(like something went wrong with the design on the computer..? I don't know about this stuff, someone go get Max..). Took me a while to understand she said "Paige era". Anyway, I realise I'm commenting on a recap that's over two years old, but just making my way through the last season now, and all I can say is thank god team AS got here first.. haha when Jenny first held up that t-shirt I thought she said “this is from that horrible page error,” as in, like, the t-shirt hadn’t printed properly or something..

I love her. I wish Tina and Bette took her home to live with them for the duration of her pregnancy. That way Ilene could rip off something else AND produce another suspect (RIP Jenny). <br/><br/>Really glad to hear that the next episode is in the hands of Angela Robinson.<br/><br/>Go Canadian accents! They're so cute sounding. So turns out that Marcie was played by Katherine Isabelle. I love her. I wish Tina and Bette took her home to live with them for the duration of her pregnancy.

Really glad to hear that the next episode is in the hands of Angela Robinson.

Go Canadian accents! They’re so cute sounding.

BAD NEWS!

One half of this season’s episodes (4 eps) were written be Ilene. *puke* Which means we have more one-sided phone conversations, “telling” instead of “showing”, and bizarre character actions to [not] look forward to.

GOOD NEWS!

Next week’s episode probably won’t suck so hard — it was written AND directed by Angela Robinson. Woo-Hoo!

p.s. someone should tell ilene that just having someone talking on their cell phone doesn’t make it interesting a la Angela Robinson’s lesbian phone tree or the more recent Jenny/Shane phone gossip.

AND THEN... Shane says: "This is my home, Jenny. For the first time, I actually have a room of my own. That's a huge thing for me."<br/><br/>OK! It was heartwarming, and I love both of them in 211. It was way back before when everything started to suck, and I know that is stating the obvious. But really. Compare that scene with the scene of Jenny fucking Shane's day up and moving her shit out of her room! HER OWN ROOM!<br/><br/>I know that these are somewhat minute details and that perhaps if I hadn't watched these two episodes back to back I wouldn't be so mad, but whhyyyyy is it so hard for there to be some hindsight and perspective in this stupid show. WHYY?!?!?!?<br/><br/>The best shows are the ones that bring stuff back around (see "Arrested Development" for details). That way, the show rewards its loyal viewers who get the jokes and the heartwarming, comforting, and maybe a little pathetic feeling that they truly know and understand these fictional characters.<br/><br/>ARGHHHH!!!<br/><br/>also ps. Probs not saying anything new but: Kate French was on "Gossip Girl" tonight, and Nadia or Natia or whatever Bette's TA's name was in season 4 is a lesbo on "Grey's Anat." Just keeping tabs :) I had just watched “Loud and Proud” from Season 2 before watching 604 and I have a perfect example of why this show makes me want to kill myself:
