Didn't you watch it Bubba? biggrin.gif

I think tonight's episode could have been better. I know the whole 'Molly as Bambi' skit was to showcase Debra's comedic talents, but for me it really took away from the story tonight. Otherwise I basically enjoyed it again.

Since we know Lou walked into the ocean, we know know Sam didn't kill him. He might have been the one who went into the house and took the money, pen and stationery.

Wait a minute....since Lou's original note/letter he was writing must've disappeared then whoever stole his stationery and money might have written the new will the detective's mentioned at the end???

I thought it was good. The Molly/Bambi thing wasn't as funny as I think it was supposed to be but I loved Molly's fantasys about Sam. The beach kiss From Here to Eternity bit was hot...and then funny. I loved her fantasy after she leaves his 'home' in the clearing where he lays her down on that beautiful bed and then says "I was just kidding. I have a job in middle management." I laughed long and loud at that one.

I've always like Debra Messing and that Stephen Moyer is hot-hot-hot!! Who cares if he's homeless? Yummy!

I'M HANGING ON TO THE STORY LINE OF MOLLY AND LOU! Maybe Sams bandade was at LOU'S ,Because he saved Lou from taking the fatal plunge ! Like when he saved Molly. "A LIFE WORTH SAVING"! AND THEEN THE STICK IT TO kENNY! "lets get this party started!"

'The Starter Wife': Sadly, We're Still Hooked
After last week's riveting two-hour premiere of The Starter Wife, we were worried that this week's installment -- a scrawny 60 minutes long -- would let us down. But lo and behold, the characters became more absurd, and acted out in exponentially more ridiculous ways as their strange, shallow little lives came crashing down all around them. So, to continue with our series of recaps, we're here to give you a rundown on everything that happened to our new favorite characters last night -- from fantasy sequences shot in black and white to the case of the mysterious bloody band-aid -- after the jump.

Molly Kagan (Debra Messing): Poor Molly. To quote the Bard, "The course of true love never did run smooth!". She can't get mean hot mystery man Sam off her brain, nor can she stop thinking about the man-who-stood-her-up, her ex-husband's boss, Lou. Molly likes Lou. Molly likes Sam. Molly learns that Lou didn't stand her up -- he disappeared! She gets called in for police questioning. And the spends most of the episode asking some questions herself, namely, who is Sam, really? The only real answer she gets is that Sam is homeless. And that he likes Philip Roth. Could his homelessness and penchant for contemporary Jewish fiction possibly be linked to Joe's disappearance??? Also, this week, Molly is obsessed not with her weight, but with the bags under her eyes. She uses Pond's products which, clearly, aren't helping.

Joan MacAllister (Judy Davis): Pretending to want to be in rehab isn't fun anymore! Even having to vacation in France with her old man ex-husband is starting to sound better than this, so dear Joan hatches a plot where she makes up an absurd story about her evil sister Bambi and about how her unresolved issues with Bambi are what drove her to drink. She then sneaks away from her therapist long enough to call Molly and fill her in the scheme... and convince Molly to make an appearance at her rehab facility posing as Bambi in order to spring her. Our heart grows sadder and sadder with each passing minute: Why did the brilliant Judy Davis accept this role? Anyway, Joan gets sprung and goes back home to Malibu, only to find that Molly has invited some others to move-in to her Malibu home as well.

Cricket Stewart (Miranda Otto): While at yoga class, Cricket hears a woman making fun of Molly and Cricket kicks her while she assumes Warrior 3. Could we be getting our little Cricket back? Could this the first sign that she's on the path back to Molly? Then Cricket finds out about her external rectal opening husband and the slutty Russian nanny. She swiftly throws external rectal opening husband and slutty Russian nanny out of her home, and then runs off to (where else?) Joan's home in Malibu. She and Molly kiss and make-up and swear they'll never be lonely again.

Lavender (Anika Noni Rose): Lavender the security guard and her sassy grandma get evicted for no reason at all from their apartment. [Of course they did! They're black! - Ed.] Molly invites Lavender and her grandma and their little dog to move in with her at Joan's Malibu pad. Ah, the benevolence of the white folk! Lavender and Molly also talk about how happy they are to be friends and swear they'll never be lonely again.

Rodney (Chris Diamantopoulos): Molly's #1 gay/decorator is inexplicably broke. He has not a dollar to his name and can't pay his bills. So, off he trots to join Molly and Cricket and Joan and Lavender in Malibu. Of course! No financial resolution is in sight, though some ugly straight-edged dude does want to do him.

Sam (Stephen Moyer): Sam is still super mysterious, but slightly-less mean. He takes Molly on a date to Starbucks and pays in change... because that's what homeless men do. He tells Molly he can't offer her stability, but he would love to make love to her. He also casually mentions to Molly that he's homeless because five years ago he killed a man! Oh, and also his bloody band-aid and a glass with his saliva on it were found at the home of Molly's other beau, Lou, the night of Lou's disappearance. Coincidence? And could Sam be the mystery man we saw sneaking into Lou's home and stealing money and stationary?

And most importantly. what does Philip Roth have to do with any of this? Next Thursday just can't come fast enough!

No, I didn't get to watch it this week. I was watching something else that ran during the same time.

I don't think they are paying very close attention - or else it is ME not paying attention....I thought Joan was still married to Pappy? Also, Molly and Grandma got evicted over th edog...not their color??? Not sure what they meant in referring to Rodney's ACCOUNTANT wanting to hit on him....he didn't seem ugly or weird to me....
