Come With Me If You Want to Live: "The L Word" Episode 6.8

This week, instead of filling you in on the series finale of The L Word, Dee and Jenn neglect their duties as vloggers and decide to rant and rave about the show's unfinished business. What's up with the Carmen cameo? Why didn't anyone care to do Angelica's hair? Who killed Jenny Schecter?

Come With Me If You Want To Live will be taking a short break after this episode to recover from their ranting, but they'll be back with new episodes of their vlog soon!

Jenn.  In a wifebeater.

Ok.  I apologize.  Back on topic.  L Word Series Finale.  I agree with y'all.  IT WAS TOO AWFUL to describe!  But I'll try anyway.

* Alice had some really hilarious moments in this episode!  That scene in the Planet -"Thank you ... and f*ck YOU!."  brilliant. laughed my butt off.  And Love?  Love, Jamie?  Tasha was sittin' there lookin' like "Wha? For Wha, WE DON'T LUV DEM HOEZ!!" 

* Alice on the phone with Shane "oOo You lik-it-win-I-touch-u-lik-Dat? Cuz-I-lik-it-win-u-touch-me-lik-dat."   Loved it.  It was a flashback to Season 1 Alice.

*  Dylan & the Knife. lame.  Matter fact!  EVERYTHING having to do with Dylan and Helena was lame. 

*  Shane & Molly.  Why the heck was she actin' like she couldn't open her freakin' mouth and tell the girl she never got the dumb note?!!!  waste.

*  Carmen.  I was so sad.  10 seconds of Carmen.  thas it.  So cruel. 

*  The ending.  Wow.  I get that this was suppose to be a final shot of the whole crew ... but it was STRANGE AS HELL?!!!  WHY ARE WE ON A LESBIAN CAT WALK GOIN' INTO THE POLICE STATION MAKIN' SEDUCTIVE FACES AT EACH OTHER?!!    Six seasons of ordering Showtime for this.  Wow.  (Please believe that I canceled it as SOON as the finale went off, by the way. lol)   

OH!  Y'all triggered a memory with the Angie/Brush and Water conversation.  omg.  My Mom wore that method OUT on my head back in the day.  Then!  As I got older!  I started stylin' my own hair & took a few of her tips -  Y'all remember this method?!

The toothbrush-

The Gel

Instant Baby Hair!

NOT THE INSTANT BABY HAIR!!!

LOL!!!  Why do girls still wear their hair this way in 2009?!  Honey, you are almost 30, THAT'S ADULT HAIR, & judging from that nappy kitchen, you didn't have BABY HAIR even when you were a BABY!!!

My fave is when they shape their sideburns & use too much gel.  They have a brown film going down the side of their face & by the end of the day it's crusty & white & just TERRIBLE!

Anyway, lemme stop hatin' on my people!  We'll have to come up with something else to talk crap vlog about.  We'll see everyone again soon!

P.S.- TLW sucks...BRING SPASHLEY BACK!!!

Yep, you guys saw the same

Yep, you guys saw the same thing I did.  lol    You pretty much summed up what we all were thinking.  Thanks I loved watching your video more than the episode. 
sloane's picture

i agree that this last

i agree that this last episode was horrific. i've been turned off by the storylines on the l-word for a while now and i believe if it wasn't about lesbians, and if it wasn't for tasha and shane, i would have stopped watching a long time ago. the ending was absurd and i believe they used this last season as a launching pad for ilene's new show, instead of giving the l word a proper ending. i mean the show, by itself should be able to stand alone and have an appropriate end b/c what if ilene never gets to do "the farm" or an l word movie? that means we never find out what happened to jenny and that all these stories are never wrapped up.

and i was SO disappointed over that teeny tiny blip of a scene with carmen. i've always been hoping for some closure where carmen and shane were concerned and they give us closure between shane and boring ass mom-hair molly instead? it was SUCH a gyp.

as for tasha and alice, i think they could have a least showed us exactly what happened between tasha and jamie instead of springing tasha on everybody in the last 5 f**king minutes of the episode with no explanation of what transpired. that was just bad storytelling. 

i think bette and tina should have adopted max's baby but that's just me. and i wish shane would've broken up with jenny's crazy ass earlier so we didn't have to be subjected to the  shenny hot mess all season long. and i agree with aksala, the catwalk into A DAMN POLICE STATION WHEN YOU'RE BEING QUESTIONED ABOUT A MURDER, is just extremely absurd, and again bad storytelling.

all in all, if this is how the series ended i believe it was a complete waste of my life. all those l word parties i went to and discussions i had with friends were a complete waste. it's like ilene had no respect for her audience. anyway i hope to see you ladies vlogging about something else too. you made the l word somewhat enjoyable with all your funny commentary and observations.

