Californication -- "The Raw & the Cooked" -- 10/19/08

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Hank and Karen throw a dinner party that turns into a disaster when Hank butchers his marriage proposal to her. Also, there's a chance that Hank may be the father of their friend Sonja's child, and Lew almost winds up sleeping with the fishes after an allergic reaction to sushi.

Pretty funny episode about Karen and Hank's dinner party with their guests.

Can't blame Karen for throwing her shields back up, and Hank's back being Hank. I'm sure a paternity test is in the cards for Sonja's baby.

Best ep of the season so far-by a mile. The dinner scenes were great, and the ending made me smile, even though it was supposed to be somewhat sad.

So now hopefully Hank can get back to fornicating. Showtime is getting their ass kicked by HBO right now - in the naked chicks category

"Freebird" was perfect for the ending.

Yeah, but SHO cut out part of the song when they showed next weeks preview during the end credits!

The next week previews should always been shown after the program ends just like HBO does it!

We all had to know that Hank was going to be single again. That is the point of this trainwreck of his life.

I know, right?

Actually, it should be more like True Blood is kicking Californication's ass in the naked chicks department. The fact that I just wrote that sentence is mind-boggling.

I've been watching these a week ahead of time On Demand so I it always feels strange to try and discuss last week's episode.

This one was great for sure. I tore through the first season on disc and signed up for SHO based on it. The show has a great balance between funny and serious, and some great acting IMO from the leads. I mean it is basically Duchovny being Duchovny, but I've always found him a lot of fun to watch.

It really is weird watching these episodes a week ahead as was mentioned. I'm expecting to talk about the latest episode, but it's this. Good surprising moment, and that guy is strange.

Man, I felt uncomfortable with the dinner party, and I was just watching on TV.

I wonder what the hell the bow was thinking, seeing all of this the first time he comes over. The hallway scene was quite funny.

Ditto. Very uncomfortable.

I hate that Hank and Karen are broken up again. It's such a plot device to keep them apart. I can understand why the show is doing it, but I hope that it is more of an on and off relationship, rather than they stay apart until the last episode of the series.

eh, i thought the ending was touching, and adding freebird to the mix was just icing on the cake. yes i hate how showtime shows the 'next on' during the credits. I also hate how they are the only premium network that has the logo at the bottom of the screen, for some reason, it was a tad distracting, as i watched the first season on dvd.

I never found Bill's daughter that attractive. Good body, hurting face.

Her face seems to be getting longer each episode. And this 23 year old doesn't look like a 17 year old.

Everytime I see her, I still think of the Nanny.
