what may or may not be hard reality

Well, I hate Jenny Schecter as well, SO MUCH, but almost as much do I hate what this show is doing to Max. Argh. I never thought I'd say it but it sort of makes me long for the days when he was closeted and dating his boss's daughter.

Usually I'm pretty blind to stuff like clothes and hair, but that *thing* that Bette is wearing with the flowers around the neck? CREEPY.

Kelly freaks me out. I want her to go away and never come back.

Tasha's reference to Dylan being a stalker totally made me snicker. Has anyone told her what Alice did after Dana broke up with her??

Heeee!! "No, I have a meeting with a filmma....AAAKER. She set me up! That is so sly!" And Tina's wide-mouhted breethy indignation is comedy cold! (Or whatever. I loled.)

Well, "the legs" is only marginally better than "her legs" I suppose, but I give her points for saying she was sorry, and for taking it in stride and not creating yet another awkward horrible scene.

Awww... I have to admit, considering how hard I shipped Helena/Dylan the last time around, hearing Dylan say that Helena is the love of her life totally makes me all warm and fuzzy.

And yeah, Helena's doing a really good job of hiding how into Dylan she still is.

So the perks of owning your own place is that you can make yourself free drinks all the time? Hmm. I thought that was generally frowned upon among restaurant owners.

Tasha and Alice talking to that chick on the phone and sounding all happy and care-free sounds... fake.

Shenny sucks. God. Shane! RUN! NOW! FAST!

And I was gonna say some more about how much I hate Jenny, but then Bette and Tina and Angie showed up, and yay!! They're such a beautiful family. Good call, Xena.

Damn. Again, I'm not very sensitive when it comes to clothes, but that shirt Alice is wearing is HORRID. Yuck.

Yes. I would react in the completely same way if I realize that Jenny was joining me and my friend for lunch. Goodbye appetite.

That grandmother/mother lady looks kinda like Maggie Gyllenhaal. The situation is AWKWARD, though. I hate awkward. Why does Bette always have the most awkward situations???

Argh. Dumb-ass people. Why can't the girl give her kid to any couple she likes?

The Alice/Jamie thing is a bit creepy. It's not that I dislike either of them, but they're talking in that aggressively cheerful way that you know whenever they stop talking it's gonna be quiet and awkward. And I know they're supposed to like each other and be good friends and whatever, but all I'm feeling is on edge.

The Sunset Boulevard/Kit this is odd, but I'm feeling it. Totally feeling it.

Boys' Night at HIT is creepy. Too many boys everywhere. And Max and What'shisname? Tom? Dale? (Dale Beckett, PI - it is him, right?)

Yeah. Helena and her kid-situation is weird. At least she realizes that she does indeed sound like the worst mother on the planet. But she's gorgeous.

Eeeeeeee!!!! Helena is all 'what the fuck am I saying?' "Have dinner with me. I'll let you know when. *runs away* Oh FUCK." Dylan all apologetic, and really sorry, and thinking Helena's gonna beat her up or something, and awwwww, so cute! They totally have chemistry, and yay! Ilene, do not screw this up. Please. PLEASE.

Wah! SHANE! RUN! Jenny is FUCKING CRAZY! I'm so sorry that you love her, it's a really fucking bad thing, because Jenny doesn't even remotely know the meaning of the word. I mean, she's gotta have one of those sociapathic disorders, right? Complete and utter inability to empathize or relate to any other human being other than how it pertains to her own narcissistic world-view. BLERG.

Are they setting up Tasha/Alice for a threesome solution with that Jamie girl? Because poly is about the only thing left that this show hasn't tried to butcher yet.

Poor Tom. If I had to watch my girlfriend to her nightly ritual by taking off her fake boobs, and remove her vagina to reveal a penis and a hairy chest, I'd be pretty darn freaked out too. (Does that sound ignorant and insensitive? But I'm gay, I love women, and the physical aspect is definitely a part of that...)

Angie!!

"I'm just *stunned* by their ignorance." Bette, honey, have you been living under a rock in a gay bar your entire life? I sympathize with you, I absolutely do. Bette's righteous anger is sweet.

I also have to say that 'interesting' might not be a reason I'd wanna be chosen as an adoptive parent for. But it was a sweet scene. Awww, Bette/Tina!

"No, not another one. Here comes another one."?? Really. Thank you for smacking me over the head with that song. Because I wouldn't have realized the contrast you were making there with Bette/Tina and Max otherwise. *eyeroll*

Good grief. Tom left him over night? That's just EVIL.

Again, pretty solidly ok episode. Nothing particularly brilliant, but few overly painful scenes either. I love, really really love Bette and Tina and Angelica.

And good to see Dylan again.

But hey, Jodi wasn't in the episode at all, was she? *pout* At least she's on The West Wing pretty frequently these days, so I get to see her play a brilliant character who doesn't make it her purpose of life to make life hell for my favourite character, and subsequently make life hell for me having to watch their scenes.

Tasha looked too femme-y, though. Eeek.
