Starting the L Word (for the first time)

2 minutes into the pilot.

Daniel from Ugly Betty needs to cut his ####ing hair.

Lesbians in a fractured relationship using a baby as plaster.

Oo!

Nudity.

I'm going to sit back and get to know these People.

 

Mia Kirshner, 10 years before Defiance is unrecognisable. So thin, not that there's anything wrong with that. Time is harsh mistress. Why do people say that when father time is in charge of time? Either daddy issues control time or mommy issues. No idea.

IMDB is telling me Wesley from Angel kept one of the leads tied up in a closet, gagged for ten episodes. I think it might be time to rewatch Angel.

The pilot is a double episode. An American dramody about a close-knit circle of friends as expected, who endlessly talk about sex and... 6 feet Under with (more) lesbians, but I'm getting more of a 30-Something vibe. Been on my list forever. Had the DVDs for 8 years.

So the couple trying to have a baby turned out not to be doomed, which is nice, but they look like Sisyphus trying to find a spermguy.

It's funny that the straight couple, are both obviously gay and in denial, so it is divide and conquer to drag them both out of their happy little life in Denyville.

 

The straight couple?

Dana and Harrison, are both gay but pretend to be a couple to protect their tennis careers. They are doubles partners.

Yes. Mia was way too thin.

 

Eric Mabius and Mia Kirshner.

Those two. I have no idea how long Eric stays around, since his straight girlfriend is making out with that Tall European woman a lot in this episode that I am up to (s01e05). Besides, if this is 2004, Ugly betty should be picking him up any moment now.

"I was a lesbian in 1974."

"Just 1974?"

"Just 1974."

"We call that being a Hasbian."

 

Tim is not gay.

Tall European lady is Marina.

 

In the pilot he is looking around like he's interested.

Could have been the actors decision, I could have imagined it, but there has been no further evidence that he has an affinity for other dude's balls.

Alice's eyebrows are almost invisible.

 

That's because her eyebrows are dyed blonde to match her hair.

 

Straight girls don't have to do that.

Men are not that observant.

I'm not even sure the last time that my girlfriend had a hair cut.

 

Well if you're not sure then it probably doesn't matter.

 

We really should cut each other's hair to save money.

She needs some walking around cash for a big trip next year.

Just started episode 8.

Mia has been outed as a lesbian, and her boyfriend is spinning out, because being lied to kinda sucks.

Aftermath and conflict.

 

Trips are fun!

Her name is Jenny.

Cheating is bad.

 

Ninth episode.

"Do women look ####ing ridiculous when they cum? Because men look ####ing ridiculous. I'm embarrassed for them."

I have no idea how that sports agent stayed around so long.

If cheating is so wrong, why is this series about the cheaters, and the nice guy making his exwife live in a toolshed is going to be cast out at the end of the season if not earlier?

 

Tim is hurting but he'd feel like a jerk to throw Jenny out on her own, even though he should.

 

Then why the hell is he sleeping with her in episode 10?

She's all confused, and still covered in cheating juices and he just allows sex to happen with a woman who broke him... Oh, he's giving his noble speech about how he needs a fresh start... A minute after they've finished ####ing.

Tennis Girl's mother being the lesbian... Hasbian was an interesting account of history repeating.

Snoop Dog, seemed like he was going some place a bit more predatory.

 

Because they both got caught up in a moment of passion, desperate for things to be as they were.

 

She was after a roof.

Sleeping outside is shit.

So yes, Jenny was Humpty Dumpty trying to put her life back together, but Tim knew she should've stopped half way through, but what's a minute and half between friends?

Is the student he's thinking about, over 18?

Tim seems more worried about losing his job, than going to jail.

Bed time.

 

Tim coaches the university women's swim team, so yes.

 

All woman under 30 look like jail bait to me.

 

The actress who played her was almost 30, at the time.

Almost thirty is still really scary for most men who are sober and not idiots.

NOOOO! The psycho girl, who Tennis girl picked up at the Dinah Shore tennis weekend is going to kill Tennis Girl's cat.

DON'T KILL THE CAT!!!

I'm thinking that she was a lying head case who only pretended to be a hotel liaison to trick tennis girl into a dirty liasion.

WTF? The sister from Mad About You is hitting on Eurotrash? Is this part of a revenge plot? Or is the sister from mad about you chasing down a sexy story about a sexy lady?
