We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" 5.4

This week we took advantage of Sarah and Lori's visit to Los Angeles and tricked Sarah into joining us on the vlog. We promised (with our fingers crossed) to behave ourselves for her guest appearance, but much to our surprise, Sarah gave us the WGN treatment! With all of her sarcastic zinger-flinging, teasing, and orchestrating of ridiculous prop usage, it's a wonder we even had time to recap the show!

When we weren't dodging Sarah's snark-arrows, we discussed our MIA L Word guest vlogger, why we love the name Dawn Denbo, extending WGN invitations to both Jennifer Garner and J-Lo, the ethics of "DL" parties and why we think hiring Niki Stevens to be in Jenny's little movie was a Very Good Idea.

Along the way we threw in a couple of reenactments that involved a grueling interrogation and a self-indulgent wardrobe malfunction (of sorts). Also, Jill donned a neon pink wig and got a little frisky with a toy gun in an unexpected (and, frankly, unnecessary) homage to Sydney Bristow in Alias.

So sit back and enjoy as you watch Sarah get dragged down to our level on this week's episode of We're Getting Nowhere.

    Episode 60000027....

    ...was great, as always!  Between this and the lovely people on YouTube, I just about to keep up with The L Word in the UK, so thanks!

    I think I like your versions better though...:-)

    scribegrrrl

    Despite Sarah's denial, Scribegrrrl clearly does watch WGN.  Her detailed explaination of the character Grace and her history with Max was quite obvisously a pointed schooling of the terrible three for their forgetfulness in last week's vlog.  Shame on you girls!  That Grace is a cutie and deserves some love!  

    Dara, cute haircut.

    A correction on the F*ckable comment

    It was actually said about Kevin Bacon when he was chosen for Footloose by one of the producers or studio heads (female) who retold the story on British tv some years ago.

    Pop Up

    No they had it right. I just saw the episode of Pop Up Video for 80s movie soundtracks and they said that they asked a bunch of teamsters to choose between jennifer beals and demi moore and more guys chose Jennifer. not that i'm saying every thing on pop up video is the honest truth, it was just coincidental i saw it the same night i watched this 'podcast' and it said the same thing they did.

    MelissaC5's picture

    it's both and more.

    definitely not an isolated discussion or one limited to 80s films (but the JBeals reference is kinda clear)

    BTW..

    I totally say "BTW" all the time.

    Karman

    I've said it before but Karman you just keep getting hotter and hotter.
    burg21's picture

    that;s exactly

    what I was saying. I going to have to stop watching WGN. because I think I am falling for miss Karmen. that girl is awesomen. Jill Who, heheheh
    Charlie60652's picture

    Ouch

    Haha ouch. Lets not hate on Jill cuz she is pretty hot but she don't got nothing on Karman is all.
    frosti3000's picture

    hmm

    Haha well thats just one of life's dilema's........ i mean Jill's drop dead gorgeuos (i mean purely cause of the acting ability she brings to the re-enactment- nothing to do with the fact they she licks guns in close ups, runs her hands all over her body and pretends to strip off as Jenny........... its the depth of reality she brings to these important roles) ***** joking****** Jill's a very talented comedic artiste!

    But then again Karman is sooo godamn kewl, and hilarious with her regular tomfoolary (sorry saw that word in one of the other vlog intros and thought it were genius.)

    Too difficult i'll have to pick Sarah this moment in time cause shes right.... smart is sexy :-D

    Charlie60652's picture

    Indeed

    Indeed Sarah's smartiness (intelligence?) is attractive but don't forget Dara, who is very funny and witty and has an enticing sort of mystique about her.  Not to mention she rocks the nonchalant badassitude, and it is hot.
    frosti3000's picture

    Ah touche :-D true true!

    Ah touche :-D true true!

    Haha yes you raise an excellent argument.... Dara does undeed have that certain mystique about her.... the sort of natural charm and lets face it damn right sex appeal that is a rare to find.......... and well ok she does have the best fecking one liners in the planet.

    Well i've inadvertently turned myself on after this discussion (can i say this on here) :-D haha

     

    Charlie60652's picture

    Haha

    Haha I actually laughed out loud reading that last line.  Hmm let's review what we've learned here; Karman is very very hot/hilarious, Sarah is smart/attractive, Jill is gorgeous, talented, and Jewish (which is such a turn on, or is that just me?), and Dara is a funny sexy mysterious badass. 
    frosti3000's picture

    hehe, i think i want one of

    hehe, i think i want one of each.... the whole set :-D

    Yeah I know what you mean bout the Jewish thing, but i think it may be the jewish tats that do it for me- very very sexy!

