http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/25/CALIFORNICATION----Girls-Interrupted.aspx After a brief one-episode hiatus, CALIFORNIATION is starting to heat up again – in more ways than one.  This time out of the gate, the show is a perfect mix of sex, humor and pathos, especially the last.  Hank Moody’s daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin) is not particularly optimistic about life. She reads her dad a Robert Frost poem she likes because of its message, “How nothing good ever lasts.  It all turns to shit like you and mom.” Moody (David Duchovny) wants her to hold on to the possibilities.  “Happy endings may get a bad rep” he tells her.  “But they do happen.” In fact, he’s hoping for one himself.  “Action between him and Karen (Natascha McElhone) heated up a tad in the last episode, and this time around, he tells her, “I hope to get to second base.” Moody is not the only one who may be getting action this week.  His agent Charlie (Evan Handler) has not been doing the nasty with his wife Marcy (Pamela Adlon) of late.  Partly this is due to the guilt he feels for spending office time spanking his assistant, Dani (Rachel Miner), but a solution may be at hand.  To spark things up, Marcy wants to try a threesome – and with Dani no less. Even Moody looks like he’s getting closer to Karen.  She’s an architect and he arranges a really great commission for her.  To celebrate, he may have a threesome of his own – Hank, Karen and Becca for dinner.  And Becca has to go to sleep some time. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/25/CALIFORNICATION----Girls-Interrupted.aspx 77 60
