What's "The Wire" about? I keep hearing about it, though I hadn't until about a week and a half ago.

CJ was from L.A. Law, yes? Amanda Donahoe's character?
Yep. Mmm... CJ.
Man, I had a huge old girl crush on her. I even watched the Lifetime remake of Shame for Amanda Donahoe. Those were the days.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I remember Bayliss as saying something along the lines of "just because I've had sex with men doesn't mean I'm gay."
But was it a regular thing? Or was it just that one time?

I think he did date other guys (including another cop) in S7. I can't be sure, because H:LotS w/o Pembleton (and with Michael Michelle) did little to keep me as a regular viewer.

He caught flack from the department about having a website that listed his interests in (a)Buddhism (b) bisexuality and (c) law enforcement all on the same page.

Okay, thanks Matt. Glad to hear I can forgive him now for the bicurious line.

The Wire is a cops&criminals show that takes place in Baltimore. The big deal is the excellent continuity, mind-numbing (yet often fascinating) details of police work and criminal enterprises, and great characters. You really have to pay-attention to make this show work for you. I would think it's tough to get into without seeing the first season.
I love it for the dialog, characters, character interaction and cool 'verse. Same things I loved about Buffy. Plus there's some hot men, and one kick-ass female detective. The often overwhelming and low-key ways of expressing all the details sometimes gets to me, but then they will all click into place in certain eps, leave me going "Ohmygod!" and "oh shit!"

I remember it being a big thing at the time that his character was going out on a date with Peter Gallagher's. The "I'm straight, I was just really drunk that night" excuse doesn't work so well when you meet for dinner and a show first.

"You know what they say about payback? Well, I'm the bitch." - Fred on 'supersymmetry'
Nice essay on Buffy's impact on the portrayla of lesbians on television.
yay! I'm practically jumping in my seat because the writer of that article not only noticed, by commended the series for how it portrayed lesbian/bisexual characters. And while they pointed out the grumbling over Tara's death, it didn't overshadow the rest of the praise.
I guess I didn't notice that the scene with Willow and Kennedy was "the first" lesbian sex scene on tv either. Probably because it just seemed normal to me. And, yes, I consider the "I'm Under Your Spell" scene to be a sex scene too. Certainly the lyrics to the song were sexy enough.
While I watch "ER" occassionally, the lesbian material with Weaver isn't nearly as romantic as it was on "Buffy". *sigh*
Yes. Need more bisexuality on network (or any!) TV.
I SO totally agree!!!

Our wings are not tired.
I had no clue it was "the first" lesbian sex scene on network TV either. But I watch so little that I just wrongly assumed it happens elsewhere. Huh.
Also, in my version Willow is bisexual. Unless Joss personally tells me otherwise.
Despite my dislike of Kennedy in particular and my lack of interest in girl on girl action in general I did think the scene was hot.
