the L word Commentary

Lesbians did go wild in this episode or at least some of them. I enjoyed watching various parts of the group interact on the movie set. So Jenny’s betrayal / portrayal of her friends is not a bad thing after all.

The story is moving towards Jenny’s demise and hopefully Bette and Tina’s reunion. As for Alice and Shane, nothing is clear yet.

I did enjoy all of the actors in this episode. Usually there is something that annoys me, then I realized this was a Max free episode. This is the first time since the doom and gloom of season three that we didn’t see Max. Thanks to the Ziff-Robinson team for such a treat. Hope it will be an ongoing trend.

Teaser

There was a filming within the filming within the filming. Niki flipped out because Begoña was an asshole. Then Jenny followed suit and kicked the EPK crew off the set. Off to a good start.

This deleted scene was posted on Our Chart. It expands on the Niki /Begoña feud.

Tina: she's got a thang

Tina was so cute this episode. I said before that Jenny was the one who’s gonna drive her crazy. But in this episode Jenny was joined by Adele, Niki and Alice. So I’m expecting by the end of the season, Tina the blond sexy babe will turn into a cross eyed middle aged hag . The little love affair with Bette might also give her a heart attack or two. Go Tina!

Tina thought she could get things under control. Of course she didn’t. Niki is a loose cannon; Jenny is just Jenny; Adele is the wicked witch from L who’s probably going to be the end of Jenny and the whole movie, which means the end Tina’s career. Alice outing Niki was another slap. In the process of trying to put out fires, Tina got some respect. Okay probably more flirting than respect which was not to Bette’s liking.

The scene with Bette and Tina checking out the bed was adorable. Two mature women acting like teenagers could be a bit over the top but not these two. They absolutely rocked. It would’ve been more fun though if they smoked some pot, then got some TiBette loving going.

Tina saved Niki’s ass, or at least one ass cheek, as the cop agreed to keep quiet. But obviously there were photographers all over the place. So the shit will hit the fan sooner than later.

The many faces of Tina in this episode:

Jenny: an oily smooch with love

Jenny was so adorable this episode. She had her crazy moments but they mixed well with her love affair. I do love her and Niki together. They were hot and had some steamy scenes.

Jenny had a few moments of raw honest feelings when Niki peeled off her LA mask and told her she wanted to have kids with her. Niki revealing her love was reciprocated by the end of the episode. Is Jenny really going to find a meaningful relationship? Or is she just getting a taste so she knows what she’s missing when the L shit hits the fan.

Jenny tried to be more responsible and do what’s right for the movie, but she couldn’t stop herself when it came to Niki. Jenny is in love.

Adele, the assistant from L, was instrumental in Niki’s fuck up and she’s on her way to more mayhem and chaos. She is going to be the end of Jenny. I wonder how long it will take before someone realizes who she truly is. I guess this is when they will get Inspector Max to swoop in and save every body. Whoopty do!

Another acting salute to Mia Kirshner. Kate French and Malaya Rivera Drew were great as well. Can’t complain about casting this season.

Jenny's many expressions in this episode:

Alice: oh no she didn’t!

Alice’s appearance on the Look showed her weakness. She outed Niki and then tried to make light of it. Shame on you Alice. You are better than this. It was the wrong thing to do. She should’ve told them to fuck off when they started with the gay fluff. But I guess she fell under the toxic spell of fame.

Alice experienced first hand the hypocrisy of the world. She talked to Tina who wasn’t too thrilled with what Alice did. Alice probably understood Tina’s position. But she was disappointed that it was such a big deal considering that Niki was staring in a lesbian movie. What Alice did not realize was: it’s ok to act gay but not be gay. It’s fun to watch as fiction but not in reality.

With all the drama facing Alice, she still managed to be sarcastic and funny. She can outrun the hulk and she doesn’t want to talk to Mr. Blue Tooth. Funny stuff.

