Season five opened with Hank and his current girlfriend Carrie discussing an entirely different kind of opening. One might say there definitely was a “hole” in the storyline of “JFK to LAX” but it only served to make the commencement of the new season that much better.
Sadly for Hank, poor man’s Steve Nash slammed shut the Escalade door before he could get his new love interest Kali’s number. The somber moment was short lived though as Hank was quickly greeted by his dearest friend and agent. It was great to see the literary lizard king and tissue assassin back together, but was anyone else half expecting Runkle’s son to tell Hank the human head weighs eight pounds?
Hank described Karen to Kali as his own brand of heroine and like a true junkie the first thing he did after landing in Cali was go looking for a fix. While I have always shared in the awkwardness Hank feels when around one of Karen’s love interests I have to say I did kind of like that she married Richard Bates. I don’t know if “awesome” was the right word to one up him on Hank with, but after hearing his Dexter-esque plans for Becca’s boyfriend I too could not help but like the guy. As if his famous serenade where he told everyone to blow on his dice while in the nude wasn’t enough of a reason already.
And what about this “spirited” suitor of Becca’s? Tyler, he drives fast, talks faster and seemingly woos any woman he meets. So how could we not like a guy who as Karen stated, is so obviously a younger version of Hank? Something about him just did not sit right with me. Perhaps it’s because we’ve all watched Becca grow over the years and as a devoted like Hank and Karen’s only want good things for our little rockstar.