    Hmm do you think they will sleep with us now- is that enough flattery to get us in there :-D  (joke)

    Oh and on the offchance that any of them read this I sincerley apologise, we should not be talking about you as if you are pieces of meat it is utterley disrespectful and i have embarressed myself greatly.... But Jill, Dara, Sarah and Karman do let us know if its kewl with Lrenda taking two of you and myself the other two? mwhahahaha! **mischievous laughter***

     

    Charlie60652's picture

    Jewish Tats

    Yeah I can attest to the Jewish tats things; I'm jewish and I've got one hell of a pair.  haha jk (but not really).  

    They definitely reads these, and I'm hoping that this is enough (sincere) flattery to get Karman to PM me or let me carry her babies or something.  

    They're not meat, they're just hot lesbians.

    Conjoined fruit?

    Ladies, ladies! You're comparing apples and oranges. What I mean is, both are juicy and delicious but different types of fruit...very f**kable fruit. One might do Karman everyday to keep the doctor away and have a Jill when feeling under the weather.

    Ooops, I almost forgot Dara! I'd prescribe her for low potassium:)

    Also, BOOOOOOOO! to you Iliene C.  for not allowing Rose Rollins on the VLOG. WTF?! And another BOOO! goes out to people who speak in letters. QISAYT(translation: quit it, Stupid! Are you 12?)

    All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story.

    haha, excellent analogy! (still laughing at the " juicy and delicious line")

    Loved this weeks WGN! :D


    Jill and Karman, you should just share one note pad, you always make the same notes :P

    HAHAHA! that first reenactment was genius.
    "have any cats named Jodie Foster!?!" hmm interesting shirt Jill ... can't... quite ....make out what it says though... :P wow, we learn something new every week about her... she joined the girl scouts to pick up chicks ;) wow you started young!

    *drool* Jill, i think you should do the next vlog with just a pirate hat on :P

    Fav lines from this vlog....

    Dara - oh my god it's Betty!
    Karman - i need the Ds, the double Ds!
    Jill - If you pull it out, you better use it, That's what i say at the end of every date.
    Sarah - I can't help it, I love you Tila


    Thank you Sarah and Lori for being in LA :)

    rose rollins

    I'm so sad to hear that Rose could've guested on WGN this week only to have her snatched away... I heart her.

    But you guys are hilarious regardless, so it wasn't so bad.

    Anger...

    I had a long actually decent(and long) comment this time. But my login timed out without me knowing it, so it disappeared when I hit the preview comment button.

    The little I can remember is -

    I loved the In Her Line of Fire poster in the reenactment.

    Ya'll were great and to many good lines for me to narrow down favorites

    Sarah should be on every week

    You were so funny!

    I actually knew that Rose was supposed to be on the vlog but Ilene didn't let her do it. Someone wrote that couple of days ago on Datalounge  L word thread.

    gkregloe's picture

    Sarah on the show with the terrible 3

    I actually loved seeing Sarah share the limelight with the girls -- afterall she was the creator.  I always toot Karman's horn but now I'm tootin for Sarah as well.
    Susi's picture

    awesome as always

    That was great, I love how long it was.

    The Jenny reenactment was...wow...way better than the original.

    Thanks for another great vlog!

    Aimi's picture

    Awesome!!

    I lol'd so much this vlog.

     

    This was so funny I had to keep rewinding though because I kept laughing and missing bits.

     

    I think you should try and get Ilene Chaiken as a guestbian on the vlog, I'm sure she would love to be on.

    gooby's picture

    I push play aaaaaaand nothing...

    Initializing and then it keeps doing that but nothing's happening. I got it to work once... I guess your server's pretty busy or maybe some other connection thing. Argh. And it's a special episode of Sarah goodness. grrrrr. I wanna see!

    Omg Yes

    I am totally having the same problem! Sooo annoying. I wanna see it already!

    Too funny...

    Too funny :p

    Dara you're the coolest chick on the net by far, and Karman you crack me up. Seriously, your giggling is infectious. I lolled a lot. Jill and Karman together...that's just comedy gold right there. The addition of Sarah this week made for some very funny moments, but having Rose would have been great. Such a shame they wouldn't let her on :(

    Keep em coming, the laughs are much needed :p

    My casting couch

    I would cast the charming and demure flower Ms. Shannen Doherty as Jessie in Lez Girls.

    And, because I can never share this little ditty enough, here is a song just for the twinkies--Karman and Jill.

    [The conjoined twin song from South Park episode 2.5]
    You've got the strength, you've got the courage
    Even with a dead fetus on your head
    Carry on, you fight for tomorrow
    Dead fetus or no, you'll never let go
    You're my conjoined twin, dead thing hangin' off your head woman.

    Pretty. :D

    Rose...

    Too bad Rose Rollins could not come, i'm so sad! She's one of my favorite in the show, genius actress.

