Californication -- "The Land of Rape and Honey" -- 10/04/09

Californication

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Newly minted college professor Hank tarnishes his image and finds himself in a campus imbroglio when his overly candid assessment of a student's work goes over the line. Elsewhere, Charlie takes a bit too much interest in Marcy's affairs, which causes problems on the already problematic home front.



I enjoyed the start of this season. Looking forward to seeing Hank's exploits at the college. Him and Dean Koontz should make good comedy.

Another terrible photoshop job. Is it that hard to set up a shot like this?

Oh well, the premier was leagues better than all of season 2 so I'm looking forward to this.

I wonder how much more he enjoys his work on this show compared to The X-Files.

I think he loves it. He gets to curse, smoke, drink and have simulated sex with practically every woman on this show. No wonder he and Tea Leoni were having marital problems....LOL

Can you imagine if they got Gillian Anderson on this show, and she and David had a hilarious go at it on this show for an episode? Epic!

Hank as a college professor is priceless.

I hope we get to see that student-stripper's tatas at some point this season.

Showtime renews 'Californication'
David Duchovny-starrer gets fourth season

By STUART LEVINE

Showtime has picked up a fourth season of "Californication."

Season three opened to strong ratings and network topper Robert Greenblatt figured it was the appropriate time to greenlight another 12 episodes.

Season three's premiere scored 1.2 million viewers (including an opening-night encore presentation) and was up 57% from the previous season's opener.

Skein, which airs at 10 p.m. Sundays and stars David Duchovny as a sex addict trying to balance his family and job, is exec produced by Duchovny, Tom Kapinos and Gina Fattore.

Is it just me or does this show seem a lot funnier this season? I have always enjoyed the show, but never found it laugh-out-loud funny. But this season, Hank has really been making me laugh.

Still giggling over "Live strong asshole!" and flicking the cigarette butt at Peter Gallagher on the bike.

Did you know the stripper-student is Susan Sarandon's daughter (Eva Amurri)? She's got great cleavage.

I first noticed her in "Saved!".

The student-stripper is Eva Amurri, Susan Sarandon's daughter.

She's got an amazing pair.

EDIT - Patman beat me to it.

The whole Rape storyline was stupid in my opinion. There's no way Runkle was stupid enough to believe that Marcy was getting raped - not by what she was saying. It's hard to believe anyone would take it as anything but role-playing. And then he decides to role-play a rape even though Marcy wasn't in on it? Terrible writing that really make the characters seem beyond retarded.

Also Hank's starting to annoy me with how childish he's being. He's like a child with ADD.

I hope the characters don't stay this stupid and irritating.

Too much screen time for Team-Runkle.

Yeah, I'm not too huge a fan of Mr. and Mrs. Runkle anymore. The less we see of their weird bullshit the better.

Re: Californication -- "The Land of Rape and Honey" -- 10/04/09

has anyone else noticed that Hank seems much more douchier than normal? i don't know what it is, but i am not liking how Duchovny is playing Hank so far this year. it seems more assholish than usual and i am not sure i am liking it.

even with Becca, who he would protect to the ends of the earth and when it comes to her, he really is a good father and knows right from wrong in that regard, but his less than father-like reaction to when she was smoking pot last ep.? i mean he didn't really do anything and i think the past 2 seasons prior he would have much more so.

something, to me, seems off with his portrayal.
