It is really good to see Gigi set boundaries with Dani. She told Dani what she likes and dislikes and Dani is starting to do the same. The communication in this relationship is so refreshing.
Also I legit cried when Dani and Gigi were hugging and talking because this is the first healthy relationship we’ve had on the show and it just made me so emotional lol
Gigi knows how to draw Dani out of her shell. How the hell does Finley get into Dani’s building let alone know where her apartment is located? What’s up with her peeing in the hallway? Love seeing the 4 OG’s in the same scene. Best scene Bette introducing Pippa to Tina. Note: people with end stage renal failure awaiting a transplant would have been on dialysis.
I really wish Laural Holloman is available to do the whole next season. We need Tina & Bette to really lay everything on the table all the hurt & anger. The highs and lows. Maybe then they’ll be able to find peace.
Yes, spot-on! Honestly, lay everything out on that table. Leave nothing unsaid that each feel. Only then will they be able to move on together, or move on apart.
Gigi is the person you'd like to have in your life, very supportive, believes in you whenever you are doubting yourself, and her patience is just unbelievable. She can make people around her better. I want gigi to be happy, she deserves it!!!
GiNi lives rent free in my mind and colonizes my heart. At this point I can watch them braid each other for an entire season. Felt like a century passed waiting for a new episode. Let them be Endgame without any stupid cliffhanger😭🤧
@@foff2246 if you saw the teaser of episode 10 is possible that Tina ends up alone and Bette will be with Pippa. Like in the end of season 4 of OG: Bette stayed with Jodie and Tina was alone. This storylines suck to me. Are not good. So much drama and pain for Bette and Tina. When it will be enought?
@@sandypeper8174 I agree, that might happen so they have storyline for season 3 should they renew it. Also, I dont know why they always portray lesbian relationships as toxic LOL. The only couple currently who seems to have their shit together is GiNi (until further notice)
I just wanted to add that Bette’s face said so much after Tina asked her the question. Her love for Tina is still there! It was wonderful to have the OG crew back together. Their chemistry is so great together as you commented on. They know each other so well. Uncle Shane and Alice are so good with Angie in getting her grounded again with their honesty of the situation. Jordi brought Angie back in pointing out that she was angry with her donor. Poignant moment. I loved your perceptions regarding Bette and Tina. Spot on. Next episode is going to have so many cliff hangers. Here we are again, waiting on Showtime to let us know what going on. They drive me crazy!
Love Uncle Shane and Aunt Alice being there for Angie.......PS, everyone goes to Alice's place when they have nowhere to go in the OGs, Tina, Dana, Helena, even Phyllis' husband. LOL
Agree! Best episode of the season!! Having the 4 OG together did feel electric! I just love having Tina back, her character just adds something an is so missable when not in episodes!
Thank you so much for making these review videos! I love your reaction to 'Having to effing wait another effing week!" *doesn't even want to think about the cliff hanger they will make us endure at the end of the season and having to wait an effing year!* 😀
Love seeing Dani let her walls down with Gigi. They are so cute 🥰 And idk why I had a feeling that Finley was gonna be going to Dani’s apartment when I saw her in the hallway. I really hope that girl gets some help. Also I feel like that “sorry” from Sophie was about more than just Finley showing up at Dani’s apartment. Tina is definitely jealous of Bette and Pippa but idk if I’m feeling that cause I don’t want TiBette to just end up in the same loop of breaking up and then realizing they’re still in love while they’re with other people. And idk if I was misinterpreting the family convo but didn’t Maribel’s mom ask if “he knows about the work thing” so I wonder if that means that Maribel is gonna be moving away or something
I agree, this was my favorite episode of Gen Q so far! Having Bette, Tina, Alice and Shane in so many scenes together made my heart so happy. Don't even get me started on TiBette. It was like Laurel was a main cast member again. Alice finally admitting that she was dating Tom made me smile so big. Finley was a steaming hot mess and I appreciate how raw and realistic it was. Gigi once again reminding us why she's the perfect girlfriend. Everything about it was perfect. I can't wait for the finale 🖤
The more I think about how tina asked Bette if she was still in love with her. I just get more and more frustrated . Like tina broke Bette’s heart by leaving . Let’s just assume Bette loved tina so much that she let tina go so she can “find herself “ . And let’s say tina has found herself . She should break it off with carrie and get her “first last and forever “ back . But the fact that tina said yes to Carrie’s proposal and asked Bette if she was still in love with her . Just grinds my gears
Episode 209 is spectacular!! Loved everything about 209!! My favorite! The screen was sparkling with Jennifer and Laurel chemistry as Tina and Bette! The highlight was the OG Fab 4 being all together again, too!!
Ash you are really bursting with excitement! Which makes the video special and enjoyable. I'm glued to every detail, and very appreciative for all the effort you put into bringing the trailers to us. I've watched every episode so far. Episode 5, 7 and 8 are my favorite so far. I will watch episode 9 on Sunday night. So once again thanks for the update and a wonderful, devoted year of Postings. 🙏👍💕
The scene where Marcus was dying made me think of Danas death timeline. They were showing what Angie was doing at the exact time he was dying. My heart was breaking even though Angie was so very happy with Jordi.
Gini's hug was adorable! I love Angie! When she said to Alice ''Nobody cares..'' it's so true! This season Alice's story is terrible! Please, next season give Alice a better storyline... Angelica Porter-Kennard is the best! Also, poor Finley, they must really help her.
Dani is worried about Sophie. In the mist of someone hurting you that you clearly love you do not want to see that person hurt. There’s still one episode left. Let’s see if Dani reaches out to Sophie. In TLW Gen Q everyone get hurts or causes some pain. The drama is why viewers continue to watch. Loved Tina this episode. Very nostalgic having her present and a lot of screen time.
Great review Ash! I really have no clue as to what Bette will do. I think if Bette hadn’t met Pippa, Bette would tell Tina she still loved her. Bette does have a connection with Pippa and she’s still hurt that Tina left her AGAIN! Having said that Tina is the love of her life. I though Bette made an effect to be nice to Carrie at the poker game. Once Carrie kept pushing her Bette ended up being an ass at the end. I give her credit for trying but you can’t push Bette Porter around.
Bette gave her an out, she didn't take it, Shane told her to take it slow, she didn't, she pushed Bette for the truth, she got it, she kept pushing Bette and got the hard truth,
I agree with you, I also had that special feeling when the OGs were all acting together again, their group dynamic was so refreshing and funny to watch, I just loved it! Especially the liquor scene with Alice was hilarious haha
The hand gesture of Gigi in the breakfast scene is too cute. I can't handle it. I mean Sepideh puts so much efforts on those details. I want to cry every time i re-watch the line "Do you want to hurt me? What you're doing is hurtful". But then i melt with the line "if you don't push me away, i'll always hold you". Gigi definitely is the most perfect and supportive lover in this season. Gigi's always there for Dani since 203. And Gigi brings us to see the other side of Dani. I love the contrast that how tough Dani looks in the suit with her hairs tied up and then she falls in Gigi's arms. And i have to say that i never forgot how Bette treated Gigi in those horrible ways in previous episode but i actually love all Tibette scene in this episode. It reminds me lots of beautiful moments of the OG. Although I just concern what's going on with GINI, I'm curious why Finley turned up at Dani's house and what her intention is. Thank you so much for your reviews. It really made my day!
You know what I caught the 2nd I watched the episode , when Tina and Bette were at the hospital 2nd time . Before Tina asks Bette if she is still in love with her . You see that Bette is looking at Tina , while her head is not facing Bette . And then Tina catches it ( like how Carrie said at 2.1 , Bette is always looking at Tina ) that’s when she asks bette if she is still in love with her
@@buddahstar8 also watch OG show season 4 ep 8 about 19min mark - And then rewatch that scene at the hospital that we talked about I think tina saw how Bette was looking at her . And knew Bette was still in love with her . That’s why tina asked Bette if she was
My favorite episode so far this season. I just love Bette. And Tina. But I am also like Pippa and Bette. Love-is complicated. This is my favorite show and I am straight. I just love the friendships and the love connections!!