The meeting with Col. Davis aggravated Alice even more. She went begrudgingly only to be slapped for her lifestyle and be blamed for Tasha’s demise. Wasn’t Col. Davis a bit harsh in her remarks? Is she another self loathing homophobe who one day might have to face the same ordeal as Tasha?

Tasha: fighting a losing battle

Tasha’s day is fast approaching. Colonel Davis is going to prosecute and things don’t look good for her.

She did not want to take the deal which would grant her an honorable discharge with full benefits. Tasha needs to smarten up. She should take the deal instead of insisting on being part of the death machine.

It was great to see Kelly McGillis. She played the tight ass lawyer so well. I was hoping the character would be more like Grethe Cammermeye and be a catalyst for change. Oh well!

Kit strikes back

Kit was hanging out everywhere. She had nothing to do after the SheBar witches closed the Planet. Her time though was not wasted. She was at the right place the right time and she gave them ho-bags a taste of their she-bitches venom. Good for her I say.

How cool is Pam Grier! She makes ghetto sound so fabulous. Gotta love her.

Bette: smack my bitch up

Bette started this episode bitching about Molly. She then moved to giving Shane those bitchy silent looks. She did not learn a thing when it comes to judging people. She’s such a control freak.

Bette not being thrilled about hanging out with Molly is understandable. She should’ve said no to Phyllis. Molly is a pain in the ass with an attitude from L. Bette should be thankful that Shane was there to entertain Molly, otherwise it would’ve been another poo sandwich for Bette.

When did the movie set become the Planet II for the gang? If the Planet is closed, then let’s go to the movie set. Tina is so lucky to have such good friends.

Of course Bette didn’t care about what Molly wanted, she was just happy to see Tina, even if it was only for a few minutes.

I felt bad for Jodi this episode. She got smacked upside the head and then was used as a masturbation tool. I’m not sure when she’s gonna clue in. If she knew anything about Bette, she’d realize that Bette being ok with her seeing Amy, her ex, was a sign of Bette wanting out. Jodi is easy going but Bette is going to devastate her when the cheating shit finally hits the fan.

The sex scene was violent, disturbing and yet loving. Bette’s guilt for cheating is masked with frustration and anger that she’s stuck in this position. Back to Bette 101; nothing has changed.

Kudos to Jennifer Beals for her wide expressive range. She speaks volumes with one look or gesture. She makes us love Bette one minute and then want to slap her the next.

Shane: oh happy days

Shane was the one who ended up babysitting Molly. It seems she’s setting herself up for another disappointment. It reminds me of her season one hook up. We all know how well that ended. The whole pull push thing with Molly is exciting to watch. But once they hook up I don’t think it’s going to be anything spectacular.

Kit was very amused by Shane’s attempts to get Molly’s attention whereas Bette gave her the don’t you dare look. Begoña thought Shane could use better lines. I don’t think any lines would work on Molly. The best thing would be to ignore her. She seems to be the type who seeks attention where she can’t get it, just the way Shane functions. How fun!

How noble of the Fonz to jump in the ring and get all that oil and crap just to rescue her beloved Molly! I hope she’s worth it.

G spot(s)

The first scene was with Bette, Jodi, Kit and the pain in the ass Molly. It was short and sweet.

On the movie set Jodi was replaced by Tina. Now we’re talking.

The Turkish wrestling added Jenny to the mix and crazy became crazier. Of course hot turned to sizzling. The smacking and hair pulling was funny but took away from Jenny & Niki 's hotness.

Observations of a lubricated mind

The EPK is on the set of Jennifer Schecter’s ground breaking new movie. How many movies did Jenny direct before this one? They should say the one and only movie Jenny will ever be associated with.

The address of the oil wrestling is 69369. Who is the third sixty niner?

Tina won’t let Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindy recruit customers on her set. How funny! They should send them to Bev & Nina's room on the set to shoot some porn.

Jenny is impressed that Niki can spell cunt. So am I. Can she spell THE earth?

