The L Word 5×4 Let’s get this party started
The fourth episode, one third of the season has been shown. I can’t believe it! It is going so fast and so much has happened. We met new characters, said our goodbye’s to some old characters.
MAYOR spoiler warning!
Tina Kennard and Jenny Shekter
This movie, I wonder if it ever gets done. Really all you hear and see about it is a lot of bitching about the writing, the concept, the sex scenes and the actresses who might or might not become part of ‘Lez Girls’. Every time these two women get into one room you are guaranteed to see them bitching at each other. We’ll see what really comes of this whole project.
I really liked Adele’s action in Shebar! She is sneaky, but funny. Though her character is weird, she fits Jenny. I am curious to see what happens there. Really I am, and yes I know that involves Jenny.
Self defense is the best way
One of the first scenes was in the gym during the self defense classes. It was funny, although Jenny was getting pretty annoying again. But oh wait she always is! The way she was hitting Tina … I don’t know who she was trying to scare away with those weak blows but she really was not even trying. She was being totally childish again.
It was funny though to see that all of the sudden Bette was standing behind Tina instead of behind Jodi. That was totally funny to see. An the looks that Shane gave to that well toned trainer, priceless.
Shane McKutcheon
Was this really the first three way involving Shane? I read a comment about that, I was actually really surprised to hear that. And thinking about it, that is true … unbelievable. Sex addict Shane had never done that before. At least we know one thing for sure, she definitely has her groove back. And that was a pretty hot scene!
Alice Pieszecki
Oh my God! Poor Alice, really I felt so sorry and I could totally understand that she felt violated by those Army men. Seriously can they do that? The way they did I mean? That was horrible, it is almost as if you are watching people who are breaking into your house going through your belongings while you are watching.
It is sad though to see that she erased the chart, that is where a lot of this show started. It has been used so many times and I know that there is one on the internet now but still that wall had a pretty prominent place in that apartment. And I will miss it … weird to miss something that seems so unimportant it is after all just a chart written down on a wall. Showing the sex life of a bunch of women…
Tasha Williams
Tasha, the more I see her the more I like her. She is an awesome addition to the show. Her storyline is quickly becoming one of the more important storylines. In fact it is one of the top issues when it comes to gay rights. At least I think it is, just like gay marriages and gay parenting. These people are considered good enough to defend their county in a time of need, but when they are openly gay they all of the sudden get shoved aside as if they don’t matter at all. That is so bigoted!
When Tasha went to Beech’ house and told him what she thought of him and his methods as well as the army methods and the turn around that he made was awesome. His wife had a huge influence of course that much was obvious. And in a way what she did kind of was the same as the Army men did to Alice but she did not cross the line by going into his house questioning everything that she saw in there. It was good to see that after that he came to her.
Jodi Lerner and Bette Porter
The scene where Bette called Jodi into her office for that rant about what happened in the class was again one that showed what a different way of thinking and viewing of the world they have. But I guess that part of that has to do with the job that Bette has of course she is responsible for what happens at the school and should take action if someone claims that he is going to kill himself in front of a class full of students even if the ‘gun’ turns out to be fake. Those kind of things can traumatize people. And she is right especially with Columbine and Vtech still fresh in our memories. I think that they are breaking apart they seem to struggle more and more with each other.
Tina Kennard and Bette Porter
Even though I love Jodi and Bette together, mostly because I feel that Jodi challenges Bette to do things differently. And I loved Helena and Tina, I really did even with at that time Helena being a bitch to a lot of other people I always liked them together.
There are many couples in this show, but from the beginning I have been a TiBette shipper. I can’t put it any other way, I always liked them a lot. Probably because I liked the way they tried to live their live together, trying to have a baby, a family. I liked that, and I really hated it when things took a turn for the worst. The miscarriage, the cheating, the lying and eventually the break up. And well I have always said myself that if someone cheats on me I would never accept it and take them back but during the five years that this show is running you could see the love that they have for each other even when they are fighting. Or seeing other people … and this season it has been more obvious then ever before.
And I love it that things are turning around for them and they are finally finding each other back. But this course that they are taking now might change a lot for the show and in a way … it almost feels like something final. Don’t get me wrong I am ecstatic about this development. But if this is the way that they go, then Jodi might most likely become a character that disappears.
Going through the motions over the past few seasons and seeing this really long term strong relationship go down the drain completely. To the point where they are fighting, threatening and even a kidnapping basically doing everything to each other to stop the other person from being happy. And then back to a point where they can be relatively happy living with the other person in their live as a co-parent and a friend. It feels final for a television show to see this very passionate and loving kiss happen. It feels as if they are tying up the loose ends before episode 12 …
I am not trying to jinx anything, I really hope there will be a season 6 but right now at this moment I am not sure if there will be … And this really makes me want to look up spoilers and read everything I can but then the rest of the season won’t be fun anymore. So right now I am trying to refrain myself from doing just that.
