Daddy, What's a Lesbian?

Been enjoying the Seinfeld DVDs. So nice to be able to watch episodes at a reasonable hour. I've even watched a couple episodes twice, so I could hear the audio commentary, which is mostly people laughing at themselves. Still.

"The Subway" is a great episode, but I made the mistake of watching it while CJ was still up. She's seen a few others and, in the way of seven year olds, she likes it well enough. Probably the appeal of Kramer is universal. George is harder to understand: "Lupus?! Is it Lupus?!"

In "The Subway" they all go their separate ways and we see them all behaving true to character. Elaine is on her way to be "Best man at a lesbian wedding." The scene where she talks to a woman on her train is excellent. Then CJ pipes up, "Daddy, what's a lesbian?"

George meets a woman on his train. He's supposed to be on his way to a second interview, but this woman persuades him to come back to her hotel. She tells him to get comfortable and goes into the bathroom. George decides to take his shoes off and sit on the bed. She comes out of the bathroom in a negligee. Next thing, he's in his shorts and socks and she's handcuffing him to the bed. CJ pipes up, "Daddy, what's the lady doing?"

It's like they know.

Also been watching Alias season 2 on DVD, borrowed from a friend. I'd already seen most of it, but it's always worth watching again. So good, and so packed with guest stars. And so preposterous, in its way, with its DNA shapeshifting agents and concerns with Rambaldi manuscripts. Until you see documentaries about the real CIA and their experiments with psychics and agents walking through walls etc.

Always worth getting an Alias DVD set, just to see the blooper reel at the end. Now that's comedy.
