Did you like all that "Passion of the Christ" material in the new episode?
Was there any reason to have that brassiere subplot in the same episode?
Was it the best use of the cross as a weapon since "The Graduate"?
How much religion can Larry David pack into this season? Will it work as well as themes from earlier seasons, like opening the restaurant and being in "The Producers"?
My profoundest question: Are you for Susie or Cheryl?

"Extras" is hysterical...get HBO now.
We can't watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David is just too painful as a human being.
About the bra thing and the Passion thing in the same episode... the bra episode was what gave Jesus his motivation to attack Larry... so it was all intertwined (as usual). While watching this episode, it occurred to me how crazy Susie would have to be to treat Larry like she does, given that Jeff actually works for Larry (manager, agent, whatever). Since Larry is one of the most successful TV people of all time, he must be a valuable client... and yet Susie treats him like the scum of the earth. I guess that she knows that Jeff and Larry are really close and nothing she says will affect that relationship.
I've enjoyed Curb this season so far, and Extras kicks so much arse that despite the need for subtitles (the Irish lass' brogue is sometimes a little difficult for my American ears) that I really look forward to each episode.
Regarding religion this season, it's presented for shock and amusement just as the racial and orientation humor was the previous week so I have no problem with it (but then again I'm a pagan/heathen).
Now as to which wife I am for.
For as in fan of, or for as in desirous of, or for as in suitable, I would probably side with Susie with all three.
She can be a frightening harridan at times, but you always know where you stand, Cheryl's passive aggressive routine is far more off putting to me than Susie's actual aggressiveness (aggression washes away after a moment, passive aggression wears on endlessly).
Physically Susie is more sensual and seemingly more emotionally available and she seems quite capable of sweetness with her husband it's just Larry that rubs her so raw (and who wouldn't be rubbed raw by that putz).
So I find her more interesting as a character (so I am for as a fan), more desirable (so I am for as in desirous) and compatible with my own experience of the kind of people I can put up with (so I am for her as in suitable, passive aggressiveness drives me beyond distraction).
With all that said I'm glad Susie is presented in small doses as Cheryl is a far superior foil for Larry's insanity.
Haven't seen CYE - don't have HBO. Just passing along that Ron Rosenbaum, in the New York Observer, isn't enjoying the current season: But judging by the first three episodes of the new season of Curb, something’s gone terribly wrong, Larry.
Cheryl's character is perfect. Susie is a caricature, practically.
