We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" 5.6

Were you as blown away by the Tina-Bette reunion this week as we were? And we love how it happened. It was the stir-fry that started a revolution! Something about seeing Bette playing June Cleaver sent Tina over the edge into the Danger Zone, and we're so glad that she joined us went there. It was a topic of much discussion.

So this week we're joined in the WGN Studios by actress Coley Sohn, who you may remember as Lil Mitzvah, one half of the Jewish rap duo Sappho Sisters. (Our guest last week, Meredith Scott Lynn, aka MC Jew C, is the other half of the duo. Together, they complete me.) Coley was all too willing to don a sock puppet as well as get all nebbish on us as Adele in our reenactment. We really question her judgment. Just FYI, Coley has a new web series called "Inappropriate Workplace" on ICN.tv. Do check it out!

Along with Coley, this week we discuss Bette and Jodi as lesbian "role models," the continuing reign of Dawn Denbo (and her lover, Cindi) and why Coley need not be afraid of Jill's pouncing cats.

We hope you enjoy our reenactments of Adele's Pretty Woman–esque transformation into Mini-Jenny. But be forewarned; we did not reenact the Tina-Bette reunion. That would just be gross. (And we all have morality clauses in our contracts anyway.)

 Woot!  Love you guys!

"You spoiled Stupid Whore!" LOL glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Paris and the L word is a bad idea.

Oh and didn't Jodi sign something along the lines of "Tell the board your judgement was clouded because Prof Learner is such a hot f---."  At least that's what I think the captions said.

Re-enactments

I love tuning in to your hilarity every week...particularly the re-enactments.

"I'm Jenny Schecter the Director!!"

Too funny.

BTW, I think Ilene wrote and directed this episode. I saw it during the Dawn Denbo/Shane exchange.

Woohoo, been waitin'

I didn't care about Tibette at first either!! It's still not my favourite storyline, but now I really enjoy it!

Two years ago everybody was waring Ugs in the summer! Thank god pretty much everybody has let it go by now. I've hated them since the beginning:p But they are really comfortable. And argh... I hate Paris... Well, hate is a strong word, but I REALLY don't like her! Let's hope the rumor isn't strue!

Best.Reenactment.Ever!

I wanna know how long you ladies shoot for?
seeing as you edited a lot out and it still lasted for nearly an hour!?

 First Jill, then Karman, now Dara, You guys and your 3way t-shirt advertising ;) love it!
Jill you were great as Jenny! (She's my little F*ck toy) everyone was awesome in the reenactment.
Last week Dara was a lawyer, this week a doctor, She's one talented lady.

HAHAHA! Max with Jenny's hair style, that would be wierd :P

Thank you for this weeks vlog, it was brilliant.

"Those Aren't Friggin' Puppies"

AWESOME! I love the reenactments :)

FYI: another website....hmmmm I wonder which one, I can't quite remember the name of it...hmmmm.....anyway on said website it is revealed that Ilene Chaiken both wrote and directed this episode.

I can't wait for this show to go from examining itself to examining The View...incredible! I love it!

Also I loved the whole cat-pop-boob thing....really funny!

TOTALLY agree about Paris Hilton! i've already ranted about this on "best-lesbian-week-ever" She is loathesome!!! AMEN JILL AMEN. She is useless.

See

Now I knew ther was a reason I loved you ladies.   It's nice to have some support cause I'm not slowing down anytime soon. It is so still ON. And I've also got two for you... two thumbs up that is.

 

-BTW have you met my LOVER CINDY?

See, I told you baby! I knew you'd like them. We should invite them all over to our place this afternoon and cook them up something special...

Karman, Karman...

Call me.

Hey baby, Jill's on a new web series called 3Way.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Belt everything and just drink funny water

First of all, i'm SO happy you spoke French, i'm gonna sound so French right now starting my comment with that but anyway. I loved it! Dara's "Fermez la bouche" is priceless. Although... i did not understand the "détend" thing? Can another French person help me with that? I have to watch that scene again with Jenny to get what's the word they're using in the episode... Jill you should learn French you're good! You have that "je ne sais quoi" ;-)

I love the cat trauma story with Coley lol. Actually a lot of people are afraid of cats, even when they do not have breast implants!

