So far I have to confess that these two clips I’ve found and shared have been a bit of a disappointment and a letdown. They are the only two I’ve watched in full, so far, of about 20 total clips on youtube pertaining to this episode. Perhaps the others, including one where Elizabeth Perkins’s character “dirty dances” in the club with the black man, will be better.
But right now this is a perfect example of when you build up such hype and have such anticipation of something that the reality is anti-climactic. I knew the sex scene would be dark as it takes place in a parking lot at night. But the clip only shows about 2 seconds of the sex and it’s from a distance; all you can see is some kissing in the darkness. Perhaps I’ll find one that shows the sex in full.
Even the dialogue between Perkins and her husband lacked arousal. It was cold and emotionless with no heat at all. It was sterile and unemotional. I have to admit a bit of a “California bias” came into play while viewing it. My immediate thought was only a jaded California couple could be so blasé’, glib, detached and indifferent to such a revelation and the act of infidelity.
Still it’s Elizabeth Perkins fucking, and talking about fucking, a black guy so how bad could it be? It’s kind of like getting a blow job with just a bit too much teeth—it’s not the best blowjob you’ve ever had but your dick is still in a woman’s mouth which is never a bad thing!! Plus more clips await for my viewing so maybe they’ll prove more satisfying. As it is I would still very much like to see this on dvd as I assume season one is available. Just a shame they never followed up on this story line, particularly in the way I described in an earlier post!
