I've been watching S3 of Weeds. It's... strange. I just finished the episode about the porn shoot a few days ago. Then again, the absurdity is why I like this show.
I kind of wish they'd focus more on the Black characters, though. Conrad and his family are probably my favorite characters, and I don't like how they're all about helping Nancy now that the gang drama is over. Nancy is a big nothing to me, honestly. She's so boring. I almost applauded when U-Turn told her, "get a fucking job."
Also, the sex scene with the masectomy scars was just AMAZING. It's up there with the epic Skins S2 scene with Tony and the girl who may or may not be imaginary as my favorite sex scenes of all time.
I wish Deb had never started dating Quinn in the first place. Honestly, I think everything she went through this season, dealing with different cases, the guy she killed, and then of course the barrel girls...I think all of that would have been so much better if she had been dealing with it without running to Quinn so often. Her character is so interesting, and I think she deals with a lot of ethical/moral dilemmas in a way that is so neat in juxtaposition with Dexter's character, but I feel like they ruin her by making so many of these issues revolve around her relationship with a man at some point or another. And this isn't to say I don't like seeing my fave strong female characters with boyfriends, but I don't like to see so much of who they are and what their role is in the show being defined by who they are dating.
Also, totally agree with you on how blah and half-assed Lumen's departure was. The entire last ten minutes of that finale were so cheesy and weird.
TONIGHT'S MISFITS (FINALE/SPOILERS)must_go_fasterDecember 16 2010, 23:18:23 UTC
Ok, was anybody else disgusted by about 80% of the episode? I mean, the show has been crass before but tonight they just over-did it. I'm so disgusted with Nathan right now, he went from "funny yet somehow sympathetic asshole" to absolutely despicable, he's pretty much a caricature of the character from the first season at this point.
So we spoke about this last week, but Fringe, guys, Fringe!
I'm just spreading the Olivia and Anna Torv love some more. <333
Also, I rewatched the Pilot recently, and I forgot just how good it was. The plot, the direction, the pacing, the characters. One thing I appreciate but think they handled really clumsily was the sexism, where Broyles and Peter try to demean Olivia as "sweetheart" repeatedly and she essentially needs to ~prove~ herself to make them stop. The fact that the men were just so casually sexist was never even about them but about Olivia, and it was like, look, Olivia can deal with sexism, moving on now!
I appreciate that they tried to address what a female FBI agent might go through, but what they did with it was really squicky.
