This week the Girls in Hoodies bid farewell to Girls‘s divisive second season. What are we to make of the show’s trajectory now that Hannah and Adam are “Together” again? How much responsibility do TV writers have to reassure us they’re not as dumb as their characters? Has Ray been the hero of Girls all along? We then move on to address a different sort of televised horror, the premiere of A&E’s Bates Motel, and the recently announced American Horror Story: Coven, and what it is exactly that makes a scary show work. Finally, we talk about the recent success of the Veronica Mars movie Kickstarter and a modern fandom culture that just doesn’t know when to quit.
