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

In the latest WGN episode, our intrepid vloggers discuss the price of having a benefactor, why they liked Helen Shaver better in Desert Hearts, and the bad idea that was Dana and Jenny hooking up (re-enactment included).

Plus, they debate whether having a good hair day is enough justification to leave the house.

We're Getting Nowhere: The L Word S1 "Liberally"

Check back next Thursday for another episode!

    My week isn't complete

    My week isn't complete without this vlog.

    **Runs off to watch vlog** :D.

    Wow, those cats scared the sh*t out of me when they ran across the first time. It was awesome :D.

    No I haven't been watching the re-airing of the Lword season 1 on logo. I live in Canada and we don't get logo up here, well at least the last time I checked which was a while ago. Even if I did get logo I wouldn't be watching the episodes. Downloaded them all and I later purchased on DVD when they were available. This reminds me, I can't wait til 3way is available on DVD. I hope that is still on.

    Great vlog as always ladies.

    That scene...

    That scene with Dana and Jenny trying to hookup was very disturbing when I first watched it...and time has not changed that.

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

    will there be any guests on

    will there be any guests on future episodes? i sort of miss that...

    not that three of you ain't enough. (just to clarify)

    nice vlooog as usual. =) ok. i haven't watched it yet 'cause i'm right about to walk my dog. but i know it's going to be good... so if in any chance this episode has a guest, please disregard this comment. =/

    Yay! New Vlog! Also, I

    Yay! New Vlog! Also, I think if you need a book on how to act BADLY, you should maybe not be acting at all. Bad acting either has to come naturally or not at all :-P

    Rydia Auften's picture

    Too Funny!

    Dara and Karman LMAO!!!!  I was waiting for Dara to get squeamish and push Karman away because that was what I was feeling.  Best as friends :D
    -ellen-'s picture

    nice...

    lol, the re-enactments between Karman and Dara were hilarious!

    And I totally understand the going out on a good-hair-day and I'm not even a leo...

    Oh, and I don't watch the L-word episodes just the vlogs, but I have seen all of the L-word episodes a couple of years ago.

    great vlog ladies, thx!

    Janay's picture

    Great Show!!!!

    I want to begin by acknowledging Ms. Dara Nai, it's just not said enough that YOU ARE GORGEOUS! That beautiful complexion and that smile those lips, you really are super hott and so smart and so funny and I really like your interviews, they're always so funny! And like I've said before Dara as long as your t-shirts are cool you can wear them as much as you like:-) 

    Ok, secondly I for one do not watch The L Word on Logo, I own all the seasons on DVD, but even so I just haven't watched an episode of The L Word since the 5th season aired. 

    And OMG!!!! Where my Tegan & Sara fans at??!!? Did you guys start singing "o well the man with two brains says, it's a science, got one for my actions one's for my conscience, yeah one's for the sex, the other's for the consequence" when Dara said something about the "man with two brains"??? lmao

    O love the hair Jill!!!!! And Karman are ya sure you and Laurel Holloman weren't separated at birth???:-)

                                                                                                         

    Sara: Something else that's free, is love.
    Tegan: Not in my relationship.
    Sara: O you have to pay for it still...that's awkward.
    Tegan: I didn't say I had to pay for it, I just said it wasn't free. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Tegan Quin:  (BIYH) It's an important song...about cheating kinda...she's a bit of a hoe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Sara Quin: We like cocks just ones that just don't have veins in them

    Actually, "The Man With Two

    Actually, "The Man With Two Brains" is a New Pornographers song, Tegan and Sara did a cover for an album where a bunch of bands covered New Pornographers songs.

    "There is homophobia in every corner and pocket of this world, but at the core ... you just love someone and want to make mixedtapes for them" -Sara Quin

    Janay's picture

    O yeah I know

    Yeah I know but I was thinking about Sara singing it, course I've never listened to the original...New Pornographers eh? I got it off a Rentals Tribute CD hmmm o well Matt Sharp rules!!!

                                                                                                 

    Tegan Q.: I can't confirm or deny that Sara exist, I think the real question here is does it matter? Feel me Sara huh? Feel it, snap!...I mean if Sara exist, which she doesn't.

    Crapspackle! You're right, I

    Crapspackle! You're right, I typed out what I was listening to, rather than what I was thinking.
    A bit of a brain/finger fart. Looks like I need two brains

    Actually,...

    "The Man with Two Brains' is a Steve Martin movie from 1983...
    Janay's picture

    I know that as well....lol

    Sara's cover of that song just popped in my head when Dara said that....O LOVE Steve Martin, he's a genius! My favorite SM film is "The Jerk"!!:-)

    Uh...

    This v-log hit it's anniversary on August 14th... And y'all didn't even buy it flowers. For shame!

    Unfortunately, I don't have Logo. I do have season 1 on DVD. I just don't care to take the time to pop one in. I'd rather just watch WGN.

    I'm loving the South Park referernces... Chef's death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdnxudI6Qng) was epic, no disrespect to Issac Hayes who did recently pass away.

    I did see that thing about those life-like dolls on Real Sex and perhaps that same documentary and yeah, très weird.

    Hair acting

    I'm not really all that "girly" but *cringe* I hate to admit it, a lot of my confidence comes with my hair. If it looks bad, then I feel really unattractive and uncomfortable...maybe I should go back to therapy. I too have gone out just because I was having a good hair day...

    ...and any girl with curly hair that takes 45 minutes to straighten (just to have it curl up in bad weather) knows what I'm talking about.

