KrakenNiz • 9 months ago Gretchen, marry me. Lindsay, drink with me. Jimmy, debate with me. Edgar, counsel me. I need no other quirky comedies for 2015! I am alllllll set with this gem.
ethylene Alana • 9 months ago I don't think he's smiling like that as much as relief that she's not cheating on him or that he did something wrong, basically anything that ends up with they're breaking up. He asked what she wanted, she wanted space. He could do that, so pat on the back, mission accomplished, Jimmy. If she asked for a burrito or a moon rock, he'd try to do that, too. They've tried "sharing" and did not like it. If she wanted him to know she was crying, she would have stayed at home. I really want to see how they deal with this, as the therapist earlier made me pretty sure it'd end up being part of whatever was up. I'd be surprised if she's never seen a therapist, though.

usvtheman a quiet storm • 8 months ago Yup, she really nailed it in that counter scene. Another great, subtle moment: Sam's song comes on the radio, and everyone agrees that it's a very good song. So what's Gretchen's first thought? That she'll be fired as Sam gets too popular. It goes by so quick, but it really distills the feelings of inadequacy, and conviction that everything will result in the worst possible outcome, that go along with depression. 15 • Reply•Share ›

James Allen Janet Snakehole • 8 months ago They way the 5 of them were randomly dancing towards the end made it look like a Peanuts special.

usvtheman James Allen • 8 months ago Your comment makes me think of another brilliant aspect of that scene. It's brutal because Gretchen realizes that Rob has the same doubts and fears that she has. But also, Rob misinterprets Gretchen /the exact same way she misinterprets him/. That is, he assumes that Gretchen and Jimmy are living the ideal life in /his/ mind, carefree, joyful, partying, smoking weed past 10 p.m. Gretchen and Rob are really complete mirrors of each other in that scene. They're so quick to open up to each other because they both think, 'man, here's someone who really gets it.' But the facade's only stripped away for Gretchen.

Fresh Ninja Lopsidedown • 8 months ago Gretchen actively keeps Jimmy in the dark about the depth of her problems. Sure, he's an oblivious asshole, but that's part of what makes him attractive to Gretchen. She knew what she was getting when she chose him - someone who'd be too self-involved to pester her about a condition she takes great pains to hide behind a facade.
