The L Word...
 

...anyone else going to watch the new season?

Pip!

I finally got around to watching the first episode of the current season. As with other seasons it has started a tad slow. In the past I have tolerated Jenny. Now, as a few of my lesbian friends would say out loud, each episode, each time she appeared on screen... Jenny must die.

and for Carrie... I still miss Marina :laugh:

I couldn't stand Jenny in that first episode. What a bitch!

I can't stand Jenny but I guess that is the point. Her new assistant looks kinda like Jessica Alba but made to look like a plain jane. The second episode sorta picked up. I loved the ending with all the brides maids and the mother of the bride chasing after Shane. I would like to see Bette and Tina work it out but it looks like Tina finally finds a date. Should be interesting. I never was a big fan of Helena but I am coming around. I am enjoying this season so far.

:mad:

actually, i spent the two weeks before this season started watching the series again and i didn't totally hate marina this time around :laugh: but i'm still glad she's gone ;)

jenny has become a complete caricature this season and i can't stand it. it's just stupid. "i don't pay you to think"? seriously? :rolleyes: that is completely lame. also, i wish bette and jodi would break up so she and tina can get back together already cuz i'm sure that's where it's going. b&j are just completely incompatible and i have no idea what bette is thinking. jodi treated her like **** last week when bette decorated the table for her. DTMFA, bette.

also, i'm not quite sure what the whole alice/tasha thing is about either. i get the "opposites attract" thing but when you are so deeply opposed to what your partner is doing, can you really sustain a relationship?

i like having the old shane back but i don't really know what the point of last season was if she's just going to go back to being exactly the same. wasn't shay supposed to come in and "shake out shane's life," as kate moennig put it? now she's exactly the same person she always was. oh well, it was hot seeing her fukc all those bridesmaids i guess.

oh, i really enjoyed the opening scene of episode 2 though. bette and shane together? hello. tina and shane together? hello. bette and helena together? somebody get rachel shelley a cheeseburger.

episode three should be interesting. can't kit catch a ****ing break? :rolleyes: :distress:

why am I still watching this show?

every character, imo, has become such a joke. I just love watching all of Alice, Kit and Bette's scenes though. damnit. can't they just make a spinoff?!

the l word - deux or something

:laugh:

SERIOUSLY.

omg, last night's episode was TORTURE.

and is it just me or did Bette look like an amazon among all those women in SHEBAR?! lol.

oh and I totally knew Shane couldn't maintain her sellibycy!

God damn... still waiting for the torrent to appear online!

I did find this on youtube though...



Is this how the episode ends?

it was posted on btjunkie this morning! i watched it on showtime last night but had to download it too :laugh:

yeah. way hot.

Downloading it now!

Pip...I was able to download last night off of mininova. They usually have it available around 10pm PST.

Does anyone else think the ladies at Shebar had something to do with the robbery at the Planet?

Hopefully Kit will use her new gun on Jenny. Just how over the top can Jenny get?

omg, YES!

"Hey Jenny. I gotchyo movie right here!" BAM!

Anyone still watching?

oh yeah. did you watch episode 8 on ourchart? what do you think of this season?

I'm actually quite enjoying this season. I love that Tina and Bette are slowly getting back together. Jenny still bugs the hell out of me. And does what's happening to Tasha really happen out there?

i really liked the tina and bette thing for the first few episodes, but now i think bette is just in it for the thrill of the chase. it's becoming clearer to me that the affair with the carpenter wasn't an aberration, she gets off on sneaking around, and that sucks.

jenny is crazier than ever but i think she is hilllllarious this season. i hate the affair with niki though. narcissism is so gross!

re: tasha - i don't know how accurate the actual hearings/procedures are, but yes, people get kicked out of the military all the time for being gay. it's utterly unfathomable in its idiocy.

i hate what they've done with alice this season. she's always been flaky but never self-serving. bleh.

and why are they wasting pam grier on this show? she has nothing to do but say things ~sassy-like~.

I pretty much aggree with everything you said. WTF is all this shebar crap. Oh and how obvious is it that Shane is going to end up with Molly

BTW... love your sig pic... hehe

agreed x 10zillion

hmmm...didn't know about ourchart. Not sure if I want to watch episode 8 in advance. A few years back one of the torrent sites had like 5 advanced episodes. We downloaded it, watched them all in one evening and then had nothing to do the next month of Sunday nights. :lol:

...and I agree about Alice. At one time she was the only real life lesbian on the show. Is that still the case? I like how they worked that into Les Girls. They promoted the movie as having only one real life lesbian in order to draw a more mainstream audience.

