Grace, oh, those photos were from way back in May.
You'll have to go back at least 100 pages now if you wanted to see them. I believe you've seen them all anyway, haven't you? I sent you some via PM. The others that you saw are on the "Live from San Francisco" blog in Hook Up. PickandGrin, one of the regulars on this thread, has some really beautiful pictures of JB that she gets from other places and then uses a great new type of photoshop program that makes the pictures look even more fantastic. She's got a real knack for this sort of thing. Here are two that she did that I uploaded for you. Fantastic, aren't they?

Thanks for that!

I know i totally love that knee tap
I can not believe that logo actually deleted that scene that makes me want to not even watch it if they are going to take all of the really really good parts out!!!!! There will only be bout a 15 show lol dam and i tvo'd it to!!!! Shit !!!!!, shit!!!!!, shit!!!!, shit!!!!, shit!!!! i like your sayings at the bottom i am going to have to use them more often lol lol Girl you crack me up!!!
I think I am going to have
a difficult time watching LOGO/lword all the cuts are going to drive me nuts....the GLAAD thing was bad enough.....LDAWN
Hey LD2, I'm with you. I find LOGO disappointing. I think
it does indeed cater more to a gay male audience. BTW, have you ever seen the lesbian series Ex's & Oh's on LOGO ? I finally watched an episode the other day and I can tell you that it doesn't even remotely compare to TLW !! Remotely ! The women, the chemistry between them, the friendships, the story lines, just about everything can't be compared at all to TLW. Perhaps I've been spoiled with TLW and so in my mind I have a higher expectation of Ex's & Oh's, I don't know. I mean, I will watch it again, it's not that terrible but it just doesn't make for a great lesbian series as far as I'm concerned. It's mediocre at best.

I agree Star
I have watched ex's and Oh's..and it does not compare....!!!!It reminds me of IC rant....and the lack of representation we have...I am hoping she will continue to be involved in keeping awareness open in the media...and I am hoping that TLW will continue on in some way....I cannot imagine what it would be like to just have edited versions on TV......LDAWN
I know right
did you see the actual situation about what Jenny did to Lu?? lol lol It was absolutly halarious!!!! lol lol lol
She does seem...
perfectly cast as the Ob/gyn. Actually I think she'd be great in any role as a doctor or scientist.
Pick, have you seen Judith Maxie play in anything else?
I know she does a lot of television and movies but I have a feeling they are cameo or brief appearances or just not big roles. That woman has hot written all over her. I'm surprised she doesn't get more prominent roles.

It seems like I have...
but I couldn't tell you exactly what it was.
I just think it's funny
That, as a doctor, her character is so versatile. First she's an ob/gyn. She was going to do Tina's insemination in S1, probably eventually did the one that took. Then she's in the OR when Tina delivers Angelica. Then in S3, she's the doctor Dana goes to for her breast lump. What is that, a medical trifecta?
I know general practicioners do it all, but my GP does check-ups and paps and the occasional sinus infection, but she is not a "one stop" doc like Dr. Wilson. I know I'd have to get a referring if I were preggers.

My GYN Dr.
Did all those things....OB check ups, delivered babies, did inseminations, checked for breast lumps. I don't think that's unusual for a GYN.
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
That's cool
I just thought it might have been some diversity kick IC was on that ignored reality. I call it the "black boss" syndrome. It's a TV/film phenomena I've noticed where a black or minority character will have a really important job (doctor, judge, police chief) but will be seen for only 5 minutes in that particular show, usually to tell the hero he/she is in trouble, e.g., "Law & Order," "Beverly Hills Cop," and numerous others.
It's almost like the producers are saying, "See, we know minorities can be compotent (fill in the blank with important position). We have them on the show all the time." As if frequency equals quality.
Judith Maxie is good. She'd make a great lesbian on the show. But the phenomena doesn't work that way.

