We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" Trivia Episode

Since the end of the fifth season of The L Word, Jill, Dara and I have hardly known what to do with ourselves. No sock puppets, no unnecessary close-ups, no purpose. We're looking forward to covering the first season of the show when it's aired on Logo this summer, but in the meantime we decided to amuse ourselves (and hopefully you) with a friendly game of L Word Trivia.

Do you remember who played Alice's mother on the show? How about the name of the art exhibition that got Bette into so much trouble with the conservatives? Neither did we, but we had fun guessing! So grab a pen and paper and play along with us — unlike Dara and I, if you outplay Jill, she can't rough you up.

Also, we mention in the vlog that we're planning another AfterEllen.com meet and greet in New York on May 18, hosted by Sarah and Lori and with us WGN'ers and Bridget McManus (Brunch with Bridget) in attendance. Initially, we thought Dara wouldn't be able to join us for this little outing, but it turns out that she can and we're thrilled. So you can just ignore the guilt trip we laid on her in the vlog, because it worked! (Look for details on the exact time and location of the event in our BLWE column in the next few weeks.)

    I can't believe....

    ...That I am going to miss the meet and greet in NY.  I am in NY before and after the event :( and I am from London so bummed seriously!!!

    But to cheer myself up shall go home so that I can watch this in the piece and quiet at home where people won't look at me strangly if I burst out laughing.

     Good to have you back.

    Snort.

    As always, very funny.

     

    Bullets!

    >Bennett, your shirt rocks.

    >Leisha Hailey was born in Japan (Okinawa).

    >Karman, that's quite a decorated laptop you have there. Just thought I'd note that.

    >Dara, although the answers to your questions were obvious (as I'm sure you intended), the alternate options were sidesplitting. Well done!

    Hmm, I'm not sure why I only refer to Jill by her last name.

    But I do.

     

    Anyway, right. Awesome, naturally, and I'm excited for the recaps of Season 1. Whoop whoop.

    Also, it strikes me to ask; have any of you gone to an Uh Huh Her show? Just wondering.

    yeah I heard that too

    yeah, I was sure I heard that too (about Leisha)..

    like somebody said lots of kids were born there cus there parents were stationed there militarywise.. i don't really know, but I heard the phrase 'military brat' i think..

    thats why she was born there but she's not japanese

    TLW trivia was a great idea, I had all responses except most of Jill's questions! Tough tough Jill :P I had no idea Mia was born in Japan!

    I love what's coming up next on WGN, and it's great Dara can finally make it to NY :) I can't wait for the footages.

    Dara's multiple choice propositions were so funny!

    Jill....you are wrong XD

    It is Leisha Hailey that was born in Japan. Okinawa, Japan actually.

    And Mia was born in Ontario Canada. So Karmen should have got it right away!

    Gig31's picture

    exactly

    karman you would have been the "only" winner.

    IMDB says karman is right lol

    "No really, I'm not hungry."

    No need to say anything more than that. Well done, ladies.

     

    Patient: There's like this longing ... this pull. I mean, does that make me, you know, like, some kind of...?

    Maeby: Homosexual.

    Tobias: Maeby, please. She's right, though, you probably are a homosexual.

    I suck at trivia :P


    I usually really suck at trivia but I knew a few of those questions so I'm kinda proud :P

    Dara's mc answers were hilarious... "The master bator" hahahaha... And I loved her answer about Marina... "She read 'Some of her parts'" :D

    Can't wait for your vlog about "Baby Mama" :)

    aruts9tm's picture

    Welcome Back

    THAT WAS FUN!

     

    I knew an embarrassing amount of those questions.....I hate things I can remember....when there's oh so much I cannot.

     

    I CAN'T WAIT FOR BABY MAMA!!!!

    -also the funniest explanation for the word "taint" can be found on the first season of Weeds.

    My day is complete

    What a great way to start off my day w/ a lil WGN. Loved it as always. Hopefully this will last me until the next vlog.

    Sweet, Baby Mama is playing in Long Beach! I'm so gonna watch it this weekend.

     

    If I ever start to think straight, this heart will start a riot in me.

    playthemusic814's picture

    I clapped like a toddler.

    Yay, for WGN being back! Although, these breaks may just kill me. Or I might have to go back to watching television. Lame. But, thanks for coming up with new ways to entertain us. I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts.

    Is it wrong that I don't have to look up "taint"?

    ~It means pride.~

    stefke's picture

    True, won't argue with that.

    True, won't argue with that. But that was not exactly what I was aiming at...
    mibtc86's picture

    i think i no what ur "aiming at" but not again (BwB) lol. funny vlog as usual. in the end Karman's hand went up first, sry Jill. :D

    really delayed side thought: i m almost pos. that it was u three recapping Top Model.... ne ways, r u all going to recap that again or not?? while i only watch it while i m bored, they're off to Italy?? i think.... who knows what (foreign) mischief will happen.

    We missed you girls. You're

    We missed you girls. You're awesome ^^

    You're lucky you even get to see Baby Mama. In France we have to wait until September, it sucks...

    Berna's picture

    welcome back ladies!

    so nice to see you back, you have been missed a lot! :) Very funny vlog, loved the questions and the multiple choice options from Dara, lol. Great entertainment!

    Can't wait for the next vlog.

     

     

    Lish79's picture

    I found myself...

    yelling answers at the screen! Good thing no one was around to hear me lol

    I can definately see a rematch for Jill and Karman being that you are both Leos. I can relate to hating to lose and *gasp* admitting defeat (that had to be hard) being that I'm a Leo as well. (and I do believe I share my birthday with Jill. August 14! woohoo!)

    Enjoyable vlog! As always.

    And, Jill conceded defeat? *gasp* Well, as long as the rematch involves a video camera, I'm there.

    ~It means pride.~

    jill-bennett-fan's picture

    yay for the leos

    tootles's picture

    Awesome fun!

    You have all proved to have excellent memories. I couldn't answer any of those :P

    I loved
    -Dara's ridiculous multiple choices that frustrated Karman
    -Karman getting competitive
    -Jill's facial reaction to questions she didn't know answer to

    And by the way, for the last question, Karman's arm went up first :P

    Thanks for yet another entertaining episode. Will miss you guys for the next weeks :D

    Haha this was really fun to watch, Karman getting all competitive was awesome. Dara´s multiple choice questions had me in stitches. and Jill´s reaction when she didn´t know the answer was priceless.
