Anyhoo, The MANgus eventually tires of Bette's new books,
thanks Kit for the food and says bye.
Which gives Kit an excellent opportunity to check out his "small and tight"
ass as he leaves.
Bette catches her staring after him and brings her back to the here and now
with a "KIT!"
Her sister blushes and acts suitably embarrassed, but does confess, "He is
one cute man!"
"You are sooooo bad" says Bette in response, and it's back to the easy
sisterly relationship we've come to know and love over the last 3 seasons.
Cut to: The doors to the Mines of Moria being opened by Gandalf and the
Hobbits.
Oh. Sorry. My mistake.
It's Helena opening the huge doors to one of the studio buildings with Tina
following along behind her.
(Drat! Now I've got the image of Helena as Gandalf and Tina as a hobbit in
my head! Stoopid imagination!)
"I've decided I'm going to have much more of a presence here. I don't know
anything about the film industry, but I know we can do better than we have
been."
Amen Helena! Oh, sorry, you WEREN'T talking about the lesbian film industry
there were you. Damn!
Helena goes on to inform Tina that "Peabody" also own a few darn good
publishing houses, and goes on to list the great authors on their books.
Tina, quite rightly (cause she's a clever old stick!) says that Helena
should mine all those publishing houses for great scripts for movies etc.
Helena agrees, and you can see in her eyes she's thinking - "My psychic was
RIGHT! She's a genius! She's the one for the business!"
She gets out of her directors chair and goes for it - asking Tina if she
wants a job working for her. WITH her.
She even says Tina would have pretty much free reign with how she does
things!
Tina, unsurprisingly, is pretty shocked at the offer, but doesn't say no
straight away....
Cut to: Shane, bringing in the last of Jenny and Moira's luggage.
She dumps it beside the sofa then flops down onto same, acting like she's
just done an hour on a chain gang! lol!
In comes Carmen, then Moira, who grabs the huge bag Shane is laying against.
"Scuse me there buddy!" she says, lugging the bag, "I'm just gonna move some
of these bags into our bedroom..."
Shane, spurred back into action by the removal of her bag-pillow, jumps up
and offers help.
But it's fine. Moira The UltraButch has it allllll under control!
As soon as she disappears with the bags, Carmen is aghast at Shane, " 'OUR'
bedroom?!" she questions.
"Don't look at me!" replies Shane. Obviously Jenny told neither of them that
Moira The UltraButch would be moving in, and NOT just coming down to visit!
"Don't you wanna find out?!" asks Carmen, wanting to know if Moira The
UltraButch will indeed be their new housemate.
"It's Jenny's house..." says Shane, non-commitally.
And here I shall pause, for a long overdue bit of Bardic nit-picking.
Jenny - she of the beloved weirdness - has been absent for a good six months
and whilst away, has been in no fit state to be paying rent.
Before that, she was stripping (presumably for a living) and as far as I
know, hasn't had any other paying jobs in-between.
Shane, the hairdresser, is rarely ever seen at work.
Sooooo, just HOW in the name of reality, is the lease on their house ever,
EVER paid!
Oh. Yeah. I forgot.
They live in the la la land of television, where people don't go to work and
yet can afford to live in houses and apartments that even Donald Trump would
be hard-pushed to shell out for every month.
*yawn*
Anyhoo, back in the land of the lesbians, Carmen is still a bit miffed that
they weren't consulted over Moira The UltraButch coming to live with them.
Shane says maybe Jenny will mention it over dinner, and Carmen has another
little mini-miff about the fact that Moira would be coming to Jenny's
welcome-home meal.
It's not hard to see Carmen has a little problem with Moira.
I've heard a lot of people talking about Carmen being a bitch and a
so-and-so over Moira, and I was thinking a lot about that since watching
this episode.
I think it comes down to the lack of acceptance as a whole that we, as a
society, and us, in particular, as gay women show to others.
I could write a whole diatribe about this, but basically we just don't
like 'otherness'. It makes us uncomfortable.
I myself, always try so hard to be accepting and open-minded of others,
especially in the gay community, but even I have found myself pointing
surreptitiously to a stone butch with a severe haircut in the street and
rolling my eyes.
Human beings are a funny old race.
Just because Carmen is gay, does not, unfortunately mean that she'll welcome
any other gay person with open arms, JUST because they are also gay.
We all have our 'standards' and averages that we go through life measuring
things by.
Before this season, and the introduction of Moira, I'd have said that Shane
was probably one of the butchest characters I'd ever seen on tv.
But compared to Moira, Shane is almost bordering on femme! lol!
So, forgive, if you can, Carmen's faux pas in her attitude towards Moira.
Think to yourself, "what would I do or say if my best friend bought home a
woman like Moira? - would I be totally cool with it? would I be 100%
accepting of her? or would I criticize her behind her back and to others
etc?"
If you are 110% honest with yourself, you'd be surprised at what answers
you'd come up with to those questions.
And, as if to punctuate my point about this, and to rub salt into this jokey
wound, Moira The UltraButch then comes back in and plonks a jar down on the
table between where Carmen and Shane are sitting.
"I bought you a present from Colorado!" beams Moira, as she takes the lid
off the jar of COWS BALLS.
She takes one, pops it in her mouth and starts chewing, causing me to nearly
lose my lunch.
I've got to say, if Moira were any more butch, Shane would have to go put
that dress back on from last week and start doing housework ;-)
(btw, nitpicking again - shouldn't that be a jar of 'bull's balls'? LOL! Or
are the hefers all UltraButch in Colorado too!?)
Cut to: Alice doing her radio show.
If any of you think Alice's radio voice is a bit weird and un-Alice-esque,
well don't worry.
I used to do my own show on hospital radio, and your voice does tend to go a
bit 'sexy-cheesey' when you're talking on air.
I've no idea why though! lol! ;-)
"Today on The Chart we're talking about how do you end a vicious cycle.
Oh, and for those of you out there in radioland who are sick of hearing me
rant about my ex, Dana, you'll be happy to know this is not about HER...."
While she's talking, we see several shots of her toying with all the bottles
of pills and meds on the desk she's been taking since their breakup.
She goes on about medication etc, and then says, "why don't we start with
the very first anti-depressant I tried?...."
She opens said bottle and pours out a bunch of pills, then we see a cut to a
flashback!
It's Lara getting out of a car and being greeted by Dana, then they walk off
into a restaurant.
In voiceover we hear that THOSE pills made Alice "just a little intense",
and we see her creeping up to Lara's car, waiting till the they can't see
her, then slashing her tyre!
Blimey!
