Of course, there's a larger subtext here which would make for interesting analysis. What's the message? Men and women get along better when there's some tension in the sexual dynamic? When men and women commit to a relationship, they get more boring? I'm not sure what it's telling us, really. But I like how Robert B. Parker (R.I.P. dude) kept his Spenser detective character seperate from Susan Silverman in his books; they tried living together once and it didn't work out, so they had their own houses, their own jobs, and never married, but were more of a couple than most married people (who, inevitably in the novels, tended to be unfaithful or promiscuous). Maybe it's a "grass is greener" or "songs unheard" kind of a thing, and maybe it's what leads guys like Tiger and Jesse James into temptation only to find, like the failed TV shows, that things go downhill once you bag the prize, LOL. :shrug:

I thought the Office taught Hollywood that lesson.

I have never seen a chick that looks like a douchebag, until now.

My thought as well. She had to have gotten to the tub somehow.

Good show and getting better as it goes along IMO.

Tony Danza slept with Alyssa Milano?!? What the f**k?!? I missed that episode... More like "Who's Your Daddy".... ewwww.

Oh, wait, you meant Judith Light. Never mind.

Put "The Nanny" in there too in terms of shows going downhill once The Sex was had...

Ugh, that show was always terrible.

Are you kidding? She's a Slavic Penelope Cruz.

Here's a somewhat better picture. I think she's pretty.

She's in the borderline category, like Robin Tunney ("The Mentalist") and Melina Kanakaredes ("CSI: NY") and some others. They're not "pretty" with perfect soft features, but they have an attractiveness that's more classic. They CAN be pretty, but they're what, in the 19th century, would have been referred to as "a handsome woman".

Well, as long as she didn't die in the last episode, I don't care what she looks like. :)

Agreed.

:eek:You should have seen her in 24 as Colette Stenger.

JD10367 03-26-2010 09:25 PM

I think they purposefully "de-prettify" her as well. Same thing for Robin Tunney in "The Mentalist"; I've noticed this season that her new hairdo is a little more feminine, and it loks like she has a little more makeup on, so I think they're softening her up some. They do the same thing with Stana, occasionally shoving her into a dress or something. If you Google Search her, you'll find her a lot prettier "off set" than she is portrayed on "Castle"...
