When Temple told me to start watching tGW, I'll admit I looked at her oddly. Then I watched an ep. Then two. Then two seasons and caught up. There is something fabulous about the way this show embraces female sexuality as a tool of power (not a weapon, mind, but power) and allows these women - and men, frankly - to be competent over and above appearance. And that the writers are so remarkably in time with all sorts of aspects of culture and willing to write complex, season long story arcs like it's nothing.

Odd note: they cast Zach really well - I can actually see Peter in his facial structure, as he gets older.