Jenny's assistant is whacko but may do us all a favor and off Jenny. And the prosecuting attorney in the case against Tasha will turn out to also be gay. But don't ask or tell!

oh, i think the shebar stuff is funny. dawn denbo is my friggin' hero. anyone who introduces herself and her SO as "dawn denbo and my lover cindi" is totally awesome in my book. even if lover cindi is a cheater and looks like she just steps out of some 2-bit porno filmed in the back of some dude's van.

totally agree on molly and shane. yawn.

thanks. it cracks me up every time. and so does yours ;)

dats cuz we r 1~~~~~

oh yeah. i'm already pissed i have nothing to do this sunday. :laugh: i have no impulse control when it comes to the ladies. i mean the l word. :laugh:

umm, i think so. some dyke blogs were up in arms recently cuz they said kate moennig had been outed by some press release but i don't remember the press release. she has never said she's gay, though. btw - the one gay actress on lez girls is named gretchen pickles. SERIOUSLY?!?!?! :lol: they couldn't come up with a better name than gretchen pickles???? come on, ilene. (sorry. pun intended.)

yeah but if adele offs jenny where will this season's comic release come from? pam grier can only fit so much sass into 3 lines an episode, and now that alice is a pod person ... :distress: oh, and ilene chaiken: great job on the blatant ripoff of all about eve. adele's last name is channing, fergodssake.

OH and can i just say how grossed out i was by the friggin' oil wrestling? we should call ilene chaiken "miss jackson" cuz that **** was nasty. i had to FF through that scene cuz it looked like they were rolling around in piss. ughghg.

i'm gonna stay mum on the prosecuting attorney issue till y'all have seen episode 8. but, um, it's kelly mcgillis. homegirl is dyke plus.

Okay, that's enough for me. I'll go watch it now. Such willpower I tell you!

I didn't even realize that was Kelly McGillis. When did she get so, um...old?

I forgot to say before... I tried to watch ep 8 on ourchart but it's not available outside of the US

yeah, she does look pretty old. and she's huge! not obese, but very imposing.

i hate when they do that.

apparently there's a torrent of it up on mininova though ;)

oh no...

'L Word' Ending Run on Showtime
LOS ANGELES (March 10) - "The L Word" is set to take its final bow.

Showtime has renewed the lesbian drama for a sixth and final season, which will make it one of the premium network's longest-running series. Eight episodes have been ordered, targeted to go into production in early summer for an early 2009 premiere.

While past seasons generally have consisted of 12-13 episodes each, Showtime executives and series creator/executive producer Ilene Chaiken believed that eight additional episodes were creatively what was needed to wrap up the story lines.

"The L Word" follows a group of Los Angeles-based friends as they navigate careers, families, friendships, personal struggles and romantic relationships. The series became the first lesbian primetime drama on television when it debuted in January 2004. Its stars include Jennifer Beals and Mia Kirshner.

Chaiken, who created the series with Kathy Greenberg and Michele Abbott, said the show will live on, interactively.

"This is by no means the end of 'The L Word,"' she said. "The brand and the social network community, OurChart.com, will continue to live and be a destination for lesbians everywhere and a lasting tribute to what 'The L Word' has accomplished."

She added that fan input will play a part in wrapping up the series' story lines, noting the role that viewer input has played in the past.

"The L Word," which received a GLAAD Award for best drama series, also has a big following in virtual world Second Life and has spawned such branded products as perfume, jewelry and books. The Season 5 finale is set to air March 23.

i'm both sad and relieved. i was worried they were gonna pull the plug at the end of this season. showtime has never had a series go beyond 5 seasons, and once the writer's strike started, i thought it was a goner for sure.

why only 8 episodes, though? god, i hate ilene chaiken so much. for whom is ourchart a destination? bitch please. what a joke.

she's in the march issue of art news talking about the parallels between bette's art world and the real-life LA art scene. gimme a break.

Leave it to the L word to create so much drama during, of all things, a Breast Cancer Bike Ride. :laugh:

I've really enjoyed this season

You can guess what is going to happen with them can't you??

I'm glad to see it go. the first couple of seasons were SO GOOD that it pains me to see it become what it has, but, it still is entertaining so I watch it and then bitch about it.