When Bette says “I think we should go back..” Tina, just for a second, gives a look like ..”is Bette talking about US going back?” Ash didn’t commit on this, but I thought it was very obvious…
Great, great review. I am not going to make a long comment because my heart still crushed from last night. I laughed and I cried throughout the episode. I loved ep 209, this is definitely my favorite of all. The writers did a fenomenal job writing it. Also thank you for such a great review. And yes, I also agree with you, we have to wait another “fucking” week 😂😭🥰😂
The OG’s make the show!!! Tina bring in the episodes make a big difference…. I totally miss her when she’s not in an episode… What would’ve been great is if Bette was going to say I will always love you Tina but you’re in love with Carrie, right? Just like Tina did with her when it came to Jodie and look what happened with that in the end… Somehow someway the writers will be smart enough to put them back together again… I don’t feel they’re going to let down thousands of their fans… But they’re just going drag it out forever before they do it… I can’t help thinking about how someone said that somewhere Jennifer Beals answered someone’s rant about Tibette getting back together again and she answered in one word that said patience… So once again after waiting six years very patiently… We’re all waiting again very patiently… LOL
I so agree with you. I really miss Tina. Without Bette and Tina, I don’t find it so good. I wish that Tina come on the show permanently, just them being together as friend makes my heart jump. They have such a chemistry. I really want them to be back together. But not sure if this will happen.
@@buddahstar8 I listened to that pants podcast before while I was doing some things and basically it’s just the last minute of it when Rose Rollins asks if Tina and Bette are totally back on together, and Kate and Leisha started laughing saying this is public another words word she cannot ask them a question like that because they can’t answer that it would be a spoiler… And they recorded that a few months ago… So I don’t know if that meant anything positive for Bette and Tina but I think everyone knows in the end whenever the show is officially going to end at that point they’ll probably have them back together again as long as Laurel continues to come on the show…
@@RC-dk7hl Yes but I took it as they already spoke outside of the podcast and told her and shes likes whats up are they full on back together yet? Specifically the yet statement. So I took it as Leisha telling Rose to shut up b4 they get in trouble for spilling the beans. Well thats How I took it anyway.
……..for me, Tina lived in a cloud somewhere re: her relationship with Carrie and now in ep9 the door has opened and in blows reality, complexity, new truths, confusion, and Bette. Does the cloud lift for Tina, does she realize maybe she doesn’t need soft pillow Carrie and that kind of comfort? If the Carrie-Tina wedding doesn’t happen, I am hoping it is Tina who breaks it off as she realizes her own strengths and truths and recognizing that she will probably have to wait for Bette who she truly loves, to reach her own truths, and then the journey back to each other can begin, with less resistance, less ego, more maturity, greater love- I see Bette too, reaching that conclusion as she did with Jodi, that what she had with Tina was IT!!!!!! I’m entitled to my fantasy y’all, now hoping Season 3 makes it a reality. Thanks Ash for all that you do and for inspiring thought. Some of us just get a bit too over excited☺️
Before i watch the review - I got this notification early yesterday, and when I saw the title "Dani & Gigi's first fight..." - my heart sank.... 😆. Clearly, it shouldn't have 😉
I think Bette needs to sing that song Whitney Houston sang in the bodyguard to Tina!! “And I will always love you” And go into the sunset with Pippa!!!
Wow...wow...wow. How can there be one left! I knew it. Bette always does that. She is in a healthy relationship and then Tina comes back into play. I liked her with Pippa🤣
The Shane line is going to be either Bette about Pippa or Tina about Carrie...I think only small chance it could be Finley about Sophie. I thought it was cute that Uncle Shane and Auntie Alice came to the rescue with Angie. And they both brought booze to the prom party. LOL. Alice was SO adorable when they were talking about Shane and Tess...Alice makes the show for me. I have always adored her. I was pretty sure that Angie would NOT be donating to her donor but I did not expect the end to be like that. I really feel for Angie. BUT, he was NOT her parent, but I do understand wanting to know where you come from. Being adopted, I get it. Although I did not find out until I was in my early 20's that I was adopted, the main thing I wondered about my siblings. I knew I had 5 older siblings, and being an only child, I wanted to know what it was like to have a sibling, so I hope Angie will stay close to her bio sibling. I think it is very interesting that Jordan is adopted, and her character is going through finding bio family. I wonder if it was harder or easier for the actress to take the journey as Angie. I know that is personal, but because I am going through getting to know my bio fam, I feel connected to Angie's story this season. My thoughts when Tina says Bette did not fight hard enough...I think this was very hard for Bette because she is the non-bio parent. SO...we knew they were interrupted. I agree, I think Bette was going to say that she will always think of Tina as family, so she will always love each other. Tina gave her her child, there will always be love. This was my fav episode. The scenes at Bette's were like we were transported back in time. Alice being bubbly and I just love how they were all taking about Shane and Shane and Tess show up and Alice it like :oh, she knows" and Shane had this look like "what the hell are you talking about." The Eeyore comment was SPOT ON. The 4 of them back together, talking, but not really in complete sentences, but they know each other so well, they knew what was being said...I know LH has only come back because she loves the show and the cast, but I wish we had her more. There is a different tone with the 4 of them...it's like a puzzle piece is missing when she isn't there. The only person I really miss is Kit (I miss Dana too, but she was only in 3 seasons.) Angie reminds me of Kit. I can't believe only one more epi then a long wait...What am I going to do. I will have no lesbians to watch and I will miss the TH-cam. I don't think I can binge Station 19, and since there are so many crossovers with Greys, and I am still angry at that damn show. It broke my heart when Arizona lost her leg and I thought the who show went to hell. We got teased with Callie and Arizona getting close, then BAM...(I know its a TV show, but I swear, I could recite every line those two said to each other....) Oh, I need to find another show. Need to get the VPN, so I can watch Vigil....
Question for marja: Did you watch all of the old l word seasons to prepare yourself with running gen q and what is your approach to running this show in order to keep the core l word magic?
“ I am happy for you.” What I hope Bette tells her: “I’ve moved on. I kissed Pippa right in front of you. You know how she was someone I’ve admired deeply long before I ever met you. She gets me and doesn’t run hot and cold the way you always do. You divorced me, remember? You only ask me that because you see me with Pippa.”
Another good episode... For me, seeing Tina jealous over Better and Pipa was the highlight of the episode.. I knew that Bette wouldn't accept that she loved Tina but I am happy that she didn't get to deny it.. I could feel chemistry between Bette and Tina.. Something I always long for. Something that always keep my interest in the show.. I know they won't be together in this season but I am not letting my hopes die. Now about my another fav couple Gigi and Dani.. No need to say they both look fantastic... I especially liked when Gigi came forward to check Finley when she was approaching towards Dani.. Gigi is so protective, I like this feature of her.. I just hope maker won't part them as they did with my TiBette
My favorite one so far for sure! Loved the OG scenes and of course Bette and Tina! I already tweeted yesterday… I am afraid that Shane will tell the famous sentence to Tina about Carrie!!!! Currently this is the only thing which makes sense to me! Unfortunately 😭😭😭 At least we got that Tibette hug! Gosh are they both fucking blind??? It’s so obvious they both love each other!!!!
Tamara Pfister Feel exactly the same! How do they not know the other still is in love with them, especially Tina not realizing how Bette feels!?! Bette wears her feeling on her face for Tina, and for Carrie!! Ash, thanks for a great review of Ep. 9!! Loved loved this episode! It was MAGICAL!!
I wanna see mode GiNi cuddles, laughter, banter, being sneaky everything they can be...why can’t we have healthy representation on screen for longer duration? The OG stars can be background extras, sophie can die - cannot emote and non-supportive partner - don't feel Pippa at all - seems like arm candy......we can fit 10-15mins of GiNi in 50min episode.
Loved listening to this. Loved the GiNi scenes although I don’t understand why they would choose to eat, talk, or work, when they could just be in Bed ALL day and make some magic. the honeymoon period can't be that short. Sigh. Anyway - your take on Bette and everything you said about the OGs was fabulous and just spot on. This is my favourite episide too. It spoke to the heart. Looking forward to your podcast! Love from India. ♥
This was a really good episode. I am not sure what will happen with the whole situation with Tina. I hope they don’t just drag Pippa in just to push Bette and Tina together. I thought Tina was doing too much. Like how can you say why you did not press more for meeting a man that is dying wife. I am looking forward to the last episode so I can get more closer on this season.
I agree with this. How can u push back on a wife who is suffering? This is y i dnt think she was talking about fighting for Angie. That was about Tina herself Bette should have fought harder for her family.
@@buddahstar8 Great take on Tina's statement. Thought when Tina said it was not like her to be so harsh about a dieing man's wish. Your assessment makes sense!
