After another trip down ancient memory lane with Pops & Kit-Kat and Jenny & The Paper Dolls, we return to The Planet where Alice & Dana have made it to the tippy-tippy top of the Cute Mountain.
They smile and laugh and dance and everyone is gay and then Dana tells Alice that she loves her and Alice looks like happiness was invented to shine through her teeth lips and eyes, and she smiles with her whole body while music plays and they zoom out and life is perfect and beautiful.
I didn't remember this the first time around, but Jenny's rape flashback involves a carnival, some hay, and then randomly all the rabbis from Shul are playing cards in a platform tent? I really just don't know where these ideas come from, they cannot possibly just appear.
Then! Shane tells Carmen that she never had a hamster! And about foster care and the dead dog and her brother who's 9! Carmen looks at Shane tenderly/hotly and caresses her cheek, and it's so quiet and lovely.
The first time I saw this -- when it was actually on the air -- I remember when this scene happened 'cause we all had teary eyes (this was when I watched it with two of my besties from high school, not with my current motley crew of lunatic lesbian weirdos), and I was wondering how Sarah Shahi could be on The L Word and not turn at least a little bit lez and then I realized that the fact that I didn't understand how you could kiss another girl and not become gay is because I was possibly significantly gayer than I'd thought. (Does that sentence make sense? I should fix it in the morning.)
Well, times have changed. Now I can tell you that I had a hamster and her name was Picky-Pinky, but she died. You know what rhymes with died? PRIDE!
I just set a personal world record btw, I wrote that recap in two hours. And we still don't know who killed Jenny! Waa-waa.
If you want to have moments like this in your life, I'd suggest Rodeo Disco this weekend!
She won't necessarily be there, but lots of other pretty girls will.
You can buy tickets online 'til midnight Saturday the 27th! And you can buy raffle tickets online all weekend long, baby. You still have a shot at love with a girl who drank a lot of Tequila.
Lovely job adding an extra comedic touch to the best parts of the L Word!
