anthurium

The rules to the L word drinking game, circa Season 6, are simple and finite.

In case you want to know what’s actually going on in the episode, Scribe Grrl’s fantastic recap is here.

We take a drink anytime:

-Someone has a lunch meeting at the Planet
-Shenny. Need we say more?
-Cheating. (See also: poorly foreshadowed future cheating and the fallout from past infidelities.)
-Lucy Lawless is on screen. Mmm, Lucy Lawless.
-Racist, sexist, able-bodyist,transphobic, or classist bullshit occurs
-Genre whiplash, or thinly veilued allusions to the whodunit-to-come.
-Someone announces their intention to kill Jenny Schecter.
-The writing or directing becomes so terrible that you absolutely must have a drink to continue.

Ann: Do we need more?
Violet: Honesty, I think the last three are enough to get us smashed.

Finish your drink when:
-We find out who killed Jenny Schecter
-There’s a geniunely moving scene with authentic characterization and quality writing.

annthurium: At least here, we don’t have to put up with monkeysqueals? Huh? violetcrazygirl: …squirrels? Oh, they’re MATING. Right. annthurium: Oh. Something transphobic! Sexism too. :drinks: violetcrazygirl: Jenny–now with more transphobia!

violetcrazygirl: Does ‘i hate jenny schecter’ count? Ann sez yes, so drink we do.

annthurium: The theme song should be a "finish your drink" moment. Seriously. violetcrazygirl: @annthurium We’re gonna need more drinks, then :-p violetcrazygirl: But seriously, what’s with the sudden pronoun confusion and transphobia and do these writers *understand* what T does? annthurium: What is it with Bette and the floral motifs on her tits? They’re better than Jenny’s doilies, but only marginally.

violetcrazygirl: ‘Who’s that?’ ‘A SUDDEN CHANGE OF SUBJECT!’ violetcrazygirl: ‘She must be *insane*…’ You’d know, Jenny. annthurium: Potential cheating. Dingdingding. :drinks:

annthurium: Oh, and lunch at the Planet. violetcrazygirl: ‘Your 3 o’clock is here.’ ‘Who?’ ‘A filmmaker.’ ‘Her name?’ ‘Uh… A. Filmmaker.’ ‘okee!’
annthurium: This is the creepiest lamaze analogue ever.

annthurium: More booze. Already. We elected to switch to wine. violetcrazygirl: ‘Helena is the love of my life, and I’d give anything to be with her.’ …including KILLING JENNY SCHECHTER!!!111

violetcrazygirl: ‘What can we offer you in the way of protection?’ ‘…from you?’ annthurium: I think we should drink anytime Alice has a good line. violetcrazygirl: ‘What is this, recycling? Paper/plastic lesbians?’ I love Alice. violetcrazygirl: ‘And she’s single!’ And we want to nom her like whoa. violetcrazygirl: Helena is ridic. hawt. Btw.

violetcrazygirl: ‘I want to break into the art world… How could I do that?’ We could sleep together. annthurium: Jenny is wearing the latest in Hefty bag dress designs. annthurium: Shane is clever to avoid being waylaid by Jenny’s stark raving tendencies.

annthurium: Cheating fallout…:drinks: annthurium: “The old Shane. You’re not like that anymore.” Riiight. violetcrazygirl: But, actually, that scene was good. I like that Shane was all upfront about not tossing Carmen (semi-metaphorically). So, half our drinks? annthurium: Is this a Shenny intervention?

annthurium: Apparently not.

violetcrazygirl: Mmm… Class divisions. violetcrazygirl: Someone saw that NY Times article. violetcrazygirl: Ah smells homophobia.

annthurium: I smells trouble. violetcrazygirl: Also, racism.

annthurium: I liked the nod to prop 8, but that scene was painful. annthurium: Obviously Dylan and Helena are going to get married, or something, by the end of the season. annthurium: Omg! The transphobia is contagious. annthurium: Oh! Helena’s kids mysteriously reappear. Funny that.

violetcrazygirl: 1. The voice thing is killing me. 2. Max and Tom are definitely not lasting 9 months. annthurium: Authentic interaction. Violet is impressed. :drinks: annthurium: I called it, I called it. annthurium: ‘Are you putting on the crazy Jenny show just so you see how far you can push it with me?" Answer: yes.

annthurium: Authentic Shane is authentic.

violetcrazygirl: ‘I’ll let you know when.’ Through some medium other than accosting you in the driveway. violetcrazygirl: Huh. The scene with Max and Tom, actually good. annthurium: Classism. Whoa. Tsk tsk, Bette. violetcrazygirl: Wait, Bette, are you saying you’re worried the kid is born bad? Like, her blood is bad? REALLY?

annthurium: You know what that music means. Hott Motel 6 sex.

annthurium: Okie, liveblogging experiment over. We still have booze left. Impressive. G’nite.
