We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" Season 1 "Luck, Next Time"

Dara, Jill and Karman discuss the dramatic end of Jenny and Marina's relationship, the fabulous chemistry between Kate Moennig and Rosanna Arquette, and Alice and Lisa's long-overdue break-up.

They also re-enact Dana's blind date with a guy.

Along the way, they ask the eternal questions: Can lesbians do open relationships? What is the deal with Snoop Dogg and smoothies? And would you throw away a perfectly good bottle of wine just because your girlfriend's girlfriend walked in on you?

We're Getting Nowhere: The L Word "Luck, Next Time"

Check back next Thursday for another episode!

    and I like how the vlog is longer again :) maybe it was before but I just noticed, and like the back on the sofa-nes also

    Dara's extra constonants were hilarious as Jill said, and Karman laughing her head off was also. it was funny too when Jill remembered mor about Karman's dating past than Karman herself

    Thursdays are great.

    Crank Yankers was such a good show, I was so sad it got cancelled. I think they might show re-runs on Comedy Central late at night but I'm not so sure. 

    Dara you were just cracking jokes left&right, trying to cover up for "euphenism," clown midwives? Seriously? But that clown laugh was hilarious, but also kind of creepy.

    You ladies are fantastic, can't wait for next week.

    OMG - Dara was truly 'on it' this week!  Watch those extra consonants girl!

    I was watching

    old webisodes of We're Getting Nowhere when it was only Jill and Karman. It was still interesting but then enter Dara and she is comedy gold to the vlog. She makes me laugh alot. So funny. I was a little disappointed that they did not mention the best line of the whole series. When Shane meets the husband and he wants to shake her hand and Shane says my hands are wet. Talk about a euphemism. Anyways outstanding vlog ladies.

    Random List Of Thoughts

    bouncy castle (never heard of a moon bounce) and ball pool (what you wanted Bette to order)

    Moo point - watchers of Friends I see...

    Must buy 'Desert Hearts' now...

    Dara rules - don't care if it was the gum or not...

    Love 'Cats'...

    bittybuffy's picture

    Agreed

    It's a bouncy castle and a ball pool. And both rule. Especially if you mix them and you're really quite drunk. Good times.
    Awesome vlog; loved the blind date re-enactment.

    In England we call them

    In England (where I live anyway) we call them bouncy castles but not ball pools, we call them ball pits :]

    Aussie

    I'm from Australia and we call them jumping castles... I've never heard them being called anything else before.

    And the only ball pool I've seen is at maccas. I've only heard it been called 'the thing with the balls in it'.

    open relationship

    ...you have an open relationship with your MUM? you like... sleep with other people, then sleep with each other and compare notes? seek therapy. seek it now.

    I agree, I have no idea

    I agree, I have no idea what you were trying to say but I'm sure it's not what we all thought you said.

    Hey

    Nice ep. Way better than last week, but I guess that's just because it was longer :) 

    Clowns scare the shit out of me too. And I love watching Big Cat Diary, I always cheer on the cat to get their pray :D

    Vote Dara '08

    I was glad to see someone talk about the funeral picketers ... seriously hate those little fuckers.

    karman...singing just a line of spice girls... is worth gold to me.

    All very silly.

    Ha!

    The abject terror / overwhelming fury that Bennett displays at the mere mention of Fred Phelps amuses me.

    I can understand it, but I think that most people are much more furious about it than the few of us who actually live in his town are.

    He’s just a fixture here—at least, he is to me.
    As passé as a streetlight, really.

    A silly man.

    Anyway, I have to agree with the general consensus that Dara was really on this time. The jokes just kept on coming!

    Quite funny. Anticipating next week, as usual.

    Stop YAling !

    Dara, Jill: don't be ashamed of laughing when Karman says something hilarious like "stop YAling" or "suck it Alice ! Not litterally, but...". Come on !! "Ne faites pas la fine bouche" !

     

    I started watching WGN last week and I have seen almost every episode now... (even the ANTM ones which I can't relate to anything because ANTM is not aired in my country :0P ) / Yes, I am a little on holidays right now. And guess what ! After a billion episodes in ten days, I am not even tired of it !

     

    And among many many things I love about this blog, I have to emphasize (because euphenisms are not my cup of apple juice) the duck sounds you make / at least it's ducks for me. I thought me and a couple of friends were the only persons in the world to do these weird sounds AND think it's funny. So I am glad about it // the only difference is that "wak wak" would have to be "mak mak" in french... whatever... private joke... sorry... or not !

    Luck, Next Time

    The Jesus scene seemed disturbing, scary how some peoples minds work. Other than that, overall, a good episode.  Loving WGN.

    Whoops Jill, Colts lost, awesome 94-yard touchdown though.

    KAN'T KEEP UP

    Tooo many quotables in the ep guys!!!

    Karman: She did it all "I" style

    Karman: Would you like to buy an "m"?

