Yay, a fresh thread and pretty tools! Something to be slightly giddy about.

I saw the Dr. Love scene on Salon.com's Video Dog and it really is even worse out of context. When it's all by itself, it really sounds like a PSA. Ouch. I really hope there aren't any more of those in the can.

Fresh as a daisy sort of like what Dana will be pushing up soon

Can I be the first in this thread to say F.U. IC? Learning today that it was decided for Erin that she would leave the show had me in all sorts of knots today. What writer kills a MAIN cast member. Yes, the audience needs to have some investment in the character in order for the death to be effective, but one of the 3 Muskateers? Talk about selling out an actress for the sake of ratings.

I'm of the mind that maybe she (Irene) really thought that this would be the last season of the show going in. Then became more attracted to stirring the pot.

Death of Danish. Death Of AlShaDane. Ilene is really crazy. No one is safe.

[cando]

Ilene is like a Greek tragedy and now so is her show.I love the word Hubris and it fits IC perfectly.

I expect in season 4 Bette will discover that Tins was really her mother and then she will cut her own eyes out, for laughs of course.

ED's podcast was very sad, she does not sound happy to be leaving the show. I hate you IC.

and whoever asked if SSwas leaving of her own accord ... I seriously doubt it. Her use as plot devise is done and IC has made her disliked enough that people will be applauding when Shane dumps her at the alter. I have given up pretending that she will be on next year. I hate you IC.

I no longer believe in a place called Hope. It would be amusing if EZ gave IC a STD.

Yesterday without TWOP was like a Sunday evening without alcohol!

I listened to ED's podcast yesterday. Does anyone know when this was taped? My guess would be prior to the beginning of the season.

I was also kinda surprised that at the beginning of the podcast she was rather tight-lipped and about half way through she was spilling her guts...

Does anyone think that if this was taped prior to the beginning of the season, IC might have ended up altering the storyline that we expect to see unfold over the next three episodes? A girl can hope, can't she? How pathetic am I?

"Erin Daniels (The L Word) will star as the title character in the Fox comedy Julie Reno, Bounty Hunter, from 20th Century Fox TV" ~ the3girls

Does Erin remind anybody else of Kate Jackson? Very pretty and dorky. She's really going to have a great career, guys.

I'll miss Dana lots and lots. I hate old Icky Chicken.

The podcast was recorded about September (six mon. after IC told ED about Dana's storyline) I think it was also after Katrina since ED makes a reference to wanting to be in Louisiana which I took as her wanting to help out.

I don't foresee this storyline changing since this is the way IC wanted it to play out from the start.

I think ED tried not to give too much away but once the interviewer asked about Dana's death there was any point to do so any more.

it took me a few seconds to recognize that Dr. Love was a woman. ~ southie

She looked like Henry's older and gender ambiguous twin. I bet she doesn't have backne though:)

The podcast was recorded about September.. ~ LPB

I took the Louisiana comment to mean Katrina assistance, too. SS referenced it as well.

I'm guessing that they weren't sure when they'd release the ED interview so if they wanted to do it earlier in the season it would stop around the 17 minute mark like many of the others but since they chose to release it after ep. 10 then they included the death s/l comments. Her podcast is nearly 30 minutes.

That would make me even more fearful of S4 that she was just writing S3 w/o considering the consequences/future.

May I second the notion - to say FUCK YOU IRENE!!!! leah741

LOL, and we got our first FU Irene too. :) So FU Ilene AND Irene.

I took it the same way, probably after they did the Red Cross PSAs. What I found interesting, is that I was a little offended (being from New Orleans) by S.S.'s comment when she said the place she wouldn't want to be was New Orleans (almost a joke). On the other hand ED's comment that she would have wanted to be in Louisiana touched me. Believe me - Katrina is/was nothing to joke about.

I just got the feeling ED really wanted to do something. To ED: Thanks!

Yes, that's how I look ED's comments as well. I'm not from anywhere near N.O., but I was pretty offended by SS's N.O. comment during her podcast as well.

