The L Word Appreciation: L Is For Lovely

Since nobody else stepped up, I thought I'd create a new thread for The L Word, formerly known as Earthlings.

The Official L Word Website, which alas is only available to Americans. Why? Don't ask me. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

The L Word premieres this Sunday, January 18 at 10 pm EST on Showtime. Here is a synopsis of the pilot:

Quote:
Mia Kirshner ("24") stars in this edgy, provocative Showtime Original Series as Jenny, a college grad who moves to L.A. to begin her professional life as a writer and her personal life as the spouse of fiance Tim (Eric Mabius). It's a plan that quickly derails when Jenny meets a West Hollywood cafe owner (Karina Lombard) whose powers of seduction force her to question her sexual orientation. Jennifer Beals, Pam Grier, Laurel Holloman, Erin Daniels, Leisha Hailey, and Katherine Moenning costar in this intimate companion piece to "Queer as Folk."
After the premiere, Jennifer Beals will be chatting with fans on the official site at 11:45 pm EST.

Look! I was good and didn't try to sneak my forum in there. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, I can't post any pictures because my site can't handle the bandwidth from direct-linking a file on FF. Y'all will just have to visit the sites above to see these gorgeous women in all their glory. Yay! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hee! well, see, if you have a website for The L Word that just *happens* to have a message board as well, feel free to put a link up. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] as long as it's not just a link to another forum, it's all good.

and i guess all the Showtime show websites are for the US only. that's just.. poo.

Semi-positive review, scroll halfway down to read.

Help!! Does anyone know if any of the sites listed above (or any that aren't) are planning on doing recaps for the show? I don't have Showtime, but I'm dying to encounter this new show. The same thing happened to me with Queer as Folk. Luckly, back then TWOP offered stellar recaps which held me content untill I found ways to download the episodes, catch random episodes at other people's houses, or rent them when they came out on DVD. If anyone one has any suggestions throw them my way. Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gallie, I will be doing recaps, along with a fellow member of my forum. If you'd like the link so you can read them, just send me a PM or e-mail me at annie@cellophanesun.com. Also, in the links I posted above, there is a site that will be doing episode transcripts, so you can keep up with the show that way as well. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lazy Bean, cool! What's your username over there?

Mia on Craig Kilborn last night. I [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] her. Didn't think I could possibly be more excited than I already am for this show. Guess I was wrong.