I hope they give Gigi more screentime next season. As for Gini I bet Dani is gonna ask for some time to be single since she said that thing about Gigi being the only person she has
Gia Ro I don't think Dani wants to let go of Gigi, she is just nervous because they're relationship works so well. Dani was always having her ups and downs with her father and Sophie.
Thank You Ash for the update. I hope Finley gets the help she needs. I did feel for Sophie when she was over at Dani's. Loved the the OGs being all together finally. Bette and Tina I don't know. When Bette said I think we should go back. I think Tina was thinking that Bette meant get back together. I think Tina is jealous of Pippa, but I don't think her jealousy is as bad as how much Carrie really irritates Bette. We'll just have to find out next week.
hahaha. I was surprised too. coz when i checked the sched. it should be on Oct. 4. Oh, atleast i got some teasers and my heart won't explode. Hehehe. I'll be waiting though
I was leaning towards it being Bette, that Shane was talking about, but I do think Tess told Tina, and that is why Tess, and Shane are arguing in the trailer for episode 10. Tina is blaming Bette for Carrie leaving, so I think as much as it is going to break my poor little Tibette heart, I thinkTina is going to go after Carrie. This will be our cliffhanger until next year with Bette, and Tina.😥😭😥
Rosanny gave us simply the greatest performance of this show (and i mean it) in that last scene. Every choice made for that was so well thought, so on point. She let herself literally be dragged into finley’s energy, sophie becomes just a blur of emotions: all the love, the hurt, the frustration, the sense of losing control, of despair, the need to care. And about finley going to dani’s house, when i first watched the scene i was like “this is so out of context, why did she do that?” but then i gave it some thought and came to the conclusion: that just explicits her self deprecation. She goes where people tell her exactly what she thinks of herself, that she’s a bad person and does bad things. And, in my interpretation, she does that for two reasons, one: to get the “validation” that she’s indeed bad and two: so she can stop punishing herself and let another person do it
@@jagti7260 yes yes yes! Rosanny is great, no doubt, i just don’t care about sophie lol but seeing her through that light was a brand new character for me!
Tina & Bette always and forever, my favorite couple in every way! I’m hopeful for Tibette as endgame, but I doubt that will happen in season 2. I agree Ash, both have exhibited positive growth, both seem to be as emotionally connected as ever with all the ingredients for “forever-ness”, and they are interesting together! They have a dynamic that none of the other couples have. So what was Bette about to say? I agree with the way you put it, Ash. I think Bette would express positive feelings for Tina, but I believe at the moment she. Is sidetracked by her infatuation with Pippa, similar to how she felt about Jodi. Remembering when Tina asked her if she was in love with Jodi, Bette said that she was. I believe we’re going to get some variation of those words from Bette, or a. cliffhanger on it. Tina too, up until episode 9
Bette said she always thought tina would come back. I think this was the first time tina realized that if she ever did come back that Bette might not be there waiting for her.
True. Very well said . But Bette is beautiful inside and out . Tina has always known that . I think in the first or second episode of OG . Tina says to Bette “ I’m so lucky to have you “ Tina then why the heck did you leave her
Gigi keeps hooking up with emotional unavailable women, and I want to know why lol. Bette was clearly still not over Tina when they had their first date, and Dani is fresh off of a broken engagement. I don't think Dani is ready for what Gigi might have to offer. The timing just feels doomed to me, just like it was with Bette and Nat/Alice. Just feels like Gigi gets used (and lets herself be used) by these women as they work out their own issues. The throuple might have be just as much about Nat's unresolved feelings about her sexuality as it was about the love she felt for Gigi. Then Gigi kisses Bette to distract her from her ex-wife and fiancé, which saved an otherwise terrible date. Dani goes to Gigi for their first sex scene motivated by her anger about Bette and the CAC. Now Dani says with some regret that Gigi is the only person in her life. None of that feels right. Dani is opening up more with Gigi than she did with Sophie, but she's understandably always angry because of her situation with her father, and I don't see Dani magically being able to deal with those feelings in a healthy way. So I won't be surprised if Gigi gets the brunt of Dani's frustration. I think I'm a bit tired of seeing Gigi always be the healthy one in a relationship jmo. I want to know why she keep settling for women who aren't ready for her.
I agree with all this! I love them together but I really wish we got more episodes per season or they slowed this thing down. Why not have them be close friends for this season. You know there is sexual tension there. Then come back next season they've taken some time to get to know each other. Dani's had time to heal and then they maybe get together. I don't understand why this series feels the need to rush through all these relationships. I feel like if they were just friends and Finley shows up assuming they are together that scene would have meant more. Cause they give each other a weird look. Do people not know they are dating?
I would be 50/50 with that. Gigi was really broken when Nat has broken with her. After few years she just went with the flow and learned a lot with people she hooked up. But as she met Dani, it seems that everything has finally changed since Dani was like her before when she was broken and she keeps encouraging Dani that maybe she'll love sincerely again.. I want to learn more about Gigi. About her existence, about her true past. It's just I love GIGI AND DANI TOGETHER! 🤧❤️❤️.
@@brittanymiitchell8491 As for Gini they havent said that they are together yet. Dani just said they were dating thus I think they gave each other that look. They are not official girlfriends yet. Which is why I think the last ep they will make that official and Gigi will take Dani to meet her family for the 1st time.
I just have to say, every time I see a Jennifer Beals interview, then I watch the L Word, or vice versa, I'm ROTF from the contrast of JB's quiet, calm, articulate, voice and Bette's articulate, F Bomb laced utterances.
@ash.silver Ash, when Bette broke down during Pippa's kiss. For me, Bette's emotion was to do with Kit's death, and taking down a drug opioid company. 🤔
Yep - agree - remember when Bette and Angie were hiking . Bette said something like “if she let herself grieve , then that would mean saying a final goodbye and I wasn’t ready to do that “
Anyone remeber that laurel actually said she wasnt going to do gen Q. cuz she was happy doing her art n was a successful painter but she wished all her friends luck on the series .i wonder how they got her to change her mind or what did they offer her cuz it wouldnt hav worked without unless it was both Bette n Tina they r the show
I do remember that. I think Jennifer convince her for doing some part. They are friends in real life. I would want her more in the show. I miss them, they have such a chemistry even when they are friends and family.
@@janetwatkins4981 well I will love to have her more. I do like he new characters but not as I like these 2. They are fantastic together. It gets this show to a different level. I can’t wait to see them again. Wherever they are in a fight, friends or families.
I think Bette was going to say I love you, they had such a connection moment, true love. Shane being cautious about not telling Tina what Carrie said is dangerous. Carrie has been having these feelings for quit sometime about not marrying Tina... She needs to be told. And that line,, man I have been waiting for weeks!! Weeks... I think it's Shane telling Bette. But I also think Shane spills it to Alice, cause that Plane shot of Alice,,,, I call that is Tina she is talking with. And we all know Alice has a beautiful mouth and can't keep secrets, but this isn't one you can keep.
i don't want bette and tina back together. all they do is argue and i don't see the chemistry anymore. i wish we got more of carrie and tina together so we could see what they would be like as a couple.
Your description of T & Bs dynamics is sooo true. It's amazing how so little actual screen time is enough to convey so much about their relationship. Their interaction feels so familiar as if I'd seen them regularly over the last ten years. Laurel & Jennifer are such great actors to bring across their character's chemistry. I'm in awe. I see growth in T & B as well, can guess their problems, the reasons for Tina's leaving, understand the tension, the bickering. Very realistic to what some divorcees go through while co-parenting and bringing new partners in. What else? Shane&Tess? Love them. Alice is so great when adressing biophobia in the community. Very much to the point imho. Great representation. Pippa & Bette? Yes, thank you for bringing back jealous Tina! Other than that I still don't get them. Angie: what a great performance by Jordan when Angie broke down in her room. Ti & Al: besties back!!! Few words and they're back in their twens again. So so good. I'm sure I'm gonna cry my heart out next episode - or get a heart attack ;) Love this episode so much!
I've always loved Bette even though she does mess things up & she's so gorgeous. But sometimes you could love someone with all your heart and still it doesn't work out. Ash your so cute too thanks again for your videos. 🏳️🌈🇮🇪🌹
Ok so, genuine question: How the f*ck Finley knows where Dani lives??? Dani moved when she was upset with everyone, it's not like she gave her address to anyone. Also, Dani's apartment looks freaking expensive, so it must surely be in a fancy building (with security personnel) where you just can't enter so easily and pee on the corridors or whatnot...
