HoWeva Do u Want Me? HoWeva Do ya Need Me?!!

Ok... I gotta know if anyone else lOST their Mind when "Back to Life" came on!!!  I use to LOVE that song!  Soul II Soul was ALWAYS on heavy rotation at every family get together. 

My favorite dance was the lil' Salt & Pepa performance.  Loved it.  The hair.  The costumes.  Incredible. 

Other than that .... this episode left me with a million and one questions.
Why would Ilene make Alice so miserable at the end of the series? 
Why is Ilene ignoring Max? 
Where is the Tasha/Jamie chemistry? (Cause I don't see it)
Why in the world is Bette dragging her feet about tellin' Tina the situation? 
I have no idea how this is gonna be wrapped up in 2hours but ... I'll be tuned in, like the little lesbian L Word masochist that I am, to give Chakin one more opportunity to let me down. 

Anyway!  On a lighter note!  Dee, listen.  Everybody's gotta house with the wood paneling on the walls ... it's all good.  She's coordinating the wood from the walls ... With the wooden masks!  See it's a theme!!  nah, I'm playin.  Here's a random 90's hit for y'all ...

Hilarious as always ladies!

I DID I DID!!!

I lost my mind too when Bette and Tina started dancing to that song...but the reason I love that song soooo much was because of the opening scene to the movie "Belly" and they used the acapella version...that song mixed in with all the visuals gave me chills......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdj-b5ISvnE&feature=related

And then last season they danced to "Walk on By" by Isaac Hayes, Bette and Tina have the best music!

omg! wicked tune! i haven't

omg! wicked tune! i haven't heard dat song in a while still. 

speaking of 90's music, here is a song that i SWEAR is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find, mostly because nobody knows the damn name of it. I tried to find this song for the longest time, but seeing how it doesn't play on the radio that often, I can't even search the lyrics to get the name. Thankfully during one of my insomnia bouts, i turned on the radio to hear it and figured out what the possible name of it could be.

anyways, i'm rambling... here it is:

Fun Vlog

Well, first...I might be wrong, but my understanding is that the finale of The L Word isn't a two-hour finale. They're doing the hourlong retrospective of the entire series at 8 PM and then the regular episode at 9 PM. So if you couldn't imagine them being able to wrap all this up in two hours, think about what they won't be able to wrap up in one.

Sigh.

A few thoughts on this episode: 

1. I absolutely loved Tasha, Alice and Jamie's Salt N' Pepa routine--it might go down as one of my favorite scenes ever on The L Word. Rose Rollins made that scene and it just looked like so much fun...

2. Jodi lied to Bette about Kelly confirming Jenny's story, didn't she? I mean, when would that have happened? For that to be true, Jenny, Jodi and Kelly would had to have gotten together and discussed the whole issue at some other time (since Kelly wasn't at the dance marathon)--that seems unlikely. 

3. Bette not telling Tina about what Jenny thinks she saw makes it seem so much worse than it really was--especially since Bette seems so gung-ho about moving (is she doing it for Tina or to get away from Jesse Spano?). I can understand not saying anything during the Dance Marathon, but to not have had the conversation while waiting on the bus, I think is inexcusable.  

Loved the vlog, as always...I'm definitely looking forward to your finale recap and whatever comes next (hopefully you'll do vlogs from Dinah like last year).

Funny and entertaining as always ;)

Watch out for the skinny girl! (we need love too)

Let the big girls have their songs

Skinny girls get plenty of love; it's called the mainstream media.  

Every TV show, every magazine cover, everything...

Let the big girls have their songs.

LMAO

You guys made this season caos soo much easier to swallow. Thank you

 I agree IC ain't gonna to wrap a damn thing up

 It's only a hour long I thought the first hour is a look back at all the years of The L Word

 Someone needs to really call her (IC) ass out on all the WTF's of this season but nobody seems to want to do it.

well they are ending with an L word.....LAME

You are so funny .... love it! The whole season has sucked. so many loose ends

what happen to jesse spano? what happen to max? What about the letter to shane? What about the Moonlighting wedding? What happen to the confused carpenter? Is jenny going to show Tina the picture? What does I'm not done with you mean Tanya? Heck at this point I'm just watching to see Carmen .... if the rumors are true. I don't really care who killed Jenny, I think they are all in on it!  Oh and where oh where was all the hot lovin?

you guys are hilarious!! I

you guys are hilarious!! I love watching your videos.

the season finale is 2 hours long? I though it was one? They say one hour was a look back at the  l word and the other hour was the season finale.

i hopes its two hours bc i think its impossible to wrap up everything in one hour.

 i hope u guys dont stop makin these videos.

Wood Panels!

From the screencap I thought you guys had secretly filmed the vlog in my parent's basement! Minus the giant orange and green sombrero on the wall...ANYWAY, loved this vlog! Down here in middle Georgia we got snow too! It did take all the snow in the yard to make a decent sized snowman though, Jenn is right :p I can't wait to see what you all thought of the last episode. Please oh please comment on the creepy smiling all the way to the police station outro. WTF?!
