It may be apparent that I watch too much television. Given this, how is it possible that I missed the build up to
Covert Affairs, which is the best new show on TV? Why is it so good, you ask? First, it's about spies. Second, it's just good—with potential—
potential— to be almost (almost) as good as
Alias. (Note: Do yourself a favor and watch this
Alias link.) And lastly,
Covert Affairs stars Piper Perabo, who we all love from her lesbian roles in
Imagine Me & You and
Lost and Delirious. As far as I can tell, Piper Perabo is straight. But the girl plays lesbians in movies,

and we love her for that. Also, she told
Curve magazine that her crush on
Diane Keaton helped inspire her to play gay: "[Working with Keaton is] sort of dreamy, I have to say. She’s a magnificent woman. Magnificent. Intelligent, politically astute, artistic. She’s got a rockin’ bod for 60. I’m kind of infatuated with her. I follow her around like a puppy." Okaaay. Maybe Piper is a little gay.
