Lai See is an Ally McBeal fan. And for some time we've been hearing of the controversial episode where Ally enjoys a long kiss with female co-character Ling.
When it aired in America eons ago, there were the predictable rustles of indignation from the far right.
Here in Hong Kong, the episode aired Monday night on ATV. Armed with a bowl of popcorn, Lai See curled up in front of the television to find out what all the fuss was about.
For about 45 minutes the show built towards the kiss as a confused Ally fretted that she might have lesbian tendencies.
At last the Big Moment arrived. The two women leaned towards each other . . . then a still photo of their lips meeting blinked on the screen, before they were suddenly standing apart again.
Either those women were lousy kissers or someone had decided to follow in Singapore's footsteps by taking the kiss out of the kiss episode.
