The Smell Word

Some of you (okay, maybe four of you) might be wondering why I haven't been blogging The L Word this season. Others of you (Ivan!) are probably happy. For those few that are wondering, keep reading—Ivan, move along—I'm going to do a bulleted list after the jump of the most memorable moments thus far.

• When Ilene Chaiken promised us more sex this season, I was stoked. Upon discovering that Jenny would be starring in most of these sex scenes I became more choked than stoked.
• My favorite new love-to-hate characters are Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindi. I say it that way because that's exactly how Dawn Denbo (with her lover, Cindi) introduces herself every. single. time. I'm considering adopting this phrasing with everyone, regardless of whether or not I've ever seen them naked. "I'm Judy McGuire and this is my lover, Inky." It has a certain ring to it, doesn't it? Added bonus fact: Dawn Denbo (aka Elizabeth Keener) is Catherine Keener's sister!
• I'm sorry, but Marlee Matlin is not hot and the retarded Bette/Tina/Jodi triangle is starting to seriously work my nerves and make me hate Bette. Under normal circumstances, I love Bette.  Please stop.
• Can Alice quit being a jerk and go back to having hot sex with Tasha? And while they're at it, can the writers quit changing Alice's personality every season? It was bad enough when she was losing her shit over Dana dumping her; I'm definitely not buying her new peppy persona as TV's out-happy "fun gay."
• Er, this is what Turkish Oil Wrestling usually looks like. NOT this.
• Though she's undergone more personality transplants than Erica Kane, I'm not buying Helena running off with her prison papi.
• Is Max going to fuck Jodi's super cute interpretor or what? And since Max didn't get the surgery, will doing so make them both straight?

That's all for now. I've read some spoilers and it looks like things might be looking up this week. I'll let you know.

I concur. I took lots of sensitivity training for me to appreciate the show in all it's touchy-feely glory, but the writing and direction this season is driving me up the wall.
Be on the lookout for Keener on regular TV munching on something else in the backseat of a car. Not what you're thinking...more like a cheeseburger.

I saw that--an ad for Lay's potato chips!

Bette and Tina being all wimpy, blinky and hesitant with each other is making me serious urpy. They made Jenny a film director. Why not make her a nuclear scientist?

Gee, do you think Kelly McGillis' character will turn out to be g-a-y? I can't imagine!

Jenny's assistant -- where have I, hmmm -- that storyline seems so familiar but ummm -- DUH! Like no one's ever seen "All About Eve"? Argh.

Officially bored with Cybill Shepherd, and her perma-pout daughter Clementine better put out or shut up.

At least Shane is not annoying, however there is not enough of her, and that is very annoying.

I have spoken.

hate, hate, hate the show.
btw - if you ever wondered what catherine keener would look like with a nose job - just take a look at her sister. her dr. should have his hands removed.
