Years ago, when the show first started, we watched it for the first two seasons, but then we stopped our Showtime subscription. Well, we recently started up that subscription again, so we’re watching The L Word again. It’s been pretty good… or at least absorbing. But I just got a pleasant surprise—one of my favorite actors appears to be a new series guest-regular: Melanie Lynskey.
Yeah, you’ve probably never heard of her, but you’ve probably seen her. She made her debut in Heavenly Creatures, played the supporting “best friend” type on Ever After, But I’m Not A Cheerleader, and Coyote Ugly; and eventually winded up a guest-regular on the hit TV show Two and a Half Men.
The best part is that she appears to be using her native Kiwi accent instead of the fake American one she’s had to use in her last few roles (sans Snakeskin)… even though I think in the season finale she might be skankily stealing away someone from her girlfriend…
By the way, I used to have an entire website devoted to her, but I got a bit lazy about updating it, so now she’s just a category on my blog.
Man, the drama on that show.
I had a good chat with co-workers about last night’s episode.
I mean, how many mini-crisis can you have in one hour?
235? I mean, come on!
I think it was 236 on Sunday!
I think that Melanie is ADORABLE! I also think that she and Leisha (Alice) would make a GREAT couple! I searched for more info on the web about Ms. Lynskey simply because i found/find her so compelling! I hope that she has more air-time on “The L Word” in any event!
Man, I thought this post was going to be about a new Linux distro.
