We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" Season 1 Pilot (Part 2)

This week Jill, Dara, and I continue our discussion of the pilot episode of everyone's favorite lesbian drama, The L Word.

Among our many topics are Marina's moves (is groping Jenny during their first kiss understandable or amateur?), the temporary insanity displayed by Tina and Bette when picking up a "donor" at one of Bette's lectures, and the evolution of Shane.

We also reenact Jenny's walk of shame back to her bed with Tim after getting freaky with Marina.

Jenny (Jill) and Tim (Dara) in the sack

And I'm happy to report that this week marks the return of our beloved sock puppets (thanks again to Dara and Brooke for their arts and crafts skills).

Remember the steamy love scene between Tina and Bette that closed the pilot episode? We revisit it this week, so enjoy the spectacle of hot puppet sex.

Always!

Puppet Tina with the nipple clamps, and then the yoinking, was great.

Fav Lines:


Jill- Like a little puppet.

Dara- Can they have webbed fingers and toes? A vestial tail?

Karman(to Dara)- What's wrong with you?

 Thanks for the WGN.

I hated that scene in the pilot as well. It bothered me on so many levels that I still cringed upon re-watching. However, I loved the pilot when it aired and couldn't wait to see more. Every week was like Christmas that year..every year after that (excluding the last season) was like Halloween; fun but a little scary.

Anyway, loved the nipple clamps! Great idea...I've never been able to decide whether the Bette "spasm" was hot or awkward..the debate continues...

Loved the re-enactment of Jenny crawling into bed with Tim. "Musky" *snort*

Even got a kick out of Jill's Howard Dean scream at the end :)

(Got an even bigger kick out of seeing a pic with Dara and Katherine Brooks on MySpace!)

WGN rocks!

This was hilarious. Can't get enough of you guys. I was laughing so much the vlog seemed like it was 2 minutes long. I hope we get longer ones in the future. Not that I'm complaining though, I'll take a short WGN over no WGN.

WHOOT!

That was some hot puppet sex! lmao!!

i just started watching the L Word 2 years ago.  it was over winter break and season 4 was about to start and they were showing reruns of season 3. i went back and watched Seasons 1-3 on the internet and completely fell in love with it. i feel like i've been watching it since it first started lol!

great job ladies!

Sock Puppets!!!!!

I so agree that the scene where Bette and Tina invited some random guy home to make Tina preggers was so over the top.  I’ve always hated that scene.  Who would do that?  Well, maybe because Tina was bi she would agree, but would a lesbian (Bette) really agree to have a threesome with a guy?  None that I know would.

 

However, I think you have it all wrong for your reasons for Jenny crying.  She cried because she’s a freak.  No excuse for it other than she’s creepy.

 

The sock puppet interpretation was hysterical!!!  My grade for the pilot:  B.  Only because it was after all the first show about lesbians by lesbians.  But not an A because well, see the first paragraph, and the second, above.

 

I really need to pull out my DVDs.

Too Funny

"However, I think you have it all wrong for your reasons for Jenny crying.  She cried because she’s a freak.  No excuse for it other than she’s creepy. "

 

This made me laugh almost as hard as this ep of WGN!!! Nice one Ceeshele. Love the Swamp Ophelia Tee Jilly,you are brilliant. Nipple clamps OMG! Tina would never do THAT :)  My season one DVD's are on the way so I can keep up, it's been so long. Karmen, tie Bridget to a chair and make her watch them so she can join y'all,good times to be had by all.

chloe121212's picture

woot

While I do agree that scene with the threesome was way over the top, I just think they wanted to show the intensity or rather Bette and Tina's impatience in trying to have a baby.  Stupid idea, but i get what they were going for.  FYI Carmen is introduced midway through the second season, I believe.

I love this

I've been waiting for this for so long! It's really only been a week, but it seemed like forever. I would have LOVED to see everyone's version of Tina talking on the phone. Any impersonation of Tina is always fun...Please feel free to make fun of Tina as much as you want!  I love the 3 of you.. You kick so much ass.

:-)

Groping, crying and nipple clamps

I agree, the groping in the bathroom was a bit much, but not half as bad as the Bette and Tina threesome.

I was so there with Jenny crying while having sex with Marina. I'd forgotten Jenny was quite likeable that first season... 