I'm so glad my original statement still stands, every episode gets better and better 👏. My heart is broken for Angie 💔. Which made me turn into Bette for a second and yell out "F***"!!😢
I just thought of this four days late for the video but maybe the coming attraction is that Bette told Tina whatever it was that possibly Tess told Bette or Shane told Bette in Dana‘s about what Carrie said or wherever they are and then Bette told Tina that Carrie maybe doesn’t really want to get married or doesn’t feel she can marry you and maybe that’s why Tina said this is what you wanted… And was storming out to find Carrie or some thing and Bette says sorry… maybe it is to Tina that Shane says that line of this is your chance to get her or whatever the line was about Carrie… Certainly I hope not… LOL
When am I going to learn to always have tissues on hand? Wow is right!!!! It was amazing! #Gini own me and honestly so does #Tibette whether they are a couple or not. I feel for Sophie....i hope Finley fixes herself. I had a feeling by the peephole she went to Danis....i don't know y, i just felt it. And Angie....omg her acting is stellar. As usual i could write a book. Finale next week ugh!!! I love this show soooooo much! On to season #3! XO
@@Katesnaps yeah I hope that by the end of the next episode she agrees to the rehab because she is such a lovable character when she’s doing well and away from Sophie lol
Ash..gg made a revalation she was married to a therapist..before its she had 7 brothers and hinted at her father was controlling and i wonder what her family relationship is. She so know who she is. Dani is stronger making decisions without her father, but she clearly under estimated bette!! Everytime bette was to answer tinas question, someone interrupted, so can i still hope. I like pippa, but its Tina all the way i hope please. Tess so compliments where shane is in her life now, its awesome to see.
I feel this is the best Gay Women's show. And I can't wait till the finale. This show is filled with such natural actors. Which makes it so real. I do hope it certainly continues òn to a Season 3. It would be such a shame to just close it down. I realize this has also been helpful, for other Gsy Women to finally have a show . That they can relate to. With regards to people who reflect who they are. The interesting dynamics that happen to us all throughout our lives. Just makes this show so real. That you Ash for breaking down each episode, in such a tasteful and excitable manner!!!
Wow, what a EPISODE seeing all my beloved OG together same scenes it made me cry 😢 of course? BETTE AND TINA TOGETHER in the same room OMG the CHEMISTRY is so overwhelming they still blow me away!! Poor Angie I felt so sorry for her and who came to the rescue was Uncle SHANE and Aunt Alice it was such a touching moment 😢 poor FINLEY my goodness poor thing she is going down deep in a hole she never going to come out of? How she knew were Dani lived got me? I really hope she gets some help and she takes it? DANI and GIGI THERE NOTHING but hottest 🔥!!! When BETTE and TINA went to see Marcus and he said yes they were so happy they were going to tell Angie? Then the worse thing happened he die? OMG The look on BETTE AND TINA face you couldn't imagine what was going on in there minds they both broke down in each other arms it was so beautiful again I was crying 😢 all can this episode really went through Kleenex!!! OMG THE last episode might put me in the hospital this hole season has killed me !!! Look out it's going to be Cliffhangers every were you turn 😳❤🤟
Yes Ash comes thru in clutch. You're the best reviewer of the gen q series. Whoo hoo The way you banged that table about waiting till next weeks episode was life. Lmaoo Maybe Tina wasnt talking about fighting harder for Angie Maybe she was talking about herself. Like Bette didnt fight for her to come back so thats why she believed Bette wasnt in love with her anymore. My question is: why are there no aggresive stud like lesbians on the show? And why are there no African American Studs on the show? Will this be something they are going to work towards? I never see me on tv and it sucks but we are finally getting closer. Thx u Ash you're really the best.
@@sirlancelot6672 Stem maybe but never really saw her as a Stud. I think Rosie/Carrie is the 1st stud tho. Just looking for more than 1 or 2 tho. But I can kinda agree with your statement cause we never really got into Tasha's character fully so you might be correct.
I risk incurring the wrath of Tibette fans, I myself adore Bette and Tina together, but honestly, guys, Tina made her choice. She left Bette because she didn't feel like a whole person, but only half... Then she fell in love with Kerry. What has changed? In the world of L-word, 3 years have passed since Tina left. Before that, they had been together for more than 20 years. Bette suffered for a long time after Tina left. And when she finally accepted that Tina would be happy with someone else, when Bette finally decided that she should continue to build her life with someone else... It was then that Tina decided to hit the patient and ask "do you still love me?" isn't this a selfish act? What else should Bette do? I think that in the next episode Kerry herself admits to Tina that she is not ready to marry her. And guess what happens next? Tina will blame Bette for everything! And she will say that you have achieved your goal. Although Bette is absolutely not to blame for Kerry: Kerry's doubts are her baggage, her complexes and her problems. And I really think that for Bette at the moment, Pippa's support is much more necessary and useful than clarifying the relationship with Tina. Tina needs to sort herself out. Bette didn't fight for Tina because she respected her decision. So give Bette the opportunity to fight for herself and be happy. If Pippa is making Bette happy at the moment and Tina is making Bette unhappy, I want Bette to be happy. No matter who Bette stays with, I want her to be happy.
All Tina truly wanted was to have equality in her relationship with Bette. Not sure why everyone vilifies her for that. She just wants to be in an equal partnership. Tina isnt the one who needs to sort herself out..Bette does. If Bette softens and accepts an equal, Tina would be there in a minute.
@@chrisb1863 I'm not sure that's how it works. I don't blame Tina for leaving. She did what she thought was best for her. She is what she is. Next to Bette, she gets smaller herself, and it's not Bette's fault. And Bette is who she is. She's not trying to specifically suppress Tina. What can be changed here? Tina has always loved Bette for who she is and has never tried to change her. And Bette naturally has the power to change people. Everyone notices it. This is Bette's strength, but in Tina's case, this is her trouble. I think that's why Bette let Tina go and isn't fighting for her. Bette loves Tina so much that she's ready to let go. After all, you can't change yourself. We can correct some of our actions, but we cannot change who we are.
I am incredibly tired of the Bette and Tina dynamic. Especially if one actress isn’t available and the other is (so that putting them together gives JB much less to do on the romantic front), I’m beyond exhausted of them rehashing the same toxic dynamic over and over again.
hoping that having a more scene for bette and tina..they really made us crazy for them .i so really excited to hear again the words that ..I AM STILL INLOVE WITH YOU TINA !😍😍..SAME WITH TINA ALSO TO HEAR THAT SHE ALSO STILL IN LOVE BETTE .THATNEVER EVER CHANGE THE FEELING THEY HAVE..Im so really excited in SEASON 3.. TBETTE TOGETEHR
Oh the whole cufflinks thing! How to hurt Bette Porter (aka Cufflink Queen) the most? Borrow cufflinks from Carrie... Watching this episode I went through every single emotion... Wow! Never happened to me before 🙄
Dani and Gigi are such a cute couple… they have really built their relationship slowly which Dani needed after sophie… i think she trusts gigi.. and loves her .. but Dani is still fragile.. stay by her side Gigi!
People and things I need to know about in season 3: Shanes Dog (whats his/her name) James? Max and the baby? Shay? Howie ? Lisa? Tasha? Nikki? David ? Helena? Helena's kids? Dylan? Peggy? Random Appearance from Nadia? (Aka Arrizona) Who kept the negatives to Jennys movie? Whos gonna inherit Marcus's fortune once he's dead? Will Angie get $ Who is Mona what does she look like? Whats Gigi dad like? At what point did Shane change enuff to get married? And say to Tess She wants to be her partner. What happened to Finley at chruch? Why did her sis not tell her about the wedding? Why did her Dad get off the phone when the Mom came in? Does Fins Mom not dig the fact that she's a Lez? Where are Jordi's parents? Who is Dani without her Dad/his money? Where are all the Studs in LA do they not exist? Did Bette get a fine for pushing the husband down the stairs? Soooo many questions so little answers and only 1 more to go. Ahhhhhhhhhh so sad and excited at the same time. I love this show
With a stunt double needed for Finley in the finale.. i hope she’s not going to drive drunk and roll the vehicle, gets charged again does jail time and then is mandated to a alcoholic addiction program. This could be when she hits rock bottom 😳
It is really good to see Gigi set boundaries with Dani. She told Dani what she likes and dislikes and Dani is starting to do the same. The communication in this relationship is so refreshing.
