Teen drama Skins is the BBC’s most buzz-worthy property since AbFab. The Season With the Lesbian Storyline, starring Emily & Naomi is coming to Australian and US teevees this year. Crystal recaps The Lesbian Parts of Skins for you — this here is part one.

Glee, Modern Family, Community, The Fall Television Gay Conspiracy, Beautiful Life, THREE RIVERS (why shane, why?), Stargate Universe, More Fall Television excitement than anyone CAN POSSIBLY HANDLE!, Spartacus, and so much more!

Glee Drinking Game … and tonight, the GLEE LIVEBLOG OF THE CENTURY

#1 thing we don’t understand about America: the enduring success of Two and a Half Men, CBS’s “guy-com” starring Charlie Sheen and John Cryer. Perhaps recapping it will enhance our viewing experience.

Skins is racy, sexy, risky and hot hot hot. So their edgy lesbian storyline is no surprise to its British viewers. Now Season 3 is airing in the U.S., and Crystal’s here with her second installment of Naomi & Emily’s lesbian storyline recap!

We asked you to tell us what you want to see on The L Word’s new reality spinoff — here’s your answers, from sippy cups to Betty to crack in the writer’s meetings … !

Patrick Swayze died! But Glee is great still, Alex talks about the VMAs, and Tinkerbell shares with you about important social issues of our time.

Shark Week! Also: Drop Dead Diva, True Blood, Deadly Waters, Intervention (by Tinkerbell), Nurse Jackie, The Colony, My Life on the D-List and Weeds! And our Hot Girl is our So You Think You Can Dance endorsement.

Evan Rachel Wood will be a blood-sucking lesbian, maybe. Ted Kennedy sponsored a number of LGBT and human rights bills. Tori Amos has feelings about Lady Gaga.

“You have to break the shell, be okay with who you are regardless of the cameras and know that there’s someone out there who’s gonna relate to you. There’s no character space so if you’re not yourself that shuts off the whole reason for reality TV. Especially when it’s something about lesbians — that’s for everyone, even for gay boys, we’re fighting for visibility.”

The entire team pitches in to recap True Blood, Ten Things I Hate About You, Masterchef Australia, Intervention, Nurse Jackie, Weeds, Gimme Sugar, Ruby Rose’s new project “The 7 PM Project,”

“Vampire sex on the bloody deathbed of a flapper wannabe who is still gushing from her neck?! This is why I watch this show, Allan! Thank you!” (and also: Nurse Jackie, Weeds, My Life on the D List, Intervention, Drop Dead Diva, 10 Things I Hate About You, Better off Ted, and TWO Hot Girls of the week)

If you forget the whole child-rape-flashback thing, the Papa Porter dying thing, the Helena-wasting-time-Tina-could-be-with-Bette thing, the paper-dolls/Baruch Atah LaLa Hoolehay Heeyhoooo thing, the Marc pantsing himself thing (when he really should just write “fuck me” on his chest) and the Jenny/Random Elder thing, Loud and Proud is one of the series’ best episodes. Let me rephrase this: if “The L Word” was “The Dana & Alice Show,” Loud and Proud would be one of THAT show’s best episodes.

Updates on Jennifer Beals, Laurel Holloman, Kate Moennig, Mia Kirshner, Leisha Hailey, Rachel Shelley, Janina Gavankar, Elizabeth Keener, Marlee Matlin, Lauren lee Smith, Holland Taylor, Clementine Ford, Rose Rollins, Erin Daniels, The L Word Movie and more! Also, where’s JAMES? Why’s everyone pregnant?

“We’ll comb desperately and hungrily through minutes upon minutes of storylines we don’t care about on shows we’ve never seen before — aliens! middle schoolers! telenovelas! big brother 10! — to reach the two-minute morsel we care about more than we probably should: the holy grail of promised homosexual content.”

“Living here and having grown up here you almost forget it’s so different. I never had to worry about walking down the street with my girlfriend holding my hand. And if this show — if me coming out — helps one person, then it was worth it.”

“As your resident Australian girl-on-girl, I feel it’s my obligation to update you on the most important thing to ever happen in the history of Lesbians in Australia (since the birth of Portia De Rossi): the torrid affair between Charlie and Joey.”

Susan Miller is kind of awesome, and so is her new webseries Anyone But Me. Get the scoop with the Autostraddle interview.

“I had to to my best to serve the story, but the final season just didn’t do these women justice. It should’ve been a celebration of love and friendship.”

Remember when times were simpler? Harken back–before Dana died, before Betty existed–and maybe you’ll remember the line that started it all, the line that called to us like a siren in the distance: “Bette. Come Here. I’m Ovulating.”
