Is this because I'm a lesbian?

geebsAlas, its too bad I missed last weeks L&O where Serena gets fired and says the totally from out of left field "Is this because I'm a lesbian?" line. And the fact that it one is the last minute is just too funny! I mean, that is indeed the most awesome send-off for a character ever, I think. For those of you who don't watch L&O, at no point in the four years she was on the show do they even portray her as anything remotely close to a lesbian. I like someone's comment on the TWoP forums comparing it to the Poochie send off on Itchy and Scratchy when they dub over Homer's heartfelt goodbye speach and then have the badly written tag at the end saying "On the way to his home planet, Poochie died".
I know, I'm like a week late on all this. But I was reading the TWoP recap on the last week's OC and they got to the part where DJ leaves Marissa because she's just totally using him to piss off her mom. So they recapped him as leaving and then Marissa being all, "Is this because I'm a lesbian?" Ha! Its funny on multiple levels, particularly because the previews have been showing Marissa as getting all lesbianic with Alex. Its right up there with the reference to Friends' Ross "Over me? When were you under me?" in the recap of DC's second ep of the fifth season. (Actually, I just noticed those recaps were both written by the same recapper.) Which is why TWoP is awesome, because the recappers watch as much TV as I do, and make obscure references to eps of various TV shows, like I do all the time.
Though, thinking about it, it only encourages my really bad habit of making seeming non-sequiturs and like talking all of a sudden about something to people without giving them a reference point. You know, like I'll see someone on some TV show, and then all of a sudden seque into talking about something the actor/actress spouse of some other actor/actress who was in a movie with someone who once guest starred on the show currently on the telly, and expect people to understand what the hell I'm talking about. I'll say, "I heard he did X?" and forget people have no idea who "he" is because they didn't make the same connections that my head did.