Heh. Parking is a hassle along that stretch of Sunset Blvd:) Oh and the book? Bleh! Now, if they were giving away belt buckles and L perfume.. then, then I'd hassle the parking situation:)

S.S.'s comment when she said the place she wouldn't want to be was New Orleans (almost a joke). ~ leah

I don't think there was any "almost" about it, Shahi was definitely snarking. I didn't take it as a slam on the city or those impacted but more what a mess in the aftermath that the gov't allowed it to become. Hopefully, few could simply make detached jokes about the situation without the undertone of sarcasm.

That would make me even more fearful of S4 ~ MFLady

Be afraid. Be very afraid:)

Hello. I used to come here a long time ago but sort of fall out of the posting world. Well, I've been watching Season 3 of "The L Word" and I needed to talk to someone about it and since no one I know watches the show, except my mom, I remembered I could come here and post about it.

I still haven't watched the episode that was on this past Sunday but from reading the thread it sounds like I missed quite a bit. And I also learned some things about ED and SS that truly made me sad. Especially about SS... she's my favorite.

Question: I'm pretty sure she is but I just want confirmation that Jennifer Beals is pregnant in real life?

And do you guys really think this is the end of Tina and Bette? I'm not sure how I feel about that. I part of me is actually glad but at the same time they are staple of the show.

And what do you guys think about Kit and Angus? And Moira/Max? I find her character intriguing. She's definitely different than the other ladies on that show.

Too bad TPTB didn't let ED do one of the Katrina PSAs. Sorry, my post should probably have a bitterness warning at least until after the end of this season.

I am very happy that TPTB did put out a podcast from ED, I wasn't sure they were going to. The fact that it was extra long and gave her the chance to say good-bye in away was also nice (speaking as a fan of ED/Dana YMMV)

Another interesting thing to note about the timeline of things is that IC told ED about Dana's death in March and it sounds like the season 2 episode 10 commentary was recorded at least after the episode aired in April since KM, ED and LeH talked about watching and TiVoing it. So this might be the reason behind the extra snarkiness.

Wow! A brand spanking new thread :)

I have put off listening to ED podcast, but I think I may do it this afternoon.

I saw a promo for Sarah Shahi's new show Teachers. The first thought I had was 'She is going to be huge'. Even if the show doesn't make it I think this mainstream attention will open her up to a lot more things, she truly is one of the most beautiful women on TV.

Off to waver back and forth on whether to listen to ED's podcast...

PS. I am soooo getting my ass kicked in the final round of the L word fanisode contest! LOL Oh well, it was fun and I will play again next round.

ETA: Did ExOlives jump ship? **looks around**

Heh. How about *BW* to preface all future comments... Seriously though when they have Bette roaming the back streets and roadways on the lam with Angelica before she changes Angelica's name to Brittany:) and home schools her so as not to be discovered by authorities, I too will use the *BW* to commence all communication..

That would make me even more fearful of S4 that she was just writing S3 w/o considering the consequences/future.

Why didn't the L Word get it's own forum? They gave Firefly it's own forum and the show has been caput for what 2 or 3 years now. Should we e-mail The Powers That Be?

Since they deleted the old thread. I was wondering if anyone would re-post the photo of the new cast member.

ED's loss is going to have an enormous impact on the dynamic of the show.

I agree that SS is being written out of the show. It's the only thing that makes sense as to how Carmen has been written this year. I recall SS mentioning last year that they were going to develop her family in S3. She didn't provide any insight for next year.

I think ED and SS depature speaks volumes about the creative team not knowing what to do with their characters. They seemed to have ran out of ideas of what to do with a gay athlete and Latina. So they gave up on them. Damn shame. There is so much storyline to be had with both those characters. I'm a huge tennis fan so I know there was alot of stuff they never explored with the character of Dana. With Carmen they could have brought on a Latina writer to flesh her out more. What a waste.

I wish the L Word cast would be given an opportunity to sit in one room and be interviewed. I would love to see the cast interact together and provide character and group analysis. Perhaps I'll write Logo.
