Catching up with The L Word
What a wonderful relaxing weekend. For once we didn’t have to visit anyone, buy anything or go anywhere. And people pretty much left us alone. Which meant we were able to spend hours cuddled in the bedroom watching DVDs. We were finally able to rent Season 4 of The L Word. Since I don’t have Showtime, we had to wait until it came out on video in order to watch it. If you haven’t watched it yet, then you should stop reading since the rest of this post contains spoilers.
First disappointment - they got rid of Carmen. Come on. She was cute, didn’t have bizarre issues like most of the other characters, and was quite a hottie to boot. They got rid of her and decided to replace her with some ghetto girl from the hood who acts worse than most of the cholos I see around LA. Can you see my eyes rolling? Please can we just have a normal character to keep the rest of the crazy cast grounded?
Second disappointment - Only 12 episodes? Come on! I feel cheated. I waited this long and the entire set didn’t even last us the weekend. Boo.
However I am quite glad they decided to cut down on the number of whacko head trips from Jenny’s demented mind. Seriously, I had to fast forward through too many of those last season. If I wanted artsy fartsy, I’d go to a freaking museum. It’s kinda cool sometimes when she says the things that everyone is thinking but is too polite to say, but her behavior is just inexplicable sometimes. So she’s now floating out in the open ocean without paddles (and likely without her mind as well). Will she disappear? One can only hope. But probably not. She’ll come back to civilization with some new epiphany and a new set of head trips to share with everyone. Ugh. Jenny, get a therapist already.
