We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" 5.10

This week, episode 10 of The L Word qualified as A Very Special Episode for several reasons: 1.) Memories of the dearly departed Dana were evoked when the girls rode for her in the Pink Ride 2.) Alice and Tasha decided to shack up 3.) Bette and Tina got themselves busted for their illicit affair (with a nice assist from Alice) 4.) Molly took a sexual plunge with Shane and 5.) Jenny and Niki got kinky with some sex toys and made a steamy "home movie."

The only down side is that afterwards I had this little jingle rolling through my head afterwards: "Strap-on, strap-off. Strap-on, strap-off, the strapper!" Is it weird that watching Jenny and Niki's sex antics this week made me think of the theme song for the indispensable sound activated electrical gadget known as The Clapper? Yeah, I guess it is.

Anyway, while our comedy sharp-shooter Dara is still MIA, we are joined on the enchanted sofa this week by Emmy award-winning writer Liz Feldman (Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show). Liz was a good sport who was all too willing to participate in an endless "athletic" montage and an ill-advised round of the party game "I Never" like the ones we saw on Episode 10 of The L Word. Unlike in The L Word, however, our episode of WGN didn't end in tears or a sex scandal in the making. (At least I hope it didn't!)

Whooo hooo!!

Whooo hooo!!

Great job again ladies.

LOL @ Jill asking such personal questions.

Karmz, you seemed a little quiet. Your working too hard, get some rest. You still brought it though.

Great guest.

;) Totally Agree with Liz

Although I love Mia Kirshner and her character Jenny I can't say that I like Nikki in any way shape or form.  Don't get me wrong, the scene was hot, it's just Jennifer Beals is way more believable which makes any sex scene with her 10 times hotter.

lucky day!

Sweeet...how was I so lucky to catch this as it's being posted?!

Dara, we miss you, however your sub was quite entertaining! Liz' timing and quick wit are brilliant (you know, for a DAYTIME emmy winner...)

Thanks again for another crazy recap!

And, for the record, I am only 6 minutes into this vlog and Liz has already made me laugh out loud more times than I can count. This woman is a genius!!

Another Great Vlog guys.

Another Great Vlog guys.

Liz is hilarious. The montage looked like loads of fun, though the poor cat looked like it was being violated from different angles.

BEST EXIT BY TINA YET!

haha love when Karmen says, "we are whores" at the deflowering a woman thing. LOL. 

Loved the debate about sex...haha

And jill I am so there with you about being basically killed at the doctors. I have pale skin also so i bruise easily. everytime i give blood it looks like i am a heroin addict myself.

Yay for pillow fights too!

And best ending ever to a video blog!!!

pale skin, bruises and karman

i also have very pale skin and when i get bruises they look so much worse than on other people. i even get bruises when i carry something heavy.
turned out my ferritin level is too low. i'm now taking pills to get more iron into my body. if the level is really low you can't fix it with eating red meat or liver *brrrr* so i really recommend going to a doctor. worst cases is feeling tired all the time because of the low oxygen transport in the blood and loosing your hair. yes, that happens sometimes.

great vlog. karman you are so yummy :)

strict machine's picture

bruises

i have had two recent blood tests, the first was fine but the other was awfull, i bruised so much, it hurt and i had huge bruises for weeks, not a good look. i think the nurse missed the vein but she was so super nice i forgive her.  not that this has anything to do with anything.  it just traumatised me.  im venting, sorry.

 

loved the vlog though.  i would marry the guestbian

Weird sensation

I had the contrast dye injection too over a year ago.  It feels so weird, my body felt really hot, a metallic taste came to my mouth and you also feel like you have just wet yourself, but you do not actually wet yourself.  A very weird sensation.  Jill, I hope all is well.  Great podcast, I find it very educational. Always look forward to watching every week.  Good job!

Teeth

Unfortunately, not everyone knows NOT to use teeth...Liz Feldman was correct about that.

Great vlog!

Hi ladies,

 I love your vlog from beginning to end. I couldn't help but notice that Jill rides her bike the same way she dances ;-)

Amylin's picture

Liz is a freacking genius!!!

I think Liz is now my favorite guest ever. Oh my god, she's so funny, i think i've never laughed so much at someone's jokes. Everything she said is a quotable quote!

I have a lot to say about that vlog, in terms of my opinion on all the subjects and scenes you talked about, so much to say actually that i will sum it up by saying this: whatever Jill said, that's what i think. And actually... it scared the sh*t out of me because usually i share a lot with that gorgeous lady, but this time was a bit much, i was like "STOP thinking that way, that's me". Never happened to me before, so well, that was weird and creepy... (i'm even OCD for the cleaning...)

