The L Word 602 Recap: 9021Lesbo
asks his doctor if everything is set for his surgery and learns that it will have to be delayed… because he’s stolen Thomas Beatie’s life story. He’s preggers.
Jodi and Bette lock passive aggressive horns over Jodi’s art piece about Bette. Bette wants to meet with her in private to discuss it and Jodi tells her to have James schedule an appointment. Ouch. Bette heads to Phyllis’ office for a powwow about Jodi’s “inappropriate behavior,” but once there they are waylaid by… nekkid Joyce! Bette flees in horror. Nekkid Joyce pops the question and Phyllis accepts. They’re getting gay married!
Alice and the taciturn Tasha are in therapy with Dr. Dan and Alice will not SHUT UP! Don’t you miss the old Alice? Bubbly, snarky, sweet Alice? Non-annoying Alice? Me, too.
Max arrives at the clinic for his abortion appointment, facing down a transphobic clinic employee and the whispers of the other clients in the waiting room.
Jenny’s screenplay treatment turns out to be a fantasy of Shane declaring her undying love. Eeugh. The two of them seem to be back on tentative speaking terms. Double ugh.
Lesbro Dr. Dan has waved the magical processing wand and gotten Tasha and Alice to open up to one another. They are healed! Ready to bury the hatchet! Until he bursts their bubble: “You two have so little in common, I really don’t think you belong together.” They respond by having parking garage car sex. Take that, Dr. Dan!
Tom arrives at the clinic, where Max has been denied his abortion. The doctor said he was too far along at four months. No car sex conflict resolution for these two: Max, in a moment of homo (or hetero?) panic, gay-bashes his man right there in the clinic hallway, complete with “you faggot” and a swift kick to the nuts. Tom admits that he’s not ready to be a dad.
Alice and Tasha decide to make a ‘pros and cons’ list for their relationship, incorporating a complicated point system. It’s the perfect marriage of processing and lesbian math. They seem okay, for now…
Bette and Tina visit an art show at a new gallery, where the proprietress turns out to be none other than Bette’s long-lost college roommate and former crush, Jessie. I mean, Nomi. I mean Kelly Wentworth. Their reunion is peppered with profanity and '80s slang and, just for the record, the word “biyatch”

Hi Grace,
I just tried three times to post a comment to Julia's "Waffle" remark but it wouldn't post my comment. I included a YouTube URL. Do you know why it wouldn't let me post?

Julia, my favorite US of T line this week was Alice's "It's time to learn to start loving Oral". Or should that be 'Orel'? Anyhow, reminded me why we all started saying 'shenanigans' in general conversation. I LOL'd.

Just a thought ,Maybe jennie looks dead ,but really isn't dead and comes back in the spin off ! lolol . Maybe IC has been watching too much Daytime Drama Tv. It happens all the time on the soaps ! Dead people come back 2 years later.

I do thank Ilene for the L-Word but it is not as great as it once was .I think it hit it's high point in seasons 1 & 2 .Season 3 really played a number on that show.I did love OurChart but like someone said down thread it was the way OC close with that "Wham Bam thank Ma'ma kind of way like X said

I dunno, Ames. There days I'd have to go with "sheer campiness" as the show's saving grace. But Jane Lynch seriously sweetens the deal!

Don't worry about sounding creepy. (We all VP stalk Minnie.)
Well I do have to say that
Well I do have to say that this sight is somewhat like OC. The other sights where my friends went to is so overwhelming. I can follow this better. Change is not my strongest point. As for S6.........I think it is going in the oppisite direction than we all thought. It should have been 12 epsiodes. There is to much smooched together.

Julia Watson reply my post..
I hope it turns out better for the sake of all the fans... And I do enjoy a lot watching TLW...

Dude! I don't think anyone is
Dude! I don't think anyone is being immaturely bitter about the show. We're just having a laugh.

