"Perfect"

By Writer2000, Feb 04, 2008 Report Abuse

Let me just start off by saying that I absolutely loved this episode. All of the Bette and Tina content was definitely the highlight of the episode for me, especially how the tension between portrayed. I also loved Jenny in this episode. I thought that she was very funny. I love the fact that she's having an affair with the actress that's playing the character that's based on her in her movie. All of the pot brownie party scenes were great. I loved when Tina got drunk/high. She was so funny. I got a real kick out of Bev in this episode. All in all, this was another amazing episode of The L Word, and it was definitely a very well written, well acted episode. That being said, I can't wait for next week's episode which I'm sure will be outstanding.moreless

- Alice: (leaving a message for Tasha) I need to talk to you because I'm being asked to be on Crossfire-Ball or, I don't know, whatever, and I posted that video of that guy, Brewer. This is a reference to the CNN political/current events debate show Crossfire, which ran from 1982 to 2005. The show presented both liberal and conservative views and had the hosts debate both sides of various issues. Edit
- Shane: Do me a favor, call her. Get her over here, then we can all bring sexy back together. This is an allusion to the Grammy Award winning track SexyBack (released in 2006) by Justin Timberlake. Edit
- Title: Lookin' at You, Kid The title is a well-known quote said by the character of Rick Blaine (played by Humphrey Bogart) in the classic 1942 movie Casablanca. The full quote would be "Here's looking at you, kid." Edit
