Oh, and I did really love the resolution of the Bette/Tina/Jodi situation. the emotions were raw and very real on the part of each of the characters.
I agree with the raw and very real emotions WW. The performances were beyond amazing, especially LuH
I don't know where to file this ep away as. I have really strong feelings about it but I can't quite put my finger on what those strong feelings are. I can't say I hate this ep and I can't say I loved it. There was a lot of fluff but it was pretty intense during some parts as well. It's like the other shoe hasn't dropped yet.
(After re-reading this post, this comes off as more of a rant then a recap/review lol so be forewarned)
Let's get to it... Team Dana - I get why and I love that they have a big group representing for our former resident funny lady but I find it a little weird that people like Max and Tom are part of Team Dana. They didn't even know her. *shrug* Petulant Little Actress - Tina's "Shut up!" Bah! Too funny. Lost Puppy - Kit, don't you think you're jumping the gun thinking it's true love between Shane and Molly? I miss Carmen more and more every time I see Shane and Molly together. Ready, Set, Go Boobs! - This is a very dyke-y bike ride. Psst, Your @ss Looks Good In Those - Oh Tina, trying to take the high road and hiding the fact that you're on the wrong side of the cheating, no matter how many pained expressions you make, won't make you feel any less guilty. Shane Hooking Up With Jenny - "F*ck No!" Nobody delivers a line like Mia Kirshner btw. I have to give her credit for taking a line like, "my p*ssy is so numb," and really run with it. ILY...No, Just Kidding - The Shane/Molly thing didn't do it for me. The chase reminded me of elementary school trying to run away from the boy that wanted to kiss me during recess. Ew cooties. Clementine Ford cracks me up when she's acting like a love sick puppy though. Where can I sign up to get my doctorate in f*cking gay? Cuz I'm at least graduate level right now Shrine of Sad - I miss Dana. This scene got me a little emotional. The Other Mother - For someone that allegedly doesn't like kids, why is Jodi the first one to bring up Angie and actually wanted her around? We get it, we're supposed to sympathize with her so the Tina/Bette reunion can be drama-filled and that much more spectacular. But stop ramming it down our throats, these writers really need a lesson on subtly. This was the only part that got me annoyed about the writing. Sh!ts and Giggles - I loved the break from the drama and the bits that looked like behind the scenes footage that seemed real and genuine between the cast. More please. Exclusive Lesb0 (did you know yuku censors the word "lesb0"?) Club - How come it seems like the core group of L Word lezzies can only hang out with their own friends and expect their sig others to integrate themselves into their group and can't hangout with other people? First Bette with Jodi's friends, now Alice with Tasha's friends. I get they can't cram it all into a tv show but it's like they reject the idea of hanging out with other people other than their own group. Sorry bit of a rant here. Taj MaJenny - Or is it Taj MaNiki? Sale At Costco - Why are they making Shane out to be some big cheap sake idiot? Was she always supposed to be like this? And don't give Costco a bad name, that place is the sh!t. Comparing Notes On Moody OCD Bette - I bet you feel like an @ss right about now don't you Tina. On The Job - How is Adele getting any reception out there in the middle of nowhere? And since when does she have permission to speak to anyone other than Jenny? Completely Under Control - Kit, I love you. Bette, whenever you think you have your sh!t under control and you have that icky 'oh sh!t what am I doing' feeling in the pit of your stomach, you might want to reassess the situation my friend. Public Bathing - Is Niki flirting with Shane? What is this? Is this trouble I smell? Why yes, I believe it is. U-Hauled - Does anyone else feel like there's this huge ticking time bomb just waiting to go off between Tasha and Alice? Shane/Molly - Do nothing for me. Jenny/Niki - I skipped this entire part. Confessional Games - I've never hated an episode of The L Word *chug chug chug* I wonder how the script was written for this scene. I've never lied about who I'm sleeping with: Tina drinks, stares at Bette. Bette drinks, stares at Tina. I've never been in love: Tina drinks, stares at Bette. Bette drinks, stares at Tina. I've never been a big fat cheater: Bette chokes down her bitter tasting beer, looks to Tina, looks to Jodi, takes another big gulp from her close-to-empty bottle of guilt. Why did Tina drink during the cheating question? Was it something from her past? Cuz shes the cheatee not the cheater or the cheated (not this time at least). *edit* cuz duh I just pointed out Tina's man-quest cheating on Bette in last eps post. If that's what she was referencing with that drink, then I give the writers lots of credit. What is Love? - Shane do you not remember Carmen? You loved her! Admit it! Where Does Your Moral Compass Point? I loved this scene. I thought the writing was really good. They rounded out a lot of different perspectives on cheating and infidelity. Sh!t Meet Fan - My eyes got wider and wider as Alice kept pushing the subject of Bette's batting record. The build up was well done. I kept saying under my breath to Alice, "shutup, shutup, shutup!" And wow, give credit to LuH and Marlee Matlin. Those facial expressions just sold it. I never thought I'd say this but, I think they outperformed JBeals - not to take anything away from her performance, it just highlights how amazing LuH and MM were. That one moment before Tina takes off, the anguish on her face, man it just breaks my heart. Then the slow realization that comes across Jodi's face is just wow. MM justified her entire role on this show for me in just that one scene. Shane/Alice/Tina - How awesome was this tent scene? "I never saw this coming"...*they all take a drink* Priceless! Bow Down to Kit - Kit just laid out everything the part of me that is not a TiBetter (it's a small part but it's there) has always wanted to scream out at Bette. Love Confessions - And then this is the part that has the big ol' Tibetter in me going crazy. Bette loves Tina. Tina loves Bette. *swoon* But it's just so damn sad. Drama-rama - Jenny why are you with this immature child? I thought Jenny had the most profound line here. Who knew Jenny had such insight? (At least when it comes to other ppl's relationships other than her own.) But the thing is, Bette and Tina needed to move away from each other to come back again. Havoc wreaked is unfortunate. The collateral damage and the other people hurt in the crossfire is unfortunate. But it had to happen. I was really upset after the sh!t from season 1 but it's taken 4 long years to realize it had to happen this way. It just better finish off right or I'm gonna be a very unhappy Tibetter. Oh and Jen, we all think you're insane for more reasons other than you being with Niki. I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry - Bette has done this apologetic crying thing before back in season 2 when it was for Tina. Will the big 'I'm Sorry' art piece be hanging on her wall in her office again? Will she crash her car and beat up unsuspecting men in the middle of an intersection again? I hate this show for making me sad and cynical. But Angela Robinson, you are my hero.
