Good episode. Missed some of the dialogue due to a bickering in my house, even after I shut the door. :roll:


Spoiler follows if you haven't seen season 1 (or parts of it):
-------------------------------------------------------


The baby is actually just Gina's and some other guy's. Gina assumed that Christian was the father, but if the child was black, it couldn't have been Christian's.

Anyways, Gina told Christian that she was pregnant, and she assumed the baby was his. Apparently it was not since he was black (which they didn't find out until the baby was born). Well for the last couple of episodes, Christian took it upon himself that he wants to become a father, so he preps himself for it. Apparently he felt that he couldn't give up on Wilbur even though he is not of his own blood. Most of this is from the season 1 finale.

Whats the deal with Chris raising the black baby that isn't his. I don' get the story line with that? Clue me in.

If you watched the season finale of Season 1, it makes sense. Christian met Gina at a Sexaholics Anonymous convention, slept with her and then didn't see her for a while. She then showed up pregnant with what was supposed to be his baby. Supposedly, she slept with a black guy who got her pregnant, but she didn't realize this until the baby was born. Christian knows it isn't his child but he wants a family of his own so he took it upon himself to raise the baby.

That aside, loved the season premiere for Season 2 and can't wait for next Tuesday. :D

I just hope the FCC doesn't force FX to cancel it, cause they are definitely pushing the envelope even more....

The FCC shouldn't have any say in this, they only regulate over the air broadcasts, not cable. I missed the first 20 minutes, not on again till friday?

You mean Christian's ex (or whatever she was/is)? She should be, you can catch a couple of glimpses of her in the preview.

I'm curious if anyone is planning on recording this tonight? I might be at work until 10 CST, so I might miss it.

err, less compression is good. else the image degrades. i've seen this on other tv box sets where they try to over cram discs full of eps.
