There’s a lot of will they, won’t they? Until Finley hears her song ‘Closer’ by Tegan and Sara. So Sophie and Finley are hot and cold all night. We’ll have to see.Įrica OK, next up, we have our favorite chaotic trio of the show, Finley, Sophie and Dani. I think that Bette likes to be the power top. I don’t know if Bette would actually want that. And in many ways, Bette is sort of in the position of being more subordinate to Pippa, who is like doing her own thing. It will be interesting if they go down the Pipper Pascal route, what will happen? Because we know that Pippa will not take any shit. In many ways, Tina has always been kind of a doormat for Bette, and I feel like that’s what worked for her. And I don’t know if it’s that Bette truly wants someone who is subordinate to her in terms of career ambition or strong will. And we know that Jodie was sort of like the first person to really be a good match to Bette, as a good counterpart, to Bette’s sort of independent art boss vibe. Like Tina and her broke up when Tina started to work on films and started to do her own thing and wasn’t so tied to Bette.
I just don’t get why Bette gets like this all the time with women who are finally, like a good match with her power and independence and all of that. I mean, I wasn’t surprised that she dumped Gigi, but I was taken aback by her saying, like, I think you knew I needed more. She just dumped her in the bar.Įrica Yeah, I was like really taken aback. And so she really just did it in the bar. We asked our viewers on Twitter and Instagram this past week, do you think Bette is going to stop sucking? And you’re all like, nah, she’s a Scorpio, which as a fellow Scorpio, I’m sorry, but I agreed with you.
My favourite ship of the show, now completely gone. It was the least cringe karaoke scene in the episode, which we can talk about shortly. And and I have to say, and I don’t know if this is Jennifer Beals real voice, but damn, girl can sing.Įrica I love Leisha because she’s, of course, a musician in real life and she just fit the song so well, and Shane as like the dude from the B-52s was also super great. lesbians like, sing on stage was like, was a hoot. So that was a nice little throwback to see all of our favorite L.A.
#The real l word season 1 episode 6 full episode series#
Fun fact: for those of you who are OG ‘L Word’ fans, the B-52s appeared in the original series of ‘The L Word’ where they performed at the planet. And then, of course, she ends the episode going to Piper Pascal’s student art show because where else would she go? Chelle, to start, obviously, let’s talk about that karaoke scene. And then everything goes downhill because Bette just like dumps Gigi in the bar and tells her she needed more from a partner. Bette gets roped in by Alice and sort of Shane to do this very stellar rendition of the B-52s ‘Love Shack,’ which is great. OK, let’s recap, shall we? OK, so let’s start off this week with the lovely, maybe not so lovely Bette Porter. Sophie and Finley, Micah and Maribel, Dani and Gigi, Shane and Tess, Alice and Tom, all of these folks in their respective situationships are just making assumptions about how their crushes are feeling instead of just, you know, talking to each other about it.Įrica Honestly, the theme from last episode that I pointed out was communication and nobody learned their lesson.
Chelle, what did you take away from all of this?Ĭhelle Well, it seems like everyone is just jumping to conclusions. I think I’ve been pretty clear about that.Įrica This was a chaotic, nuts episode. Right? Is that what you want? Is that a joke? Of course that’s not what I want. And that may be the nerdiest thing you’ve said on this podcast, but I will let it slide.Ĭlip I could just feel the air sucked out of the room when I walked in. And I’m Chelle Turingan, managing producer at Xtra, and the music licensing budget this episode must have been huge! B-52s, Tegan and Sara, Sophie B. lesbians.Įrica I’m Erica Lenti, senior editor at Xtra, and I would actually love to see a story arc in which Dani is a competitive eater.Ĭhelle I’d like to see that too. Chelle This season, we’re once again watching ‘The L Word: Generation Q’ with you, bringing you our unfiltered take on the new series reboot every Tuesday, because we still can’t get enough of those L.A.
