We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" 5.1

Yeah, it's true. We've been waiting for this. America's Next Top Model was fine, but we've had to make our own gay fun with that show (wigs, kielbasa sausages, need I say more?). But The L Word? Our work is half done for us!

Our first blog of the new year is also our first L Word vlog of the year. For the inaugural episode, we talk about everything from podcasts (heh) to how to choose a wingman.

We also discuss:

1.) Why Jane Lynch is a genius
2.) If there really is such a thing as Hot Prison
3.) All the ways in which Jenny has lost her damn mind

We talk about other stuff too, but you'll have to watch the vlog to find out what. Oh, all right, I'll give you a hint: bondage.

Welcome back to Nowhere!

    YAAAY!

    I've been waiting for this all week!

    You guys totally rule!

     

    P.S. You know what I just realized.. Dara's last name is actually

    Finnish and it means either (depending on the situation)

    'marry' or 'f*cks'. Just to let you know ^^

    not only but also's picture

    What? No way!!

    The same word for "fucks" and "marry"? Now that's gotta be confusing!

    Not Only But Also

    kiss_hester's picture

    happy new year to you too!

    That Tasha doll is awesome! Karman, love the hair! And you guys should make an official commercial for AE and spread it over the internet, that would be so much fun!!

    Oh, and does no one think that that woman-for-tina-liking-shane was very hot!? I did:p OMG! Why the hell do you have those toys at home!? haha! hilarious!

    Yeah!! Get Jane Lynch on the vlog!! That would be the coolest thing ever!

    Finally

    :-)

    I needed some distraction ... thanks a lot!!!

    raven's picture

    Good to see

    you ladies back in action!!!! As usual you made a lackluster episode funny. Jill.....you do a great impression of a dog barking. I want to mention since you brought it up about Laurel Halloman (sp?) and her head action, that Gabrielle Christian does the same thing and I find it very distracting sometimes. Karman...great reanactment...you both were really in character ;) Daria...loved the sock puppets!!! Hope the Lword eps get better, but you girls rock!!!!

    detective's picture

    Ha! The Sock puppets......

    If you would of went there with the sign language....I was cracking up even though you didn't follow through (for good reason)

    sparklypinkgoth666's picture

    OH.MY.GOD

    I waited long for you gals to do this vlog and it was well worth the wait. Karman - great hair, Jill, I hope you had fun filming, Dara, comedy genius as ever....

     

    thanks for the hard work!!!!

    thank you ladies and welcome back! *big hug*

    Thank god I didn't have a meeting.........

    wowww

    Hi,Sooo good to see You back! You are amazing, can't wait for the next time! Thanks!

    even if there's not bondage

    even if there's not bondage in every episode, could you guys do a similar reenactment each week? after all, i don't think you had to go to the dollar store for the appropriate props (for once) and jill, hands down - topped jodi's performance by a mile. or more.

    just consider it. please. ;)

    talkingguineapig's picture

    *jaw drops*

    Best re-enactment EVER! :P

    I can't wait for the next vlog :D 

    TheWeyrd1's picture

    OMG

    "This is called letting go"....snicker....omg...Jill who knew....well maybe Karmen did...wow I think MP's dating stories video rubbed off on you guys! Okay...this is like watching the L Word only you talk directly to us...like you know us...somehow...
    Jade123's picture

    Just

    ...brilliant.

    So good to have you guys back again.

    Jenny is fast becoming one of my favourite characters; I think she's so hilarious. Mia absolutely nails it so you end up loving her and not hating how ridiculous her character is!

    The S&M scene was just genius. Love it.

    Abana's picture

    Finally

    This was a long wait - and Welcome back!

    I loved the sock puppets and the re-enactment was awesome. This scene made me cringe when I had to watch Bette and Jodi but now I think I have to LMAO.

    Bondage

    So, uh...guys... where did you get all of that bondage equipment? :P
    boywithmoonandstars's picture

    Traumatic pet re-enactment

    During the S&M re-enactment I couldn't help but notice a cat peeking out of the top tier of the cat tree in the corner. I know, i know, what the hell was I looking up there for?
    Melissa257's picture

    Yeahhhhh

    I kept thinking that same thing during the whole scene...I wonder who's those were!!! 

    Likedrew's picture

    The break seemed to last

    The break seemed to last forever!

    Love to new dolls, especially the one for Tasha

    Jill i think with your bondage skills and the equipment you got (talking about handcuffs - sorry couldn't help it) you'll be very welcome in hot prison!

    starbuckismine's picture

    Random question: Why were

    Random question: Why were you guys screaming AfterEllen.com a lot? There is reason or?  I say AfterEllen without the .com part all the time.

    Good to have you back, The Lword is a snark fest.

    Cos in the ep they kept shamelessly promoting OurChart.com in the Alice/Phyllis podcast scene.

    Worth the wait...

    The wait for the newest vlog was definitely worth it because it was hilarious!  The Jodi/Bette re-enactment was the best re-enactment ever and I couldn't stop laughing!

    You three never disappoint and I thank you for that.

    Welcome back

    Awesome vlog ladies.