Karman you have most of my fav lines this week, i loved every single funny things you said. "Now it's time for our weekly close up!" ah ah.

Loved the re-enactment, it went on and on, that was great!

Jenny is still wonderful and i also love the new Tibette. Same chemistry but a little dirtier, I like that...

Ps : i already said that in comments like everywhere but Paris Hilton in TLW? Really? F*** that! NOT HER. She's a useless piece of celeb-stupiditybrity garbage.

chloe121212's picture

Detente

It's actually what Dawn Denbo says to Shane if that's what you're talking about.  I'm not French but I looked it up and it means-

A relaxing or easing, as of tension between rivals.

Hope that helps

Okay now i get it, thanks a lot :) I couldn't hear the last syllable.
Cantell's picture

ouh la la

Always interesting to know what French words non-French speakers chose to remember, "croissant" classic, but "ouh lala" "je ne sais quoi" huh? lol

Also I don't understand all the Paris Hilton hatred (hi Jill!), I mean she's spoiled so what? do we really hate all the spoiled rotten kids we know in real life? did she chose to be born a Hilton? did she hurt anybody? She could have been spoiled and homophobic, or spoiled and homo-indifferent, but no! she is spoiled and homo-friendly. ouh lala!

spotticus's picture

loved the re-enactments

Too funny! Loved the ending too!  And totally agree with the anti Paris sentiment.
jam's picture

dara's guns....

proud2b's picture

I <3 you Jill....

Confidence Maketh the Woman!

Jill you're HOT and you ROCK!! I...have a crush :D

I have been waiting for this all day and I'm all the way in the UK..

Anyway Ladies funny as always and I totally enjoyed this episode.  I live for Tibette moments and I hope there's more. Yeah! it was Ma Chaiken that directed this one. However, I feel that this ep was abit sketchy or scattery not sure if you understand this but the part of this ep that felt solid was the Tibette bits (not including Tina with her kid), maybe I'm just biased.

Please get Bridget to do an L Word vlog with you guys theres so much love and chemistry amongst you and Brigdet is off the hook, so are you Jill ;D

fun vlog as usual

waited impatiently and you guys didn't dissappoint.

Loved what Jill shouted out at PH at pride. So true. I would have loved to be there and see it in person.

Chloe_Ad's picture

Another great vlog.

Loved every minute of it, especially the boob-popping discussion. Now I don't have to live in fear of my cat anymore. Thank you.

Ah, Jill, all that and you can build Ikea furniture? Is there anything you cannot do?   

crashlanding's picture

Bring Dana Back!!

Since you couldn't have Rose Rollins on last week, maybe you could have Erin Daniels as a guest. She's not under contract with the L Word, she's gorgeous, and she's funny.  I know you guys are big fans.  BTW you guys didn't mention how the intimate ovulating scene between Tina and Bette made it into Jenny's movie.  Was she like hiding in the bathroom closet?? 

hinterguxli_CH's picture

great (re-en)acting

all of 'ya!!!! loved that those couple of scenes which luckily kinda lasted forever (well, not long enough though, but still ;-)).

and i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g things we learnt about you guys ;-)...

ikea: ikea chaise

Interview for IKEA: "Take a chair and have a seat".

Great Vlog

Had me in sitches a lot of the time.

Is there anything Jill can't do? Though my experience of Ikea furniture building involves little reading more working out what the hell the pic is telling you.

Would have loved to seen Jill shouting at Paris Hilton.

Laurie Anne's picture

Regarding what Jill said

to Paris Hilton, can I just say...thank you!!! Very well put. And the reinactment was totally hilarious :)
BeecaBee's picture

Awesome!

I think you guys missed something tho because I feel like Adele already did start her plan, she told Vizzini that Jenny is only sleeping with Niki to get her in the movie, etc etc. I think Adele did that because it will ruin the narcissistic relationship of Jenny and Niki because Niki will eventually find out that Jenny is only with her for the movie... That was a long winded explanation of my opinion...

But Karman I need a hair cut with BANGS. Jill Id love to watch you build some furniture and Dara you can mouth things to me whenever you want!