About Tasha and Alice in the tent, i just wanted to say that I share Liz' theory, that's what i first thought when i watched the episode. Maybe i should be a writer ;-).

Childo (haha, didn't know that kind of toy existed), dildo and all, well yes Jill said it all, that was one of the best love scene ever in TLW, if not the best. I wish it had been between Jenny and Marina though, because Nikki is not my type too and while i do think Mia have some bi-curious vibes, the actress who plays Nikki on the other hand (don't know her name) looks very straight and unlike, J. Beals, i don't really believe her playing a lesbian most of the time... This scene was actually the first true sex scene with sex toys! (With Dana and Alice, we didn't see anything). How come?

Last but not least, the cheating. Karman and Jill are right. Thinking once is not cheating, thinking a lot about someone else can lead to cheating (or break-up when like me you're not a cheater) and yes it's all relative to your partner's rules and make sure you're on the same page.

[Edit] I feel silly with my long comment when everyone manages to say a lot in two lines... :-s

Phantom's picture

O.o This cooment overuses emoticons...

First thing's first - No Dara makes me saad... :(

But Liz Feldman is a good enough compensation... :P Kidding, she rocks! I read the brief bio above the video window after you guys mentioned the Emmys. I knew I recognised that humor and sense of comic timing from 'somewhere'. ^^ Would love to see her do standup, that's for sure.

Teehee, poor Luna in the montage. XD

Bestest quote? (gosh there were so many)
"...high risk of having breasts?"
(you don't shay... :3)

Thank you for making this miserable rainy day of mine so much less miserable. :)

Liz Feldman, Guestbian Extraordinnaire

I think cheating is physical. I could honestly - in fact I DO have mad desperate fantasies about people but I'd never act on them. it's not that I have great willpower, it's more the fear of being humiliated and rejected :)

On the light and fluffy side, hurray for Luna again! she's adorable with her paws over Jill's shoulder. Hurray also for Jill's adorable ears, Karman's really cute girly laugh, and does Karman have just the one dimple? I've never even noticed any dimples before. So, my third hurray for closeups!

And Liz Feldman is possibly my favourite guestbian, perhaps tied with Jane Lynch... though you guys could probably have had a cardboard cutout of Jane Lynch and I'd likely have the same response.

chloe121212's picture

Ahh see

I knew there was someone else who couldn't resist Jill's Ears.  Is there a Sexiest Ears Award we can give her or something?

"I don't kiss girls who wear doilies"

 

miss chatelaine's picture

oh absolutely!

I get excited when Jill tucks her hair behind one ear, it's so cute. Jill in the paperboy cap in 3way? adorable. But then again, I have a thing for the weirdest things.

Jill, show off your ears more! and now that I've found out about Karman's dimple(s) - Karman, give us more closeups!

boywithmoonandstars's picture

Girl?

The way Kit uses girl for so many things also reminded me of that commercial. Of course, in the grand comic tradition of thievery they stole the whole Dude thing from David Spade who used to do that bit even before he was on SNL. Excellent vlog, and I love how you have managed to get great guests time and again.
Hyperbole Cupid's picture

This was good!!!!

I watch this vloggg and it just gets better.I fine myself watching Karmen, either she is turning red or droping her head and you just know, what she is thinking,EDIT DAMIT. it's ok Karmen, relax( I heart her for this, poor thing). The Guestbains have been off the chart.I really liked Liz Feldmen and agree with her comment, that two bottoms usually don't do it for me ( yes I'm a top) but that scene, with Jenny and Nikki, (I have to give it to them) was HOTTT.Then there was Jill, Thanks for asking the hard question, they want to be on this Vlogggg, Make them work for it baby girl.I don't know what's wrong with some of my people but there is no way you should NEVER EVER, NEVER EVER, EVER leave bar along(unless that's what you want) it is a sin against Lesbains all over the world. I love the way you were able to tell us what was sore on Jenny, the belt shot was nice too.
Vee's picture

Accommodator?

First of all LIZ FELDMAN is hands down the best guestbian you ladies ever had. Hilarious and so damn cute <3

Jill were you referring to the Accommodator? I'd have to agree I'd see someone comign at me with that thing on their face and the mood would definitely fall flat ;)

Angela Robinson is a genius and thank the lord this show has her on board.

Awesome vlog ladies. Enjoyed it so much.