Also I legit cried when Dani and Gigi were hugging and talking because this is the first healthy relationship we’ve had on the show and it just made me so emotional lol
I felt thaaaaaat! That hug is soooo comforting and the way Dani sniffed on Gigi while hugging! Oh myyyyy! So waaaarm! 🤧❤️❤️❤️❤️
" I'm actually stuck in some traffic "
" So, you lied? "
" I mean, I'm sure there was traffic.. " THE AUDACITY!!😂🤣
Gigi knows how to draw Dani out of her shell. How the hell does Finley get into Dani’s building let alone know where her apartment is located? What’s up with her peeing in the hallway?
Love seeing the 4 OG’s in the same scene. Best scene Bette introducing Pippa to Tina. Note: people with end stage renal failure awaiting a transplant would have been on dialysis.
Deni was being a little cute jerk, and Gigi wouldn't let her get away with it. Such a cute couple.
@@margeferguson8145 someone said Finley followed the movers to try and get back the red pepper! 😆
It was traffic for sure! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Gigi be like that might have worked for Sophie but not for me.
I really wish Laural Holloman is available to do the whole next season. We need Tina & Bette to really lay everything on the table all the hurt & anger. The highs and lows. Maybe then they’ll be able to find peace.
and move on with others
Yes, spot-on! Honestly, lay everything out on that table. Leave nothing unsaid that each feel. Only then will they be able to move on together, or move on apart.
@@tinker.bella1968 true
I too wish so.. Nothing moves me as much as TiBette scenes.. I want them to find a to each other.. Coz they belong together
What a great comment!
Jb and laurel chemistry is still alive..the tension..the most tibette episode so far
Gigi is the person you'd like to have in your life, very supportive, believes in you whenever you are doubting yourself, and her patience is just unbelievable. She can make people around her better. I want gigi to be happy, she deserves it!!!
It's too bad that never happened
GiNi lives rent free in my mind and colonizes my heart. At this point I can watch them braid each other for an entire season. Felt like a century passed waiting for a new episode. Let them be Endgame without any stupid cliffhanger😭🤧
Best comment ever.
That comment is golden. 🙌
Lol same here. And GG stands up for herself. I love them so much 🔥👏🏿
Yes pleeeeease! Even if they just talk and hug for the whoole next episodes, i so love them!
GINI!!!
Bette's face after Tina's question... is just too interesting
Bette´s face tell it all. She is wondering that´s why she is so mean to Carrie. She´s in love with Tina and want´s her back so badly. So I hope.
@@sandypeper8174 I think Bette would rather see Tina alone and miserable than be with anyone else besides her.
@@foff2246 if you saw the teaser of episode 10 is possible that Tina ends up alone and Bette will be with Pippa. Like in the end of season 4 of OG: Bette stayed with Jodie and Tina was alone. This storylines suck to me. Are not good. So much drama and pain for Bette and Tina. When it will be enought?
@@sandypeper8174 I agree, that might happen so they have storyline for season 3 should they renew it. Also, I dont know why they always portray lesbian relationships as toxic LOL. The only couple currently who seems to have their shit together is GiNi (until further notice)
@@NDRoque You are right! I don´t understand the need of such drama and suffering in the relationships.
I just wanted to add that Bette’s face said so much after Tina asked her the question. Her love for Tina is still there!
It was wonderful to have the OG crew back together. Their chemistry is so great together as you commented on. They know each other so well. Uncle Shane and Alice are so good with Angie in getting her grounded again with their honesty of the situation. Jordi brought Angie back in pointing out that she was angry with her donor. Poignant moment.
I loved your perceptions regarding Bette and Tina. Spot on.
Next episode is going to have so many cliff hangers. Here we are again, waiting on Showtime to let us know what going on. They drive me crazy!
Love Uncle Shane and Aunt Alice being there for Angie.......PS, everyone goes to Alice's place when they have nowhere to go in the OGs, Tina, Dana, Helena, even Phyllis' husband. LOL
Lol! Good memory 😄
Agree! Best episode of the season!! Having the 4 OG together did feel electric! I just love having Tina back, her character just adds something an is so missable when not in episodes!
I think you're spot on with the growth of Tina and Bette. I agree they may be able to come together now.
I hope so, I love Tibette, only if they’re healthy!!!
Thank you so much for making these review videos! I love your reaction to 'Having to effing wait another effing week!"
*doesn't even want to think about the cliff hanger they will make us endure at the end of the season and having to wait an effing year!* 😀
Love seeing Dani let her walls down with Gigi. They are so cute 🥰 And idk why I had a feeling that Finley was gonna be going to Dani’s apartment when I saw her in the hallway. I really hope that girl gets some help. Also I feel like that “sorry” from Sophie was about more than just Finley showing up at Dani’s apartment.
Tina is definitely jealous of Bette and Pippa but idk if I’m feeling that cause I don’t want TiBette to just end up in the same loop of breaking up and then realizing they’re still in love while they’re with other people.
And idk if I was misinterpreting the family convo but didn’t Maribel’s mom ask if “he knows about the work thing” so I wonder if that means that Maribel is gonna be moving away or something
Omg Maribel is moving
I agree, this was my favorite episode of Gen Q so far! Having Bette, Tina, Alice and Shane in so many scenes together made my heart so happy. Don't even get me started on TiBette. It was like Laurel was a main cast member again. Alice finally admitting that she was dating Tom made me smile so big. Finley was a steaming hot mess and I appreciate how raw and realistic it was. Gigi once again reminding us why she's the perfect girlfriend. Everything about it was perfect. I can't wait for the finale 🖤
They ruined GINI!
The more I think about how tina asked Bette if she was still in love with her. I just get more and more frustrated . Like tina broke Bette’s heart by leaving . Let’s just assume Bette loved tina so much that she let tina go so she can “find herself “ . And let’s say tina has found herself . She should break it off with carrie and get her “first last and forever “ back .
But the fact that tina said yes to Carrie’s proposal and asked Bette if she was still in love with her . Just grinds my gears
Episode 209 is spectacular!! Loved everything about 209!! My favorite! The screen was sparkling with Jennifer and Laurel chemistry as Tina and Bette! The highlight was the OG Fab 4 being all together again, too!!
Ash you are really bursting with excitement! Which makes the video special and enjoyable. I'm glued to every detail, and very appreciative for all the effort you put into bringing the trailers to us. I've watched every episode so far. Episode 5, 7 and 8 are my favorite so far. I will watch episode 9 on Sunday night. So once again thanks for the update and a wonderful, devoted year of Postings. 🙏👍💕
The scene where Marcus was dying made me think of Danas death timeline. They were showing what Angie was doing at the exact time he was dying. My heart was breaking even though Angie was so very happy with Jordi.
Me too 😭
Yes that was a deep scene. And the way Bette and Tina consoled eachother was touching.
@@ladynoir3603 yes it was. Without Marcus , Angie wouldn't exist. I need to buy more tissues.
Gini's hug was adorable!
I love Angie! When she said to Alice ''Nobody cares..'' it's so true! This season Alice's story is terrible! Please, next season give Alice a better storyline...
Angelica Porter-Kennard is the best!
Also, poor Finley, they must really help her.
Dani is worried about Sophie. In the mist of someone hurting you that you clearly love you do not want to see that person hurt. There’s still one episode left. Let’s see if Dani reaches out to Sophie.
In TLW Gen Q everyone get hurts or causes some pain. The drama is why viewers continue to watch. Loved Tina this episode. Very nostalgic having her present and a lot of screen time.
I definitely think they will connect
@@jagti7260 Me too especially since Sophie knows where Dani lives now she might show and say I think I made a mistake .
Yes it was magnificent Ash
Loved the awesome TiBette scenes.
Bette will tell Tina she loves her❤️🌹🌹
Great review Ash! I really have no clue as to what Bette will do. I think if Bette hadn’t met Pippa, Bette would tell Tina she still loved her. Bette does have a connection with Pippa and she’s still hurt that Tina left her AGAIN! Having said that Tina is the love of her life. I though Bette made an effect to be nice to Carrie at the poker game. Once Carrie kept pushing her Bette ended up being an ass at the end. I give her credit for trying but you can’t push Bette Porter around.
Bette gave her an out, she didn't take it, Shane told her to take it slow, she didn't, she pushed Bette for the truth, she got it, she kept pushing Bette and got the hard truth,
I agree with you, I also had that special feeling when the OGs were all acting together again, their group dynamic was so refreshing and funny to watch, I just loved it! Especially the liquor scene with Alice was hilarious haha
It's funny, because I can't imagine Bette being a goody two shoes during prom.
