Starting the L Word (for the first time)

I'm four episodes into season two and Tina hasn't told Bette yet that she is carrying her baby... Not that technically it's her baby? They are not married, because gay marriage is still an immoral monstrous crime for the next three years in California... How has no one noticed the bulge?

Alice called Tina fat and blamed the less than sexy gut on depression.

A man wouldn't notice, but in exactly the same situation a woman tries to ignore a life threatening eating disorder, because saying something might be rude.

Sigh.

Yes, men are the real monsters.
 
It is Bette's baby. She picked the donor so it's like she provided the sperm.

Bette is too wrapped up in her little "work bubble" to notice.
 
Genetically it's not Bette's baby, and without marriage or adoption it's not legally Bette's baby either.

Morally and ethically, it may be Bette's baby, but Bette broke up the relationship before she knew the baby existed, thus unwittingly asking to abandon the child, and therefore their relationship is severed.

Bette is a dead beat mom, who sacrificed her rights to be a happy family, when she started fooling around with that carpenter.

Lisa, Devon Gummersall, is in the TV series that I am watching right now, The Last Ship, during an L-Word micro-break.

"She" got old, and balder.
 
She has not offered to put a cent, ONE CENT towards that child's education or upkeep.

Deadbeat.

(Ignorance is never a good defence for anything.)

Jenny found her new room mate on Craig's List, meanwhile the TV show Difficult People that I was almost ordering you to watch earlier today, Julie bought some off-broadway tickets on Craig's List on the new episode last night.

The world has not changed so much in 12 years. :)

The theme song is not growing on me, but I do appreciate the presence of swear words in the lyrics. :)
 
Mark (the roommate) is less than decent.

The theme song always annoyed me but the montages are cool.

Consider me a "Difficult Person" because I didn't even watch the trailer.

:D

Mark is an idiot.

He could charge triple for toilet-cams.
 
His comeuppance is going to be amazing.

Did Mark think he was being clever, telling Jenny why he thought that she wasn't a lesbian?

Jenny cut her hair to avoid being on this man's hit list.

That's horrible to put a women into that situation?

Or did Jenny think short hair was going to get her more ass because she's sadly not making anyone's gaydar ping?
 
Becuase you hare using 8 year old memories.

Hey Mark, come join us! Can I ask you a question? Smoke? There wasn't the question.
What? Those girls They're all gay, right? Yeah.
They pretty much are.
- What about you? - What about me? Are you gay? No.
I don't know.
What do you think? If I saw you at a bar, I would assume you are straight.
- That doesn't really mean anything.
- No, it doesn't.
- Never know these days, do you? - No, you don't.
Except.
You knew they were.
Right? That's true.
So what do you think it is? I don't know.
I'd say it has something to do with their attitude.
It's not that they're masculine, or anything, 'cause actually some of them are pretty feminine.

You know? It's they have these haircuts.
These very cool haircuts don't get me wrong - it's not - more it's obviously more than a haircut.
But it's - no, it's true.

It's this something that they exude that's I'm gonna try and put my finger on it.
Good.
Tell me when you do, Mark.
I will.
I'll tell you when I do.
- Don't look.
- Sorry.
That's naughty.

Mark gave her the idea, because he has sexist theories that may have been more clever than sexist in 2005.

Jenny thought he was charming.

But that could just because she was too dumb to be offended, or he was too attractive to be offensive, even to a homosexual.

Beautiful people are allowed to talk complete bollocks.
 
Shane and Jenny are Judgy losers who are ILLEGALLY subletting.

I'm guessing it's illegal?

It's Illegal if Tim, Tim? It's Tim. It's illegal if Tim's name is still on the lease (it's not actually subletting because Tim is not making a profit from being a middle man) and the the landlord is trusting Tim's creditscore ( in relation to his job as a teacher) to keep faith that the next months rent will arrive in a timely fashion.

If the landlord was aware that Tim, and Tim's job was gone, then Jenny and Shane would be evicted and homeless.

