LOVE the adele storyline.. my GF thinks someone is going to die.. she thinks Adele is going to kill either Jenny or Niki.. I don’t know about that, but it is an interesting thought.. i hope not though! I LIKE crazy Jenny and I even laughed at the “My pu**y hurts” line!
Did like the campfire/cheating scene. Lord, Tina can speak with her eyes.. Bette too..
And last of all.. the bike ride theme? STOLEN FROM QUEER AS FOLK! (a way better show)

Bloggers, what are you talking about saying you don’t like Paige? She was the sexiest woman to hit this show yet! Molly? Blech. What kind of crazy power does Cybill Shepherd HAVE over this show?
Nicholas was funny in his recaps, but Jennifer is right, really.. and EW the actually magazine even had an article a couple issues ago.. this show IS bad.. writing, storylines, acting, continuity.. all those things that some of you blogging DO know. But yes, we will still watch, to support lesbian and work, and sometimes cuz everyone wants to watch a train wreck..
I actually even cried during the Dana remembrance.. probably in part because the show was great back then, and she was such a funny character. Bad move killing her off and giving us stupid characters in exchange. I will only even own the first first two seasons of this show.
Alice and Tasha: I think they will last. and golly gee Tasha has the damn cutest laugh I have ever heard!

I’m totally agree with this critic.
“Seriously, these reviews are all too cynical.”
I didn’t know that saying the truth is been “cynical”. This show is lack of good writing, but this season is the worst. 80% of this season is just crap just to get the 6th S. It’s not fear for the Lesbian community, this is the first show which should represent them better. But this season is just reference from other shows or movies. Nothing original,mediocre acting, mediocre story lines. Sorry but i don’t get the Shane and “10 seconds Molly” chemistry. I’m a Sharmen’s fan and i really hope that they finish together. Shane doesn’t deserve Carmen but my gosh that chemistry burned my tv. Not even straight couples make my heart to go so fast the way they did, considering that Sarah Shahi didn’t show her whole naked body …man she is a good actress.I know that Sarah does not want to come back but why they left the door open.They should make them fight 10Ep. before the wedding.
Please excuse my English

I love Tasha and Alice together. They have a really sweet chemistry. And Tasha smiles and is so much happier when she’s with Alice. It’ll be good for her to realize how much more she has now that she’s not having to hide who she is and who she loves.
Alice was definitely a little jealous when she met Tasha’s friends and Tasha LOVED it. She just laughed at Alice in the most comfortable way.

To whomever called out the Shane/Alice/Tina simultaneous swig after Shane’s “I never saw this coming” line – thank you! That was my favorite part too. Had to watch it again. I was amazed at the intensity of the scene when Bette is being called out on her cheating at the campfire and Jodi’s realization of the situation. You knew it was going to hurt when it all went down, but Bette and Tina’s declaration of love for each other and Bette’s lost soul on the dock were perfection for me. Hooray for a mini-6th season!

I guess again I am the minority and like Alice & Tasha together. But I can tell they will not last because Tash does not know what to do now she is out of the military and I think she wanted to see her old friends but Alice wanted to stay with hers (I smell conflict coming). Sorry, but not a Bette & Tina (a wuss)fan but since next season is the last it would be nice they get back together or at least finally decide they are better off alone, friends and co-parents. I felt so sorry for Jodie. Dying to know what Adele has up her sleeve(btw,I have bangs too now). Looks like Niki has the hots for Shane. Funny scene when Shane & Alice went into Tinas tent & Alice said wow, I never saw you & Bette hooking up again and all three took a drink from their beers…LOL However, I do agree with most of the bloggers who said this Popwatch could be so much better. Ugly Bettys recaps(I miss that show) are 2 pages. Even ANTM and that is a reality show!

ICAM about Bette & Tina being the heart of the show. I’ve said it before and who am I not to repeat myself (as we saw in my multi-post snafu further down on the board). They are the Ross and Rachel of the show. You always knew they would end up together…no matter how many Monas, Emilys, Julies, Tags or Paulos were in the picture.

While I think each core cast member brings something to the show, Bette and Tina have always been the heart and soul of this show for me. Yes, tlw is a lesbian show. It’s eye-opening, provacative, funny and at times, over the top. But at the end of the day it’s really about the relationships between people and the challenges we face. Bette and tina are two intelligent, beautiful, insightful and probably most importantly, flawed people. And I think the flaws are what we identify with – it makes them seem real. They are just two people who love each other and are trying to be happy together. With all the challenges we have in our lives, God knows it ain’t always easy to share a life with someone!
Alice and Tasha – moving in together? Really? Does anyone else think Nikki is gonna make a play for Shane?

I’m glad i’m not the only one who rewatched the episode…I agree…the whole AP gay, graduate gay, doctorate gay was kinda funny…and props to Pam grier…she was kinda funny yelling at bette in the tent after the Jodi blow up. Plus, anytime Tina has to deal with Jenny or Nikki generally is amusing…
