We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" Season 1, "Lies, Lies, Lies"

Just when you thought it was safe to back into The Planet, Marina and Jenny are up to their old tricks, with chemistry so palpable they could set the place on fire (I hope Marina is properly insured).

Their little tryst in the unisex bathroom is just one of several highlights we cover from this week's episode of The L Word. Others include Tina and Bette getting some Big News (i.e. Tina's pregnant), the introduction of Lisa, the "lesbian-identified man" (huh?), and Peggy Peabody kicking some CAC ass on behalf of Ms. Porter. Come to think of it, I hope the CAC has fire insurance too, because Peggy Peabody is on fire!.

We also throw in a couple of reenactments, including the sock puppet reunion of Dana and Lara after Dana's embarrassing bedroom "incident." Luckily, socks are washable.

The reenactments this week


The reenactments this week were hilarious, especially the Marina voicover: "Jen, I'm using my sexual mind control." ROFL

It's funny, I thought Marina was the hottest woman ever when The L Word first aired, but now I'm not finding her the least bit appealing. I guess my taste has changed.

My day just got better

I laughed so loud at the re-enactments that my boss came into the office to see what was going on. this was just great, it really improved my day. 
Ladyhawk1709's picture

Awesome!

I've been waiting for this all day (well I've really been waiting a whole week, but you know) refreshing like a maniac! Loved the whole Jenny/Tim thing, it was fan-bloody-tastic! And as another one said, the filthy Dana, Lara and Alice thing, LOVED IT!

EmmaCariad's picture

BABYGRRRRRLLLLL!!!!

After Ellen..came me!!

I absolutely LOVED that! The re-enactments were hilarious as always. Karman as Marina..soo funny!

One little comment though (please don't hate me). During Tina's baby check thingy, you said that Bette should pay attention and look at little Angelica... Umm, its not Angelica. Tina loses this baby.

Keep up the great work though, I love my Terrible Three! 

MWAH!

Baby...

I was thinking the same thing about the baby.
Clara's picture

you're right this baby

you're right

this baby wasn't even a girl was it?

Ping-pong balls..

...I will never be able to look at a ping-pong ball again without laughing...

Rad

Yeah I miss my funny Alice moments.....they have been few and far in between since she got with Tasha:-(

I really thought they were gonna write them differently than they did I thought that the cool thing about the Ice-T relationship was gonna be how serious Tasha is and how hilarious Alice is and really explore what it would be like to have the comic relief on the show in a relationship with someone who is so serious and so reserved......but actually all they've done is stress Alice the hell out...and now shes almost as serious as Tasha

Rad episode, hilarious as usual!!!! And wow call me naive but I did not know what they were talking about until you guys said it today....then again I was 16 when this aired so...maybe I'm allowed a pardon 

 

EDIT: I forgot to proclaim my love for THE COOLEST CHICK IN THE WORLD Karman Kregloe....you are SO EFFIN HOTT!!!!....I'll now return you to your regularly scheduled comment scroll

it won't let me edit my

it won't let me edit my comment :(

but yes, i was racing to be first.. other ppl always seem to and i never manage it

vlog is great so far.. !!

edit: although I never cared for the Lisa lesbian identified man plotline I get why he was supposed to be different from just a man who wanted to be equal. 'Cus in a later episode i think where he sleeps with Alice its shown how he wouldn't want to have 'straight' sex using his uhm.. manhood, or you know anything which would make him feel like he was a straight guy.. and when Alice convinces him to do so he gets pretty narked..

'just sayin' =)

Phantom's picture

Thank you so much for

Thank you so much for making us all laugh and for the recap. Thank you all three of you. :)

 

And mmm Dara I like how your mind was especially in the gutter this time. >_> ^^;;;;

smartie's picture

Dara's mind was totally in the gutter!

I completely agree, it was fun having Dara being the "dirty" one for a change...

*don't judge*

Lunakiss's picture

Funny as always

This episode was really funny.  The reenactments was the funniest. Jill you're such a great actress. All of you keep up the good work.
Steph's picture

I love Dara's one-liners.

"Yours is half-empty, and yours is a C-cup"...brilliant.
jeepdawg_34's picture

laughs, laughs, laughs

Karman, yes Peggy Peabody does have that way about her. I, too, am old enough to remember that commercial. That just makes us like a fine wine. Better as we age.

 Jill, great job with crazy Jenny!!

Dara, you keep getting dirtier! Nice 8) 

Julia's picture

wgn ladies

what's going on? Is it me or did all of you look especially hot in this vlogisode?!

I laughed out loud, when i saw the Lara-sockpuppet with the little chefs hat, that's awesome!

 

Clara's picture

it was so not just you!

it was so not just you! Karman was expecially sparkly today =)         but some weeks it'l be one of the other two...

and teacher crushes.. one thing to miss about school, 'cus none of the teachers in sixth form or uni have been attractive but i can think of at least 3 super attractive teachers from school.. i actually think that one of them in particular is the biggest crush i have ever had.. like even now years after i'd say i'd pick her over anyone i know/celebrity.  ..now she's had kids with the teacher who taught next door to her..  *sigh*

and Jill, esp. funny as Jenny with all that (i don't know what its called but when you don't really have someone to react with) acting.. and Marina with her sexual mind transmission and voice. hehe

Munchkin_licker's picture

Those re-enactments!

Hahahaha!

