oiranSopranos was, as always, good last night. I thought I'd want to talk about the show a bunch when this season started, but I don't. Or, rather, I'm not capable. I'm inarticulate about it. I do find that I'm in tears at the end of every episode so far, but I never have any idea why.
And then I switch over to SHO for The L Word

Under what circumstances imaginable would the CAC people and their friends be the ones arrested? That was so fucking stupid that it turned the rest of the hour into a completely implausible joke.
As an adjunct to that, everyone just dropping their jewelry and phones on the counter while being booked (or whatever was happening) in a big heap really annoyed me.
Does Pam Grier have only one expression left? And is Kit Porter supposed to resemble a large toddler emotionally and intellectually? And why does everyone "masculine" and on the make fall for her? I am not enjoying Pam Grier on this show at all.
I can't believe Shane (who is so cool!!!!) would hang around the police station for FIVE HOURS waiting for her married hag girlfriend to come pick her up. I did love the scene with Shane and the pouty hag girlfriend's daughter. The little bits of Shane's past that we get are really interesting. I know I'm late in the Kate crushing, but I'm doing it twice as hard to make up for lost time. Does anyone else think that Shane can't possibly be in love with Sherry/Rosanna Arquette? [/jealous]
I love Dana and her silly Mr. Piddles, and I loved "Ton-Ton"'s face when Dana explained all about the medicines and food that Mr. P needs to take.
I actually found Jenny interesting this time, though she's such a scam artist...god, she reminds me of a girl I was friends with for years and years and years who just did everything at these wrong angles, was always hurt and hurting and refused to stop or alter her behavior. And why did they keep talking about manatees when those were BELUGA WHALES????? Couldn't anyone on the production staff be bothered to find out what a manatee looks like and find a tank full of them instead? Of course, they're not as sleek and smooth as a beluga, but then why not make Jenny's lame-ass story about a woman who speaks the beluga language instead?
Alice needs more onscreen stuff to do. I'd like it if the show was pared down to Dana, Shane, Alice, and--I hate to say it--godawful Jenny. Bette is hateful and unrealistic. Kit is pointless. Tina is only there to make Bette look like a bigger bitch, I guess. Marina is creepy and stalkerish. I really dislike that character. I hope they do something soon to make me have any sympathy for her/interest in her, because the actress is lovely and I think quite talented. But I hate Marina anyway.
Again: BELUGA FUCKING WHALES, people.