Um... poopface!
I get your point... I think
I get your point... I think I'm just not as involved with it..
I recently made a research paper about TLW and how it affected (some) women's lives... so i guess i am more of an outsider and i just go with the flow...
Glad to have you aboard,
Glad to have you aboard, Sandra!
For the record, I really like The L Word. I think it's beyond ridiculous at this point, but I have a great time watching it! (Although it must be said that this week's episode seriously blew. And Shenny seriously makes me want to gouge out my eyeballs with the nearest spork.)
Well the way I see it is OC
Well the way I see it is OC had a good run, TLW has had a good run so let's just enjoy what was without being immaturely bitter (yep that coming from me LOL) and bitchy about it all. Ok sure this season can't compare in quality to some of the other past seasons, but it is the last one after all and you know beyond everything, I do think that IC is human as well and I do believe that she probably feels saddened on some level by its demise right along with the rest of us even though she was blatantly sugar coating it all on OC to look good....no I should say 'professional' right lol. Anyway, on the whole Im actually glad TLW happened and Im glad OC happened for the time that it did, so beyond the cringe worthiness of some parts of the current season, all is forgiven on my part because when you look at the big picture, it's been a triumphant move
. Ok, Im ready for the backlash now...lol....
you always crack jokes about
you always crack jokes about stuff... no??...
this might sound creepy now.. haha but i usually read the blog + comments and i see many of the regulars...
i'm just toooo shy!
haha
anyways, everyone has its own opinion and thats what matters..
I don't doubt that xan... VP
I don't doubt that xan... VP for me, is better than OC because it has the people that it should have.. and it's more than just TLW..
and I come to VP every day to check the new blogs.. and I always read all of you guys.. but yeah.. maybe I'm just being "innocent" about it... I didn't liked the way OC ended and after Grace and Kelly left, I deleted my profile and made VP one of my "favs"...
so, I've been here with all of you as well.. I'm just not as loud as you guys...
I just wrote a comment above
I just wrote a comment above referencing the Gong Show and hadn't even read this one yet. I have not even said the words "gong" and "show" in the same sentence in 30 years!!!!How coincidentally tragic.
Because I am feeling feisty,
Because I am feeling feisty, I would just like to point out that my original draft included the phrase "waffles of EPIC FAIL." As opposed to my new favorite phrase, courtesy of The United States of Tara, "muffins of triumph." In hindsight, probably too new a pop culture reference to really translate, but still...
Long live the funny!
Sadly enough for TLW, I
Sadly enough for TLW, I thought Julie, as unfathomable as it may seem, was understated in her narrative...
As was I when I hosted a TLW Cheezball at my house Sunday night complete with reynolds wrap as a table cloth, a pink feather wreath centerpiece surrounding a bowling pin, a dixie cup of dead flowers, mad dog (along with more appealing libation), paper towels (as napkins) and all the different variations of cheez "ordervz" (velveeta cheez dip, cheez pizza, and of course an actual cheez ball, oh, and I threw in some vienna sausages for good measure...in hindsight I should have gotten spam). TLW 6:2 threw me completely out of the cheez dip and made mincemeat out of me instead of swiss cheese. When it was over I disappointingly felt like I had hosted an upscale soy cheese soire.
But I have to say, each episode of this season is as funny as watching the Gong Show except I just realized that we're the gongs.

PeaceKitty - you just reminded me of this series of books I used to read as a teen. They had two or more endings and you could pick the ending that interested you.
*reminising*
IC should have done that (go out leaving every lesbian satisfied!) ... Well, if your going to end a series with sheer corny-ness - you should really go for it!!
Yup - we all love The L Word
Yup - we all love The L Word and we are critiquing it out of love! ... It deserves a better end than this.

Bless you Sandra - but many
Bless you Sandra - but many at OldChart had rose colored glasses on in it's dying days. I felt that there was not nearly enough outrage at the 'Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am' way OC ended ... but that's just me!
What you might have perceived as negativity here at VP is just us regulars, overanalyzing every minute detail of whatever topic we are discussing!!
We also LOVE conspiracy theories!
Newcomers will get used to it. I think when VP gets all it's bells and whistles on - it will be better than OC was.
