"Poor"

By julax, Feb 22, 2008 Report Abuse

Since the show came back on the air for the 5th season I was very enthousiastic about all the new episodes. Unfortunately this one was not a one to remember. Nothing happens, the scenes at the night where the girls wrestle are dragging on and on. Bette and Tina behave like adolescents, Tasha's story doesn't go anywhere. Kelly Mc Gillis doesn't add any spice to the plot. And Jenny, please, do something about her character. The only intrigue came from Adele's odd and spooky behavior. I hope the next episode brings the energy that we saw in the previous ones.moreless

"Great"

By kcbelles, Feb 22, 2008 Report Abuse

The best part of this episode was when the Shebar rats got busted, which means they'll be closed down for a bit, and we know Kit's opening the Planet very soon, since she only needs one inspection more. Go Kit!

Tina and Bette almost had another tryst. I'm not liking how this is dragging out. Bette needs to decide if she wants Tina or if she wants Jodi. As much I don't care for the Bette/Jodi pairing, Jodi's thinking everything is just hunky dory, while Bette is cheating on her. As hot as Bette is, I wouldn't want her as my woman - cheating seems to be on par for her. I also did not care for the Bette / Jodi sex scene. Bette continually smacking Jodi's hands away - made it seem very desperate; I'm surprised Jodi didn't pick up on that.

Aidelle - not sure what her T is, but I hope someone figures her out soon. This manipulating behind the scenes is just not nice. The scene with her in Jenny's chair, saying "cut" very softly; I can't imagine she's thinking to replace Jenny as director. Even if it should pass that Jenny is thrown out, they're not going to put an assistant in her place.

I am glad to see that we still get to see Tasha's world; perhaps she and Alice will get back together? They were good together, I think. I do not like that Alice thinks it was alright to out someone from Jenny's film, even if it was done without naming anyone. You know the "Look" isn't going to be satisfied with just that - they're going to want more and more....

And the Molly thing? With Shane? Best part was when Shane told Molly "don't flatter yourself." Shane can pretty much get whoever she wants - why would she bother chasing someone straight?

Having written this all out, I guess more happened that I originally thought. It just seemed like such a tame episode. Hope next week's is more exciting.moreless

"Perfect"

By Writer2000, Feb 18, 2008 Report Abuse

Let me just start out by saying that I really enjoyed this episode. In my opinion, it was a pretty fun episode to watch while having just the right amount of drama in the episode. My favorite thing about this episode was definitely the lesbian Turkish oil wrestling tournament, especially when Molly goes into the ring. Shane's story line was definitely my favorite story line for this episode, and I definitely think that she has great chemistry with Molly. I also really enjoyed Jenny as a whole in this episode and the depth that they're showing with Jenny as far as her relationship with Nikki goes. This episode was the first episode for this season that I actually liked Alice, even though I still don't agree with her behavior. All in all, I really enjoyed all of the story lines in this episode. This really was a great episode, and I can't wait to see the next episode.moreless

- Goof: At the movie set, Bette and Tina are lying on the bed in "Bev" and "Nina"'s room. The voice over the comm system interrupts them, and they quickly get up. Bette is sitting on the side of the bed and you can see her purse behind her in the middle of the bed. When the camera first shows the person standing at the door, you can't see the purse as it is cut from view. The view changes to Tina and then back to the door again. Now the purse is right behind Bette next to where she is sitting. In the next shot, the purse is again in the middle of the bed. Edit
- Deleted Scene: Jenny plays mediator to settle a cast dispute This scene takes place after the event of the opening teaser. Begoña and Niki are in Jenny's trailer. Jenny's telling Begoña to cut Niki some slack because she's "young and unexperienced". Even though Begoña's more experienced and studied, she should learn something from Niki's "rawness". Niki goes on a rant that the reason why she became in unprepared for the day's shooting was that she attended a fund raiser the previous night because "the Earth is in serious trouble". Begoña storms out of the trailer stating that Niki's "stupidity is staggering". Niki then pleads to Jenny: "Are you gonna let her talk to me like this?" Edit