If we get a season three I need to know the circumstances of Gigi's infidelity! This woman is so perfect...how?
Exactly what does Mona look like to have Gigi cheat on Nat in front of the baby. Eli's a snitch baby lmaoooo
@@buddahstar8 yes, who is this Mona?
The hand gesture of Gigi in the breakfast scene is too cute. I can't handle it. I mean Sepideh puts so much efforts on those details. I want to cry every time i re-watch the line "Do you want to hurt me? What you're doing is hurtful". But then i melt with the line "if you don't push me away, i'll always hold you". Gigi definitely is the most perfect and supportive lover in this season. Gigi's always there for Dani since 203. And Gigi brings us to see the other side of Dani. I love the contrast that how tough Dani looks in the suit with her hairs tied up and then she falls in Gigi's arms.
And i have to say that i never forgot how Bette treated Gigi in those horrible ways in previous episode but i actually love all Tibette scene in this episode. It reminds me lots of beautiful moments of the OG.
Although I just concern what's going on with GINI, I'm curious why Finley turned up at Dani's house and what her intention is.
Thank you so much for your reviews. It really made my day!
You know what I caught the 2nd I watched the episode , when Tina and Bette were at the hospital 2nd time . Before Tina asks Bette if she is still in love with her . You see that Bette is looking at Tina , while her head is not facing Bette . And then Tina catches it ( like how Carrie said at 2.1 , Bette is always looking at Tina ) that’s when she asks bette if she is still in love with her
Thanks for giving me an excuse to watch it again lmaoooo
@@buddahstar8 anytime - there is never not a reason to rewatch episodes of OG show and genq
@@ashleygrimme5903 Facts 🎯
@@buddahstar8 also watch OG show season 4 ep 8 about 19min mark -
And then rewatch that scene at the hospital that we talked about
I think tina saw how Bette was looking at her . And knew Bette was still in love with her . That’s why tina asked Bette if she was
@@ashleygrimme5903 Going now
My favorite episode so far this season. I just love Bette. And Tina. But I am also like Pippa and Bette. Love-is complicated. This is my favorite show and I am straight. I just love the friendships and the love connections!!
Lor. ME, TOO!
I like seeing all of the OGs together and interacting. It reminds me of why i loved the L word in the first place'
When Bette says “I think we should go back..” Tina, just for a second, gives a look like ..”is Bette talking about US going back?” Ash didn’t commit on this, but I thought it was very obvious…
of course she did
Not until the next podcast
Great, great review. I am not going to make a long comment because my heart still crushed from last night. I laughed and I cried throughout the episode. I loved ep 209, this is definitely my favorite of all. The writers did a fenomenal job writing it.
Also thank you for such a great review. And yes, I also agree with you, we have to wait another “fucking” week 😂😭🥰😂
The OG’s make the show!!!
Tina bring in the episodes make a big difference…. I totally miss her when she’s not in an episode…
What would’ve been great is if Bette was going to say I will always love you Tina but you’re in love with Carrie, right? Just like Tina did with her when it came to Jodie and look what happened with that in the end… Somehow someway the writers will be smart enough to put them back together again… I don’t feel they’re going to let down thousands of their fans… But they’re just going drag it out forever before they do it…
I can’t help thinking about how someone said that somewhere Jennifer Beals answered someone’s rant about Tibette getting back together again and she answered in one word that said patience…
So once again after waiting six years very patiently… We’re all waiting again very patiently… LOL
I so agree with you.
I really miss Tina.
Without Bette and Tina, I don’t find it so good.
I wish that Tina come on the show permanently, just them being together as friend makes my heart jump.
They have such a chemistry.
I really want them to be back together.
But not sure if this will happen.
Check out the Pants podcast with Tasha/ Rose. After that I think you will regain hope for Tibette.
@@buddahstar8 could you give me the link please.
@@buddahstar8
I listened to that pants podcast before while I was doing some things and basically it’s just the last minute of it when Rose Rollins asks if Tina and Bette are totally back on together, and Kate and Leisha started laughing saying this is public another words word she cannot ask them a question like that because they can’t answer that it would be a spoiler… And they recorded that a few months ago… So I don’t know if that meant anything positive for Bette and Tina but I think everyone knows in the end whenever the show is officially going to end at that point they’ll probably have them back together again as long as Laurel continues to come on the show…
@@RC-dk7hl Yes but I took it as they already spoke outside of the podcast and told her and shes likes whats up are they full on back together yet? Specifically the yet statement. So I took it as Leisha telling Rose to shut up b4 they get in trouble for spilling the beans. Well thats How I took it anyway.
Thank you SO MUCH Ash, uploaded so fast and great to be able to follow the story so soon as it was aired..
……..for me, Tina lived in a cloud somewhere re: her relationship with Carrie and now in ep9 the door has opened and in blows reality, complexity, new truths, confusion, and Bette. Does the cloud lift for Tina, does she realize maybe she doesn’t need soft pillow Carrie and that kind of comfort? If the Carrie-Tina wedding doesn’t happen, I am hoping it is Tina who breaks it off as she realizes her own strengths and truths and recognizing that she will probably have to wait for Bette who she truly loves, to reach her own truths, and then the journey back to each other can begin, with less resistance, less ego, more maturity, greater love- I see Bette too, reaching that conclusion as she did with Jodi, that what she had with Tina was IT!!!!!! I’m entitled to my fantasy y’all, now hoping Season 3 makes it a reality. Thanks Ash for all that you do and for inspiring thought. Some of us just get a bit too over excited☺️
This is true.
Before i watch the review - I got this notification early yesterday, and when I saw the title "Dani & Gigi's first fight..." - my heart sank.... 😆. Clearly, it shouldn't have 😉
I think Bette will tell Tina that she will always love her. She is Angie's mom, their daughter that Bette love so much.
I think Bette needs to sing that song Whitney Houston sang in the bodyguard to Tina!! “And I will always love you”
And go into the sunset with Pippa!!!
Absolutely think this is your best re-cap. Love you show.
Wow...wow...wow. How can there be one left!
I knew it. Bette always does that. She is in a healthy relationship and then Tina comes back into play.
I liked her with Pippa🤣
She needs to put a stop to Tina's interfering
The Shane line is going to be either Bette about Pippa or Tina about Carrie...I think only small chance it could be Finley about Sophie. I thought it was cute that Uncle Shane and Auntie Alice came to the rescue with Angie. And they both brought booze to the prom party. LOL. Alice was SO adorable when they were talking about Shane and Tess...Alice makes the show for me. I have always adored her. I was pretty sure that Angie would NOT be donating to her donor but I did not expect the end to be like that. I really feel for Angie. BUT, he was NOT her parent, but I do understand wanting to know where you come from. Being adopted, I get it. Although I did not find out until I was in my early 20's that I was adopted, the main thing I wondered about my siblings. I knew I had 5 older siblings, and being an only child, I wanted to know what it was like to have a sibling, so I hope Angie will stay close to her bio sibling. I think it is very interesting that Jordan is adopted, and her character is going through finding bio family. I wonder if it was harder or easier for the actress to take the journey as Angie. I know that is personal, but because I am going through getting to know my bio fam, I feel connected to Angie's story this season. My thoughts when Tina says Bette did not fight hard enough...I think this was very hard for Bette because she is the non-bio parent. SO...we knew they were interrupted. I agree, I think Bette was going to say that she will always think of Tina as family, so she will always love each other. Tina gave her her child, there will always be love. This was my fav episode. The scenes at Bette's were like we were transported back in time. Alice being bubbly and I just love how they were all taking about Shane and Shane and Tess show up and Alice it like :oh, she knows" and Shane had this look like "what the hell are you talking about." The Eeyore comment was SPOT ON. The 4 of them back together, talking, but not really in complete sentences, but they know each other so well, they knew what was being said...I know LH has only come back because she loves the show and the cast, but I wish we had her more. There is a different tone with the 4 of them...it's like a puzzle piece is missing when she isn't there. The only person I really miss is Kit (I miss Dana too, but she was only in 3 seasons.) Angie reminds me of Kit. I can't believe only one more epi then a long wait...What am I going to do. I will have no lesbians to watch and I will miss the TH-cam. I don't think I can binge Station 19, and since there are so many crossovers with Greys, and I am still angry at that damn show. It broke my heart when Arizona lost her leg and I thought the who show went to hell. We got teased with Callie and Arizona getting close, then BAM...(I know its a TV show, but I swear, I could recite every line those two said to each other....) Oh, I need to find another show. Need to get the VPN, so I can watch Vigil....
