I find her character very amusing, in that soap operatic sort of "wtf is going to happen to Tara next" way. Kinda like the day time character who has been in a coma since she was hit by a train on her way back from the kidney dialysis treatment where she ran into the man who posed as her father as a child but was really an escaped serial killer from Portugal... ya know?

anywho... just curious

Tara's lesbianism is boring. It doesn't fit her character AT ALL. Why would she turn to a woman? Why would she be in some obviously rigged girl-on-girl fight scene?

It just feels like HBO's playing to the straight male crowd who always want to see girls hook up. That mentality is just gross to me. Let me caveat this with I don't see that mentality in your statement, Jess, but I do see it in some folks who watch this show. They seem to get titillated by it and that bugs me.

Especially when it's half-assed soft porn that's not even very good porn.
