The other day I began to rewatch "Swingtown" on netflix. There was only one season of this wonderful show, and while I missed most of it when it was on TV, I caught up on the season in all of about 3 days once I found it on netflix.
Was definitely craving it again-- The clothes, the music, the fantastic attention to detail in the scenery, sweet Susan, and best of all, Trina. She's just one of the most adorable characters I think I've ever seen. Always the party host, fun, thoughtful, caring, seemingly confident, but a bit fragile. And pretty damn hot. She easily carries off some crazy 70s swimsuits, and of course, looks amazing in her disco dresses.
So, there are these moments in these early episodes of the season so far where you (or is it just me?) gets the feeling that something could develop between the two leading ladies, Susan and Trina. Like, I was watching Episode 2 yesterday and there's a scene where Trina is holding Susan's earring which had been left behind at the night of the 2 couples' encounter, and looking at it longingly with this smirky little half-smile. Then cut to Susan who is holding the other earring and looking at it with pretty much the same expression. And I found myself thinking, Damn, this show would be 100 times more enjoyable if Susan and Trina were to have a thing. A hot, passionate, intense thing that they would never regret in the morning. They wouldn't have to leave their husbands or anything, I'm sure those guys would be into it! So I'm not talking huge lifestyle changes for these gorgeous ladies of the 70s, just some sexy exploration that I, as a viewer, could watch!
Now, granted, this show was on network television, not cable, so it wouldn't have a ton of nudity or anything, but I just don't care! To see these two fantastic women enjoying each other would just be ... I don't know the words-- just perfect, pretty much! Maybe if that had happened, there would have been a 2nd season of the show. ;) Just sayin'!
