Girls: Home Birth
March 23, 2015 9:10 AM - Season 4, Episode 10 - Subscribe
Caroline's home birth does not go as planned. Shoshanna considers her options. Ray and Desi have it out, with some repercussions for Marnie.
Wow, I totally forgot Fanfare existed and that I could talk about shows I watch with other Mefites!
How do people feel about Adam? Personally I strongly dislike him and just hope to hell this ending means he won't be on the next season. Though really, Hannah is mostly just terrible too; I was like "noooooooo Frannnnn save yourseeeeeelf" when the camera revealed the two of them traipsing through the snow. I am definitely in the (apparently large, to read Onion AV Club reviews) camp of "these people are all awful, why do I watch this show".

I like all of them. They make me cringe and they talk too much about bullshit but I'm always hoping for the best. I really hope Jessa has a good arc next season. Jemima Kirke would have to be one of the most underrated actors working today.

One of the recaps I read yesterday mentioned that Lena Dunham has said that Adam's character is the Mr. Big of this show, so I think he will continue to be in and out of the series. I liked him more in this season than in previous seasons.
It's interesting to consider this as a response to Sex and the City. I was in my early 20s when SatC was on the air, and now I'm in my late 30s while watching Girls. I hated the SatC characters, but I don't hate the characters on Girls. I think the difference is that SatC was presented as aspirational, while Girls is cringe humor. SatC was adult women with fully-formed terrible personalities in place, while Girls is young women in (what I take to be) the self-involved phase of the early 20s. I am not sure how much of this is me watching these shows at different points in my own life.
I love the idea of Shoshanna really going to Japan, and I hope they don't walk it back after a couple of episodes like they did with Hannah going to Iowa.

Shoshanna is my favorite. Go Team Shosh! I'm glad she's going to Japan and not becoming Jason Ritter's trophy wife.
