108. 'Damages'

We have come only recently to pray at the altar of Damages, but what we lack in experience we make up in ardour. We watched Season One in three days, sitting on the edge of the sofa, clutching cushions, occasionally turning to look at each other in wide-eyed astonishment/bewilderment. We had to put a hiatus on Season Two.

It's the kind of show that you couldn't watch week to week because you would literally die of anticipation.

Plus you get to watch Glenn Close's ever-evolving facial work. It's sad, really. It was once a wonderful face, and now she looks like a Muppet.

Pour yourself a Hendricks and tonic and settle in. But don't expect your social life not to suffer.

    Yes. I share your sadness. Glenn Close looked very attractive when she was on "The Shield," but then she allowed someone to do something horrible to her face. When Season 2 debuted, I was shocked at how bizarre Glenn looked and how sickly thin Rose had become. Really depressing and distracting.

    Stick with it, though -- Season 3 was a great improvement over Season 2 in many ways. For one thing, Close's botox seemed to have finally worn off and she once again looks human.

  3. They put you on a pedestal, look up to you...and then blame you for the crick in their necks.
