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

Every Thursday i wait (somewhat) patiently for your vlog to be put up, and your recapping goodness and hilarity never fails!

Thanks for brightening up a dull weekday!

Ahh i was a minute off first comment.. and actually it was just a coincidence I noticed the vid so soon, just now was the first time i checked the site all day..

anyhoo.. guna watch now :)

------------

I usually don’t write on since i feel it’d be kinda worthless and everything which had already been said, but being one of the first to watch makes me want to write a proper comment  :)

.. uhmmm.. so many funny bits such as Karman's fake forced laugh and comment about getting herself mixed up with Bette again, and expression into the camera right after that at 9.43.. and her ‘clippity cloppity’ and Predatory giraffe! Jill talking about a little antelope(sp?)! and squeaks when she did the crying re-enactment. Dara.. your wit cracks me up and also the little anecdotes about your friends (im remembering some from last week also!).. and i love when you guys react to something funny another one of you has said

I love that piece of original artwork even more than when i saw it the first time around.. you must be estastic to own the original copy.. is it actually on the wall of your house like you said you'd put it?

Karman I have to disagree with you on something! Doritos make everything much, much worse!!!! i agree with most other things you have to say tho :P and those are awesome spotty socks Karman :P I myself am wearing some cosy toe socks which I had forgotten I owned, which i think has boosted my sock-radar.. O___o??

Welllllllllllll.. maybe i shouldn’t post comments after all.. i seem to fail in succinctness..

Oh, and HOW many times has everyone heard the Mama Mia trailer now?!! I’m not actually tired of it yet tho.. however its not quite as good as how Liz’s vlog’s sponsored by “Canada” itself :P

Always funny!!!!and Jill always hot :p

Lesbian for the best and for the worst!!!

Karman and Dara as a couple eh?

Can anyone see what Karman's ring say?

Regarding to why women are better at reading body language, "MRI brain scans show that women have between 14 and 16 areas of the brain to evaluate others' behavior versus a man's 4 to 6 areas." "Women also have a wider range of peripheral vision, allowing them to check out a man's body from head to toe without getting caught. Male tunnel vision is why a man will move his gaze up and down a woman's body in a very obvious way. This is also the reason why men are constantly accused of ogling women's bodies at close range but women are rarely accused of the same. even though research shows that women do more of it than men. It's not that men are bigger oglers than women--men's tunnel vision means they keep getting caught."

From the book The Definitive Book of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease. This is a very good read, especially for those with broken gaydars like me. 

download these vlogs? Because I would watch them over and over and giggle like a kid instead of doing actual work. 

Never met a pearl quite like you that could shimmer and rot at the same time through

 Freakin funny!!! Karmen and Dara were great!!

and I loved that Jill used  the Baby Bridget picture haha

"All you need is love"- Beatles

"Clipity clopity" lol, I'm so stealing that! That was great!

I'm with Jill on the whole Marina thing. Everything about her is sexy, especially her confidence, even though it comes off predatory.

Great episode guys! Love the reenactments! 

That Shane/Lacey reanactment was really funny.  =)

You're great as always.  =) I was supposed to be cleaning, but i took a little break to watch the vlog.  =)

I was so not expecting to see Baby Bridget's work of art during this. That was hilarious. Shame there's more continuity on a v-log then on... certain shows.

Anywho, I, too, have had straight guys hit on me. Perhaps it's my own fault for going to a straight club. But, in my defense, I look gayer than Christmas... in July... in San Francisco. And, gay clubs here are severly lacking in existance.

Oh, and the Shane/Lacy reenactment is so much more disturbing than the Tyson thing from the ANTM recap. At least that one didn't evolve a bed and snuggles. Although, it did involve caulk. Hmm...

-------------------

~It means pride.~

Wow this was probably my favorite one! Jus cause this is the longest I've seen Karman play Shane and I LOVE when she does that. I like Dara playing Lacey too and I appreciate this one more because I know that Dara and Karman were both REALLY uncomfortable doing this (double homo, double homo friends at that!), but they did it for us! And as usual it turned out GREAT and HILARIOUS! 

"Cuddling is rad"-Karman

Love you guys!!!!!!

And wow who is Dara Nai anyway? We thought we knew, but we didn't keep her in the center guys...she's been unleashed!!!!!

Jill doing the Steindahl thingy, had me giggling at first, but when they showed the Baby Bridget picture I lost it. I had to stop the vlog for about 5 mins just to try to get myself under control again... My mum now thinks I'm officially crazy, and is threatning to have me commited... which is fine with me as long as they have internet there so I can get to hear about the grizzly bear...

Karman and Dara doing the whole couple thing, is just downright creepy, funny as hell, but oh so creepy...

Dara, I can't believe you think the music for the entire series was unarguably good?  Season 1, I can get behind, but the rest?  Really?

Jill, I can't believe you completely let that slide.  Talk about biting your tongue.  Ouch.  I know you have your reasons, but that was just awkward.  :)

Regarding Marina flirting with Tim, I believe it was about her controlling him and the situation.  Encouraging Tim to have a crush on her is an excellent way to stay close to Jenny.  Chances increase of having Tim push Jenny towards her in what he believes is just friendship for his own purposes of enjoying her company.  In turn he'll feel more in control of the situation.  It makes an affair that much easier when invited into the home. 

Thanks for the great re-cap ladies.  I'm going to have to bust out the DVD's because I don't remember a lot of this episode.

The loved the reenactments! Dara and Karman as Lacey and Shane were hilarious. I can't stop laughing while watching.

Although the vlog was overall entertaining and funny, I miss the interactions and random talk of the "old" vlogs. And Jill was unusally quiet in the last few vlogs.