@dee- i'm loving the new furniture! it looks very cozy.

Oh Dee you got hips.... how

Oh Dee you got hips.... how uuuuuu dooooin? LOL

 

Anyways... i agre with everything you guys said. except you skipped the whole Nikki stevens semi confession.  I mean WTF was that?  and yes Jen i thought the same thing at the end untill jenny popped up.

MizEloise's picture

this is the first video ive

this is the first video ive seen of yours, and you 2 are hilarious and right on!! you mentioned everything i was thinking throughout that show. max's moustacheHAHAHAHA the cameos, etc, it was all just like a mean ending in general. i'd like to think everyone killed her, just for excitement. oh yeah another thing is you kinda feel bad for jenny. they should have made her extra bitchy for the last episode.

 

i diisagree about molly tho, even tho i looove shane and carmen and they were prob the hottest couple on the show, i did love molly and shane. that was the only wrap-up that i liked, even tho you dont know if they end up back together, thats not like a cruel way to leave things off with them, unlike the rest of the show.

 

the last word of the l word was a word i would have preferred not to have heard.

marcia's picture

good hair

haha. you know i have been talking about that since angie came on the l word. now jenifer, pam and rose should say something to the stylist about her hair. they know about that stuff.

and i do agree with you guy about the show, what the hall man, the last show and they couldn't do better than that. why the hell would IFC let tina say those things after getting head, that was so out of character for tina because she is alway so into sex with bette that she can't even talk for a couple of minutes. and why would angie call sunset daddy, a little girl her age knows the different between daddy and man, IFC and crew sucks!!!

Thanks for vlogging the season!

I enjoyed watching your recaps all season long. 

I hope you'll keep up the vlogging, even if it's just talking about random stuff.

Thanks for recapping the last season of The L Word.  You two were great sports for doing it for us despite the love-hate  vibe of TLW. Peace for that.

I'm so glad you two brought up the issue with Angie's hair. It's shame that baby had to look like  that in front of whole world. Where was her real mother/or parent? 

I love it how you two keep it real for us. I can't wait for your next blog. If you're going to Dinah this year can you vblog about that please. Thanks.

You two are incredibly

You two are incredibly funny.

But I'm not feeling the Jenny hostility. Jenny is beautiful, and Bette sad she was talented, who is a better judge of talent I would think. I always thought Jenny was the star.

I thought the end curtain call was the best part of the entire show.

nikki hiding in the bushes!

was i the only one that thought that was weird? maybe she killed jenny... or IC just decided she wanted to have her in the scene so she threw her in the bushes! because that is how the l word rolls... sad.

Awesome job on the vlog this week, as always! You guys had me cracking up the whole time! I loved what you said about Alice being the voice of the audience...so true.

 You guys rock! I cant wait to see what you'll vlog about next :)

still laughing

That's the first time I've seen your vlog and you two had me laughing so loud I startled my dog! That last episode of L word sucked, but at least I got to laugh about it tonight. PS I was madddddd at the cheap cameo they gave our Carmen(no one is as smokin' hot as her)!

oh and check out if you havent already, check out the interrogation tapes.  only tina's is up so far, but they're supposed to be posting more soon.

. . . makes the finale look pretty frakkin brilliant.  UGH.

SuperTex's picture

ain't enough time

in the world, let alone a vlog, to rant about the hot mess that was the finale of TLW. its a shame y'all had to recap the worse season, but props for holdin it down every week!

Moni325's picture

I know there was a reason

I knew there was a reason I cancelled showtime.  Ilene totally screwed us.  Im with Jen on this.  I waited all this time just to see my girl carmen and all she gets is five freaking seconds. wtf, are you kidding me.   im seriously boycotting ilene anything.  the entire season sucked big.  I do have to say that bette looked hot as hell during her exit.  chick was mad sexxxy.  other than that the whole episode was a waste of time and a huge disappointment.  thank God they had alice for comic relief.
Painterly's picture

L-Word

I wonder if there's some sort of reverse psychology that Ilene has done so that the lesbian community would be so outraged that we would make effort and demands to generate more programs that WE like.

hmmm...

