'The L Word': Whine and Dine

Phantom – I don’t get it rap music or line dancing but I don’t feel the need to go to various website that support such things to tell them as much. Heck, why DO the French love Jerry Lewis and the Germans heart David Hasselhoff? Who knows? But many do and more power to ‘em. With that in mind, if you don’t ‘lesbian-based show compelling or even necessary television’ then don’t watch it. Obviously others do. And, it doesn’t make you homophobic; it just makes your post here an unnecessary waste of your time (not meant to be snarky, btw). I, and thousands of others, DO like this show (at least this season) and DO find it to be compelling, which is why it has been renewed for a 5th season. So, were just like the Hasselhoff-luvin’ Germans. Oh, and I didn’t ever particularly like “Queer as Folk”, but I fully understand and respect those who do. I just chose not to watch after a while or tell others who did like the show that (I felt) they were wrong. Peace.

somebody said, everyone complains, but we are still watching… I’ve been thinking that I kind of feel obligated to watch this show.. Its not that I really like it, or think it is an excellent series like Six Feet Under and many other examples.. I like it sometimes, it has its funny moments.. but mostly I think I feel obligated because I am lesbian and it is one of the only shows to portray that in any way… I keep hoping that it will be better than it is. The sense of direction hasn’t been there throughout, and that is disappointing. Too bad this season isn’t its first.

If there is anything worse than Jenny, it would be Jenny with a pet monkey! I can’t believe that innane dinner conversation about straight women prefering horses to monkeys. As a lesbian, I always wanted a horse and really dislike monkeys.
I really like the Jodi character and Cybill Shephard’s character. They have really improved the season. I can understand Bette getting upset at her sister falling off the wagon and Jodi was correct in calling Bette a control freak.
As far as Kristanna Loken not getting along with her castmates, I didn’t even know who Loken was! In that link she said the “L-Word” was “the most difficult cast” she has worked with. What other casts has she worked with?

Phantom: No harm, no foul. We’re all good.
Kristanna Loken is also coming up in Painkiller Jane on the SciFi Channel. I’ll miss her on L Word and am sorry she’s not returning next season. She’s hella sexy and a surprisingly good actress in a roll about as far from what she’s been thus far tapped to do – action chick.
And to all below who bemoaned relentless Tudors promos on ShowTime: AMEN! Uhg! It wouldn’t be nearly as bad if they’d started the continuous promotions in mid-Feb or even early March but they’ve been going on since around January (perhaps before? I only get ShowTime for L Word) and are maddening. Are the same people responsible for these promos also the ones behind the sledgehammer techniques NBC used for The Black Donnelley’s? Because those were also very off-putting. I refuse to watch both shows simply because the assault has been too great. No one wants to date the desperate girl.

i think Jodi was acting mean & self centered. I’m no big fan of Bette but she did try really hard to make Jodi comfortable. I’m nowhere near deaf but do have some trouble hearing & i always appreciate when someone repeats what I may have missed.
