the l word

I've been on a pretty big L Word kick in the past couple of days.  I'm not sure why, but it's definitely something to do that's not working or sleeping.  Meanwhile, I've been trying to resolve my feelings on the show.  While I'm so past being offended at televisual representation of socially marginalized groups just on the basis of representation,

I am so excited that you are talking about this. I am obsessed with that show on so many levels—both positive and negative—and could really talk about it for hours....

1. Tonya and I are absolutely infatuated with Jennifer Beals. Her hotness is unparalleled.


2. Bette and Tina's relationship was (is?) among the most non-communicative "lesbian relationships" I've ever seen. How could Tina not speak in specific-enough terms enough on the phone messages she left for Bette in New York during the Marcus Allenwood sperm debacle to actually communicate to her what the fuck was going on? And how can they not coordinate their message-leaving to actually talk to each other before Bette flew back to New York without having any clue what had happened?!


3. I can't stand the new theme song or the opening montage. Bettie pisses me off. EZGrrl's work with the sound effects makes me want to tear my hair out. The whole "Wet... wet... wet..." thing during the pool scene two (?) episodes ago was the fucking stupidest thing I've ever heard.


4. I find Eric Lively's storyline absolutely revolting and can't imagine how he'll ever redeem himself in my eyes.

Jennifer Beales is so fly. I cannot believe that she is over forty, but still, I'm semi-obsessed with Shane. But anyway, how do you not tell your ex-partner that you're pregnant? I don't get it.

And Mark is foul. See below.
