Simply Red
Starring: Ruth Fisher, Claire Fisher, Alicia Witt, Thora Birch, Eric Stoltz, and Julianne Moore.
Plot: An extended clan of redheads bands together to fight off a crazed film director with a fetish for sassy teens who's been stalking them for years. Wacky hijinx ensue.
And just when I thought it couldn't get any better than Claire being all cute and sweet, we immediately cut to a strip club. All right! Now this is my idea of a finale. Hell, throw in a midget and an alien-invasion cliffhanger, and it would be the best damn show ever. In any event, Rico and the dance instructor sip their drinks and ogle a stripper who looks oddly familiar. The bad news is that my TiVo cut off the end credits, so I can't check and see who the actress is. The good news is that there are people in the forums who watch even more TV than I do, and they were easily able to identify her as former MTV VJ Idalis. You know, I don't know too much about her VJing skills, and to be perfectly honest, she's not a very good stripper. I can say, however, that she's got one hell of a plastic surgeon. Those are some sweet implants. And besides, would you rather have Martha Quinn? Idalis gives Rico a little wink, and the smile he offers in return makes him look even more like a twelve-year-old kid than he already does. And that's hard to do. Fk = 47.
Brenda and Joe are wrapping up their date by standing silently on the lawn between their apartments, and Joe finally decides to break the tension with...a forehead kiss? What's up with that? Then he redeems himself by going in for the real thing, and Brenda doesn't exactly push him away. She does, however, break it off rather quickly, and then heads back into her apartment with a jaunty little stride. Joe stays out on the lawn, and I'm betting that's the last we'll ever see of him. Eh, whatever. He wasn't that bad, but Brenda still belongs with Nate. And even Billy would be more interesting than this guy. ["You're fired. That guy's hot. He can and should stay on the show forever." -- Wing Chun] FK = 47.
Back at the strip club, Rico is propped up against wall, drunk out of his mind. The stripper from before comes over and introduces herself as "Infinity." Because "Idalis" just wasn't symbolic enough, I guess. On the other hand, that's about as close as we're going to get to a Pot = ∞ reference this week, so I'll take what I can get ["And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning." -- Exodus 30:7]. Rico basically makes a drunken fool out of himself here, but Idalis doesn't care. She just thinks he's cute, in a tiny Latino elf sort of way. Aww. Strippers in love. Fk = 47.
