cdybedahlA couple of days ago, I found out that Hudson Leick was on CSI back in November. So of course I had to download that. While looking at her IMDb entry, I also saw that she'd been on Fastlane. So I had to get that too. And while I was getting that, I got the one episode from that series I'd heard about. The one with Tiffani Thiessen snogging Jaime Pressly. In a hot tub, among other places.
Fully expecting nothing but lesploitation, I just watched it. And was somewhat positively surprised. The episode is actually a pretty good demonstration of the difference between just plain gay and slashy. I think. Some of the scenes between Billie (Thiessen) and Sara (Pressly) fall clearly under the "just gay" heading, like them being out on a fairly ordinary date or flirting in a nightclub. Other things were definitely slashy. Like first showing the two male main characters not being able to pretend to kiss each other even when they needed to, and soon after showing Billie not even hesitating before kissing another woman. Or Billie dodging Sara's "why are you doing this?" after she's offered Sara a deal that'll keep her out of prison. Or Billie being asked if she ever misses going undercover, thinking about dancing with Sara in the nightclub and then answering in the affirmative. Other scenes were a lot hotter (see above about snogging and hot tub, for example), but these were more fun. Because they were about personalities and feelings, and not just good-looking bodies.
