L stands for Let's eat some party brownies 5.5

So, overall, not as bad as the first three eps, but not half as scintillating as 4. Either way, a good time. We see more of a breakdown with Bette and Jodi, Alice pulling some shifty shit and the alluded demise of Alice and Tasha. *Sniffle.* The highlight of the episode was the cast party at Shane and Jenny's. So. Much. Happened. Let's dive in, shall we?

* Party brownies are the bomb, and I'm not promoting drug use, just light drug use. Okay, so I am. I've only had them once in my life but, damn, son, damn.

* Jenny gets it on with Nikki, her cast doppelganger, in the closet. Intriguing, as Nikki hasn't come out of it yet. And, can someone please tell me what the hell sort of tattoo Nikki has on her left shoulder? It looks like poop to me.

*Shane still has That Hair, but it's fluffed out a bit, and not so stringy. You're getting closer, closer. And there will always be a soft spot in my heart for crisp, white dress shirts. Unbuttoned with a tank underneath. With wrist, um, embellishments. Are those leather? I likey.

*Additionally, Shane does the dirty dirty with one-third of the threesome (or would it be one-half of the twosome? Or two-thirds of the threesome? This is why I failed math).

* Still no Papi. No mention of her, nothing. I was hoping she'd fly out from behind a piece of furniture and scream, "here I am!" ... and then Ilene would tackle her and then the scene would go on like nothing happened. Yes, I should be DIRECTOR!

* No, actually, I shouldn't. Things would go awry. Moving on. In the busting up part of the party, I sort of love how 1. Dawn D. wears see-through clothing and 2. She's about four feet tall, so her "threats" are met with delicious laughter, and that was me laughing. The L Word girlies were high, silly. They'd laugh at anything.

* How AWESOME is it when Bette flips out ("I am flabbergasted, fucking flabbergasted") and instead of talking to her doppelganger who asked ridiculous questions, she turns to Tina? Bette flipping her shit is just about the best thing to watch. I have a name for it: A Bette Moment. And sometimes, I have Bette Moments myself.

* Is it just me, or are there a ton of fake breasts this season? It seemed as though Ilene was keeping it real (haha) in previous seasons and you'd see au natural boobs and it was good, it was really, really good. Now it's more, L.A. Blechy.
