Come With Me If You Want To Live: "The L Word" 6.3

This week Dee and Jenn are choosing to be oblivious to the concept of Shenny. Instead, they press onto DJ Sunset Boulevard, the hotness that is Helena and Bette's infectious laughter.

Also, Troy is back to give you the scoop on this year's Honda Battle of the Bands held in Atlanta's Georgia Dome.

Come With Me If You Want to Live: "The L Word" 6.3

Check back next week for a new episode.

Edit out the Shenny = Win

Doesnt really make sense that Adele would get three contracts when she didnt even direct half the film. Maybe ive forgotten, but it seems like it was almost the end of the movie when she picked it up. And wtf is up with Phyllis firing Bette at a bar? Thats professional. I hope Joyce drops her and sues her over something or another.

I agree, Kit and Helena just pop up in random scenes every so often. But as Jenn said, I certainly dont mind when shes walking away. Give her a storyline back at least, minus something having to do with Dylan. Loved Helena and Bette's laughter, couldnt help but laugh along with them. Same goes for Jenn and Dee. Anyways, it was bad enough having to watch Shenny throughout the ep, so im glad you guys didnt even bring it up really lol. Can Jenny just die already and get back to the storylines that matter more.

as i said before shenny is

as i said before shenny is wrong. dead wrong, and i can't believe they're wasting the characters like this on the last season of the l word. shane, before they gave her a personality transplant, would have never had sex with one of her friends. and to be having sex with jenny, when she knows better than anyone else what a headcase she is, is just stupid. and shane has been promiscious and thought with the little head more than the big head a bit too much but she has never been that stupid. the only thing that made it better was that bette was laughing at the absurdity of it the entire show.

 the bette and phyllis thing was another gross thing. i mean what the hell, was phyllis waiting for the second she fired bette to hit on her? and wasn't she engaged?

alice is still getting on my nerves and tasha is still hot. i'm just disappointed with the show. if ilene had started listening to the shows fans about the plot holes, ridiculous personality transplants, and stupid storylines that make no sense, the show wouldn't be as bad as it is now. i wish they would do a seventh season just to make up for the hot mess this season is turning out to be and to have a show that doesn't revolve around the craziness that is jenny.

and troy is such a cutie. you guys talking about bands almost makes me want to come down south and check out some of these band competitions.

Feeling This....

This Vlog made my heart smile. I love your take on TLW and as a band geek, I totally got all the BOTB talk, although I went to a predominetly white college. I attend all the BOTB stuff we have here in Detroit though. Keep up the great work ladies, can't wait to see whassup for next week.

Is it just me or does

Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that Mama Chaiken is trying for a 1980's Dallas who shot JR thing here? I can't help but worry that at the end of the season Jenny's gonna be sitting in her little hometown writing! Or worse yet, in an insane asylum writing. You know- she never left home and is writing what she THINKS living around the girls would be like. I can't bring myself to watch any more.

Cut out Shenny

Cut out Shenny...that was the best move ever. If only I could have been able to fast forward the show during those scenes. I agree Helena definately need more input in the show putting her hotness in a corner is a crime.

I loved your interpretation of Angus's song. I couldnt stop laughing.

NCCU MARCHING SOUND MACHINE ALUMNI....

Ok...First of all I feel like Ive been living under a rock or something because I just started watching this Vlog like 2 weeks ago ( thank god for DL). Now Im stuck on after ellen trying to catch up on everything.

Jenn..Dee..Troy..ya'll are F'ing hilarious!!Im always yelling back at the screen with ya'll about everything.lol I know it sounds like I have a crowd of people in my house when Im watching your vlog...

Anyways.... the l word is slowly turning into a waste of time...its not there yet..but I feel it in my Spirit! I mean.... crazy plots, people in scenes that dont belong there, Shenny, HIT, kit's hair, everybody is losing their jobs ...Ughhh must I go on??

You know what?? Jenny (or whoever did it) should have stolen THIS EPISODE....thats all I have to say about that...*deep breath* but ill still tune in for a few good laughs...

 Now that thats out the way...The vlogs are great! Especially the ITLA Pride in Atlanta and the Dina Shore weekend thingie...

But HONESTLY...ya'll didn't have have to rag on my Band like that (shout out to all my sax players)...the Marching Sound Machine prides itself on being innovative. Yes .. We march traditional and corps style...it makes a greater visual impact when going  for one style to the other ...yes...we can roll our feet and marching 90s all in the same drill....they weren't walkin...Jenn!...lol..Okay..*deep breath* Im done....

 keep up the good work...and hey....dont forget about the gay and lesbian fraternities and sororities...if you havent touched on that subject already....but be careful im in Phi Alpha Nu Fraternity, Inc (Dom/aggr/stud/lesbian fraternity)...so try to be easy this time...dang.....

Keeping you smiling like Prozac!

AGGIE PRIDE!

I can't wait until I go to college and continue with band.  I know HBCU is where its at but I'm not sure if I'm going to NC A&T like my dad or Tuskegee like my grandfather and become a Crimson Piper.  At my school you have to choose sides between A&T and Central but thats not a hard choice.