Oh man, I hope not all the sex scenes will be reenacted with sock puppets...that was...kinda disturbing. The nipple clamps cracked me up though.

hilarious

hahaha that was pretty damn funny. I must admit i definitely laughed out loud to the sock puppets. good stuff.

fyi...Carmen shows up in the 2nd season, not the 3rd. Because Carmen was with Jenny for a little bit when Jenny had short hair, and that was in the 2nd season!

limors's picture

But why so short?

I demand more then 16 minutes next week! :P
Gem's picture

Never Fail

You guys never fail to make le laugh my ass off! I loved the reenacted sock puppet sex the nipple clamps was an hilarious touch!!

I agree about the whole boob grope a little too much in the bathroom scene when i first kissed a girl i didnt go straight for the boob and i don't think people do, but we are talking about a show that has shane with all the bridemaids, mother and nearly the bride who chase her down the street so honestly you expect the not so subtle touches, besides i think in a way they tried to make up for the shoved down our throats hetro sex we had to sit through!

stephcologne's picture

the hot puppets are back

love you guys you make me laugh so much i should have learned by now not to drink or eat while watching you reenact or discuss anything or even read stuff one of you wrote.

awesome v-log once again couldn´t stop laughing, can´t wait for the next episode.

Thank you. :o) less than three you

Jenny's walk of shame

OMG Jenny's walk of shame renactment was hilarious, Jill u rock! I only wish the episode could have been longer, cant get enough of u girls!
kreigen's picture

Wow Dara is in full snark

Wow Dara is in full snark mode today! Right on :)

Loved Jill's crying face as well, and that puppet sex...hot :P

You're right they changed Shane because people complained that they were all too femme. And I thought Tina and Bette's looking for donors story was a bit poor on consistency too. I never liked the scne were they just trawled the party and asked random guys - or that student...ick.

I loved the scene when Alice and Dana promise to never have sex. I was like...heh yeh right. Episode 2 and the "soup chef" (hehehe) next!!

And the road stretched on like an angry woman...

so enjoy the spectacle of hot puppet sex.

"so enjoy the spectacle of hot puppet sex."

The episode was excellent as always, its made me want to re-watch it again, the Hot puppet sex was brilliant.

Loved Jill being Jenny, that was excellent.

kandice's picture

yay puppets

haha that was so funny with the nipple clamps. and i loved jills crying face. its true shane would never wear that know lol.

lawgirl24's picture

LOL!!

You guys made my day! Hilarious! The first season was my fave by far... Bette and Tina... I hearted them then... and poor old confused Jenny... and Marina, the true seductress... you three brought back all my memories of it beautifully! Especially the puppet sex, of course ;oP
swack's picture

Oh, Terrible Three...


You have made my terrible day so much better. I know you sometimes get some flak, so I just wanted to remind you that a little-vlog-that-could with sock puppets might seem trivial, but making people laugh after they have spent the day practically crying is actually kind of profound and miraculous.
 
So thanks for putting yourselves out there and keep on keepin' on!

Rewatching the L Word! Great idea!

I love the trip back through time.  And, the Tina puppet with nipple clamps!

You guys are sooooo funny!  :-)

The sock puppets are back

Woo hoo! The sex scene was a little disturbing but too damn funny, the nipple-clamps on Tina, great idea. And Jill as Jenny was awesome.
monica_ca's picture

Great as always

Jill as Jenny was amazing, and Dara was a pretty funny Tim too.

 And nipple clamps for the puppet sex?  Oh my.....lol... 

Frenchie's picture

Rewatch season 1

My summer vacation just started 2 weeks ago, I think I've to rewatch season 1 again. I haven't rewatched it since it first started some 4 years ago!!! It's going to be fun to rewatch the show with you ladies!!!

Love the re-enactment of the scene with Jenny/Tim LMAO, thank you Jill&Dara for re-enacting that!!!

swack's picture

Very nice!

Hey Karman

 Love the veeee-log, and I don't know if anyone has said it yet but I believe Carmen makes her appearance in season 2 after the whole Cherie Jaffe debacle...I feel really sad that I know that much detail from The L Word.

As for the puppets  with the nipple clamps it just made me think of a therapy session for couples that ends up going horribly, horribly wrong....I loved it.

 

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

Julia's picture

LOL

i'm so glad that you're back!

btw... I hated Marina when I first watched the l word. Now, some years later, I get the whole Marina-thing, she is really  stunning

Campbell??? Really???

Aww, that means now I have zero chance instead of 0.000001%.

Ah well, still proud to be a Campbell! :)
