Celebrating the second season of Californication

here,what I thought about the women in Californication s1
Hank’s women season 1
Karen: she is the Romantic, Ideal Partner : she's smart,sweet,indipendent and beautiful.In the past she loved him,but also betrayed him.A bless man is an angry man…but he keeps on loving her,because she's his Muse,he wrote for her,only for her eyes…She's the Mother of their daughter.But he did not marry her.Is he maybe scared by her perfection? Like some man,does he know the real importance of a woman only when she leaves him?But Karen is the Dream Regretted Girl, he MUST go to recover her...but now she pretends to don't love him. Only in the final, she will disclose her real feelings,running away with him ,on the white horse's modern version -the Porshe- abandoning Bill who is too simple for her.She is the Princess of the fairy-tale:she's perfect,she's intangible (but not inviolable: she is full of mercy when she decide to make love with Hank ,after his father dead).And her intangibily in a world of women totally accessibles makes her the true challenge for Hank.The seducer loves even more unavailable woman.In the game of love,Karen is the purpouse of a lifetime.And she is also the icy nun,in the second Hank's dream,where she’s totally forbidden to him, totally untouchable.She belong to another man.In the Hank's ES, she's a spooky figure,under Bill's evil influence that represents older rules of morality.Hank also doesn't respect that rules and Karen's freedom will be do the same.
Becca: she is the future and the happy past too.She is the family union that comes back for Hank.She figures out the Virgin,the little girl to protect, to care,to drive in the streets of life and to huge.Hank goes to save her from the drug party, lifting her into his arms -like an ancient knight with his maid- and carries her out.Hank talks with her about all,because she’s clever,she understands (with love) the fallible father.She will love him forever:he doesn’t disappoint her,maybe just for a short time.She will be for ever at his side.
Mother : in his father's words she was the Loving Forgiver,the Martyr. She forgive father’s sex adventures ,tortured by guilt sense;never ready to having sex with her husband.Another untouchable woman.But she was the one who encouraged Hank to dreaming, like Karen in NY,at the beginning of their love story.Mum was the first fan of him.For a young boy is a great thing have a mother as a supporter.She was proud of her kid: he was the perfect man in her life,because he was not a man (not yet a macho,a womanizer) but just a boy,her boy.He was a compensation of her husband.Sad for her, *old* Hank is worse than his father.
Sisters: Meredith imagined (rightly) that Hank had sisters. With their help, he learned a lot things about girls.He were good with them. Maybe too good.What it does mean??Now they are far away: in the past they were good sisters,maybe they became like friends.Did they represented a previous "dress rehearsal" for Karen and Becca in the Hank’s feeling training?
Heater/dream’s Nun: she is Hank’s first woman in the show.She is both the nun on dream and the real married woman on bed.Does it means maybe that every unavailable woman will become available?In my opinion,she is more than this.She is the first woman to wish(the mother,in Freud’s theory about Aedipus complex),that situation rises up rage from her betrayed husband (the father),who breaks Hank’s Porshe light (on son‘s fantasy, the father castrates him,because he have sex with his mother,and on ES’s language this is like blinding,to take away the light).Brooke Banner:she is the Blonde Bimbo,a porno actress, she dates Hank,but she is totally fake.She is a plastic surgery freack,and doesn’t enjoy sex...for her it's a job.She shows herself like a loser,worried only of her phisical look ,unable to enjoy her life.She is totally apparence.Hank prefers to watch her in movie rather live.Better than life,the porno movies are very succesful for a man who could got every woman in L.A.Sonja: she‘s Scientology follower,and joke’s Hank lighting their experience: “Well, I'd be lying if I said I never wondered what it might be like to violate a Scientologist”. Holy Woman becomes available.This is fun for Hank.Make sex is always funny,but with her is also a profanity,or almost…
Meredith: she is a "Nice girl",that kind of girl friends want Hank to meet: a new Karen.The next, maybe…He is fed up at the first date,he hates her because is a blind date.Or maybe because is she a nice girl?A woman who have an opinion about the movie from his novel is a danger?He humiliates her,but when he meets her again,he apologies for his behaviour and he receives the same treatment from her: now is Meredith who profiles him,but with more kindness.They have sex,and when she going to left him,he ask her a second date,a *real* date.Hank has discovered a fellow woman, clever and witty.She becomes a friend of him,she talks about her relationship with a married man...and Hank stoles a dog for her.At the beginning, he doesn’t admite how good is to talk with her,and then he agrees to escort her at the charity party.There,Hank is a gentlemen:he talks with the married man and says him to leave alone Meredith.She begin to ask him more,and he accepts this.He want to protect her,but Meredith makes a mistake with him:he ask him if he loves her.Bad move.She is not Karen:Hank goes to defense himself and does it chatting at a public radio against people who use the Net to become idiots(Meredith use a tipical web expression).She finally leaves him for that,and she knows and say him that he hates himself, and every woman he likes is automatically a idiot.Her analisys about him and his feelings is exact.She is the Real Woman who scares men,with all her contradictions and feelings.