    Karman: You know what the people like Jill, I'll give you that

    Dara: Well now we have the answer to the question "What Would Jesus Do?"

    Jill: "What Would Jesus Do?" apparently her, doggy-style

    Karman: "Shoot some lube in me" that's a medical term

    O the "jumpy house" is a Moon Bounce right? and I think the thing with the balls....I don't know what that's called, I think a ball pin???? And YAY for 40min!!!

                                                                                             

    Sara: They didn't hit that shit.
    Tegan: I didn't...
    Sara: Say it, it's okay, it's part of the therapy.
    Tegan: No it really wasn't about "hitting that shit" I really wanted to like marry the person. I was in a very desperate state.
    Sara: You wanted to hit that shit and get married.
    Tegan: Yeah.

    having problems with the vlog. it freezes up all of the sudden & when i reload it freezes up a little bit after the point it froze up the last time and on and on. this happened once before with a vlog right before the whole site shutdown due to "too much lesbian processing". anybody have this problem or a solution? (on a mac)
    Tennya's picture

    So glad someone mentioned it

    I have a PC but the same thing happens to be 90 percent of the time and when it does work, most of the time there's no sound! I think it's because I have a bad connection, I dunno about the sound, does anyone else get sound problems?

    I had the same problem last week too (on a PC), I think it can be a flash player probelm because it runs really well now I update my flash player.
    Hope it helps.

    You ladies were on top form, "clap clap clap".

    In the uk we call them bouncy castles, because they're generally in the shape of a castle and bouncy!! Who would've thought ey?

    The clown laugh was my fav part, definately scar you for life. Clowns are evil, they suck your soul away. IT just confirms it. (even though it's a giant spider in the end).

    Must say, I've done my fair share of narcotics and if my tiny feeble brain would let me I'd still be doing them now, but alas, it's tiny and feeble, so i can not. Carry on ladies carry on, go sking for the summer, toot your horn.

    how do y'all not hit yr heads on the shelf above the couch?  if i had that living room arrangement i totally would bang my head each time (well, hopefully just the once) i leaned back.
    shamWow's picture

    Maybe that's just me, but ...

    I wish Jill would have got more time to discuss her stance on gay activism/politics because damn, if it isn't true!!

    But it's not only us who "turn the other cheek" when someone cuts our rights, I think in these days it's a intersocial phenomena (just thinking about the working-class).

    And why is it impolite to talk about politics anyway? It's such a big deal in our lives (expecially for minorities) and has to have definitely a place in vlogs - even in ones who "just" review shows for entertainment reasons.

     

    So with that said, todays vlog was really good/ f***ing awesome and loved to hear you rambling so freely about stuff.

    lookalikes..

    well, did u notice, that all three of them are wearing dark hair in a part? hell, either next week one of them turns blonde or theyre all gonna wear mustaches :) either which way, would be interesting for a change.

    as for the content, u are all soo very gay ladies! i don't remember season 1 anymore, but more interesting than ur repititions are the side discussions about polygamious relationsships etc anyway. go strong!

    i don't know if it's a regional thing but i lived in ventura and worked at a preschool and we called them jolly jumpers.

    a lot of great moments in this episode especially jill's close up.

    preemptive poutiness

    Why was Karman cut out of the screen shot on the homepage? I was about to pitch a fit thinking she was not in this episode when I only saw (the lovely) Dara and Jill. I had already decided in my head she was off gallivanting with Miss Bridget at the Power Up Gala pre game  and had abandoned us.
    Clara's picture

    its cus the screen-caps is

    its cus the screen-caps is taken from the re-enactment which had Jill as Dana and Dara as the blind date guy. Karman wasn't in that bit, they've done that for their screencaps before

    How I love thee...

    It's been nice to see Jill back these past two episodes. She'd been holding back a little. All you ladies are so wonderful. I could do a recap of your recap its that darn entertaining. Now I'd love to see what Jill was writing :D.

    Re-enactments rocked once again.

    Di's picture

    great once again

    Made my day. I love when the vlog comes up as 40 min. as opposed to last week's 15...I know you had a lot more to work with this time, and you delivered as per usual. Dara always has the great one-liners and Karman and Jill are fantastic as always. I know I'll have to watch this again to catch all the references...it takes a second viewing to absorb it all. Great job ladies, can't wait for the next one. Great scene with Luna....she's a star...

    Of the terrible 3. Thanks for the vocab lesson. So many one-line zingers flying everywhere! Love it!  You three turn my frown upside down! 

    Okay Jill, you know we all want to know what names you wrote down on your pad!! Dara's face was priceless. Oh! My eyes! 8)

    Aww, great times, great laughs. Luna's face is priceless, I've never seen anyone look at Dana with such hate, not even her mother. Luna's talent is out of this world, I have never been so moved by any being four or two legged. She is right up there with Cate Blanchet for me, thank you Luna for the great entertainment and I hope to see more of you.
