what may or may not be hard reality

OMG YAY XENA!!!!!!

Bette and Tina being mostly amused by Shane and Jenny fighting next door, realizing they have different opinions about it and mutually agreeing to not discuss it? Totally awesome. Like they care, but not *that* much...

And so it's 20 minutes into the episode, and there are women everywhere, and I'm all like 'what the fuck am I doing with shows like CSI: Miami?' I love Calleigh, I really really love Calleigh, because she's a gorgeous amazing lovely intelligent woman, and I love women, all kinds of women, although not all women, but a lot of women, and The L Word is all women all the time, and I don't miss men when there aren't any men around, not in the least, I don't even notice them in their absence, but on a show like CSI: Miami I get restless and fastforward all the time (which I do for Jenny's scenes on this show, but not most of the others) because if there isn't a bloody-awesome storyline involved (and there rarely is on TV these days), I need gorgeous women to hold my interest.

I hate Jenny. SO FUCKING MUCH. What the fuck business does Jenny have going telling Molly that Shane has been fucking Nikki for that long?? Shane screwed up. Absolutely. And then she's reading the letter that's meant for Shane. Shane was out of line fucking Nikki but Jenny is just as bad lying to Molly. The difference is I don't think Shane does it to be mean, she does it because she's thoughtless and reckless and doesn't think. Jenny does it because she wants to hurt people when she perceives they've done her wrong. And that's a BIG difference, and in my eyes the former is bad but forgivable, whereas the second is unforgivable. And I hate Jenny.

Jennifer Beals, on the other hand, her I love. And Bette Porter as well.

Yay Papi!!! Like, I don't know what everyone had against her. Sure, the hats were bad, and casting an Indian-American in a Latina role is a bit unnecessary, but that's hardly Janina's fault, that's the casting department, and I really like Janina, and that scene with Alice in the limo was totally hot. (And also, anyone who invites Christina into her home for hilarious interviews, no chance I'm not gonna like them...)

Totally not hot? Jenny and Nikki fucking.

I'm trying and I'm trying, but I can't for the life of me remember why Tasha and Alice are fighting.

However, Tina and Bette talking in a car? I could watch that all night. Why isn't this show about them. Jennifer and Laurel and brilliant and nuanced and Bette & Tina have grown so much and come full circle and I love them, and if there was only Bette and Tina on the show I would so watch it.

That said, Alice and Tasha are really cute, even if I can't remember what they did last season.

And Helena is gorgeous. I wish she would get better storylines. I love Helena.

Was that Kit's first 'girl' of the season?? And Kit giving Shane advice? Is kinda sweet.

Seriously? The episode is over in 3 minutes? Nothing happened! Ilene gets 8 episodes, and she spends 54 minutes doing absolutely nothing?

Thank you Kit! You've gotta be kidding, right???? I can't believe Jenny is trying to play out the couples against each other. I can't believe they're letting them!!! (But I'm really glad Helena is at the same table as Bette! :P) But did I just spend 54 minutes waiting for this rift?? Gah! 8 episodes!! Honestly, this could have been accomplished in much less time.

But Bette and Tina should *definitely* know better than to let themselves be played like that!! And Alice and Tasha, too, really. Idiots. They should all just stand up and say 'we refuse to pick sides in this, and we will leave until you guys have worked this out, because we love you both, and we will not be *played* by you, Jenny, fucking annoying drama queen that you are.'

Can we please fastforward 3 months to that part where Xena comes, again?
