Okay, I have been really really remiss. And since Shelagh is back watching the L word with us, I have been lazy lazy lazy. Plus, I saw that there are tons of sites that do L Word Spoilers (though none, dear Shelagh maintains, with quite my flair) so I felt less urgent about the whole thing. Even the Trini girls are watching it. But let me recap things as I see them:
The background of this one is Pride. A little early, but the show ends before June. Wait, they just had Pride in Noho. Happy Pride, ladies.
Bette and Tina look like they are getting back together. Bette's dad is dying in the hospital, and he was acting shitty to her about being a dyke and was nasty to Tina when she came to visit. But at the end of the last episode he was holding both his daughter's hands. The good news is, he started being all nice to Kit (whom he calls Katie, weird), maybe cuz she seems to be getting her life together and she was dating ole boy, who by the way, turned out to be married. Kit finally kicked him to the curb though her dad encouraged her to pursue it. Whatever. Sad to see Ossie go though.
Tina and Helena are still kicking it, though Helena broke it down to Tina that they were not "exclusive." Well Tina jumped right on the bandwagon, and went right up to Bette -- "We're not exclusive." A little of the steam is going out of this relationship -- Tina constantly talks about Bette this and Bette that, prompting Helena to brazenly flirt with another chick who's recently ex-ed in the club. Tina doesn't really care though and leaves. I care so little about Tina that I dont remember where she went -- to meet Bette? Anyone who cares want to fill us in?
Alice and Dana are being very cute and goofy and and still in love. Dana's little brother shows up for pride weekend, the girls thinks it's a drag, of course he turns out to be gay rubbing up on some black man in the Planet. When he taunted Dana last season about being a dyke he was just being a jerk head little bro. Alice rides with Shane on the Dykes on Bikes contingent and Dana is on The Center's float that proclaims Freedom to Marry all about. (Sammy was happy about that one, we are sure.) The girls almost go into a dungeon but run out.
Which leads us to the most annoying character on television, you know who. She ends up in the dungeon crying cuz she can't have a normal fun time. Her clothes are some better but she still looks like my first girlfriend from the 80's. (Love you, Tati!) She wants to be TORTURED! Turns out she's was probably gang raped by some asshole boy children, hence the circus scenes she is constantly imagining. She runs out of the dungeon.
Earlier, she told off man-boy skanky videographer who was whining around begging for forgiveness. (In case you missed it, Jenny and Shane took in skank boy roomate, who proceeded to put hidden cameras in the house to make a reality porn tape. He falls in love with Shane as an aside and in an annoying scene saves her from some bashers as she is turning tricks for her two minute oxytocin habit. The girls find out what he's done and get mad at him.) He even took off his clothes to her. "Is this what you want?" he whines. UGH. Can y'all just have him and Jenny run away together off the set forever? PLEASE? but apparently the producer is in love with little miss black tights so we'll continue to see altogether too much of her.
You know I'm saving the best for last -- Shhhhhaaaaannnneeee. Mmmm. She is so delicious on me. Even since she kicked her two minute oxytocin habit, she has not been sleeping around. (It seems as though she is no longer working for Miss Bitch, brilliantly played by Camron Manheim.) She took the video tapes old boy made of her and Carmen and watches them over and over again and cries. Her cold hard heart is melting. She loves Carmen. She goes up to Carmen, who is spinning at the gay pride party at the planet and tells her about her life -- her deadbeat mother and shitty childhood -- in a heartfelt blurt. Carmen looks at her tenderly -- and walks away. NOOOO!
Not to diss on the gestators among us, but why is the pregnant lady the only one getting all the action?
Can we please see Bette get it on with SOMEONE? Carmen and Shane maybe? Sheesh.
Why is Kit such a damn mess? Why they do Pam Grier so dirty? Ugh.
Guys, Tina looks really pregnant to me! Is she?
Can we please please see less of Jenny and ole boy? GET RID OF HIM ALREADY! Don't waste our time. (A flimaker I know suggested that he was there with his cameras so they would have different ways of showing the girls having sex. Where she saw camera angles I saw explicit male gaze.)
ONLY TWO MORE EPISODES LEFT!!!!
And Six Feet Under doesn't come on til June! Shit!