Re-enactment- Hey Coley Crack Kills

The re-enactment was FUN-NY 

And lesbians never learn comment. Aint that the truth!  *cough*I'm glad I'm bi*cough*

And thank you Dara for mentioning the JoBette dynamic is NOT SEXY. *Punches bag- NO! 

Will someone do a "if Paris was on the L Word" act..That would be funny.  And Jill can channel all that haterism by playing Jenny again

My phrase for the week: I'm the director Jenny Schector!

Cats

A cat + Laser pointer= Hi-larity. And I agree with Karman, Cats won't be bossed....and they tend to sass! You guys are really hitting your stride with these vlogs, each one gets better and better. There are too many great laughs/moments to list, so suffice it to say it kicked ass and i can't wait till next week.
Kerry's picture

Thank you WGN

Been feeling a little low lately, today has been so dull even though its like summer outside.  I rightly cheered up after watching this vlog, I always do.  Always the best time of the day for me when I log on to watch your vlog.  Totally agree with comments made regarding Paris Hilton.  I cannot understand what the hell they are thinking at The L Word.  I have not seen this season's The L Word because I am in the UK, if your vlogs are anything to go by then I might enjoy these episodes.  When the season aires in the UK I will be able to relate comments and re-ennactments made by the stunning Jill Bennett and friends to the series.  Jill, was that the top you wore to the 3WayTV Premiere Party? I think maybe it was, nice top.  You all seemed to match at the Premiere, was that intentional?  Anyway, another great vlog.  I love it how you always digress, very apt title for the vlog.  Thank you for cheering me up.  Kerry xx

French

No you defenetly can't speak french... I am french and i just understand "croissant" and "fermer la bouche" ("Ta gueule" is rather say) of all what you said.

But don't worry, i can be your french teacher if you want... ;) Repeat after me : we're getting nowhere : Nous n'allons nulle part. 

By the way, do you really think french is sexy? I mean... Really?!

Another great wednesday

The amazing thing about this vlog is how much happiness it brings to so many people. :D

Lmao at the very last reenactment (the Max makeover). Comedy gold.

Coley's take on Tina's awkward parenting was hilarious. (pat pat XD)
But Angelica being actually Jeniffer Beals' daughter, that awkwardness I can understand.

Also Dara doing Bette's trademark 'orgasmic-seazure'. Tee hee...

TheWeyrd1's picture

Really....don't think that's correct...

Not thinking the kid is actually JB's kid...partly because wasn't she already in the show when JB started wearing the loose fitting outfits?
Phantom's picture

I know

I wasn't really sure myself when I was typing that. I just had that feeling I read it somewhere... my bad. oh shrug.
But the point still remains- it being that I can understand how awkward it can be for a parent to act like a good parent around a child that isn't their own. And what can make it even more difficult (here I'm just developing my point further) is when the actor and the child don't really 'click', because there's not much to be done about that, can't really influence who the little kid likes or dislikes once they 'made up' their minds... imho.

vlasta voo's picture

it's so ON!

wow, you guys make my wednesday!!!

the reenactments are priceless ....

dara, you so remind of a friend i have with your ubercool deadpan style..you rock!

jill your jenny takes that freak factor to new levels :) in a good way!

karman delivers as usual ...the terrible three should on posters of every fledgling baby dyke's wall...as real life role-models :)) that would be interesting topic for an essay huh?! :P

"Free Tibette" - word.

The Blessing of Paris

The gay community is not what it should be when it comes to support from people. However (and note that I actually tried) I could not even create a sound similar to a cheer when I heard that Paris is possibly appearing on the L Word.

Though, being an optimist (almost every day of the year, except for the sucky ones), I pondered whether this blessed appearance might be of help to those 16-year old girls, strutting around with a 1/4 of a dog in their left hand, skimmed-shaken-0%/fat-revitalising-decaf-deliquidised-double/shot-starbucks-excuse-for-a-coffe-with-extra-H2O (I think they are just empty) in their right hand, and more make-up than would be extinguished in an earthquake, AND who actually would love to break out of the bimbo suit and join the brighter side (that is, us) to not be afraid to come out. Or maybe it is just the dumbest idea ever... 

 Anyway, wishing you all a very merry gay day....
