Gotta say, I'm LOVING the feedback folks! Keep it comin'!
;-)
Btw, to all those who have moaned about how their favourite couples aren't
happy/aren't together anymore/seem on the verge of breaking up etc etc, you
gotta try to remember, The L Word is a TV show, which is a drama/comedy etc.
For ANY TV show to work, there has to be conflict.
Imagine how dull it would be if EVERYONE on the show was happy ALL the time
and NO ONE ever argued or slit up or got with someone new or changed jobs or
whatever!!!
BIG FAT YAWN! lol!
Unfortunately, you have to understand that in ANY long-running TV show, even
the happiest of character/s is gonna go through some trauma or other at some
point. Otherwise there couldn't be a show!
And I know - just KNOW - some of you out there in viewer land are whining
now, going ' well sure, but couldn't they just leave so-and-so alone to be
happy!' or 'nooooo, I want so-and-so to stay with thingy!!!!', well, in the
end, you may just get your wish!
Or, you may just get a big 'ole pile of lesbian dramarama angst.
After all, there is never any certainty in life, no matter how much which
wish there were.
The best advice I can offer you, is to buckle up tight, keep some tissues at
hand just in case, and cross as many fingers as you can between now and the
end of the season.
I've a feeling it's going to be a bumpy ride.......
Fade up on:
PREVIOUSLY ON THE L WORD:
Jenny burns her manuscript - hurrah!
Moira comes back, confused - awwww!
Shane urges Carmen to do her DJ gig - YAY!
Kit tries to resist her MANgus - BOOOO!
Bette asks Tina if she still cares - YIKES!
Helena swoons under the Dylan influence - YUM!
Dana wins her match - *the crowd goes wild!*
Dana tries to put a brave face on things - bless.....
Fade up on:
'Fairfax, Virginia - 1985'
A car with a flat (tyre) pulls up at a roadside garage.
Out from the garage comes a gay man's wet dream:
blue jeans
red vest T
straw cowboy hat
lean arms smeared with oil
greasy rag in hand
yes, it's MR GAY COWBOY 1985!
*suddenly questions whether we've flicked accidentally from The L Word to
Queer As Folk*
The driver with the flat tire turns out to be Frank.
Remember him from 'the chart' bit at the beginning of last week?
No? Aw c'mon! You remember! 'Mr Former Homosexual'????
THERE you go...... ;-)
Anyhoo, Frank is on his (brick of an 80's mobile/cell) still preaching to
someone on the other end of it about "freedom from
homosexuality...through.....the church" etc etc blah de blah de blah.
As soon as Mr Gay Cowboy comes around the car, tips his hat and asks "Can I
help you?", Frank gets a bit stuttery and has to excuse himself from the
phone call.
Ahhh Frank, I'm thinking you are probably QUITE weak of the flesh, aren't ya
hun.
Frank gets out of his car - and btw, for the 'fleet of eye' of you out there
in viewer land, yes, the sign behind his head DID read:
"QUEEN'S HOTEL"
*"get a room!" - nudge nudge, wink wink*
- and the rest of this piece is pretty basic.
Put it this way, if I say to you that Frank goes into the garage to pick a
tyre with Mr Gay Cowboy, I'm sure you won't be too shocked to find out that
pretty soon thereafter, Frank is down on his knees giving Mr Gay Cowboy a
rather nice blowjob.
Oh and btw, 'the chart' crawly line tells us that the guy Frank is sucking
off is called 'Coleman'.
Y'know, I bet, in a million years, if I got a million flat tyres, I'd never
ever EVER pull up outside a garage and be greeted by Ms Gay Cowgirl.
And, I'd bet my entire Melissa Etheridge memorabilia collection (including
cds!) that even if I was, I damn well wouldn't get to know Ms Gay Cowgirl
straight away in the 'biblical' sense, like Frank and Coleman!
Maybe it's a gay guy thing.
Or maybe it's just an unlucky Sci-Fi Bard thing....
;-)

OPENING TITLES:
C'mon, sing along ladies!
(oooh look, there's Alice and Dana done up like drag queens on a motorbike!)
"Annnnnnnd loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove!"