I loved that you guys

I loved that you guys talked about the bands!! Ok so I am so proud of NC A&T. I knew they would do big things this year. Oh yeah what is going on with NCCU ? I mean this is the second time that you have disagreed with thier performance. My friend-girl graduated from NCCU so I will ask her if they really are that bad. Fayetteville State I have to say I never really paid much attention too. So looks like my hometown and state is on the map now North Carolina!!! Yeah Baby. I really do not feel the need to comment on this episode but I really loved the way Bette was just rolling laughing. I mean she had me laughing. Anywho....keep up the great work and Jenn you really are dedicated to band even though you were sick you still climbed out of bed to go watch. LOL

Showing some southern love Tasha......

This episode

Was a complet waste of time.  If it weren't for Bette I wouldnt remember a thing about it.  Sad ain't it.  Im just waiting for Sarah Shahi now, its the only reason i keep watching. I dont know if its me or not but doesnt Jen look hot in that hat...ummph

What I think is happening with shenny!

I think that Jenny is playing Shane to hurt her like she is hurting everyone else. They said everyone is a suspect...therefore it makes sense that shane would wanna kill Jenny for pretending she was in love with her...kinda like what she did to Nikki. I dunno just a thought. tell me what you think.

Regina Phalange's picture

I agree!

I thought the same exact thing! We all know how psychotic Jenny is. Seems like faking a romance just to play someone out would be right up her alley...
skyocence's picture

I third that...

From the moment she said that she was in love with Shane, that's what came to my mind.

Someone mentioned the Dallas/JR theme before.  I totally thought that last week with the Nikki outburst.  In fact, I thought of Dynasty's character Alexis - she often had freakouts like that.   Another throwback to the soap operas is that at the end of the scene that characters are alone and end up just talking to the screen.  Only thing that's need now is some slaps...of the Alexis variety..hahaha 

Jenn and D, great job as always.  I don't get the marching band bit but it's enjoyable to see how excited and passionate you are about it :)

I think Jenny's death is a

I think Jenny's death is a result of Shane finding the jacket in the attic and she suicides after shane dumps her for hiding it and lying

shout out to prof. troy!

absolutely loved bette laughing in this ep!

and thanks for bringing attention to jodi. good to know i wasn't the only one who thought she was actually lookin alright. good call on the eyebrows. i think her hair helped as well.

Jenn's picture

Thanks for posting those vids, Vicky!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed them!  Honda was such a treat, most of my fave bands showcased this year.  I had to go back & look at a few things:

TUSKEGEE's death march was on point & the PYT arrangement was VERY well written & executed.  The flags in the back were also very together.  The little band w/the big sound, gotta love those Crimson Pipers!!! 

A&T did the best drill this year, PERIOD.  It's really a shame because their conference is a popularity contest & such a good band is continuously overlooked.  I'm glad they made it to Honda this year, they deserved it.

JSTATE's opening fanfare gives me chills everytime I hear it!  They have a french horn section from HEAVEN!

FAMU's Jasmine Sullivan arrangement was nice, I loved how it ended.  Pretty creative band.  44 tubas & 10 drum majors...Lord have mercy!  The tubas' sound during the predrill made me smile, literally!

Ok, enough with the geek stuff.  'Preciate cha for watching, we'll see everybody again next week!

1)  Thank you so much for

1)  Thank you so much for skipping over shenny.  i DVR l word so i also skip over that nastiness

2)  DJ whoever is going to end up wanting Kit Porter.  He gonna turn out to be this sexy man that wants her and shes gonna say "hey why not?" and  That will be the nail in the L word coffin.

3) I love you BOTB recap, who is editting your stuff.  Whoever it is seems to be taking out too much of your random moments.  I means we all watch L word, we watch your re-caps to see the random off the wall banter that somehow distantly relates to the show,

4)Second episode with a Coming to America qoute... I'm loving it.  Take me back to random snowed in college nights. LOL

Feline Friend & Band Geeks.

I had no idea what you ladies/troy were talking about regarding the band stuff either, but then I watched the YouTube videos Victoria posted somewhere up there ^, and had a moment of recognition when Troy mentioned the stick woman throwing the brick and stuff with confetti happened. In the video the atmosphere seemed electric, it's nice to have something like that to be a part of. And if you guys are band geeks then I'm a tennis geek. No shame in it!

Besides, band talk is far more intersting than L Word crap! My eyes burn at Shenny. I just can't fathom the direction this show has gone in. Bette and Tina wanting another baby is beyond me. They've only just got back together, and does it seem to anyone else like Tina is just going back to her old 'walk-all-over-me' ways? WHERE DID HER SPINE GO?!

Phyllis? I just need to smack somebody for that damn scene with Bette.

Anyway, after I enjoyed watching the last few of your vlogs, I went and watched most of the ones I hadn't seen and noticed people posted pictures of their furry family members. So here is my little man showing off his modelling (and sleeping) abilities. He's 18 years old but has the heart of a kitten.