Jenny wants Niki to be nice to Begoña. Did Ilene ask Mia to be nice to Karina (Lombard), not Jenny’s Karina who is supposed to be Marina who is played by Begoña.

Colonel Davis enjoys a good scotch in the officers’ club. Oh butchy mama!

Colonel Davis enjoys a man with confidence. It makes it all that much more enjoyable when she crushes him. Gaydar overload.

Homosexual conduct violates the code of honor in the army. And armies violate the code of humanity.

According to the ass hats pictured above the internet is for cowards. And mainstream media is for delusional morons who think they know everything.

News on the internet = Paris Hilton’s sex tape. News on TV = Same ol’ war and fear mongering crap.

Alice asks if anybody believes what they hear on Fox News? Touché Alice, you redeemed yourself.

Molly doesn’t really understand modern art. Does Molly understand anything? Is she interested in anything?

Col. Davis most exciting action was Panama in 89. That was when the US invaded Panama to oust Noriega and the media sold it very well. Sounds too familiar doesn’t it? God bless democracy.

The Look wants the right kind of gay, fun gay not angry gay, gay gossip and gay lifestyle. The show should be called:

Alice asks which Hollywood Maxim endorsed gorgeous little starlet is a little bit closer to her role as a Saphic sister in Hollywood girl on girl smooch fest? Sarah Shahi?

Fucking Managers:

Tina wants to issue a press release that says Gretchen Pickles (Nina) is the only gay cast member. And Niki and the other cast members should be left to pickle in their closets.

Amy regrets being a cunt to Bette. If she only knew.

Bette is happy that Jodi is reconnecting with Amy. And hoping to disconnect herself from Jodi ASAP.

Bette says the room looks like the children’s department at god knows where. I say it looks like a porn movie set.

Tina had to fight jenny on the water bed. Why? Porn on a water bed is more fun.

Bette asks Tina if she has any hot rock candy. Tina answers she has some pot. Hard rock candy and pot work very well for porn purposes.

Shane says Molly was too busy checking out 50-year-olds in their black bras diving into her mother's swimming pool. I say Molly was too busy bitching and being disgusted to even look. It's degrading to look.

Alice is not scared by the security guy. She is small and she can outrun him. But can she outrun Tina, Jenny or Niki?

Tina wants this movie to reach a large, mainstream audience. If everyone thinks the lead of the movie is gay, then that makes it a small, little niche film. Niche is good. It’s better than a colossal flop.

Molly says her mother told her all about Shane’s little game. Shane is like the Fonz for lesbians. Long live Yoda the Fonz.

Alice thinks Tina and Colonel Davis should meet and work on keeping the gays out of the military and the movies. Tina should smoke some pot with Col. Davis so they both can chill and lay off them homosexuals.

Colonel Davis says it's a shame Tasha had to meet someone [Alice] who flies her dirty laundry like a freedom flag for the whole world to gawk at. Tasha never had a problem living within the military's codes until she met Alice. Ouch. Who broke your heart Colonel?

Niki wants to have Jenny’s kids. It’s not good for The Earth to have little Jennies.

Molly is bored but not bored enough to sleep with Shane. It’s the Matrix. Shane should be saying this to Molly.

Molly is totally straight but Shane can keep dreaming. How many episodes would take before Shane screws Molly’s light bulb?

Crapometer

There was no significant crap to report in this episode. Being Max free as stated above was an excellent bonus.

Hotness Advisory

Jenny was incredibly hot and sexy this episode. Niki was hot and adorable. Tina is so irresistible this season. There was room for jealousy, angry sex, revenge and evil. Yeah evil can be hot.

The Ultimate F Match

Sorry EZ cunt was not included.

Character of the week

This was another tough week. Both Jenny and Tina were brilliant. Jenny got to have all the fun and Tina had to deal with all the pain. They have to play nice and share this week's award. Congratulations to Jenny & Tina.