That or the whole series was Jenny's creation all along and the last episode reflected the bad choices happeneing when the movie was taken away from her?

hmmmm...

I wish I had seen this

I wish I had seen this before I saw the episode.  It was a lot better than the actual show.  Hope the vlog comes back soon yall are mad funny.  And Jenn in a wifebeater...damn

Got it wrong

Loni Anderson was married to Burt Reynolds, not Tom Selleck. But I can forgive you. Anyone can get overwhelmed by the mustache.

Great re-cap as usual!

Shane Porter's picture

lmao

yes, both Burt and Tom had mustaches that deserved their own credit in TV shows and movies, so the mix-up understandable and forgiveable. :)

as for who killed jenny...my 1st thought was WHO GIVES A F*%^?!? and then, i figured she just kiiled herself....even though by the end of this episode, only bette and shane had hardcore reasons 4 strangling her, among other things...i think she killed herself. she finally realized what all of us knew already: everybody hated her and wished she would go FAR, FAR AWAY!!!! congratulations jennifer schecter, you finally did something we wanted you to do!

and (ladies, please don't kill me me for this) even though this episode answered little to NO questions about anything throughout the season or series, and in spite of only seeing 5-10 seconds of our beloved CARMEN (*tear*) & making it seem like molly was the love of her life (wtf?), and the awkward & out of place, but mildly sexy catwalk exit...it was nicely shot? lol it's almost like ilene wanted to let us down as gently as possible, so we wouldn't be as distracted by the B.S. that overflowed in this episode. 

Dee and Jenn, lol i really don't think it matters what yall blog about...as long as u ladies come back every week with something funny as hell! i'm sure yall will figure out something :)

space's picture

will not look at term 'special attention' the same way again

you guys were right on with everything on this episode! what a sad way for them to go out.  from the dylena bs, to the mustache, all the idle talk time waster crap, and um, lack of a murder (what they have been pimping this season to be about)...sigh, what hasn't been said about this episode that hasn't been said already?  i actually liked the idea of a curtain call, if only it didn't look like they were laughing at jenny being murdered! wtf!!! lol.  what bothered me a lot with the l word was the actual lack of showing you how situations progressed, and instead just telling you what happened (i.e. kit being mad at sunset, next episode he's "daddy")  they like to leave out a lot.  it is just lazy lazy writing.  i though the tasha/alice/jamie storyline was the most legit, but then it just ended up super anticlimactic. and  IC must not like stars upstaging the show, like marina and carmen.  gotta be the reason they got such crappy treatment.  ahh..better stop ranting!  great recap dee and jenn!!  you two deserve a nice long, but not too long;) vacation!

I was sooo upset about this

I was sooo upset about this episode. The lines were horrible and forced....and since when do people die after falling off a second floor balcony INTO A POOL OF WATER!!! ....if that is how she died....i mean give us a little hint about how the child died.... but anyway jenn and dee , you two are soo funny! you had me cracking up and at some point i too had a mental picture of all of the L worders just getting so pissed at jenny that they just gathered up mob form and collectively pushed the child off ...or downed the child....i still can't figure out how u die falling off a second floor balcony into water...i've seen people jump off of roofs into pools...

hello everybody

Hello everybody!!! It has been a long time since I posted so I just wanted to see how all my fellow fans of the show are doing? I was just wondering if anyone has followed season 2 of the Terminator? The Last episode was something (crazy). I wish jenn and dee could vlogg about that because so much has happen this season. I know they are busy with school and all but hey even if they can't vlogg about that just vlogg about anything. I'm sure they will be going to Dina so we will prob. see them then. Anyways I hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend!!! Tasha

Jenny's ex lover

i'm still trying to figure out what the heck nicki was doin in the bushes, this episode was just such a waste :(, WILL THERE EVER BE ANY GOOD SEASON FINALES? grrrrr
MoR!ot MoRevo's picture

i guess i made the

i guess i made the assumption that nicki had something to do with jenny's death becuz when the police told her to get out the bushes, shane was all "nicki wat are you doing here?" and nicki's all "i couldnt stand seeing the way she treated you" or sumthing like that. so yeah, maybe she had something to do with it? i guess we'll never know.

Plunk'd's picture

Its been bugging me..

I still wanna know why the hell Niki was in the bushes.I mean, I doubt she was 'just in the neighborhood' at the time.
