Paging Piper

I like Piper Perabo. She is all sorts of cute. But I don’t love love her like, say, a Lena Headey. And I’m not entirely sure why. She is delightfully winsome. She is undeniably attractive. And she has played quite convincingly gay not once (“Lost & Delirious”), not twice (“Imagine Me & You”), but three times (though I never saw the direct-to-DVD “Perception,” so I really can’t vouch for the convincingness there). Which I guess means I owe her a hot plate.

But I am all sorts of excited for her new USA series “Covert Affairs.” Granted, not the best title. What, was “Secret Stuff” already taken? But I am always and forever a sucker for 1) Women who can kick ass. 2) Women in suits. 3) Women who can kick ass in suits. And this trailer delivered on all three counts.

OK, a couple other quick observations. First, does Piper simply not age? How is this possible? Second, Action Piper is new and I like her. She can stay. Third, honey, don’t button that button. No, really, don’t.

So, what do you think? Pair this up with Sarah Shahi’s new USA series “Facing Kate” and that is what I call a must-see double feature. This Piper might just be Pied after all.
