The L word - Episode 205 - "Labyrinth"

....I actually saw the latest installment of the L-word on Monday evening, but it has taken me this long to recover from the appalling turn of events - ANOTHER "Monstrosity" Jenny Dream-writing sequence - Thus week, featuring - "The pig-face people go to the carnival" I was hoping, that seeing the "Jenny" character get shot in the heart during a "tragic" shooting-gallery mishap, would mean the end to these artsy nightmare cinematics.....But once again I am sadly mistaken. I just hope all this is going somewhere - I am going to need some closure soon.
There is in fact a positive spin in our difficult relationship with Jenny Schecter ...Her new haircut is a success! It has in fact, given her a new lease on life and she looks hellava lot more appealing (to me at least).
I was very pleased to witness Dana and Alice finally get down to some carpet-burn lovin' on the very eve of Dana and Tonya's bachlorette party. It was all really well orchestrated and quite amusing, but still sexy-as-hell. As far as lesbo sex scenes go - I give it Two Fingers Up! The one thing that drives me batty is how Dana just jumps right back in with Toxic-Tonya Lickity split....Its really hurting my poor girl Alice and I can't bear to see it go on much longer.......
Things are going disturbingly wrong at Shane and Jenny's Love shack....It seems the dick-snack, Ethan Hawke-lookalike, roommate Mark has decided to set up hidden cameras all over the house - including bedrooms. I don't like where this story-line is heading and I just hope that the girls find out sooner rather than later of their reluctant porn-star status. Just throw another suitcase of trust-issues on Shane's mysterious emotional baggage-cart. Then again, knowing Jenny....she may very well embrace this new found sport of exibitionism.
So that leaves the Bette and Tina soap opera. Things started to look-up for our favorite "married" couple, but cue the ravenous Helena Peabody who might in fact inject a little charisma and spice into perpetual background floater - Tina Kennard. I'm not sure what Ms. Peabody has up her sleeve but I have a sneaking suspicion that she will be giving "T" her own private Lamaze class, if you know what I mean. Bette is not enthralled by this new turn of events, in fact, she's downright despondent, thus making my attraction to her from last season wane as the episodes pass and her penchant for temper tantrums grow. (Oh Bette...For the love of god take your head out of your ass.....)
