Starting the L Word (for the first time)

Lovely is not the same as beautiful.

Although, I'm not repelled so much since she stopped dying her eyebrows invisibly blonde.
 
I was fucking right!

Episode s02e12 and Jenny is such a fuckup that she can't make the rent, and the videorapist who video raped her, offers to pay her rent because she is too traumatized to work, or her waitressing is... She is too proud to take his money because he might mistake that for a redemption path.

If Mark had left without asking for his advance back, Jenny would be fine. If Mark had left and demanded his advance back, they would have been double screwed. Mark should be in jail.

Jenny needs to go back to her small town and live with her parents, because she is a baby. If she goes back to where she comes from, then rent is probably a third to a 1/4 what is is in LA, and she doesn't have to live with her parents. Is the writers course free?

Cobie!

Cobie Smulders was the female lead in How I Met your Mother and Maria Hill (Tight S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform, large sidearm.) in the Avengers movies.
 
I doubt the writers workshop was free.

It is very odd that Jenny and Shane never pressed charges.

Yes. That is why she refuses his money.
 
Yes, I see that that is why, which is why she is an idiot.

They should milk him.

Pride is for rich people.

If they pressed charges then every one would know that they are dummies, and a 100 assholes would repeat the same set up all over LA. Footage would be played in court, and might make it into the real world and internet. It's sad to be haunted by a sex tape.

That's probably not their reasoning.

My girlfriend says that Mark and Dana were hooking up in real life, which probably turned a 4 episode contract into a 10 episode contract, which turned into a drastic realtime rewrite on who the character is.

Did you know that Mark and Dana were an item JG?
 
I did. And I also know that the actor (Eric Lively) is the older brother of Blake Lively.

The idea the Mark may have had a redemption re-write because of his personal relationship, is an interesting theory.
 
I thought it was funny that everyone who didn't watch Gossip Girl thought that the show was about Blake's character.... Which if you get all the way to the... Spoilers.

s03e01.

The car chase was hilarious. I know that they needed something to do with Helena, but I can't afford to clean my car, I need more drugs vs. I just bought a movie studio? Although in the season 2 final, Helena asking Cobie to carry her baby... She's a baby bump banger.

Alice pregnant.

I can see her forgetting that she is pregnant and accidentally slamming her womb with a car door. She's turned fucking up into an art form.

Wow, I said go home Jenny, so she went home, and what a clusterfuck that turned out to be. Mrs Schecter was Lois Lane, Superman's girlfriend in the 70-80s movies. The ENGINEERED confrontation with her parents was stupid. "Hey can you fuck me loud enough to wake my parents up, no, I said louder, do I have to pull your hair, louder, faster, louder!" Wow... and Daddy reacted exactly how you thought he would react, AND YOU HADN'T PACKED?

"Hi dad, I've just offended you, soiled your house and shat on your religion, and told mum to dump you, but would you mind if you waited 15 minutes while I packed my bag, even though I've been planning this for the last 6 hours?"

Unless making him wait while she slowly folded her underwear was just intentional compounded humiliation assault against towards her parents?

Yep. Loved the car chase!

"DANA!"

That first home visit went horrible. The social worker was George's mom from Dead Like Me, btw.

The scene where Bette and Tina are at the baby group, during the song. The part where it goes "Hello to Lola." That's Laurel Holloman's real baby. She ended up having an emergency c-section, just like Tina.

Alice was not pregnant. Nope.

I still want to try those cookies Lara was going to make Dana. They sounded yummy!
 
Bette is coming off as a thug who will not bend or adapt to her surroundings and is getting fucked up for her efforts. Pride cometh before the fall.

She's a cautionary tale?

I know George's mum from other places. I want her. She will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine. The failure of that visit was extreme. You can hire people to make sure the adoption goes through. Specialist Coaches who show you what to do and say, and to make sure that your house is exactly the baby friendly shape that...

Tina wants cock?

IIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting.

I'm thinking that Bette is like that Tinder Tap out clip I showed you from Nikki Glasser's talk show. They're trying to see how pompous and awful they have to make Bette before being so unbelievably beautiful is no longer worth staying around to listen to and accept her bullshit.

Being (as good as) married to an asshole is not grounds for cheating.

Just leave her, please.

Weirdly Tina is the breadwinner all of a sudden, so she doesn't even need Bette like she used to need Bette. Tina grew up, but Bette is still acting like a parent to her wife, when she really no longer has the right to be that obnoxious until she gets a job and...

Seriously? Why the hell don't they already own that tiny house if both of them were making good money before they went baby mad? They are two years away from the housing market crash, and I got a feeling that if any one was a numb nuts with no control over their finances it's Bette and Tina.

Girl. You do not quit your job to get pregnant, you quit your job AFTER you get pregnant. Or you go on paid maternity leave for a year, and then you quit. Especially if each implantation trial is ten thousandish dollars per attempt.

http://www.midlandfertility.com/fees/list-of-charges/

These are probably current prices, so maybe this is twice what they paid in 2004?

2 grand for screening the sperm to make sure it's the good stuff, thousands for therapy and inspections, thousands for 10 plus months of accompanying medication, and then 4 grand for the actual implantation. Oh, and $250 a year to store that dudes sperm for later in case they want siblings for their buh-buh.

Bette has a family to support and should take a job in McDonalds scrubbing toilets if it is offered to her. You know, or she hates her baby.

Yeah, I always thought it was weird that Tina quit her job to get pregnant. But I wonder if Bette talked her into it?

In case you hadn't noticed, Bette is very controlling. Now that Tina is the breadwinner, she definitely feels a loss of control.

Tina is going through some things, sexually...

Oh. During the filming of this season, Jennifer Beals was pregnant.
 
Women are always trying to steal my sperm.

I assume you're all pregnant.

Bette is righteous with no consideration that she may be wrong. If this was a lifetime movie, you'd expect that she was a good person who wants good things, and all opposition was evil and petty who were bad. Black an white. This here however isn't even shades of gray, Bette is shooting herself in the foot.
 
Shane in a dress?

Her boobs are much bigger than I thought that they would be.

Although I did forget to zero in, and access if her nipple confidence was merrited.

(I'm taking a break. Watching a different show about a gun runner from the 1970s.)
 
She's doing it to get in good graces with Carmen's mom.

She has been topless in the show. You didn't check and see if her nipples had confidence then?
 
Nipple confidence is in the mind.

What I wanted to see was how difficult her nipples were to be confident about.

If Shane has amazing boobies, then really, where the heck would a lack of nipple confidence eventuate from?
 
You need a hot cocoa to go with all that deep thought?
