You're lame "Ray"!

"Terrible"

By sandbur, May 05, 2011 Report Abuse

THAT'S why you can't get the girl! Enough with the self absorbed, self pitying entire cast!

This show could be awesome. The chance for some really clever, intelligent and yet mature humour is right there in the writer's computers and I dunno, they must be on VISTA or something, because they just don't seem to be able to get it up...there...on the screen without crashing and burning! If this show were real life, I would not give a single one of these characters the time of day, and if on a TV show, you can't relate to a character, you turn the channel.

The best lines in this episode came as Tanya passed on the "Dear Ray" message from Jemma, and I had to give them kudos for having the girl want to see what it felt like to do the dumping to someone who cared, for no reason. Cold, but don't we all just want to go there...just once...just for one brief moment...?

Despite the bad reviews, I will still check in every now and then, because you know?: I believe "it" is in there somewhere, though currently I get as much just looking at the ceiling and thinking of England.moreless

The Break Up: A Ray Drecker Story

After Jemma tells Ray she wants it quits on their flinging together he searches out Tanya who is busy dealing with Lenore who seems to have taken a rekindled interest in Ray's and her "business" what with a new ad making its way into the classifieds. Lenore hooks Ray up with a new suit and tells him that he should be upping his price not lowering it and they have sex in a furniture store. Turns out that Jemma had been hurt in her previous love affairs and wanted payback to be hers this time, not even Tanya knew. Poor Ray Drecker. And Tanya's boyfriend is quite the anomaly.moreless

*** Spoiler-free *** Inspiring friendship, authentic acting, realistic and sad story but missing cartoony scenes and short format of the living dead

Tanya and Ray are the strangest friends but the closest thing to female and male friendship I have ever seen on TV. Their authentic profiles and the skillful acting of the performers continue to make them grow on us. As expected there was something sad about this installment as Jemma didn't show up at the end of the previous episode. I knew something was wrong with her and the development of that arc was quite surprising. It's like in the real life, people keep doing the same mistakes over and over. It's like a neverending sad story. However in Hung things are not just pictured in their darkest light as the writers found it more appropriate to also shadow the doubts of the protagonists with brighter moments and exquisite dialogs. Even if I miss the crazy scenes involving the mother or the children there're still plenty of elements to appeal the heart and soul. First I really liked the sad music theme and it perfectly suited the scenes it was used in. Second the relationship between Ray and his ex-wife was developed and we learned why she broke with him. Let's hope it'll help him to become a better man and motivate him because even if it hurts to know the truth I think it's better than believing in naive happy endings. Like in Dexter the show is all about fixing the broken doll within and solving complex issues. Will Ray ever manage to save himself from his Dark Passenger ? I bet he will ! You can only be successful with such a big brain in your pants after all.moreless

- Episode Title: "Ith a prothetic" is a line spoken by a lisping Damon when his father asks him about his pierced tongue. "I think you come just right" is what Ray tells Tanya to reassure her after having doubts about their first sexual encounter. Edit
- Goof: In the scene where Ray is supposed to give a note to Jemma outside her workplace, he is holding out the paper towards Jemma while she walks away. In the next immediate shot, the hand holding the note jumped from being extended to being on his waist. Ray then pulls the note from under his jacket, holds it out, and tears it up. Edit
- Goof: When Jessica yells at Ray in the tent, he is so startled that he drops the pen and pad he is holding. The next shot shows Ray holding both items in his right hand. Edit

- (Tanya tries to convince Patty to try Happiness Consultants) Tanya: It's really not appropriate for the workplace but, um...I'll share. Lenore has a service for women who feel alone....to help them feel less alone. Patty: What are you talking about? Tanya: It's a service for women. There are times when I find myself fighting these urges that rise in me. I desperately want a man, this service helps satisfy that urge. I know, it sounds shocking, but you wouldn't believe how good it is. Edit
- Tanya: (to Ray) I put a lot of effort into being your pimp, and I just feel like if you can't respect my part of running this business, then I'm just gonna go back to making lyric bread. So are you ready to work your ass off and be part of my winning team? Edit
