He had that whole "Hell-A" rant about how the city corrupts its women. He loved Karen and Becca and often found himself in sexual scenarios where he tried, but failed his relationship with the adulteress, for example. But now, he's taking oral sex from drunk grieving widows behind tombstones and his apathy is sort of comical rather than earnest.

The show has developed little trademarks for the characters I can't quote Hank's - it involves profanity that is turning it more and more into a silly sitcom. It's no wonder that Hank seems to be appealing more to the masses now as a character, since he is essentially turning into a caricature - a sort of idiot manchild that Hank in season one would have railed against.

Also, as much as I love Runkle and how pathetic he is, his relationship with Hank has become more ridiculous than ever. In the early seasons Hank had a brotherly relationship with him, but they were still pretty straightforward with each other. Runkle still acted respectfully around Hank, to preserve his status as an agent, and inquired into his personal life when he thought he had hit rock bottom. Remember in the pilot episode how he asked Hank whether he was OK, needed help, etc.?

Told him to get it together? Now, Runkle is basically just the butt end of jokes when Hank is around. And he doesn't seem to care much about his friend's spiraling out of control, such as when he brings him pot to his rehab center. I'm truly shocked that Kapinos is still the one writing this show. It amazes me that the creator of season one would allow the show to devolve like this, let alone be the sole person responsible for it.

Aggressive Mediocrity And Then Showtime Networks. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 28 minutes. Dolby Digital. A couple of weeks ago, while spending the weekend at the Hilton Checkers Hotel , I stumbled upon a filming location I had been meaning to stalk for quite some time — a former cathedral named Vibiana located in Downtown Los Angeles. While walking back to the hotel after grabbing a Starbucks : , I saw what looked like a wedding being set up outside of a church.

So, I was pretty much jumping up and down with excitement when I realized what I had stumbled upon. The woman who had stopped me was extremely amused at my thrill over seeing Vibiana in person and was nice enough to let me step inside to take a peek at the former church and snap some photos. Kyson, the very same architect who designed the Pico House. For many years St.

Thankfully, preservationists stepped in and literally stopped the wrecking ball mid-swing. After a time consuming and much heated debate between the city, the archdiocese, and preservationists, the city decided to give the archdiocese a larger piece of land in exchange for the damaged church. Today, the former cathedral is used as an events venue, hosting everything from weddings to corporate parties.

Whitney chooses the former cathedral and suggests running a long carpet down the aisle to be used as the fashion show runway and setting up photo booths in the confessionals. Since the name of the church was written right across the screen in both episodes, finding this location was a snap.

The former church also showed up very briefly in a controversial scene in the pilot episode of the David Duchovny series Californication.

Only the interiors of Vibiana were used for that scene, though. The exteriors were filmed about ten miles away at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I highly recommend stalking Vibiana as it is absolutely gorgeous inside! I would so love to have a wedding there! Although the property is not currently open to the public, you can stalk the exterior and maybe someone will be nice enough to let you take a peek inside.

You can also cyberstalk the building here. If you are interested in hosting an event at the former church, you can contact the events coordinator here. First off let me wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving! Yesterday, while doing some Venice Beach stalking, I visited a location I have long been obsessed with finding — the house from the David Duchovny series Californication.