I left a house once, and found out that the landline was still in my name a year later. They paid the bill, everything was fine, but so easily they could have gone completely mental, and I could have been liable for thousands.

Mark paid first, last and an additional 6 months in advance. Even if they didn't give all that money (8 thirds of 8 months rent = more than 2 and a 1/2 months of full rent from all three of them. These baby brained irresponsible losers who will not be able to make rent next month (I'm guessing?) after they have spent Mark's generous advance on coffee.) tot he land lord, it's more his house than their house because he's paying the bills, so they are just entitled princesses living beyond their means not expecting to be used by assholes who are cleverer than they are.

Alternatively what he's doing is so immoral it's a crime.

Serious jail time for invading privacy like that.

Jenny is dumb, and Shane is also a scumbag. They may not find him charming, but they believe him to be inoffensive and safe, when it's pretty fricking clear tot he audience that he isn't.

I don't care that he's a pornographer.

It's his other job.

Auto-documentarians are the worst.

Its a license to masturbate (figuratively) in public.

"Do you mind if you're near me while I'm filming myself being amazing?"

Shane's new job as a fixer for the movie studio is a game changer though.

1. They don't need Mark anymore, so he gets the flick.

2. Shane doesn't need Jenny anymore, so she gets the flick.

3. Jenny is alone with no room mates, can't make rent, she's homeless and bounty hunters go looking for Tim to make him pay Jenny's arrears.

:(

No one is innocent, but it's not criminal to be a moron.

Oh!

Tim is innocent.
 
MELISSA RIVERS!!!????

Joan told this joke, probably more than once: "I can't die, I can't die, if I die, who the hell is going to look after my no talent daughter?"

Hate, still hate the theme song.
 
Did you notice the Yoda quote?

The looks on Alice and Dana's faces during the drive home were priceless.

This is old. Between seasons 1 and 2 but worth a watch.

Awww, they're all so much prettier.

Does Helena want Tina's baby as a replacement, because she's totally going to lose her kids? Tina is just along for the ride, any pregnant lesbian would have done.

Children who are not idiots know that babies make their life harder in the present and fractionalize their inheritances in the future, which is why those kids don't give a shit about mommy and mommy's special friend going down on each other.

If Mommy's special friend had had a penis, those brats wouldn't have been chilling out watching cartoons.
 
Helena gets turned on by danger-sex.

Dangersex is hard to come by when you're a billionairess.

Nothing is dangerous as long as Helena is throwing money around, she can walk into a random house hold and have sex on their kitchen table WHILE THE FAMILY WATCHES.... Dickie Roberts? Fully grown David Spade pays a normal family to pretend he is their 10 year old son for a month as researches for a role in a movie.

HA! Mary McCormack doesn't like being called "dude" either. :)

As a control freak, it's debilitating for Helena not to have anything to take control over, so she creates situations... Super paranoid, but you know how Helena met Bette first? And Bette said "I have a pregnant girlfriend"? Can't it be possible that that's when Helena found out about Tina, and decided to court her from there because of the drama, and the baby, and the sex?

(Helena is Rumplestiltzskin's first wife on Once Upon a Time, so I subconsciously classify her as more a monster than is probably necessary.)

Mark is an idiot.

He waited done day too long to take the cameras down before getting caught for a movie he can't sell or afford to make. There was no money or movie without releases, and is backer was going to send him to the cleaners looking for reimbursement. If he'd just been a little faster in cleaning up after himself, and destroyed all his work product, he would have gotten away Scott Free.

His comeuppence by the way was weak.

Tying him down and tattooing "rapist" on his forehead seems the least he was owed.

Love Boat porn is hot.

Marion Ross was in 14 episodes of Love Boat, and probably the last 14 episodes.

No one has to know that.

Cruise Director Julie is going to be in the new Twin Peaks?

Cool.
 
Which you ruined for me, because that love boat cosplay was in the youtube you showed me yesterday. :)

I hate Mark more because he's not evil.

His redemption story is shite, and the idea that no one has stabbed him is ridiculous.
