10 Thoughts on Episode 5 of Insecure
I'm not going to lie, I was so wrapped up in last Sunday's Game of Thrones that I missed the first few minutes of Insecure (I know, Insecure come on 30 minutes after but Game of Thrones is that good. I couldn't think straight, we were suffering a loss.) Insecure is only 30 minutes long, so missing a few minutes translates to missing half of the damn thing. But without further delay, here's my 10 thoughts on last Sunday's Insecure. Warning, there will be spoilers!
1. Tank on E
I don't mean to read too far into things but I saw a deeper meaning into Issa's tank being on empty. When she only put enough gas to get her to the next destination, I saw that as more than an example of her financial status. What I saw was her life on E and she's bound to crash. She thinks she's being fulfilled while she's embracing her "hoeness" but she's not. All these men won't truly satisfy her. She's putting on a facade and I have a feeling the finale will involve everything catching up to her. hope she'll be able to handle it.
2. This Underground Parody
Regina Hall and Jake from Scandal are hilarious. I don't know if the show is supposed to be a parody of Underground (RIP Underground) but that was the last show I watched that took place before the abolishment of slavery and that's all I see when the show comes on. I feel like we should get full episode on YouTube or something. I would watch.
3. IDGAF About These Co-Workers
I want to fast forward every scene with Lawerence and his co-workers. I just don't understand why we need these scenes. Okay we get it, Lawerence has a decent job. His co-workers are not remotely as entertaining as the We Got Ya'll Crew. I don't care about this marathon they are prating for. I mean, what relevance does that have to the plot line?
4. Not About This Feeling S**t
Says every girl after a breakup. I might've said that once or twice in my life. So I know it's BS. Issa putting "n***as in a hoe-tation" will only entertain her for the moment. Eventually she'll get bored. Hopefully she sees that before Daniel takes her up on her f**k buddy offer.
5. YEET!
This is a slang term my friend introduced me to and I use it almost everyday. The way I use yeet, is the same way salty is used. Basically meaning you got played, or you're mad. Yeet was the first thought I had when Lawrence spotted Issa in the back of the photo with Daniel. So salty! You could see the disappointment wash over his pretty little face and I loved it.
6. Oh, Have The Tables Turned
I love how Insecure flipped the script and had the white girl be upset with the black girl for ignoring racism. With what the world has become, everyday is me being upset at mute white people. I appreciate writers giving us a different viewpoint. If we can be upset with them for not speaking up, we have to be upset at our own people when they don't either.
7. Issa's Alter Ego...I Can't
Issa be talking that mess in her head. Which is so me. I wish I was as bold as my inner thoughts. Then again, I'd be unemployed if I was.
8. Here He Go Whining
Kudos to Derek for calling Lawrence out. Lawrence sat there complaining about Issa and did not bother to recognize his fault in her affair. In no way do I condone what Issa did but let's be real, 2 years unemployed is a no no.
9. Poor Daniel
Here's the thing about exploring the hoe phase, the other persons feelings are never considered. If you plan on being a hoe, you just have to do that with other hoes and Daniel is not in his hoe phase. Daniel needs to be up front and let Issa know that he wants more than a friend with benefits, otherwise, his feelings will get hurt.
10. Bye Molly
I rolled my eyes so hard at Molly. She was searching so hard for an excuse to sleep with Dro. She went and found the dumbest one…her dad had an affair years ago. Girl, you had Sterling freaking K. Brown and you gave that up for Dro's married a**!! He's MARRIED Molly. Open or not, he's married. The way Dro is pursing Molly seems like an affair on his part. I'm assuming an open marriage entails sleeping with whoever you want, no feelings involved. Dro has too much of a personal connection with Molly for her to be a hookup. I just can't get over how upset Molly was over discovering her father's affair. Clearly, her parents worked it out, they're renewing their vows. She was behaving like a child throwing a tantrum over old news. Grow up Molly.
