That Painting...

In the last scene where Bette & Jodi are fighting, what was the painting? Anybody? I'd like to know, so please if you know, tell me and then I'll know!

And I wasn't uncomfortable. I was torn between everyone. Like you've got Kit being a damned fool, Papi looking like a love-sick puppy, Shane & Paige and Tash & Alice and Tina and whats-her-name. It was very tense, I'll say that much! No one seemed to know what going on!

"Bette - You Want...

...to be in a relationship with someone who works for you!"

Until this episode, I was decidely lukewarm about Jodi. Now, with one line of dialogue, I'm a fan - no future thought, word, deed or omission will ever devalue the magic moment when Jodi, loaded for bear, lets Bette have it right between the eyes  :)

Let us also spare a moment to thank the programme-makers for their introduction of lipstick diagrams...

I like Jodi. She's sexy and I love how she signs. I sign. Badly, but I manage. I can say You're a lesbian in Auslan. And You piss me off. And F... yes, well anyway.

What was that painting?!?

Tina

Unlike many, many people here, I still like Tina a lot  and I'm still wishing for Tibette even if in season one, I didn't care that much for them.

And about Paige and Shane ... I just don't feel it. I know Carmen won't be back and I hope Shane can find someone else ... but not Paige please...

Alice and Tasha are great as always ... too bad Tasha will be leaving ...

Helena is hot, but she should just get rid of Catherine cause that woman is no good to her ...

You know a friend asked me

You know a friend asked me after we'd watched LBB why I hated Tina so much. And I couldn't give her a straight answer (or a gay one for that matter...) but I think it's the way Tina's been portrayed. I mean, what Bette did her was AWFUL and Tina sought solace in a guy. I'm thankful that was never really shown, but at the same time, I think what annoyed me the most was how Tina was portrayed. Your female lover cheats on you, what do you do? Go back to men. It's such a sterotype and I expected better of the writers. Alas, poor Tina, you've no control over yourself, do you?

And I don't want Tash to leave. I think she's good for Alice. I don't want Alice to go all psycho again. I'm thinking that in S5, Alice'll get one of those telegrams to tell her Tash died in action. That would really ruin the show for me.

What don't you like about Paige, LGirl? I adore her! It's not often you see a 6' foot woman on screen like that. I tried, but failed...

Tina didn't go back to men

Tina didn't go back to men because Bette cheated on her. When Bette cheated, she went out with Helena. She started having feelings for men long after that.

Agreed on the Tina issue.

Agreed on the Tina issue. Tina even said that 'NINA' *coughcough* didn't go back to men because of 'eh whatever Bette's Lez Girls name is, which was what Jenny was implying. Tina was very clear about it, though she could have just been indignant.

Oh Gosh!

omg!!!

what's wrong between Jodi and Bette??? Why is Bette not trying to relax. She seems to be worried all the time. Was she jealous about tina and the director? Is she really in love with Jodi or she is just in love with the possibility of going through her break up with Tina?

Come on Bette, you used to be happy... Please enjoy life and live... Jodi is maybe not the one, maybe she is just not done with Tina....

Sorry, I really didn't get that episode... What's the point between Katherine and Helena? What does Tina really want??? (Henri? men? women? Bette? the director?...)... Why is Kit in that alcoholic bullshit? She said she was not in love with Angus anymore...Why is she drinking more and more? Shane, just lose her "freshing" way to live, going around with everyone... Max...whatever...Alice, please change your clothes, Jenny...not getting one of her thoughts....

This is going no where! Hope the 5th season will be better...

Love you Bette....

Thanks for

reminding me what happened with Bette and Tina LGirl! And thanks for reminding me how bad my memory is! *grin*

It's OK Casual, I think a lot of people are confused and angry to a degree. I get angry because I'll watch an episode and I'll be 'That's not what lesbians are like, Ilene' and then I get angry and throw my pillow at the TV screen and knock over Buddha who reminds me I should be nice about it. So then I smile as I asked Ilene what the hell she was thinking....