I think she's saying it to carrie about tina.
Vigil is sooooo good. I‘m on Episode 3 Right now
I don’t know which come on first next year. Gentleman Jack, season 2 or Gen Q season 3.
Loved all the Tina scenes. Good to see lots of OG scenes
Question for marja: Did you watch all of the old l word seasons to prepare yourself with running gen q and what is your approach to running this show in order to keep the core l word magic?
And, how will the inconsistencies be corrected and eliminated moving forward?
“ I am happy for you.” What I hope Bette tells her: “I’ve moved on. I kissed Pippa right in front of you. You know how she was someone I’ve admired deeply long before I ever met you. She gets me and doesn’t run hot and cold the way you always do. You divorced me, remember? You only ask me that because you see me with Pippa.”
Another good episode... For me, seeing Tina jealous over Better and Pipa was the highlight of the episode.. I knew that Bette wouldn't accept that she loved Tina but I am happy that she didn't get to deny it.. I could feel chemistry between Bette and Tina.. Something I always long for. Something that always keep my interest in the show.. I know they won't be together in this season but I am not letting my hopes die.
Now about my another fav couple Gigi and Dani.. No need to say they both look fantastic... I especially liked when Gigi came forward to check Finley when she was approaching towards Dani.. Gigi is so protective, I like this feature of her.. I just hope maker won't part them as they did with my TiBette
Yeeeees! Pleeeease! Giniiiii! 🤧❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am all for GiNi but always TiBette first ❤
Yes same here Tibette always with my new fave Gini❤️🔥
My favorite one so far for sure! Loved the OG scenes and of course Bette and Tina! I already tweeted yesterday… I am afraid that Shane will tell the famous sentence to Tina about Carrie!!!! Currently this is the only thing which makes sense to me! Unfortunately 😭😭😭
At least we got that Tibette hug! Gosh are they both fucking blind??? It’s so obvious they both love each other!!!!
Tamara Pfister Feel exactly the same! How do they not know the other still is in love with them, especially Tina not realizing how Bette feels!?! Bette wears her feeling on her face for Tina, and for Carrie!!
Ash, thanks for a great review of Ep. 9!! Loved loved this episode! It was MAGICAL!!
I wanna see mode GiNi cuddles, laughter, banter, being sneaky everything they can be...why can’t we have healthy representation on screen for longer duration? The OG stars can be background extras, sophie can die - cannot emote and non-supportive partner - don't feel Pippa at all - seems like arm candy......we can fit 10-15mins of GiNi in 50min episode.
Can not agree more.....Plus, how the F Finley knew where's Deni's new apart at when she was that drunk....
@@carmenw7549 how does she know where Dani lives at all???
@@carmenw7549 yeah how she knows - hope this does not bring trouble in GiNi paradise babysitting Sophie and Finley - Sophie is a disaster as a partner
Auuuuugh! GINIIIIII! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤧
In total agreement!
Loved listening to this. Loved the GiNi scenes although I don’t understand why they would choose to eat, talk, or work, when they could just be in Bed ALL day and make some magic. the honeymoon period can't be that short.
Sigh.
Anyway - your take on Bette and everything you said about the OGs was fabulous and just spot on. This is my favourite episide too. It spoke to the heart. Looking forward to your podcast!
Love from India.
♥
This was a really good episode. I am not sure what will happen with the whole situation with Tina. I hope they don’t just drag Pippa in just to push Bette and Tina together. I thought Tina was doing too much. Like how can you say why you did not press more for meeting a man that is dying wife. I am looking forward to the last episode so I can get more closer on this season.
I agree with this. How can u push back on a wife who is suffering? This is y i dnt think she was talking about fighting for Angie. That was about Tina herself Bette should have fought harder for her family.
@@buddahstar8 Great take on Tina's statement. Thought when Tina said it was not like her to be so harsh about a dieing man's wish. Your assessment makes sense!
Your face lights up my screen. Your smile is amazing. Thank you so much for this video 🥰🥰
I hope they give Gigi more screentime next season. As for Gini I bet Dani is gonna ask for some time to be single since she said that thing about Gigi being the only person she has
Gia Ro I don't think Dani wants to let go of Gigi, she is just nervous because they're relationship works so well. Dani was always having her ups and downs with her father and Sophie.
Thank You Ash for the update. I hope Finley gets the help she needs. I did feel for Sophie when she was over at Dani's. Loved the the OGs being all together finally. Bette and Tina I don't know. When Bette said I think we should go back. I think Tina was thinking that Bette meant get back together. I think Tina is jealous of Pippa, but I don't think her jealousy is as bad as how much Carrie really irritates Bette. We'll just have to find out next week.
Gini all the way! ❤️
How have you seen this already!?! In Canada, I hae to wait for Sunday night.
hahaha. I was surprised too. coz when i checked the sched. it should be on Oct. 4. Oh, atleast i got some teasers and my heart won't explode. Hehehe. I'll be waiting though
This was also my fav episode! Love the OG together.
All of a sudden ai have this sinking feeling that Shane’s line about winning her back could be directed at Carrie😢😢
I was leaning towards it being Bette, that Shane was talking about, but I do think Tess told Tina, and that is why Tess, and Shane are arguing in the trailer for episode 10. Tina is blaming Bette for Carrie leaving, so I think as much as it is going to break my poor little Tibette heart, I thinkTina is going to go after Carrie. This will be our cliffhanger until next year with Bette, and Tina.😥😭😥
Rosanny gave us simply the greatest performance of this show (and i mean it) in that last scene. Every choice made for that was so well thought, so on point. She let herself literally be dragged into finley’s energy, sophie becomes just a blur of emotions: all the love, the hurt, the frustration, the sense of losing control, of despair, the need to care.
And about finley going to dani’s house, when i first watched the scene i was like “this is so out of context, why did she do that?” but then i gave it some thought and came to the conclusion: that just explicits her self deprecation. She goes where people tell her exactly what she thinks of herself, that she’s a bad person and does bad things. And, in my interpretation, she does that for two reasons, one: to get the “validation” that she’s indeed bad and two: so she can stop punishing herself and let another person do it
Sorry it’s so long lol but i really wanted to share that
I know a lot of people don't care for Sophie, but I have to give Rosanny her props. This is my favorite episode of hers.
@@jagti7260 yes yes yes! Rosanny is great, no doubt, i just don’t care about sophie lol but seeing her through that light was a brand new character for me!
Tina & Bette always and forever, my favorite couple in every way! I’m hopeful for Tibette as endgame, but I doubt that will happen in season 2. I agree Ash, both have exhibited positive growth, both seem to be as emotionally connected as ever with all the ingredients for “forever-ness”, and they are interesting together! They have a dynamic that none of the other couples have. So what was Bette about to say? I agree with the way you put it, Ash. I think Bette would express positive feelings for Tina, but I believe at the moment she. Is sidetracked by her infatuation with Pippa, similar to how she felt about Jodi. Remembering when Tina asked her if she was in love with Jodi, Bette said that she was. I believe we’re going to get some variation of those words from Bette, or a. cliffhanger on it. Tina too, up until episode 9
Bette said she always thought tina would come back. I think this was the first time tina realized that if she ever did come back that Bette might not be there waiting for her.
True. Very well said . But Bette is beautiful inside and out . Tina has always known that . I think in the first or second episode of OG . Tina says to Bette “ I’m so lucky to have you “
Tina then why the heck did you leave her
Gigi keeps hooking up with emotional unavailable women, and I want to know why lol. Bette was clearly still not over Tina when they had their first date, and Dani is fresh off of a broken engagement. I don't think Dani is ready for what Gigi might have to offer. The timing just feels doomed to me, just like it was with Bette and Nat/Alice. Just feels like Gigi gets used (and lets herself be used) by these women as they work out their own issues. The throuple might have be just as much about Nat's unresolved feelings about her sexuality as it was about the love she felt for Gigi. Then Gigi kisses Bette to distract her from her ex-wife and fiancé, which saved an otherwise terrible date. Dani goes to Gigi for their first sex scene motivated by her anger about Bette and the CAC. Now Dani says with some regret that Gigi is the only person in her life. None of that feels right. Dani is opening up more with Gigi than she did with Sophie, but she's understandably always angry because of her situation with her father, and I don't see Dani magically being able to deal with those feelings in a healthy way. So I won't be surprised if Gigi gets the brunt of Dani's frustration. I think I'm a bit tired of seeing Gigi always be the healthy one in a relationship jmo. I want to know why she keep settling for women who aren't ready for her.
