"The L Word" Recaps 4.8 "Lexington and Concord"

What was the name & artist of the song at the very end when Shay's dad shows up, the lines go:

Thanks! 

i'm shocked that scribbe didn't shred this episode, it was horrid.

the phrase "jumping the shark" should be updated to "scratching jenny"

alice has morphed into donna reed, its ugly. tasha smolders.....sweet jesus, those cheek bones. the dialogue between them is stupid. the war crap is tired....

 shane and paige? finally! some hot, raw, believable lesbian sex. thank you to the powers that be.....

bette and tina. sigh. i hate the part of me that really does long to see them together again. its hard to dislike tina when jenny is in the same frame. plus, i dont like the jodi character.

is it wrong that i fantasize about a season finally that involves jenny choking to death on her own vommit? sadrine holt, and the helena of yester years, are sexy bitches i love to hate. but jenny? she is just a rancid, vile, creepy troll. kill her off, please.

 papi and kit? wrongo dongo. i'd rather step on a nail then sit through that again....

no.  no.  I can't deal.  Tasha and Alice can be hot.  They can be cute.  But, please scribegrrl...please don't call them dorky.

That's reserved for Dana.

I'm not sure about Jodi and Bette after this episode.  I like them as a couple -- A lot, but I also still like Tina and Bette together.  The way Tina spoke to Bette in this episode, and the way Bette responded to her; shows there is still something there.

I like Alice and Tasha a lot.  I think they make a very good couple not only because they're so different, but the way they interact and handle the differences make them appear very compatible.

Phyllis cracks me up.

Shane and Paige are pretty cute, but I'm fairly certain it will end in heartache for Shane.  Speaking of which, it seems that Shane is going to be pretty messed up now that her father returned. 

I was starting to like Papi more because she does seem to truly care about her friends -- But then she pulled that crap with Kit and, seemingly was going to take advantage of her.  Even if she wasn't drinking, she was still in a vulnerable state and Papi knew it -- She obviously was there for her as a friend but that was not her only intention.

Jenny annoys me now, but I hope we see some positive development for her character still.

Kit and Angus (snores).

Max (snores).

You're not a terrible person, but, um, does Shay even have a room? - should the emphasis not be on have? does shay even have a room?

anyways, tasha and alice, good couple! tasha's smile is reeaaallllly nice.

i think tina still looks like she was when she was pregnant, not tina. i mean, when she was pregnant, her face was different, it's still like that, and i always notice it, kinda puts me off!!

also, i'm not sure about the whole jodi and bette as a couple. maybe it'll grow on me.

or helena and catherine. i've got a funny feeling helena is being used here, and might even end up in a lot of financial trouble.

and poor kit, she never made the chart. that made me laugh!

I just love this scene....I know...I said it earlier....but, yes...I'm in love with Tasha and Alice.  I guess it's familiar to me...or I can relate to the complexities of their relationship because...well...let's just say...I've been in an inter-racial relationship or two and yes...it's a little different...not better...or worst....JUST DIFFERENT.

All of that to say...I fell off of the sofa...LAUGHING my ass off...because Tasha said something I consider to be a CLASSIC line...and that was...OH PLEASE, THAT'S SOME WHITE GIRL SH*T.  If I had a $1 for everytime I have used that line....I would have a lot of dollars!!!  It was said in fun and joking and never taken seriously or out of context...just as Alice proved it can be.  But I thought it was funny to hear someone other than MYSELF use it....

By the way...does anyone else use this line...I must know...please reply if so!!

.OH PLEASE, THAT'S SOME WHITE GIRL SH*T.

lol..i never said it..but it had me laughing and it wasnt insulting way..it was funny..i liked that..tasha has great lines like alice...i loved the actresses chemistry

 i loved alice just laying on tasha and looking at her..i think she finds herself really caring about this woman..and things are gonna get tough for them...:(

i loved tasha saying shut up and let me **** u....lol..

and when alice talking about dick cheney and tasha is trying to sleep..

alice always talking at the wrong time..it was cute and funny

MAYBE ITS ME

 BUT I WAS LOOKING AT THE ALICE AND TASHA SCENE WHEN TASHA COMES OVER WITH FLOWERS..AND ALICE IS LIKE I THINK ITS CUTE YOUR TRADTIONA

AND PUSHES HER AGAINST THE WALL AND THEY KISSES..VERY WELL I MIGHT AT...THEN TASHA IS LIKE...OK..AND ALICE IS LIKE..OK...

THEN U SEE ALICE WALKING INTO THE KITCHEN..WHAT GOT ME WAS LEISHA FACE EXPRESSION..LOL...I DONT KNOW..ITS LIKE SHE WAS SURPRISED BY THE KISSED AND LOOK LIKE THEY BOTH WAS OUT OF CHARACTER FOR A MOMENT..LOL..MAYBE ITS JUST ME..JUMPING TO SOMETHING..BUT CHECK IT OUT..AND TELL ME WHAT YALL THINK..??..DID U NOTICE SOMETHING THERE...

