I think I will use my Jenny declares her own show to be made of fail icon for all my L Word posts from now on. Since this has spoiler filled videos and commentary and I hate making anyone a sad panda I'm going to LJ cut this.
You know, I think this macro from After Ellen says it best with Ilene Chaiken and Showtime releasing the first few minutes of the season premiere and ruining most spoiler objecting viewers from knowing exactly who dies.
Yeahhhh, that says it all. Seriously people! WTF? I admitted earlier that The L Word is the crackiest soap opera I love but dude, I thought they had some common sense. Most people who are spoiler whores, like myself, found out with their google fu quite easily who died on the show but by releasing the first few minutes of the premiere you expose the secret to pretty much everybody, even those who wanted to not know for whatever reason. It totally ruins the suspense of the whole thing!
I don't think I touched on it before but the really petty part of me feels that of course they had to kill Jenny now that she's my second favorite character on the show, following close behind Alice. Not to mention Mia Kirshner is, imho, the best actress on that show and has made every single crazy ass thing Jenny has ever done believable just in her consistently excellent performance. She deserved better than this suck ass death. Also, isn't Jenny supposed to be IC herself? So IC kills herself on her own show? What the fuckity duck? Self hate much?
Anyway. Here's the video with Lucy Lawless still looking fabulously butch. Her character's name sucks though. Sergeant Mary Beth Duffy? Why not just name her Pollyanna Whittier? She can play the glad game while she tries to solve this game of lesbian clue. Excuse me if I get slightly bitter in my commentary at some points. I love crazy Jenny. How can she drown in Tibette's pool if she survived in the middle of the ocean on a crappy blow up raft?! Howwwwwwwww?
Sorry. I'll shut up now.

There's a lot of spoiler videos going out. This next one makes me happier though. Mostly because it has the pretty that is Helena having sex with Dylan who I always liked because I'm a sucker for that classic soap storyline where the con artist falls in love with their mark. Which is so what happened with them back in S3. Plus they're sort of made of hotness together.
Helena is flexible. This amuses and pleases me for some perverted reason. You know, before I became a massive fanfic writing fangirl for Bianca and Reese I wanted to do an All My Children/L Word fanfic crossover that had Bianca meeting Helena and them bonding and falling in love over being hot rich heiresses who have children, angsty pasts, and issues with their famous parents in common. I still might write that fic someday even though the two characters do look eerily similar in a lot of ways. That bugs me somehow.

More of the pretty Helena and also featuring cutely protective Alice bitching out Dylan. Ohhhh, Alice! You're so tiny and adorable when you try to be butch! I love my Helacious dearly. I need to write fic for them too. As long as Alice isn't the one taking the fall for Jenny's demise. Grrr. Even with the sheer pretty power of Helena I get irked when I think about the DOJ. It's so very lame.

I do love me some Lucy Lawless but the best guestbian has to be Elizabeth Berkley for me. Why? Because she was my second crush right after Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth and right before Nancy McKeon on Facts of Life. I loved Jessie Spano on Saved By The Bell. She was such a hyper feminist I couldn't help but find her gay and as a person who adores camp and movies so bad they're good I consider Showgirls to be a masterpiece of modern cinema. Plus it rocks the house that she and Jennifer Beals are BFF's in real life. Is it wrong that I want them to make out more knowing that? Probably but whatever.
Elizabeth has wonderfully long legs and they are a huge reason why I watched that reality dance competition she hosted on Bravo. It certainly wasn't for the gay boys bitching at each other. She's a good dancer too. I hope she dances with Jennifer. I think they have really nice chemistry in this scene but I'm an admitted disliker of Tibette and I look for reasons to break them up. I tend to prefer Bette with anyone but Tina and Tina is the black hole of boring to me.

Onto Shane having a cigarette and talking to Niki. Admission of Shenny! Yayyyyyy... and my happy trails off and dies along with Jenny and their argument on the dance floor. Grrr again. Though the argument is very in character. I wonder about the whole thing with Alice saying Jenny stole her idea and stuck it in the screenplay. I wonder if hot cop Lucy Lawless is going to use that as the warped reason to pin her death on Alice.
I'm convinced since IC has killed Jenny that Alice will get blamed for it since she has the spin off. It also comes from sheer paranoia on my part because with this damn show it's always the things I love that get ruined. First the crazy ass stalking Alice and Danish relationship in ruins then Dana dies of cancer then soon as I love Jenny for her complete and utterly magnificent level of crazy they kill her and so of course they have to blame Alice for her death. Thus killing and/or ruining both of my favorite characters on this travesty of a soap.

Waugh! This show is like crack. I want to quit but I can't. It's too addictive. At least it's not like meth and it can't ruin my teeth.
