'Is this because I'm a lesbian?'

Besides "Girl Most Likely," I thought the "Gov Luv" episode hinted at it too, based on Serena's reaction to Jack's trying to get the NY State Court of Appeals in Albany to nullify the same-sex marriage performed by a small town mayor so Jack to bust up spousal privilege. Serena was quite angry and said something like this to Jack: "I'm not going to be of any help to you in Albany." She could have simply been opposed to Jack's plan but her being a lesbian would certainly have made her even more angry at Jack.

Is this because I am a lesbian?
was absurd. It made no sense. It was used as shock value and likely as some sort of political ploy.
She was fired because she had been becoming more and more out of line with the DA in cases. Her emotions were leading her, not the facts. And she refused to see what she was doing. Her comments about how nobody cares about her opinion showed she was not thinking like an ADA.
Her firing did not surprise me at all. In fact, I expected it when she was called into the DA office by herself, given her actions earlier. They were setting this up. -

Probably one of least favorite lines on a tv show. Incredibly stupid. Wolf asked the actress how she wanted to go out and this is what they decided. Out of a left field and just so damn silly. Not sure what Wolf was going for in that line. The actress said some of her gay friends picked up on some gay vibe from her character. And that's how we got one of the worst lines in this franchise's history. Ridiculous.

They really should have set it up more if they wanted it to go down that way. Maybe have her get dropped off at work by a girlfriend or wife and have Branch give her a possibly disapproving look, something like that so that we can at least see where the character is coming from.

Absolutely 100% correct. It is such a jarring, stupid line that I am just about to write an entirely new post about small details / lines that made me lose large chunks of respect for the writing on this otherwise excellent show and this is one of the headliners!
Honestly, I chortled, even on a re-watch a couple of years later! It is on a par for ridiculousness with Ali G hilariously spouting "Is it coz I is black?" at random, nonsensical "opportunities".

Well I do know that one of the posts deleted by an administrator did not deserve to be. It wasn't my post. It was right below my other post. Didn't say anything bad or anything like that. I am starting to think that some people are being idiots in what they complain to the administrators about.

The actress, Elisabeth Rohm, is currently playing a heavy on The Last Ship.. This scene has ruined almost every other thing she's been in.. An exception might be her role on The Client List playing fremeny of Jennifer Love Hewitt playing a rich Texas girl with a heavy accent.. Anyway.. from this scene in her first TV role to now overthrowing the US Government on The Last Ship quite a leap.. She is an alumna of the little school in TN that my son also graduated from

I hold the opposite view. It is such a jarring, stupid and laughable line (and the hollow delivery certainly made it worse) that I am just about to write an entirely new post about small details / lines that made me lose large chunks of respect for the writing on this otherwise excellent show and this is one of the headliners!
