I envy you're ability to see the rest so quickly. My pal Wales and I went nuts waiting for the 2nd Season to come out. I think I joined netflix primarily to see it and Dead Like Me. Probably should just get Showtime again, but netflix is cheaper and more fun.
It's interesting that the actress playing Shane came out as gay recently, I wondered if she was. Partly because a few male actors who have played similar types were also gay or bisexual. Not sure if there is anything in that at all.
Personally, I think Shane may be the most fully developed character on the show, she seems to have the most facets to me. But it could just be a character type that is fascinating me at the moment, maybe because of my identification with it. Here's a character who on the surface appears to be completely at ease with her body and who she is, completely open, not into navel gazing as it were, yet if you peel a layer off - you get all these vulnerabilities and realize she's possibly the least comfortable character on the screen. The other characters insecurities are more surface, while Shane's are deeply imbedded in her character.
There's another similar character on TV now - played by Sandra Oh on Grey's Anatomy - whose also all tough talk and bravado, who seems completely secure and no-nonsesense, but is anything but. I see them rarely, even though they are archetypal. And my favorite. ;-)
