Girls commentary

I cannot believe I have never commentated on my beloved show Girls here before till now. But maybe that was because I was too busy with grad school, writing two books and my new job. But now that I have finished grad school, my two books and settled into my new job, as well as happily watching the new season of Girls, I wanted to point out a few worth reflecting points on S05E04.

The season starts with Marnie being a blown up bitch on her wedding day. I mean Marnie has always been a bitch, but on her wedding day she was a blown up bridezilla who even drove away her make-up artist, and I totally side the make-up artist. Of course Marnie is still Marnie after getting married, but this time she realizes it, and I must quote:

Hannah: The worst thing about Fran is that he has this prescribed idea about how I should act in any given situation. When I don't fulfill his expectations, he judges me.
Marnie: Oh my God, that's horrible.
Hannah: Thank you.
Marnie: No that's exactly what I am doing to Desy. I'm the one who's building the f**king wall. I have to go apologize to him.
Hannah: I don't understand.
Marnie: Don't break up with Fran [...] People who work on things stay together.

So moving on to the whole Hannah, Fran, Adam and Jessa rectangle, I agree with Marnie that Fran is a good guy, but a good guy doesn't mean he can constantly be judgy. That's not what love is about. Love is about loving that person regardless of their imperfections while trying to make that person the best version of themselves. Adam never judged Hannah and her creativity. Adam is an artist like Hannah, but he can't have her because of Fran. While Jessa (who by the way is wrongly pointed out by Hannah the biggest bitch, no Marnie is) the friend who is trying to cut off the chemistry between her and Adam is trying to live her life the right way, going to AA meetings and study while Hannah and Marnie keeps being in their selfish bubble and totally not care about the friendship Jessa still gives a shit about. Jessa should be the one fury not Hannah. It is no wonder Hannah's bitchiness drives Jessa to be so upset she arrives at the door of Adam's place. I like how this part ended up though. The sex was bad but she didn't leave. It was more about the deeper intimacy with Adam than just the lust.

Another lovely part about this episode was Elijah and Dill. These are the gay people who make straight relationships look bad:

Elijah: Look, if...if this is the type of thing where I don't meet your friends, (blinks hardly and avoids eye contact for a bit) I could be um...er...I could be okay with that...(frowning)
Dill: (gazes intensely into his eyes) You shouldn't be. (And Dill's friends roll up into the restaurant).

If gay people can love so much like this, why can't we? Elijah is giving up every lover's ideal relationship of getting to meet the friends of his significant other. It's tantamount to a girl giving up the dream they've always had of a wedding (it's okay I just want to be with you). But that is also when Dill ensures Elijah that he doesn't have to give that up (it's basically saying: I will make you the happiest man on earth). This dialogue is probably the most romantic thing I have heard in the entire series. It's perfectly summed up as this post I saw on the internet "If you love someone, you will be willing to sacrifice your dreams for them. If they love you, they won't let you." The follow up of Dill showing Elijah off all around NYC gave me so much tingles. Ah...amore!