    That reenactment, I have no words. lol

     

    Can't wait for next week.

    the_pressure_of_a_name's picture

    "How wrong was that?!"

    HAHA... Karman you agreed to that!

    "DO SHUT UP!" I love you and your accents Jill...

    Dara, kudos on the handheld filming of the re-enactment!

    Susi's picture

    Yay

    You're back. It feels like I have been waiting for this forever, but it was worth the wait. You were awesome as always, thank you for lighting up an otherwise useless day.

    Now I just have to suffer through the wait til next week...

    cleverasabelle's picture

    you so crazy....

    I think I wanna have your babies.

    That Tasha sock puppet is the best thing I've seen in ages. I've been waiting for this vlog all week and you did not disappoint. :)

    kreigen's picture

    :D

    That re-enactment had me in stitches - that's the funniest thing I've watched all week :) The real scene with Jodi/Bette I thought was just plain weird - I think your version was much better (along with the theme song)

    "Oooo baby baby I miss you I love you"..."Yehmetoo" :)

    blabbermouth's picture

    me. you. her. yet.

    yay! the girls are back - something else to look forward to when i get home from work!

     

    a few questions:

    -is it huh-LAY-nuh? or HELL-e-nuh? I always called her by the second pronunciation...am i wrong?

    - I also wondered why they got to eat in the cells. Never been to jail myself, but I figured it was common practice to eat in some kind of mess hall?

    - what happened to jill's tanktops?

     

    ps - I think LH/Tina is GREAT this season - there's something different, funnier and sweeter, and warmer than ever. yay!!

    Tapeworm's picture

    hmmmmz

    they do say HELL-e-nuh on the show....
    Pyewacket's picture

    - what happened to jill's tanktops?

    Ha!  I must admit that's the first thing that came to my mind.  lol  :)
    Twstdtrinity's picture

    Daayyyumm!

    You guys are fucking gifted. As is Dara's girlfriend. Those sock puppets are fantastic!

    This comment was brought to you by AfterEllen.com ;o)

    I'm like besided myself with how damn good this vlog was. You guys make every show seem 10 times better. Those who love the amazing Jane Lynch are gold members in my book.

    Jenny has finally slipped out of her final phase in which all super crazy bitches blossom from. The cocoon of crazy. Now she knows what she wants and doesn't care how many little people or friends she has to step on to get there. Sheer brilliance Mia Kirshner is. She makes evil look so sweet.

    That reenactment was so fucking awesome. That was probably one the most hilarious things I've ever seen. Soooo messed up but hilarious. It literally had me rolling with laughter. Oh poor Karman. When Jill pulled out that huge freaking choker I was like "No no no bad pulp fiction flashback. Please don't hurt Karman!".

    Oh Dara I love your brain. Your brain produces my kind of humor. The weird smart disturbing humor that only few people have and appreciate.

    Oh Jillie, every vlog you make me add something new to the long list of reasons why I heart you.

    Oh Karman I freaking love you so much. The stuff comes out of your mouth is either comedy gold or adorable.

    Welcome back Ladies!!

    gkregloe's picture

    karman

    Karman is my daughter and I agree. I love her too.  She is not only adorable but smart as a whip.  I love Afterellen.com and seeing Jill and Dara with Karman. I have yet to meet Dara but know it will be a hoot.

    spotticus's picture

    Welcome to "afterellen.com"

    Welcome Gail.  Yes, Karman is funny and smart, but I'm guessing the apple didn't fall far from the funny and smart tree, no?  And I suspect that meeting Dara will be a hoot. These three kids are so entertaining together.
    gkregloe's picture

    Karman

    I like to think that too. But doubt I can take much of the credit since "I didn't know nothing about birthin no babies". She has such a quick wit and is such a kind hearted person that it's hard not to think she will continue to do great things. I got my big ole fat fingers crossed for her.

    Thank you for your sweet remarks.

    I agree the trio rocks big time. Surely there is a TV PRODUCER dying for those girls to work for "HER".

     

     

     

    Twstdtrinity's picture

    Yay for Karman's Mama!

    Yay for Karman's Mama!
    gkregloe's picture

    YAY for Karman's mamma is right

      I want to see the words KARMAN in lights in Vegas.  How cool would that be for her to go by one name only -- Just like our idol the king, ELVIS. 

     I love the dog in the window.  I am such a big push over for dogs and this one is precious.

    I'm gonna go to LA and search pretty soon.  Ya think she might need an agent, unlike Brooke's mamma.

     I so love seeing good things written about that GIRL and she deserves it all, even tho I am BIG MAMMA.

    Yay!

    You are back again!

    This vlog is one of my favorites things right now. The L Word and you guys mixed in to this blog.   Can't wait until next week!  Keep up the good work!!

    I didn't actually catch the

    I didn't actually catch the first episode of Season 5. I don't get Showtime, so...

    I never would have pegged Tina and Bette as those types of parents- trying to get their kid into the elite. I'm reading "The Overachievers" by Alexdanra Robbins right now; this culture is getting a little scary...

    Anyway, I love you guys! You're fantastic.

    Check out Lesbians On Ecstasy's version of The L Word theme tune:
