Tonights episode was far too good. Just...too good. Last weeks was explosive and made me feel all comfy back in the universe, but this one was like falling back into stride, and I loved it. Lessee if I can go through and rant in order this time...
Okay, TINA. And the LAWYER. I spent the scene realizing that yeah, Bette kind of played off of Tina as a stay at home wife. And Tina realized the same thing, but I don't think she really felt like she had spent those years under Bette's heel until the stupid lawyer got way too into it. There were back and forth scenes with this weaving between others, and I just bleh. This will be my whole review for them. I don't like the lawyer. Alice, whhhy did you tell her?
Then it was Alice and Shane! Who seem the adore going to the Planet at the beginning of eppies, but oh oh THE PLANET WAS CLOSED. Which was sad. But Shane trying to order at the Starbucks reincarnate? GRAND.
"The-the-the-the *Somethinorother* head trip...the espresso of the day...is that different than a regular shot?"
"No."
"it's not?
"No."
"Okay, then I'll have two...whichever's strongest...and can I have it filled in a *hand motions* tall cup...halfway?"
"Okay, any flavoring?"
"What, in my coffee? *Turns to Alice* What the fuck is he talking about with the flavoring?"
It was CUTE. Then Tonya and Dana. Ugh. WE SO SEE MORE CONTROLLING TONYA. Even if it is just coffee. Alice is annoyed, squee!
KIT. At the garage. I swear, are they ALL drag kings there? Not that I don't like drag kings, I'm quite fond of them at this point. Just weird. Poor Kit didn't want to upset Ivan, but he's pissed and confused and just gah. But she needs money for The Planet, soo, lovely Dax gives up info. I heart Dax. I don't know why, s/he is brand new.
Bette trying to find a home to rent for Tina. Bette is at her BREAKING point, she's trying to hold back the stress and keep working but still function and help Tina somehow because it IS Bette's fault. But she looks so broken when she realizes Tina has a lawyer. *Sigh*
Jenny's writing teacher is a bitch. I hate her. MAKE HER GO AWAY. I would be proud if I were Jenny, to have a wall THAT extensive of rejection notices. Bwahaha.
SHANEYSHANE! And her new gal. Which is a cute little relationship. I mean, all they want to do is sleep together, but you know cute. Fun mix of shadows behind frosted glass, band playing, and actual clear shots of girl(Carmen?)/Shane kissing. Nice.
More Ivan/Kit. Pissy!Ivan in person. *Huggles him* But he wants to help Kit somehow...
Oh, oh, Tonya and Dana discussing parents at the wedding. It's evil. 'Cause Tonya is EVIL. She calls her POOKIE. I already mentioned how BAD THAT IS. Grr, argh. She's too controlling. I. Hate. Tonya.
Bette bitching at Alice. I want to block this scene from my head. We DO find out that Bette and Alice dated for six weeks. *Giggle*
The actual PARENTS convo. Which is sad, because the mother doesn't understand Dana. Grr. But Tonya whips out her OMGTHISSTORYISSOFAKEIMSOSCREWINGWITHYOUGUYS!!!!11!1ONE story and makes things better. I hate Tonya. Even if I think it might've actually helped Dana's parents.
Tina, Alice and Shane at the Starbucks reincarnate. Not much to say. Just there. We find out stuff.
I'm going to speed up now, 'cause I have to go soon...
Robin/Jenny happens a lot, Robin bitches out Jenny for being a lovespaz. Which is true. Jenny is insane at this point. Rawr. I don't know what I feel about this relationship, to tell the truth. I like it, but Jenny is right, she needs to be alone and be scared...
DANA/ALICE AT THE CAFE. So cute. They can't follow the rules. Tee hee, just KISS AGAIN!
Oh, oh, cool shots in the Chinese restaurant on the little spinny thing. Stripper talk. Shane noticed a little bit between Alice and Dana, I think, which was FUNNY. Yay. Then Bette shows up and sees them all (including Tina) and it's sad.
STRIP CLUB. I hate Tonya. If I were Dana, I would have backed away when she tried to make out with me by the stripper, to say the least. Yeah.
DANA AND ALICE IN THE BATHROOM. THAT'S THE BEST. So close to making out, leaning in, then...I hate Tonya. But the look on Alice's face was PRICELESS.
Tina got a lap dance. It was sad, because well comments were made about the Bette lookalike as the stripper. Yeah, but Tina's expression in the beginning was fuunnny. Then she got upset. Awww.
IVAN shows up and gives Kit the money she needs, but says it has to be a purely business relationship. Then...WINK. Oh my god. I'm in love with a drag king. ^_^ Sexy wink, that Ivan has. I watched it in slow motion. Best. Wink. Ever. (Yes, IMO, Ivan gives Sark a run for his money...)
And then a guy from Italy shows up to deal with Kit and the Planet. We think it's Marina's dad.
But of course it's her HUSBAND OF 12 FRIGGIN YEARS. WHAT. THE. HELL.
It was WEIRD.
Last scene was cute. Bette, SmexyShane and then Jenny on Bette's porch. Why do I feel Bette/Tina vibes? Hmm. Just some talk of Tina, I guess. Then Shane hints to Jenny about being able to room with her in Tim's old house, so maybe that'll be fun. Shane needs a room for her new girltoy.
Less of a rant and more of a quick recap. Oh well.
PROMO THOUGHTS -
Shane and her girlie have some issues. To be expected.
Bette and Tina are gonna screw it all up. It's sad.
THE ALICE GLARE. So awesme. Then her telling Dana that she lets Tonya get her way, then Dana REALIZING IT, or so it seems. The yelling about Tonya butting ahead was AWESOME. I hate Tonya.
Yay. I want it to be next week.
