  • An obvious storyline and absolutely nothing surprising in here, that was lame.

    Billie is kicked out, but it was so obvious that he was going to screw everything up. Let's hope he doesn't destroy Max too.
    Tina is getting better and better especially when she shot her little sex toy off.
    Dana breaks up with everyone was so obvious after the last episode. She really destroys her life and I'm not sure Alice can even stand that. It was all too obvious, maybe I'm angry that my favourite couple just broke off.
    What's confusing me more and more is that Helena is hanging out with the others in Bette/Tina's pool. I mean the past history between Tina, Helena and Bette as third wheel. So how come that she suddenly is around all the time. I hoped we get an answer, but still nothing And why isn't Helena living in her super luxury houses or maybe she is but is hanging out by her employee? It's getting confusing more and more.
    So after all the show is already producing filler episodes and it's just started in this season. I so hope for a better story in the next weeks.moreless

    "Good"
    When I read that Elizabeth Ziff (a.k.a. "ezgirl", the infamous composer as of season 2) would be writing a full episode this season I cringed.

    Now I know why.

    Where was the emotion in this episode?

    Nothing felt genuine, and the poor actors were trying their hardest.

    And how necessary were all the F bombs?

    Now I am NO prude. The F bomb is just about my favorite word. But it was just so obviously over used, it was like every other word! Forced.

    I love Dana, but she's become a shrew, and it was impossible to like her in this episode.
    Yes I know she's very ill, but I hope she snaps out of this anger soon.

    The episode itself looked really beautiful, but I don't know yet if that really achieved anything.

    All in all a blahh episode.

    Let's pick it up.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Goof: After Jenny gives Moira her testosterone shot, she places the syringe on a ledge. When the camera zooms in on the syringe at the end of the scene, the syringe is now sitting in a dish on the ledge. Edit
    • Goof: When Alice is comforting Lara by the pool there is the distinct sound of a lawnmower near by. When we see Bette comforting Dana at the same time inside the house, we distinctly hear other outside noises but not the lawnmower. It then starts again suddenly a moment later, though the door has been closed. Edit
    • Deleted Scenes: Scene #1: Bette leaves baby Angelica with the babysitter Bette has called her former assistant James in to babysit Angelica while she goes to the B-52's show at The Planet. The baby is crying and Bette is reluctant to leave her but James assures her he'll take care of her while Bette is gone. Scene #2: Tina has a drink Tina is sitting alone on the bed in her hotel room, sipping wine and thinking heavy thoughts. Although the scene was deleted from this episode, a part of it was edited into the next one, episode 3-8: Latecomer. Edit

    • Dana rants about how the fans on her website write really horrible things about her. This might be a jab back at The L Word fans who are known to be very outspoken about their views on Internet message boards. Especially Tonya (Meredith McGeachie) and Helena (Rachel Shelley) have been subject to harsh criticism in past seasons. Coincidence or not, the writer of this episode, Elizabeth Ziff (or ezgirl) who is usually responsible for the music on the show, is also quite widely disliked. Edit
    • Eve Ensler, who guest stars in this episode as Jenny's editor, is the writer of the award-winning play The Vagina Monologues. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Jenny: Helena, you're a gold star? Helena: Well, I mean, sort of. The english, puppet school boys that I shagged as a teenager, they were just an expierements. And they were so feminine, it doesn't really court. Alice: Helena, that does not count. I think you might be a spoiled star. Edit
    • Bette: Remember this aria? Alice: Oh, you mean our third date where you finger fucked me at the opera before telling me that we weren't right for each other? Oh, and you just met a straight girl that you think you might fall in love with. No, I don't remember a thing. Edit
    • Tina: (to Josh) I was so ready to jump in the bed with you. Now it turns out you're an ignorant ass. God, why can't you just shut up and fuck me. Edit
  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Carmen: (to Alice) You're just jealous because my girlfriend and I are two gold stars that have found each other. Gold star, as defined by Bette in this episode, means that a gay person has never had sex with a member of the opposite sex. Angus also explains the definition of the term "lone star" (the title of this episode): a person who has only slept with one person in his/her entire life. Edit
