Dirty Sexy Resurrection
That’s right people. We’ve risen from the dead (aka The Strike) and we’re back with more chapters about America’s richest family and more importantly: I’m back with this blog. HOORAY! Let me start by telling you the absolute truth – and not because my paycheck depends on it (it does). This season will be bigger and bolder than the first. I mean, the episode starts on a friggin’ yacht, at a party thrown by the Darlings for Nick’s birthday. What’s better than that? If I had a yacht, I would stare out into the deep blue abyss and contemplate life’s most significant questions, such as: why is there Braille on the drive-thru ATM machines? Or why do raw almonds always taste stale? I may never have enough money to buy a yacht and ask myself those questions, but I can tell you a little bit more about this week’s premiere episode. BOOYAH! So let’s get to it.
In “THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT,” we pick up six months after where we left off -- Nick George has accepted his role as the Darling family lawyer and it looks like things have smoothed out with his wife Lisa -- or have they? Last we saw Lisa, she smooched Jeremy Darling, and afterward she said it couldn’t happen again. Did Jeremy listen, or is he just obsessed with the one woman he can’t have?
Patrick Darling reconciles with his father, Tripp, but he’s still lovesick over his transsexual-lover, Carmelita, who went missing at the end of last season. He continues searching for her much to the chagrin of Tripp and Ellen, Patrick’s wife. Will Patrick give up his pursuit and recommit to Ellen, or will he continue and jeopardize his Senate campaign?
Karen Darling is still spying (and sleeping) with Simon Elder. It’s a fact that sleeping with someone is the best way to learn his/her secrets. (Ladies, I’m single.) Is Karen starting to fall for Simon, or is she just using him to get secrets for her daddy, Tripp Darling?
In the last episode, Brian left the church and started to work for the family. His son, Brian Jr. went to live with his mom, Andrea, in Brazil. In this episode they’re back visiting Brian in the Imperial.
This is just a taste of what is going to happen on Wednesday night. I haven’t even mentioned yet that Lucy Liu joined the cast. What does she do? Who cares! She’s Lucy Liu!
This season, I promise to answer all of your questions, so send them in and I’ll answer them in the next week’s blog. And one more thing: someone at the end of this episode gets arrested.

Darling Fact of the Week: Jeremy Darling had a porno tape of Buddy Ebsen doing the nasty.

Dear Dave, I can't wait! I'm from the Netherlands so I'll have to wait longer, but I guess it's worth the wait. Wish I could watch it online and pay-per-view. The writer and his team are doing a marvellous job; I thought I couldn't love a series more than I love Grey's, but you guys proved me wrong...So please, please, please give this all you've got 'cause I couldn't bear it if the series wouldn't last past season two, like "What about Brian" another fave of mine. You wrote you're single? Too bad I'm married, hey but what the heck, I'm from Amsterdam and I'd love to learn all your (DSM) secrets!!(LOL)No, we're not thát promiscuous actually, although I do wish I actually wás Karen Darling instead of just looking like her...LOL...not.
Best, good luck, Tara

What is the name of the song when we first see lucy liu in the bar as she is walking out? I believe it goes mirror mirror on the wall.
If you know of this song please post.

cannot see season 2 online!! where is episode 1 of season 2!? I see the adds, but no episode - help!

Will Tripp get a storyline of his own at some point? I mean something personal as opposed to just trying to pull everyone else's strings? In the premiere, he reminded me of the Godfather! Doesn't Donald Sutherland's talent deserve something better, something deeper? I certainly think so... and by the way, I just love the colourful ties! :)

I miss Carmelita, but I'm looking forward to the awesome plottyness that her current disappearance will bring. Fully expect to see more of her.
PS: are you actually single? *wink*

Posted by: meredith | October 08, 2008 at 09:05 AM
I,too, was wondering what the name of that song is that hockey19 asked about. Mirror mirror on the wall...? Anyone? Thanks.

Posted by: jm boone | October 08, 2008 at 08:20 PM
I love the show and the music! On "The Family Lawyer" what is the song playing when Simon & Karen are in the bathtub and leading to the next scene? It would be great to see some music credits. Thanks!

I love this show and this season is FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see what happens next. =)

WOW, you can see fans your are not happy with the departure of Juliet. Please bring her back. We need her! Please please hear your fans...! Bring her back as a regular cast member and not as a guest. To bring her on as a guest will be an insult to your fans! It's bad enough you took her off the bios and never mentioned her in the first episode.
Your young female fan base!

Please bring Juliet back. She and her twin were my favorite characters. It was crazy that it seems she never existed on the show. And I really think it is crazy for Jeremy to go after Nick's wife. She is pretty but she seems to old for him. Please bring back Juliet. All of last season she was in every episode. Now she has vanished. Even if she is played by someone else...BRING BACK JULIET!!!!