    On another subject...I remember the 1st season well enough to where I don't need to re-watch them. I just watch WGN all on its own.

    -I'm pretty sure they're called "Real Dolls". I've seen the episode of Real Sex that Karman mentioned, and I've seen a couple of movies on them i.e. Lars and the Real Girl and Love Object.

    Gaby's picture

    I get your pain

    It takes me about 30 minutes to straighten my hair and about 3-5 for the weather to mess it all up.

    FUCK

    i went to class 5 minutes late to see this. im the kind of person who HATES being late. lateness in general, but i had to.

     the karman dara reenacment was fucken hysterical.

    1) I have forty two t-shirts that I brought with me to college. If you went through my ancestral drawers, I probably have over 100.
    1.b) Naturally, discussion of shirts reminded me to go look at threadless, one of my favorite t-shirt sites, which is having a sale right now. I've found semi-appropriate shirts for each of our esteemed hostesses
    Jill: http://www.threadless.com/product/1405/Un_Censored ; because of the whole cussing problem
    Karman: http://www.threadless.com/product/1044/Big_Cats ; to match that tattoo
    Dara: http://www.threadless.com/product/436/Why_Did_The_Chicken_Cross_Abbey_Ro... ; because it reminded me of a Dara joke, in an odd way.
    2) I am not watching the first season on Logo. I've seen the first season, and I do watch some stuff on Logo, but it just seems silly to watch it edited for content AND with commercials when I have friends who own the DVD.
    3) Vagina coach. heh.
    4) That was an amazing dream sequence or whatever. Utterly ABSURD.

    Yeah, Jill needs a bit of censoring

    I couldn't believe it when she called her cat a "B" word.  For shame!

    I Agree

    Words are powerful.  Love you lots Jill xx  BTW Jill you were having an exceptionally good hair day in this vlog. Already looking forward to seeing Karman, Dara and of course Jill next week.  I had a bad day today and you three have picked me up.

    Touché

    I'm always amazed how the most unusual french words are used in other languages lol But it's so cute when it's said by non french speakers!

    Anyway, just a little post to tell you, how much i love this vlog. I check the website every thursday evening... a lot, eager to see if the brand new WGN has been posted. It's a ritual now. I discovered the vlog and afterellen just a few weeks ago and i already saw every single one of your 40-ish pieces of bliss (even the AMNT!! I'm so not the type of person who watches this kind of shows). You girls are so funny. It's nice to see real friendship and real interactions between people. Nowadays everything that is shown by the mean of any media lacks so much of this authenticity. Thank you so very much for those, it's really refreshing (and so damn hilarious)! ;)

    For the 5th season of the L Word i was watching the episode then the recap before watching the next. Now, that you're making the 1st season i'm just watching you're recaps since we can't watch Logo in France. It's nice to rediscover the 1st season through those videos of yours. A little googling once in a while when you're refering to things or people that are part of the american culture (those facts or people that didn't get past your borders) and everything's fine! :p

    Plus, i love all those references to Tina Fey/SNL "I can do this!"

    Well this ranting on and on to say that: Jill, Karman and Dara, you ROCK!!!

     P.S: your cats just crack me up

    "Qui rit le dernier, pense le moins vite" (the one who's the last to laugh is thinking the slowest)

    Natazzz's picture

    Going out just because your hair looks good?

    Seriously? That's weird.

    Does anyone actually watch Logo? I did rewatch the first season on DVD just so I'd know what you're all talking about. I have to say, it's fun but it was better the first time around.

    Awesome reenactment. That was some very awkward hair patting. Funny how you guys complain about disturbing reenactments, yet you keep doing them.

    To answer Jill's question...

    I don't watch the show on Logo, I only watch the Vlog. I don't have Logo, but I do own the DVD's.

     

    Another great Vlog!

    Yay for a good hair day!

    I too go out no matter what if I´m having a good hairday. It is kinda hard since my semicurly-semistraight hair can be a pain sometimes.

    I love how you keep doing the awkward reenactments cause they are so much fun to watch.

    To answer your question, we don´t get Logo here so I can´t watch it the first season but I never miss your vlogs.

    funny stuff

    that stuff was funny with Dara and Karman hmmm awkward much :D made me laugh though. Also when Jill called her cat a bastard soooo funny i called my cat a heffer the other day and she gave me the dirtiest look ever then continued to eat my chips... SHE JUST DOESN'T CARE. good hair day jill, looking hot, i don't think it matters what tops you ladies wear to be honest i don't watch and make note of what you're wearing every week, y'all look good anyway :D

    Just wondering

    Are any vloggers covering ANTM this season?
    Nothing's picture

    Do I watch this on Logo?

    No.  Why?  Because they chopped it all up - no bad words, which means every third word is cut out, and no sex.  Did I mention, no sex?  What's the l word without all the sex?

    Besides, I have all the seasons on DVD, except season 4, which I refuse to buy because I don't need to watch them kill off Dana over and over again.  I've seen each season at least four times so I know what you're talking about and I enjoy your recaps, especially the reenactments.

    wickedgrrl's picture

    Lword & Logo

    I don't watch it on LOGO unless I happen to flip on the tv and its there.  More often than not, BadGirls or QAF is on though.  I have pulled out my DVD's to watch certain scenes you have talked about.  I agree that watching L Word w/o sex and foul language leaves little to be desired.  Kind of like watching SatC on TBS.

    I too refuse to own season 4.  I refuse to admit it even exists.  I found a photoshop collage I had done of Danish the other day.  It made my heart hurt.
