Prisoner of Love (Season 1 Episode 10)

Here's what I liked most about episode 10: during it, the camera pans over a couple of Frank Stella pieces, which happens in episode 9, too! Coincidence or conspiracy?

Either way, Prisoner of Love has a Robert Mapplethorpe-y theme, which you'd think I would like. But the episode lacks any characters who aren't either villains or grossed out by the S&M scene, and I couldn't find anyone to identify with.

The highlight of the episode is Frances Conroy (the mom from Six Feet Under), a supposedly rich and fancy New Yorker who lives at 615 Central Park West, which, if real, would be smack dab in a part of Harlem that featured mostly burned out buildings in 1990.

The sort of Stella seen in episode 10; episode 9 featured the pinstripe-y kind.

I hope (super) Eggs gets to write a review soon. I'd be interested in his opinion.

Not to spoil the surprise, but he's been practicing his typing. Stay tuned!

Very nice site. I am not a fan to the point where the whole world stops for me to watch all of the Law and Orders, but when I have time I do like to watch all of the shows. I havn't seen all of the episodes of course, so watching the reruns on TNT or wherever is very nice.