The squirting sockpuppet was hysterical!

dante72's picture

great episode

the first season of this show was so my favorite and it's so great to watch you all giving your collective take on it. it seems like you guys were having more fun with this one than you have been with the past couple,which makes watching even better. BTW,Jill if you were anymore perfect of a woman it would be painful to watch,you're awesome.all of you are.                                                                                                                    

Berna's picture

I really love the

Dana and Lara sock puppets. They look very cute with their special hats, lol.

Loved the reenactments, especially the one with Marina/Jenny and Tim. I can safely say that I never cared about Marina during the show, but I LOVE this version of her. lol. The voice of Karman makes it perfect!

I just can't wait for the appearance of toxic tonya's sock puppet or an reenactment of her. :)

Hilarious vlog ladies. And I gotta second what Stefanie said, there is something special glowy going on with you three in this one. Hot!

Natazzz's picture

Awesome reenactments

Especially loved the Jenny, Tim and Marina one-had me in stitches.

Aaah, professor crushes.

Aaah, professor crushes. Sigh. 5 years later and I still remember perfectly everything I learned in that class. I worked my ass off for that prof. I wish I had crushes like that all the time, it actually really helped :D

The lesbian identified man. I think I blocked that memory cos I had to go back and watch the episode to see what you were talking about. And now I wish I hadn't :D

Excellent vlog ladies. Karman's voice as Marina cracks me up every. single. time.

Jill, your Jenny is spot on. Hilarious.
schedulinggoddess's picture

never had a professor crush

but totally crushed on my second grade teacher,made my mom take me to her wedding (to a guy) ugh. I had issues.
Janay's picture

Me Too!

I had issues too, but in high school...i had a huge crush on my AP Biology teacher..but unlike most sane people I actually told her about it!

She thought it was funny but kinda cool and we had a cool semi-inappropriate relationship til I graduated...I'm trying to actually accomplish something in life just so I can come back and impress her...maybe try again, hey I'm not her student anymore. So what she's married, 20 years older than me, and straight....I see those as fun little obstacles!

DotDash's picture

HA!

that's hilarious. I've had so many crushes on teachers (married, older, straight ~). I'm glad I didn't know you in high school - I probably would have been inspired, and it would have been a disaster!

25th Comment!!

(sorry I had to poke fun at those "first" comments. I don't get the point.)

Excellent Vlog, as always! It makes me want to go back and watch the first season. I'm such a sap. I thought it was so cute when Lara brought Dana the rose. I loved Dana and the soup chef!

Great reenactments ya'll! So funny. I love WGN

"What Happened to the Girl...

..who masturbated in church?"  Was anyone else thinking Jenny should respond, "I don't know, I'm Jewish.  You must have me confused with some other vulnerable student you fucked!"

Alisha's picture

Maybe...

...that's why it was a church and not a synagogue.

lol no I didn't think about it 'til you pointed it out.

Karman I hear ya on the professor crush, I had a huge thing for my Italian professor and I didn't miss one class! And that was an intensive 8am class everyday! Sigh. Now shes married :/
Elisabeth's picture

Hilarious!

As always ladies, i wait for it every week and you never dissapoint :-D.

But if im completely honest, it was Karman's t-shirt that got me all giddy this week. I Heart Heart :-D! SO yeah that was totally rockin awesome Miss Karman, thank you for that and the funny you brought again this week off course!

Tim & Jenny - Hilarious!

I loved the Tim and Jenny re-enactment!

Nice job girls!

"Just Believe...."

Gaby's picture

New sock-puppets!

The reenactments had me in stitches, they were hilarious. Lara´s sock-puppet is really cool.

Karman´s speech was awesome! As was her Marina impersonation.

"I think it´s cool that it can do so many tricks" That must´ve been the best quote of this vlog.

Am I the only one who

Am I the only one who noticed that Tim was reading the advocate?? Hilarious.

Jill and Karman are freakin hot. i love them =) 

*I want you but I don't want to hurt you*

Renegade Rhymer's picture

No.

I totally noticed that too and was just reading through the comments to see whether anyone else had commented.

And I hated Beowulf too.

littlecaesar's picture

Great job (as usual) but...

I have to say, I find it incredibly hard to believe that anyone would cheat on/"not be there" with Karman. 

We're talking about Karman here.  The Elvis Presley of lesbians. I mean...really. Come on.

LMAO

I Have to agree, who ever that person was is an idiot!

The reenactment of jenny and tim in the planet was too funny, Karmens Impression of Marina was awesome!

Cheers For another Fun Filled Episode Ladies!

I had no idea...

That angry mother nature was played by Holland Taylor.  Angry is indeed sexy!  Loved the re-enactments, as always. The Jenny/Tim scene was a riot, and kudos to the puppet creator for the Lara and Dana sock puppets. I have to agree on the whole "Lisa...WTF?!?!?!" sentiment.  Thanks for recapping the season 1 reruns.  Too bad that Logo has to edit the episodes a tad before airing them. Oh well, at least we get to see them again.
Clara's picture

hunnnghhh?? what does

hunnnghhh??

what does Logo edit out? (I don't have Logo)

spotticus's picture

they have to edit out

bare breasts/nudity (or pixilate) and the 7 words you can't say on television here in the U.S. As an example, on WGN's recap  for the first episode, if I recall correctly, mentioned how Bette, after trying to give oral pleasure to Tina in the Ob/Gyn's office to help the insemination process, wiped her mouth when she came up out of the sheets. Logo edited that out.  We saw Bette come out from the sheets, but no mouth wipe. Showtime can show nudity and such, as they are a premium pay cable channel. Logo is not a premium channel like showtime or HBO, and thus has to adhere to FCC guidelines, if I understand that correctly. Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