Sandy: she is another woman who Hank stoles from another man, just to inflict on destroying director a simple vengeance.She becomes a Revenge Object;she is naked on Hank’s bed when Becca goes his home.She is a shame. And Hank doesn’t know how "use" her, after the revenge.She was just remebered with obscene words,when Carl fights with him in the bookstore,then she becomes a mean to injurie the enemy.But Hank will pay the conseguence of his treatment.Surfer Girl,Sales Professional & Hot Woman:Hank doesn’t know their name...they are Unknow Girls: a perfect "zipless fuck"(do you remember Erika Jong and ‘Fears to flying’?).In the men’s ideal word,they are Easy Girls,without troubles,totally availables.Here nobody have feeling involvements,no romantic dates.Just a fuck.The greatest men’s dream…
Marcia:Hank chat about sex&love with her;sometimes she is his Super Ego:ready to drive him again to Karen with true advice,and also ready to blame him severely on Meredith‘s affaire.She is married with Charlie -his best friend- and she is Karen’s best friend.At least,she’s the Friend, a woman who can say the truth and is ready to give him her support.
Dani:she is almost ignorated from Hank,he looks at her like a danger,a danger for his friend.She is the Crazy Girl,able to ruin every male(married) life,she and -her-piercing are good only for dirty alone fantasies ...
Mia: in accord with Rosemary Neill -yes- Mia is "Lolita … the schoolgirl who is sexually precocious and in control, especially with boyfriends who shares roughly the same birth dates as her dad."But why men like *that* kind of girl?She’s very young,she is available,she’s like a "wake up" almost virgin.In men’s dream ,she is sexually free,and she knows how to make a man happy.Is this real?NEVER!16 years old girl is scared from men,but her bravery hides her fears about sex and life.And Hank is a Mia’s victim,in a positive way.He really thinks she is not under age of sexual consens,and when he knows the truth about her age,he is terrified,and not just for legal difficulty.He knows she is unprotected and he doesn’t take undue vantage: Mia becomes Becca,her figure skim incest.Hank goes to rescue her from her evil professor,like he does for Becca at the drug party.The are equal.Mia is the real victim,maybe falls in love with Hank...poor little girl.But…She is also the Mistress,the woman who can punish him,the girl who is not only sweet. She scares him,so Hank is now afraid another woman can punchs him like Mia.Now he knows sex is a little danger…or just her punch is an erotic game from a little -too little- girl?She is a nigthmare…
Beatrice: the Prostitute,a woman who cannot says him "no".Never.The woman that will be avaliable forever.With Sonia,they are two sides of woman:consecrated and rejected.Angel and Devil,but sexually available both.What a victory for Ego’s men!
Laura: She’s a former lover,who Hank didn’t call after their first date.She’s is angry with him, but also…another men’s dream is a menage à trois,but only in bedroom. A woman totally ready to two guys,two very best friends.This situation emerges in numerous eterosexual males porno movie, but… that is a hiddenn, latent, homoerotic fantasies: the Girl Between 2 male friends is ever a mean,a media to them.Her body becomes a resource to them that now can be together, even not *totally*.Through her,they will be finally virtual "lovers".Don’t forget that Laura is a boxer,a girl who acts like a boy…

Dani:she is almost ignorated from Hank,he looks at her like a danger,a danger for his friend.She is the Crazy Girl,able to ruin every male(married) life,she and -her-piercing are good only for dirty alone fantasies ...
