Californication: Season 7, Episode 4 “Dicks” (B+)
This show just keeps on rolling, opting to feature only its recurring females instead of its regular female players, but to a good degree of success. We got to see Mary Lynn Rajskub, who returned to her TV role on “24” earlier this week, do more than just throw up, and it turns out that Goldie is quite a nut. In a worrisome way, she’s just right for Charlie, getting off on morally wrong and dangerous situations, completely unaware of how she is perceived by other people. Let’s hope that Charlie’s bathroom trip is the worst of his indiscretions, or Marcy is going to murder both him and Goldie. I’m also less than confident that having Goldie in charge of the show would be any better than having Rick where he is now. Julia didn’t have much trouble landing the part thanks to Rick’s infatuation with her, and she does seem naive enough not to be concerned with what happens next, if her flirting via dental cleaning is any indication. Levon, on the other hand, continues to be all too obvious about his feelings for Melanie, who, to her credit, is proving merely to be unsophisticated and concerned about status rather than truly unkind. Levon is managing to keep his head up despite repeated bad decisions, and, given his nature, I’m sure that he’ll be happy rather than distraught when Hank and Julia eventually sleep together, regardless of how Hank feels about it given that neverending obsession he has with Karen.