 

p.s: Jill I hope you get positive test results. I'll be thinking of you <3

shelleyc's picture

well this certainly was informative

Between Jill's opening segment about her MRI, the cheating discussion, and the various rounds of "I never", I think this was one of the best WGNs I've seen since I began watching this lovely vlog. Loved the bit about Double D and the rocket pack. Looking forward to Keener's return next weekon TLW.

Shelley C

We should all do a virtual round of I never.

Susi's picture

Awesome

You ladies never disappoint, and Liz was a great guestbian.

And how cute was Luna.

Connie's picture

Woah Buddy!

That was great and funny in a I might snort way, And Jill, you are like a sex fiend all those questions and going back to sex when you couldn't think of anything fun.

I also tried to look up videos of liz doing stand up and couldn't find any, maybe I just need to look harder.

Y'all are so awesome i love

Y'all are so awesome i love this blog. seen all of them, but this is my first time posting a comment. i have to say y'all are all HOT, but Jill, damn you are so fine. man i would love to meet y'all but LA is just to far away. so y'all should come and film in Bahama, NC. No really though y'all are so great. i'm already ready for the next blog.

Lauren

p.s. It's ok if you dont know how to pronounce Bahama. Most folks pronounce it like The Bahamas, but it is really pronounced (Ba-Hey-Ma). Just trying to help.

MRIs:

I've only had one done for a tumor on my arm (which i still have), but it was an open MRI, so it wasn't that bad. it was hard to sit still though, cause i was like 8 years old at the time. i've heard that the closed MRI's are a bitch. oh and when they did the iodine thing, it didnt hurt at all, it felt really cool actually.... i guess they stuck it in right haha

well yeah, okay. byebye.

MRI'S

suck! I had one for a neck injury in 1996, and being an xl person, my shoulders JUST fit in the machine. With some serious persuasion/ elbow grease. The sucky part is that you basically can't move at all for the better part of a half hour or you have to start over.

I ♡ Wednesdays...

As usual my Wednesdays would no longer be complete without my fix of "We're Getting Nowhere."  I'm off to watch it now and will post more later.
 
Back Again... First Liz Feldman you ROCK!  Second Jill, I hope that everything went all right and that your results from the MRI come back giving you a clean bill of health.  I ♡ you (and your "big breasts" - see you, Karman and Liz are rubbing off on me). And third... wow, what a job you have Karman, to have to edit this every week (psst... is there a reel that you can put together of all the stuff that's left on the editing room floor? I bet you'd have plenty of people lining up to see that).  It has to be said that I missed not seeing the queen of pillow fights, Bridget McManus, during your montage sequence.
 
Thank you Liz... mammogram does always sound like someone is coming to your door with a delivery.
 
I'm declaring myself Team Jill/Team Karman/Team Liz and oh what the Hell, Team AFTERELLEN vloggers, which reminds me that I do miss not seeing Dara and will be looking forward to her return.
 
Thanks to all three of you ladies for providing us AfterEllen viewers with Lesbian 101 lessons (tops/bottoms, no teeth (Liz ☺), childos (?), etc).
 
I agree with all three of you that the Jenny/Nikki sex scene was HOT ☼!  I don't know if I agree with Liz about the heterosexuality of certain actresses... let's just say that I believe that some of these actresses (while not out) might actually be at the very least heteroflexible.  I also have to say that I quite enjoyed the "sexy secretary" look that Nikki had going on.
 
I'm going to chime in on my favorites over the L Word seasons and say in no particular order: Alice, Carmen, Dylan and Helena are probably my favorites! I'd probably say that Lara and Uta were up there on my list too.
  

P.S. My curiosity always gets the best of me, so I went to the net and looked into it and that accessory that you all were speaking about is indeed called The Accommodator-yikes!

Awesome! :)

Wow, there were so many funny comments in this one, pretty much everything you guys said was funny.

I'm still laughing...

I can't even think straight...

BTW

You guys have talked about Drop Dead Gorgeous a few times as well :)

I actually watched Raising Arizona the other day just because you have mentioned it so much. And I have to agree, it was great! :)

I can't even think straight...

A few comments?

I have to say I'm glad everyone finally found out about Tibette getting "familiar" with each other again. It was driving me crazy.

And my favorite character is Alice -- but she is too much like me to want to schtup (is that how I spell it?)...So I'd say Tina. Something about her oh god. I do love Leisha Hailey but I couldn't be with her character....and lately, Tasha's been looking really yummy. I think with her hair down she looks a lot more laid back. :]

Oh and that sex scene between Jenny and Niki? Niki has the cutest ass I've ever seen. Wow. Hahaha.

