thighs were gripping her, she really was steaming it up in that ruby fruit jungle. I do love very uncomfortable scenes like that, so well done

 

[Guy Gardener]

30 more seconds.

Jesus Hannah.

Are we supposed to think that Jessa and Adam are more giving people generous people because they were able to ad-lib a narrative while coming, and Hannah couldn't persist for a third of a moment?

I'm guessing that this Aurora lady is "Young Bjork" for the next generation?

Have I forced the The Venture Bros on you?

Season one was a bust, but it's been gold since then.