I truly love the bette-tina scene. They are my favorite couple of this show. To be honest I would like to see Tina beg Bette to let her come back. It is not easy to forgive that she dumped Bette for a man. It was totally heart broken to me in season 3 when Bette took that photo with Henry's kid. I almost cried that day.

I like jodi because she puts color in Bette's life. Remember when Bette smoked pot in Phyllis party. I feel happy for Bette because when Jodi is around everything can happen. Bette deserves to have happy moments in the show and great love scenes. Anyway I know that Bette belongs with Tina but let her enjoy an unpredictable and nice relationship. I love the way Bette speaks with Jodi. I personally imitate Bette's signs in every episode.

I was amuse when the kid waved at Jodi and spoke with sign. WOW. The beautiful kid took the oscar. 

Scribegirrl….I listened to your podcast (in fact, I downloaded all of them).  You and partner are enchanting, and witty…..well done. 

You covered something that has been nagging at me and I think you are dead on about the Helena character.  It seems that she has become a plot device and is worthy of so much more (character & actress). 

In fact, if they cant find a use for her skills I recommend they inform her agent of a cast call for the part of Cherokeegal’s future partner.  Alas, we did not renew the former actress and have recently opened up the part.  Though the casting director has narrowed the field to a few call backs, I believe we have room for another audition and Helena (high maintenance, nice accent, easy on the eyes) would do nicely.

Excellent episode and can I just thank the L Word for adding Kristanna Loken to the cast. Hot is an understatement. Tall, blonde Scandinavians with sexy voices, yes please.

Also loving Alice and Tasha.

Finally some realistic sex scenes and some chemistry! 

I'm really surprised by all the Helena/Catherine love here.  I guess it's just me, but it seems pretty obvious that Catherine is using Helena.

We'll see I guess.  :)

So I just got around to actually watching this ep due to a series of irritating events. And since I always read your recap after I watch the ep.. here I am! Late to the party!

But seriously, I completely agree with everything you said about this ep! [Except in saying that Bette was giving Tina the 'I still love you look' I think it was more of a...'A few months ago? Maybe, but now I can only help you get over me and hope we stay friends for Angel'] Was that long winded? Well Bette gives powerful looks!

Oh an those scenes with Papi were cringe-worthy for me. And it was mainly because seeing Kit downing those drinks was slightly heartbreaking. I know what it's like when someone you love that's also an alcoholic starts drinking again. And I don't wont that for Kit or Bette.

=This aint a scene it's a god-damn ar.... Wait... is it just me or is that guy wearing more make up then my ex?=

(I posted this a couple days ago and it showed up and now that i've come back it's not here so i'm posting again) 

It's such a WASTE of Pam Grier's talent.  She and Jennifer are class acts and the things they give her to say and theyi BABYISH way in which she has to deliver them GRATES ON my ears, my eyes, my heart.... oh sh***t..... it's the most irritating thing about TLW.  After the career that Pam's had, the writers have done her such an INJUSTICE with this role.  She's way more deserving of so much more respect.  It breaks my heart to see the way she's dressed, the lines she has to deliver (and we can all tell that she's not into swearing - it sounds so wrong) and yeah.. the high ho was a good one.  They've put her with the kid angus, then she gets pregnant... and oh everytime i think about that voice she speaks with/in and now with frivolous PAPI - oh give us all a break IC.  Stop insulting Ms. Grier!!  It's sickening.  Season 1,2,3 and now 4.... COME ON!!! she must have done you some great injustice in another life!!

Scribe grrl.... Keep on doing what ur doing.... YOU are and EXCELLENT WRITER.  They need you on TLW.  Even though I watch all the episodes, I'm addicted to your recaps.

As for sandrine... I am not feeling her at all.

Love & Peace to all.

I said that to my partner when I saw that I was wondering if anyone else saw that. I tend to be very picky about continuity.

Things like that kill me!

good catch HotHandle

I am pretty sure that Catherine is using Helena. I don't like Catherine at all. I have a feeeling that Helena will be sad and crying at the end of the season. Well in the Lword nothing can surprise me.

Mia is a great actress. Sometimes I really hate her character (Jenny). I don't understand why jenny did not give Tina the rights to her story. I mean, in season 1 Tina was the only one friendly and supportive with her. I think Jenny is a psycho and ungrateful b.tch.

I love Marina. I mean she's WOW. When she appears everyone looked at her because She is elegant by nature. Why Showtime is unable to negotiate with her?. She's perfect for Jenny maybe Marina can fix Jenny's twisted head.

I don't know if anyone here listens to Howard Stern. I do. I love him. Sorry if you don't.

Please don't get all hissy-fitty.

His fiance Beth Ostrosky has a HARDCORE girl-crush on Shane. And its freaking Howard Stern the fuck out. He's flipping out. It's amazing. I can't believe it.

He's having Baba Booey try to book Katherine Moennig. But she won't go on. And I understand why she won't. But she should.

Apparently, Beth O can't stop watching Shane & Paige's sex scene's. And now Howard is nervous/afraid Beth is going to leave him for a woman.

INSANE INSECURITY. And again, understandably so.

But I personally love that Beth is super straight and has a blush inducing crush on Shane. Shane is clearly amazing and undeniably magnetic.
