“before you know it, I’ll be advanced placement gay, and then graduate level gay, and f* law school, I’ll get my doctorate in f’ing gay.”

I love the L word. It’s a guilty pleasure, as I don’t usually succumb to night-time soap-opera-ish shows.

And I am entertained by most of the characters, especially Jenny this season.

But, I’m sorry, Cybill Shepard’s daughter’s character, Molly, well…

she is exceedingly annoying and embarrassing. She follows Shane (who looks like she is in serious need of a burger this season) to a bike ride for breast cancer, and races her to get her to talk to her. “I love you!” she shouts, causing Shane to fall off the course. She explains to Shane that lesbianism is like bike riding.

No! It was great for me. You know you don’t just get on a bike and know how to ride it, it’s the same with riding a girl!

There’s more.
And I’m here, and I’m really crazy about you. And I need you to give me another chance, even if I’m awful in bed. I know I’m still gay 101 but I’m a real fast learner. And before you know I’ll be advanced placement gay, and then graduate level gay, and f* law school, I’ll get my doctorate in f’ing gay.

I was watching the show with a few friends, and I had to put a pillow in front of my face as I cringed in embarrassment for Molly.

Later in the episode, before Molly has her first lesbian sexual experience, Shane gives her golden advice: “Breathe through your mouth.”

Aagh.

Sweet sweet L Word, with your 10-minute montage of lesbians bike riding (“being gay is fun.”) in the mountain, and laughing by the campfire, and predictable plot twists (i.e.: Adele stealing the sex tape Jenny and Nicki made), you never cease to amuse/amaze me…
