Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (September 28, 2007)

WHO DO I SUE FOR EMOTIONAL DAMAGES?
The fourth season of Boston Legal debuted this week with new cast member Saffron Burrows, and there's no other way to describe her story line — in which she repeatedly and inexplicably seduces James Spader's character — except as a crime against humanity. You can see glimpses of one of their elevator trysts in this promo, but don't say you haven't been warned:

Look, I like a woman in a power suit as much as the next lesbian, but not when she exists solely to fulfill some bizarre straight male fantasy of hot female lawyers who treat court like a nightclub, complete with using words like "orgasmic" and "hard" in their courtroom summation while glancing seductively at the opposing attorney. Bailiff, please remove this travesty from the courtroom!

Look for more ranting about this by Sarah and Lori in the "Who thought that was a good idea?" section of this weekend's She Made Me Watch This.

I give the ratings board an L for Lame.
