Once again, thanks to all the lovely and sparkly people who take the time to
write to me about these reviewcaps!
I always love to hear what ya'll think, what country you're from (I had
someone write to me from Bangkok, Thailand + Costa Rica in South America the
other day! Wowsers! *g*) and anything else you'd like to tell me, so keep
those emails coming folks!
After watching episode 4 (and 5 - but more about that in the next
reviewcap....) I have to say our fave lesbian show IS changing.
Whether it's for the better or the worse, I'll let you decide, but in the
meantime, ON with episode 4!
Fade up on:
PREVIOUSLY ON THE L WORD:
Shane sets out her stall at 'Wax'
Alice gets reprimanded for mentioning Dana so much on her radio show.
Bette fumes after losing the N.E.A. grant.
Tina worries more about money.
Helena gets advice from her psychic.
Tina tells Bette about Helena's job offer.
Shane and Carmen meet Moira.
Angus The MANgus meets Kit.
Kit fancies The MANgus.
Dana's doctor sends her for a biopsy.
Moira doesn't fit in at dinner, so leaves abruptly to go sob on a hill
somewheres.
Fade up on:
A group session somewhere.
By the looks of how everyone is dressed and their hairstyles, I'd say it's
in the 80's.
People sit in a circle while some guy goes on about "Living your life
against god's will is like throwing yourself into the eternal fire of Hell's
damnation...."
Ooooh looky! There's the legend:
'Billings, Montana - 1984'
See! What did I tell ya! I had those fashions and hairdo's pegged NO
problem! ;-)
Mind you, it IS kinda hard to miss a 1980's hairstyle, what with ALL the
cans of hairspray used to keep them in place.
"....is that what you want sister?
I'm a former homosexual who found Jesus - have faith...."
The guy is talking to the woman who's hairdo I pegged as from the 80's! She
looks all concerned and earnest.
Then SUDDENLY we see her naked, in bed, saying: "But isn't this WORSE?"
The camera pans out to reveal she's in bed with another woman, and the guy
talking to her about being "a former homosexual" is naked too, and walking
towards the bed!
Aha! The old 'three-way' or 'threesome'.
Mr 'Former Homosexual' sits on the bed and says, "Jesus hates the sin
between two men, much more than that between two women" (yeah, right! You
sex-crazed pervy Jesus-freak!)
The two women look at each other and we get a LOVELY shot of Mr 'Former
Homosexual's naked ass (blech! - although it IS quite pert) as he gets into
bed with them.
"It's better than Hell's fire....I promise you" states the other woman
cheekily, as the thin white line crawls across the screen the same as last
week.
It's THEN that I realise 80's Hairdo Woman is the one who 'played' with the
nun at the beginning of last week's episode!
And sure enough, the white line runs through the name "Agatha" as the women
start kissing.
Mr 'Former Homosexual' scoots in closer to 80's Hairdo Woman and the thin
white line goes on to the name 'Frank'.
Ah, so Mr 'Former Homosexual' is Frank.
*yawn*
Get back to the lesbians kissing pur-leeeease.
The camera pans down the bed as Frank starts kissing Agathas shoulder and we
get a weird shot of paper on fire (wha?!) then:
OPENING TITLES!
"this is the way that we, way that we liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive
and loooooooooooooooooooooooove!"
Fade up on:
A manuscript being burnt.
For those anal enough to want to know EXACTLY what it is, it's entitled:
'SOME OF HER PARTS'
by
Jennifer Schecter.
eep! It's Jenny's novel! RUN for the hills folks!!!
(And for those of you 'extremely' anal people out there, without pause
buttons, the address on the manuscript is:
Jennifer Schecter
15151 N. Genesee Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90004
818-555-1921
So, presumably, that's the name of the street where Bette and Tina, Jenny
and Shane etc live in the show.
HOWEVER, before you all start writing off your fan mail, please don't
forget:
THIS IS A FICTIONAL SHOW!
Ergo, the address will no doubt be utterly fake and not exist in the real
world.
And even if it did, there's probably some old guy named Earl living there
and he certainly wouldn't appreciate a bunch of rabid lesbians asking for
signed photos of their fave stars etc. So do me a favour and don't write to
Jenny, k? ;-)
Anyhoo, yes, Jenny is indeed burning her manuscript.
"ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO!" I hear legions of viewers cry.
"Hope you backed that up on your hard-drive" states Moira, standing behind
her.
Jenny whirls round and immediately asks "where the fuck were YOU?!"
(remember she went off in a huff at the end of last week's ep cause nobody
seemed to like her at Jenny's dinner.....)
"I was hanging out at the beach" says Moira.
Sure you were honey.
Jenny keeps piling the pages onto her little literary backyard bonfire as
Moira tells her that she doesn't know what she's doing in L.A., or who she
really is etc etc
Jenny cuts her off though:
"NOBODY knows who they are...
y'know, that's what life is about....
you walk through life and you try to figure it out and you probably wont
figure it out..."
Blimey. Jenny being philosophical and yet NOT arty OR pretentious?!
*looks outside to see if there's blue snow falling*
Moira thinks that Jenny knows herself pretty well, but Ms Schecter rebuffs
her with:
"Absolutely. I'm the PICTURE of togetherness and sanity..."
errrr......