Lacey/Shane reenactment: Funny yet disturbing. Nice.

Wow, just exactly how many of these Vlogs did you guys shoot at once? Kudos.

-Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

I blog, therefore, I am

 the more i see the reenactments;the more i get addicted to it!

i specially love when" Shane Kregloe" says to "Lacey Nai":"i'm pretty sure i've rocked your world",genius!!And i appreciate the reference to Bridget and i'm sure that Stendhal would have a similar reaction to baby Bridget'drawing.congratulations for your work!!

PS:maybe Jill could make dvd to teach "the four steps, techniques of cleaning" for helping people who are untidy like me!

Awesommme and hilarious, you know what they get better and better each week. I was laughing my ass off at the reenactments. Jill does seem a bit quiet lately but thats what happens after a break up with baby bridget who is still inlove with you, ahh relationships are hard =D Dara and Karman what a great couple lol i could see how uncomfotuble that was for you but hey your dedicated to the fans so what can i say

 Also i hate getting hit on by men, its my own fault for having straight friends who insist on taking me to straight clubs, mind you theres only 2 known gay bars where i live but still im too nice to say im not interested and dont want to hurt their feelings so i wear a ring and tell them im engaged and they back off, obviously it comes off when i manage to take my friends to the gay clubs =] i find it much easier than explaining to someone im not interested because im gay and get comments like can i watch i just flash my ring finger before they have chance to talk

In season 2 the horrible theme song appears. If you watch the dvd's with commentary,(which all dedicated fans have), then you'll hear the actors make fun of it too. They also have music throughout the whole second season that's just the character in the scene's name repeated over and over to barely there music. I have found songs that I really like on the show, but I've heard stuff that was so off the mark. Using the same musical guests as different characters was a bad idea as well.

 I love that season one is being reviewed by WGN! 

Discombobulated, unhinged. To quote Karman (kinda) "everyday is like a vocab lesson with you"

The three of you imitating Marina was hilarious. As always the reenactments rocked, but the Dara/Karman one was jocular, Shane handcuffed? PRICELESS

Greatest quotes:

- She is like a pony, she is all klipity klopity.

- I´m not datable and I´m not nice.

- I´m obssessive in my cleaning but not in my dating.

I have been waiting for this all week.
The reenactments were amazing. The Dara/Karman on was a very amusing sight to see. I think my favourite part of this vlog was the whole talk about a giraffe's tongue...that was just priceless.

Loved loved loved the reenactments especially the LAcey/Shane one although I will admit that at first it made me a bit squirmish.  Why is it that Karmen makes the perfect SHane. Only eating the pepperoni not the bread. Ha!  And nice poster cameo.  Okay im not really a neatfreak but I kind of want to know what this 4 step process is,  Jill!

"I don't kiss girls who wear doilies"

Love the way Jill was touched by Baby Bridgette's artwork of love.

So much good, it is hard to itemize it.

Fav Lines-

Jill: I was liked by one last... on my birthday. (out of context, FTW)

Dara: She's like garlic.  She makes everything better. (So true)

Karman: It reminded me of Margret Hamilton from The Wizard of Oz. (I'm never seeing that scene without laughing now.)

"Bad jokes are us, ur me."

I just have to ask this question though.  What is on the menu at Peckers Restaurant?  Nice recap and excellent re-enactments! And I agree that Marina and Peggy Peabody have that magical something that just draws one in. Karina Lombard and Holland Taylor really own these characters.  Hot hot hot!!! Muy Caliente!

I really like the wgn-vlogs about season 1, because they are calmer than the older wgn-vlogs. those were funny and hilarious to watch, but now you guys actually recap more and I really enjoy that!

obviously, karman and jill disagreed with dara on the music and whether it was good or not. so why didn't you guys discuss that? I don't like it when jill holds her tongue, it was kinda awkward and if you disagree, its perfectly fine to say so.

loved the reenactments, karman is the perfect shane!!

http://babydyke.blogspot.com/ - my take on all things lesbian

I laughed hysterically when you girls were talking about how guys will hit on any girl, but lesbians will only approach after the green light is given, and most of the time, not even then! My friends and I were talking about this at the Outfest after-party for Gimme Sugar on Tuesday (and might I say even though there weren't that many girls there, there were more good-looking lesbians under 26 there than I've seen in a long time).

Anyways, my point, we were talking about how no one else approaches each other; we all stay in our own little groups. And then we convinced the one girl in our group - and pretty much the only one I've ever known to transcend lesbian groups at bars/club - to hit on another girl. She did, and we watched the "master" at work...

PS. Loved the Baby Bridget drawing :)

i called in sick this morning just to watch the vlog! totally worth it! :D

p.s. i lied. i actually have a real fever. :)

my friends are always talking about how awkward lesbians are and that'll they'll eye F* you until you come over to ask if they have some sort of weird eye disease or just stare back strangely.

OMG! Hilarious...from the randomness to the recap! I really enjoy revisiting season one and hearing what you all have to say about it. My perspective kind of leans toward Jill's as I thought Marina and Jenny were HOT! :D

On a side note, I know I have seen that orginal art somewhere before!  Hmmmmm.  ;)

Is it weird that I like to read the comments before I watch?
I used to do that with ScribeGirrl's recaps too... Hmmm.

Great vlog, I loved it. Missed the out-takes and everyone seemed a little quiet, but that's ok, I'm watching before bed, so it's a good thing. Wonder what's going on over on the other side of the world.

Does anyone else find it weird that we watch these people talking to us every week/whatever, but they have no idea who we are (as individuals)?
