‘Friends with Benefits’ Does Mardi Gras

Episodes seven and eight of Friends with Benefits, here we go.

Gratuitous bikini-clad women for the win! Not so pleased about the bikini-clad men, because they’re playing it for laughs.

“I don’t know what [Gollum] is because I’m pretty.” Excuse me, Sara?

Bechdel pass! (:

Sara does not look good in the hot pink wig.

Aaron is entertaining when drunk.

Bathroom humor. Joy.

Miscommunication. Even more joy.

Left the baby shower a little late, haven’t they?

Sara’s professionalism STILL SUCKS. Why did she not take Grace to a hospital?

Not the best episode ever, but not the worst. On to the next!

I thought Ben got fired for sexual harassment; what’s he doing back at work in this economy? Also, any episode that starts out with porn jokes is going to be awkward.

…a vegan meal does not ‘balance out’ a leather jacket, Sara. But Bechdel pass! (:

What’s Sara doing assisting in pediatric surgery? She’s an OB/GYN.

Dr. Lansdale is a bit of a creep for hitting on Riley, who can’t be more than half his age.

Riley has some…interesting contacts.

I love how watching porn is presented as perfectly normal. Also, way to go Mary/’Liza’ for figuring out what she wants and going for it.

Sara’s professionalism STILL SUCKS. Accepting a surgical role in exchange for getting her doctor crush another date with her friend? Seriously?

Ben and Fitz are being jerks to Lana and Noah. Surprise surprise.

Aaron thinks he’s being chivalrous for doing away with Liza Blue’s porn career but he is really, really not.

I can understand Riley being scared of telling men a flat no. Rape culture ahoy. I don’t think it’s about her father at all.

Not impressed with this episode either. I’m feeling more and more sympathy with NBC’s decision to cancel the series. I’m probably still buying the DVDs just to have the images of Danneel Ackles in bras and bikinis, though. *is shallow*
