Too much MALE TEARS/navel-gazing. Tina is the best part of this series.

The episode when the boys go back home to Detroit (?) was terrible. The character Duplass plays is a huge bore and needs to be better written.

The magical hipster lady who appeared out of nowhere with her bike, to comfort and later seduce Duplass in the bathroom (?) was such a wretchedly cliched character.

Tina is a mess and she's by far the best part of this series. Love her awful skin tight white jeans. She like Marnie from GIRLS, 15 years in the future.

I agree 100%. Tina is the best thing about this show. We need more of her and less Brett because he's f#cking boring. Did we really need a whole episode dedicated to him acting like a child?

That whole episode was pretty wretched, except for the RHCP.

Brett has really been getting on my nerves in Season 2. He's been acting like a big baby after finding out about the affair. I get the whole "getting back to your roots" thing that's been playing out. But while he's playing born again teenager with Alex, Michelle is left in limbo. Brett needs to quit being a dick to Michelle and either leave her or forgive her.

Wow. Would you be saying the same thing about Michelle if Brett had cheated on her? Is it so easy to just get on with it after someone you love tells you that they've betrayed you in the worst possible way? It's only been a few weeks since Michelle felt the need to unburden herself. He is entitled to behave in any way he feels, as far as I'm concerned. Brett has always been a terribly sensitive man. We've known that about him from the beginning, so his behavior shouldn't come as such as surprise. Personally, I think he's been incredibly restrained with her considering what's happened. I don't think that most men would've been that way. Is there a timetable on when Brett is supposed to just get over this? Why?

And why is it that men aren't allowed to have emotions about being cheated on, but women are allowed to run the gamut when it happens to them?

Sister, when I've raised hell, you'll know it!

I'm not saying men are allowed to have emotions. Brett can take all the time in the world to think over what happened and decide what he wants to do. But he never said to Michelle "I need time to process this and some time on my own to think". He just flew out of the house like a bat out of hell and since then has never had a conversation with Michelle about the relationship.
