I think it's doomed to just go round and round with Hank hurting them then making up to them. If it didn't have such good writing and acting I'd call it quits.

Yeah, not much really happens with this show but it's been an entertaining ride this season.

Definitely doing the round and round thing with this show.

They're really getting a lot of usage out of the "someone else did something bad but Hank will look like the bad guy" angle.

Karen's looking like a worse person than Hank. When Hank was with her, he never cheated on her. Yet Karen doesn't seem to have a problem cheating on Mangina with Hank.

Not one likeable character on the show with the exception of Becca - and she's just annoying.

That ending was just BS. I wouldn't had stomp out. I would call that cheating bitch out and let Samurai beat the shit outa him again and this time will be far worse since he messed with his girl.

Can't believe there was no nudity in this episode too. Well, minus Stu with his pants down.

Exactly my thoughts. For a character that is as clever and witty as Hank Moody I feel myself thinking to myself "USE YOUR WORDS HANK" way too often. I would have called his ass out right away. It's better for Becca to know. How does he not get that?

And speaking of which, once Lizzie turned me down and pretty much broke up with me I would have went running to my ex wife to tell her how the nanny was blowing her husband.

Also, I would kill any one of you for a BJ from Camille Luddington.

I agree that what keeps me interested in this show is the good acting and dialogue (and the better than average chance of seeing a gorgeus girl naked). Story wise, it's too repetitive . Seems like the loop is: Hank wants the best for his family but will look like an A-hole for telling the truth, Hank not doing the natural thing hurts family, Hank gets vindicated, Charlie gets embarassed in a sexual manner, back to first part and repeat.

The finale looks as though it will be another "vindication" ep. , but at least we get more Natalie Zhea in nympho mode.
