Goodbye Lew Ashby. After 11 episodes of metal-rocker decadence, Californication says goodbye to Lew Ashby.
At the end of episode 11, Lew took a page from Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic.” But, instead of finding a little rain on his wedding day, Lew’s heart gave out on the night he was supposed to reunite with his long lost love.
Since the episode ended with Hank failing to revive Lew from his drug induced seizure, there is the offbeat chance that Lew isn’t dead. He may just make a miraculous comeback.
Right?
Let’s just say don’t hold your breath.
Lew’s character follows the formulaic pattern of newly introduced characters on Dexter. First, the character is introduced and you’re on the fence about where he’ll fit into the shows deliberate plot line. You like the character. Next, you hate the character. Then somewhere before the end of the season you think, “Hey this is a great character.” Finally, that character gets killed off.
It will probably happen to Miguel Prado, but this isn’t about Prado. It’s about Californication.
This last episode had everything in a Californication episode we’ve come to love. Hank gets called out for the lecherous person he is by a girl from Rolling Stones magazine. Charlie decides younger is the way to go and dumps Marcy for his “porno ho.” Marcy, back from rehab and pissed off at her husband’s lack of interest and Daisy’s husband-lust, kicks off an all out cat fight involving every woman at the party. Let’s not forget a little emotional turmoil on the sad side of things. The kids. Becca finds out the hard way that her soul-mate is nothing more than an average guy when she catches him making out with another another girl.
Men suck. Yeah, I said it.
When Californication concludes for Season 2 Karen will be off to New York - without Hank. And we’ll see what sparks fly in the Runkle household when Charlie tries to make a life with everyone’s favorite Vaginatown “porno-ho,” Daisy.
Lew Ashby spinoff.. Now! Or the kitten gets hurt! BADLY!
Well NotHank,
I have to say it took me a while to decide whether or not I should respond to your comment.
My first inclination was to lash out at you for your idiotic statement on equality with a long drawn out response.
But then I realized sophomoric statement from someone as yourself requires a sophomoric response. Men don’t all suck. Just you and people like you.
Have a nice day
xoxo
Men don’t suck, Alexis.
Despite what the feminists claim, men and women are _not_ equal, equivalent, equi-capable, or whatever other bullshit PC-term has been coined. Trying to overcome men’s genetic program to mate with as many women as possible requires a constant application of force, in the case from a State- and church-sanctioned construct.
I don’t blame Hank, Charlie, Lew, or most men for wanting for fuck every attractive woman who will let them. Nor do I blame most women for wanting to settle down with one man and feel an intimate, protective, empowering bond.
Lew Ashby was hotter than Duchovny! Loved that character and the banter between Lew and Hank. Please tell me you did not kill him off……
Sad day. Sad sad day. If i was the type to spill liquor I would.
the writers are fiucking morons for killing Lew. I can’t believe this. they better find a good fuckin replacement for next season.
Lew was great, but he’s no where near Gaius Baltar on Battlestar Galactica. he’s by far the greatest character on tv!!
Damn! He was my favorite TV character in years! :-(((
This really sucks! Lew was totally awesome in this role. I liekd them going back and forth and fighting over girls. I mean i guess they could have taken him out as a main character, but he is someone i would have looked forward to seeing in the third season( so happy about that by the way).
I don’t get why they have to kill characters. I guess it shows it’s life, and it was funny in a dark sort of way - i guess that’s what makes californication so great? anyway love you lew and you ‘ll be missed xo
NOT LEW ASHBY FOR CHRISTS SAKE! HE WAS THE PERFECT ROBIN TO HANK’S BATMAN!!