    Re-enactments were GENIUS (I have to stop saying that word). One of the best you made. The first one cracked me up, I loved the pictures on the wall and was glad to see the "we can do it" poster. Jill's T shirt, Karman and Dara lines were so funny : donuts or hotdog? LMAO (ah ah). And Jill you gotta re-read that book on the table, 'cause you're not a big fat dike at all :p

    Then i'm glad you talked about Jenny so much because all i have to say for this episode - except for Bette & Tina - is that Mia is more than a GENIUS actress (ok i said it again). She steals every scene, and she's the proof, along with Jill, that angry IS sexy.

    The second re-enactment: brilliant!!! "Cartier", the yelling, it was funnier than the actual scene. How long have you been working on the angle of the camera for the ending? ;-)

    Finally, Bette & Tina :D

     

    Ps : Natalie Portman on the vlog?... oh well :)

    u guys are crap at LOL and stuff :P

    rofl is roll on floor laughing

    ty - thank u

    gtfo/i - get the f*** out/in

    omg - pronounced oh em gee

    thers loads more obv :) the thing is me and my friends actually talk like that, not sayin the words just the letters, its kind of crazy whats happening to language :S but i enjoy it cos it means u can talk in whole sentences without adults ever knowin what you are talkin about hehe

    Oh My God

    That Jenny reenactment was jaw dropping, by jaw dropping I mean totally hot.

    woohoo!

    jill...u were a bit quiet at the begining! well...not really, but i dunno!

    and what's this about Rose not being "allowed" on the show??

    karman rocked the sunglasses Elvis-style and jill looked like a character outta Hackers. Sarah and Dara needed surf boards.

    i totally dug jenny spitting out her gum. it was awesome. i do like adele too, but for some reason she reminds me of misty mundae.

    and what about O.M.G. the kids @ my work say it all the time to annoy the crap outta me.

    u know who i think would be awesome @ playing jenny? Sugar...from Sugar Rush. not lenora crichlow, but sugar..the character she played. yeah..ok.

    Why does everyone keep

    Why does everyone keep forgetting Sarah Shahi is half mexican? She deserved to play the latina role and she also spoke fluent spanish. Unfair diss.

    Geez how hot are all of you guys :D. Awesome!! Great re-enactments

    Whats with Rose not being allowed to be on the show but Jane Lynchwas???

    Clonchi's picture

    actually....

    I love Sarah Shahi, but I have to disagree on your "spoke fluent spanish" comment... She didn't speak it fluently, specially not with good pronunciation. Spanish is my mother tongue and I had to really pay attention to what she was saying to understand her. But who cares, she's great and I miss her!

     

    oh, BTW, Sarah: You ARE a cool person!! I loved this weeks "podcast"... I always do!

    silence91's picture

    re: half mexican

    according to her imdb profile, sarah shahi's mother is spanish (european) not mexican. as i was once told, that doesn't qualify as latina.
    ereth's picture

    Not Latin

    I think you are correct that she is not latina. Latino/Hispanic (historically-spanish) means peoples that decended from Spaniards that settled around the world and mixed the old gene pool. Most notably the Native North Americans, which are now the Mestizos of Mexico, and the Asians of the Phillipines. Both of which share that lovely brown complexion that I find super sexy. Anyhow the Spaniards themsevles are just spanish speaking caucasians. Which would exculde Ms. Shahi but I could be wrong.

    you guys are a bad influence!

    I'm getting more sarcastic because of you guys... pretty soon I won't be able to hold a meaningful conversation with people :(

    This was brilliant and I went to an advanced screening of episode 5.5 at NYU so IIIIII know what happpennnsssss hoohoo!.... and soon you will too so whatever.

    And I personally don't say r-o-f-l letter by letter... i say "roffle." I mean I don't say that in real life at all. What?

    omg, inbd

    Jo16's picture

    yeah

    rofl isnt letter by letter ur rite that would be silly lol :P

    kiss_hester's picture

    Thrilled!

    This was sooo much fun! Those reanactments were brilliant! Almost the real scenes:p

    But why wasn't Rose allowed to come on the WGN? What's the possible harm? Is Jane getting in trouble for DO getting on the WGN?:p

    I did agree with Jenny about the other actress. I really didn't like Nikki! Especially with that last (crying) scene. OMG!

    Funny to Sarah in between you guys:D Kinda funny how she's trying to take control, haha! I dig the wig Jill!

    BTW: WTF?! You are all sooo hip! You actually now what all the shortenings mean. LOL! LMAO! <3

    I haven't watched the whole vlog yet but I gotta say I'm bummed they won't let Rose Rollins come on the vlog. Hatin' on AfterEllen won't improve theirchart...

    Anyhow ladies...another great vlog as usual. Dara are you getting hotter? Didn't think it was possible, but I'm not complaining.

    Jill and Sarah should go on

    Jill and Sarah should go on the next "shot at love" and battle it out for Tila :D