I really like her too
She's really attractive too. I love the way she "winks" at Bette in the scene where she leaves them to get Tina "aroused"......funny. It would have been nice to have a role for her that had more air time, although she makes a great GYN.
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
Actually, a lot of health care providers will allow you to
select your gynecologist as your primary care physician. I thought that there was an actual line somewhere in Season 3 about Dana getting a referral from Bette or Tina -- I really have not committed Season 3 to memory in the same fashion, however, and I could be wrong.
It was 302 - Lost Weekend
Dana and Lara are in the tub when Lara asks Dana about the doctor's appointment. Dana says she forgot but she'd prefer to see a female doctor. That's when Dana realizes that Bette and Tina have a female gyno and she promises Lara that she'll call them for a referral.
Wow, you watch the whole episode?
I know I did once (when it first aired), but generally I've got my finger on the fast-forward button.
I usually do let the whole episode run.
I let them play while I'm in the house doing other things. When a scene comes on that I really like, I stop and watch. I find that especially with the eps that I don't like, I pick up something new almost every time I watch them. I'm in agreement with most people that season 3 was the turkey but if you stop focusing on the depressing TiBette and Dana parts of the story line and look around, it’s actually a pretty good season for the other characters in the show. There are a number of things that I really like.
I'm particularly fond of the way the teasers tie into each episode and then at the end of the season, they all tie together. They even tie back to the first season.
I like Shane's poolside hookup with Cherie.
I think the Helena/Dylan couple is hot. Their scene at the Beach house is one of my favs.
I'm crazy for the Senator Grisham scene. Hot Hot Hot!
Alice is ridiculously funny about the breakup with Dana.
Dana wins a tournament.
Carmen starts a striptease for Shane that sends smoke out of my ears.
I like when Bette takes the advice of Helena’s ex and doesn’t take the bait from Helena thus earning the respect of all of her friends. Then that evening, the whole gang shows up at Bette’s door for family night.
You see? It’s not all bad.
I think most people
Who hate S3 only think about the larger effect of the season and what happened with TiBette and Dana.
I know there were nice moments but, in the end, those aren't the ones that stick in our minds.
The moments I remember are Tina and Daddyof2, Tina against her and Bette's bedroom door with Henry, Shane & Carmen living together (I didn't like Carmen), Bette reaching out to Tina and being rejected -- more than once.
BTW, the stuff with Winnie and Bette was in S2. So was the scene where everyone goes to Bette's place rather than Helena and Tina's housewarming partying -- unless there was another scene where everyone shows up at Bette's.

No there was only one...
I guess I just screwed it up.
Pick.....
I can't remember what this is from?????
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
It's from the Pilot
Dr. Wilson calls Bette out of the exam room to have a look at the sperm sample.
DUH
How could I forget that one. The poster on the wall threw me. I don't think I ever noticed it before.
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
I remember reading in Curve
I remember reading in Curve that they were going to call it Earthlings and I thought that was strange. I can't imagine anything but the L Word.
Yvonne, why must your pics taunt me so?
For the first time ever, I present you, the original title and poster of the L Word :
PS. It's all in the name of fun
Jenny and Bette started out as Ilene's proxies
LMAO! That's a good
LMAO! That's a good one.
Does everyone know the real original name for the show was "Earthlings". How weird would that be if they kept that name?!

One of the first trailers of the L word

I don't think they are any promos of it as Earthlings but you can notice there are different actors, scenes, and Captain Kit in it..
thanks, str8
that was so wierd!
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
Earthlings?????
OMG! I never knew this. Tell me more....I"m intrieged.
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
IC said this in some
IC said this in some interview she did, I can't remember what interview it was from but it's true lol. I sware I didn't just make shit up. lol. She said it was called "Earthlings" when she first pitched it to Showtime, it might have been what they call a "working title" (used until they come up with a real title). Weird huh?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"A soul intention, that's learning to fly

As I recall, the first article I saw about it was in Curve and
it was still called Earthlings at that point.
Oh, okay, Curve yes that is
Oh, okay, Curve yes that is probably where I read about it too. Thanks. :) I knew I didn't just make it up but I was beginning to doubt myself. lol.

earthlings....totally weird..
I do not get it......and where do we come up with this information...anyway LOL LDAWN
Earthlings was a somewhat obscure code for lesbian.
Sort of like coffee drinker. They changed it because most people didn't know what it meant. The name of the Planet is a residual reference to the same code.
Thanks for the info Pick.
Thanks for the info Pick. I'd have been one of the people who had now clue what that ment lol.

Really....that is very interesting
How do you get these kind of tidbits....I alwys like coming into this thread as it appears that folks have an inside track :)
thanks....LDAWN
It was in numerous articles...
just before the show premiered. Here's a link to one of them.

LOL! Earthlings!
Who can forget that? Not to mention Kit's sailor hat..
I can't really see the ship captain thing originally planned
for Pam Grier working out well. I don't know why, it just doesn't work for me.
Geeze....
I hope she wasn't an alcoholic too!
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
The hat thing was intended to be..
"a symbol of Kit's wisdom and role as group mentor"
The only thing I can imagine with that hat, is Bette being forced to call her "O Captain! My Captain!" everytime she wanted a favour from her big sis..
In the commentary to the Pilot they were saying that
Pam's character didn't start out as Bette's sister. She started out as a friend of Bette's who was a ship captain. They decided to enlarge her role, though, and made her Bette's sister.
I see...
lol So, the hat wasn't just a fashion statement
Now you got me thinking, what Bette " you're so snob " Porter and a Captain could have in common and bond over in order to become friends..
just to add to Silverballnz's gorgeous pics
thx Freaky
*sigh*

Have to say that I don't see the point of covering up her
neck in any way. Too reminiscent of that thing they put her in for Tina's award ceremony.
I was gonna say......
I don't like that dress, but I was afraid I'd be killed. It is the neck thing...don't like it. Seems all the "curly" is gone from her hair too. I like it, it's just not my fav.
"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"
I just love to look at pictures of her...
regardless of what she's wearing. ♥ ♥ ♥

Well, there is that, of course.
Of course.