Okay, genius vlog as usual.

Okay, genius vlog as usual. But I do miss Dara. Come back!

I love Wednesdays!

Liz is Halarious and this WGN ep was FUNNY

First off, am I the only that get's "Show Me Love" by CeCe Peniston stuck in my head after I hear the WGN theme song? And the montage didn't help

2nd. Jill likes women of color--*with arms lifted* that is fantastic news..i'm really..wow

Liz you are funny, and you didn't even have to use profanity! Best.Guestbian.Ever

But did KARMEN think that Liz was funny? Hmm..don't know. The body lanuage and stoic-ness to Liz's jokes made it seem like she wasn't feeling Liz...hmm not trying to start anything just observing...

Jenny and Nikki are two bottoms!  Omigosh, thank you Liz, thanks, you've solved one of the worlds most lagging mysteries..

Gaby's picture

Awesome

This one was soooo funny... I couldn´t stop laughing the whole time!

Great guestbian, really funny.

Hope everything turns out ok with your MRI Jill <3. Karman your laugh is so cute.

PS: we missed you Dara

Abana's picture

NICE!

This was one funny vlog! Liz was a really great guestbian. And I loved it when Jill always brought back the topic to sex :-)

And on the topic of MRIs - I had one done two years ago. It was aweful. It was for my hands and wrists and because they wanted to see both hands/wrists, I had to go into the closed MRI. Anyway, I had to lie on my stomach and my arms were tied before me so that I couldn't move them. This was such an awkward and a very uncomfortable position. And when they put me in, the flexule went out of my arm vein and the blood was flowing out of my arm. Usually I'm unshockable and I even see blood every day, but this experience was unforgettable, and not in a good way.

Aj's picture

My favorite day of the week

I miss Dara! But Liz was probably one the best guestbians ever.

Interesting episodes always make great fucking vlogs.

The Nikki and Jenny sex scene was so unbelievably awesome. I clap my hands to the great and wonderful Angela Robinson.

I went down during my first time. Although I'd read and watched a bunch of educational materials before hand. Plus I also used a piece of sweet encouragement. Candy makes everything better..... but it sure is sticky ;o)

For me, cheating is when you lie to me. If you met someone really cool that you can't get off your mind and you don't tell me then youre cheating on me. I like honest relationships. We're always going to meet people we're attracted to. People we connect really well with. We're human. If you meet someone awesome, talk to me about it. No matter if you think it's a crush or something more, If youre honest with me about it then we're cool. Whether if we're in a monogamous relationship or an open one. We can figure out together what happens next. This stands for both before and after you've done something. Meaning even if you kissed someone or thought about kissing them and you tell me then we don't really don't have a problem. It's just that simple with me. I'm not going to get mad if you tell me the truth. I won't get mad if you lie to either (I will a little due to the whole betraying of trust thing), it just means I can't trust you. And if I can't trust you then there's no point to being with you.

Great vlog as always

shay's picture

Two hours...

That's how long it took me to watch this vlog 'cause I kept rewinding it almost every time Jill laughed. Her laugh is seriously infectious. I know I've said that before but I don't know if I said it here or not. Anyway, I had to rewind a lot.

 

Loved Liz Feldman as the guestbian. She's hilarious.

 

MRI's suck. They're very uncomfortable, very long, and the needle hurts. Doesn't help that I don't like needles and I'm claustrophobic.

 

I hope everything turns out okay with your test, Jill. :)

realitywrites's picture

fun and water marks

I have to say that was awesome!

 

but also....


I know I must watch this vlog too much because the moment Liz set her water down on the table without a coaster I was completely distracted thnking about Jill's coffee table.

I understand type A.

 

"Lift up your lyres! Sing on! But as for me, I seek your sister whither she is gone."

-Edna St. Vincent Millay

CarZ's picture

Type A scolding

I thought the same thing!!  When I saw the coaster go down and then her putting the glass down on the table, I was waiting for Jill to either:

A) dive across the table, stopping it before the glass hit the wood - all the while shouting "Nooooooo!"
or
B) major scolding for not using the coaster

I would have loved to have seen scenario "A" play out and then re-played in slow-mo.

As a total type A, I would have done A and B.  ;)

spotticus's picture

I was surprised

When Liz flung the coaster and put the sweaty glass down on the table, I was totally expecting Jill's head to explode an edit cut time out for reprimands.

I jest, of course.  This was an awesome discussion of a very entertaining episode.