I agree with all this! I love them together but I really wish we got more episodes per season or they slowed this thing down. Why not have them be close friends for this season. You know there is sexual tension there. Then come back next season they've taken some time to get to know each other. Dani's had time to heal and then they maybe get together. I don't understand why this series feels the need to rush through all these relationships. I feel like if they were just friends and Finley shows up assuming they are together that scene would have meant more. Cause they give each other a weird look. Do people not know they are dating?
A very good observation, they come to Gigi with their baggages.
I would be 50/50 with that. Gigi was really broken when Nat has broken with her. After few years she just went with the flow and learned a lot with people she hooked up. But as she met Dani, it seems that everything has finally changed since Dani was like her before when she was broken and she keeps encouraging Dani that maybe she'll love sincerely again..
I want to learn more about Gigi. About her existence, about her true past.
It's just I love GIGI AND DANI TOGETHER! 🤧❤️❤️.
@@brittanymiitchell8491 As for Gini they havent said that they are together yet. Dani just said they were dating thus I think they gave each other that look. They are not official girlfriends yet. Which is why I think the last ep they will make that official and Gigi will take Dani to meet her family for the 1st time.
@@buddahstar8 so why was Dani meeting Eli? The timing of all this makes me confused.
I just have to say, every time I see a Jennifer Beals interview, then I watch the L Word, or vice versa, I'm ROTF from the contrast of JB's quiet, calm, articulate, voice and Bette's articulate, F Bomb laced utterances.
Jag Ti. Jennifer Beals is an incredible actor!! Nobody could play Bette F-ing Porter better!!
@@tinker.bella1968 I know right!
AAuuuuugh! Dani and Gigi! Holding hands, hugging, kissing! No bed scenes but they're soooo lovelyyyy! 🤧❤️❤️❤️❤️ Pleeeease stay strong!
I agree with your analysis 👍I have been unable to watch for last few weeks, so you have been saving me! Love you Ash!
@ash.silver Ash, when Bette broke down during Pippa's kiss. For me, Bette's emotion was to do with Kit's death, and taking down a drug opioid company. 🤔
Exactly!!!
Yep - agree - remember when Bette and Angie were hiking . Bette said something like “if she let herself grieve , then that would mean saying a final goodbye and I wasn’t ready to do that “
@@ashleygrimme5903 Yes, I do remember that! Going to be EXTREME in Ep. 10!!
Anyone remeber that laurel actually said she wasnt going to do gen Q. cuz she was happy doing her art n was a successful painter but she wished all her friends luck on the series .i wonder how they got her to change her mind or what did they offer her cuz it wouldnt hav worked without unless it was both Bette n Tina they r the show
I do remember that.
I think Jennifer convince her for doing some part.
They are friends in real life.
I would want her more in the show.
I miss them, they have such a chemistry even when they are friends and family.
@@zuberiaauleear8936 I think she more on the show cuz I read b4 it started she only gonna do a guess appearence now she like a reg with a storyline
@@janetwatkins4981 well I will love to have her more.
I do like he new characters but not as I like these 2.
They are fantastic together.
It gets this show to a different level.
I can’t wait to see them again.
Wherever they are in a fight, friends or families.
@@zuberiaauleear8936 yea cuz the originals makes the show no doubt
$$$$$
I think Bette was going to say I love you, they had such a connection moment, true love.
Shane being cautious about not telling Tina what Carrie said is dangerous. Carrie has been having these feelings for quit sometime about not marrying Tina... She needs to be told. And that line,, man I have been waiting for weeks!! Weeks... I think it's Shane telling Bette. But I also think Shane spills it to Alice, cause that Plane shot of Alice,,,, I call that is Tina she is talking with. And we all know Alice has a beautiful mouth and can't keep secrets, but this isn't one you can keep.
i don't want bette and tina back together. all they do is argue and i don't see the chemistry anymore. i wish we got more of carrie and tina together so we could see what they would be like as a couple.
Yes! And how did that relationship evolve?
@@jagti7260 😂
Whaaat so cool you're talking to Marja!!
Thanks for another great review, love it EP 9 TiBette forever and always 🥰
Your description of T & Bs dynamics is sooo true. It's amazing how so little actual screen time is enough to convey so much about their relationship. Their interaction feels so familiar as if I'd seen them regularly over the last ten years. Laurel & Jennifer are such great actors to bring across their character's chemistry. I'm in awe. I see growth in T & B as well, can guess their problems, the reasons for Tina's leaving, understand the tension, the bickering. Very realistic to what some divorcees go through while co-parenting and bringing new partners in. What else? Shane&Tess? Love them. Alice is so great when adressing biophobia in the community. Very much to the point imho. Great representation. Pippa & Bette? Yes, thank you for bringing back jealous Tina! Other than that I still don't get them. Angie: what a great performance by Jordan when Angie broke down in her room. Ti & Al: besties back!!! Few words and they're back in their twens again. So so good. I'm sure I'm gonna cry my heart out next episode - or get a heart attack ;) Love this episode so much!
I've always loved Bette even though she does mess things up & she's so gorgeous. But sometimes you could love someone with all your heart and still it doesn't work out. Ash your so cute too thanks again for your videos. 🏳️🌈🇮🇪🌹
Seems like Bette is still in love with Tina....but does Tina feel the same???
Ok so, genuine question: How the f*ck Finley knows where Dani lives???
Dani moved when she was upset with everyone, it's not like she gave her address to anyone. Also, Dani's apartment looks freaking expensive, so it must surely be in a fancy building (with security personnel) where you just can't enter so easily and pee on the corridors or whatnot...
I was wondering that also. She might have told Micah and he might have let Finley know.
the writers blew this one
I'm so glad my original statement still stands, every episode gets better and better 👏. My heart is broken for Angie 💔. Which made me turn into Bette for a second and yell out "F***"!!😢
I know right
Ash you are the best! Amazing, Thanks!☺️
I just thought of this four days late for the video but maybe the coming attraction is that Bette told Tina whatever it was that possibly Tess told Bette or Shane told Bette in Dana‘s about what Carrie said or wherever they are and then Bette told Tina that Carrie maybe doesn’t really want to get married or doesn’t feel she can marry you and maybe that’s why Tina said this is what you wanted… And was storming out to find Carrie or some thing and Bette says sorry… maybe it is to Tina that Shane says that line of this is your chance to get her or whatever the line was about Carrie…
Certainly I hope not… LOL
When am I going to learn to always have tissues on hand? Wow is right!!!! It was amazing! #Gini own me and honestly so does #Tibette whether they are a couple or not. I feel for Sophie....i hope Finley fixes herself. I had a feeling by the peephole she went to Danis....i don't know y, i just felt it. And Angie....omg her acting is stellar. As usual i could write a book. Finale next week ugh!!! I love this show soooooo much! On to season #3! XO
Yes tina and bette again ♥️♥️♥️i want them back..go bette tell tina that you still inlove with tina♥️♥️♥️
Finley peeing on the floor is all I can think about from this episode 😭😭😭 omg that really traumatized me
Addiction is devastating. 😞
@@Katesnaps yes and it really hit home with me because I have a family member who’s pretty much just like Finley
@@ThatWeirdoRightThere aw yes, addiction sadly casts a wide net. I hope Finley realizes how loved she is and takes the help offered.
@@Katesnaps yeah I hope that by the end of the next episode she agrees to the rehab because she is such a lovable character when she’s doing well and away from Sophie lol
@@ThatWeirdoRightThere I love Sophie and she’s not to blame.
This is one of the few episodes I’ll
watch again.
I’ve watched it several more times since I made the comment. Last one coming up is sure to be a cliff hanger.😊
Bette & Tina just feel like home. Both have ZERO chemistry with their significant other. No connection whatsoever. Bette & Tina = ENDGAME.
Ash..gg made a revalation she was married to a therapist..before its she had 7 brothers and hinted at her father was controlling and i wonder what her family relationship is. She so know who she is. Dani is stronger making decisions without her father, but she clearly under estimated bette!! Everytime bette was to answer tinas question, someone interrupted, so can i still hope. I like pippa, but its Tina all the way i hope please. Tess so compliments where shane is in her life now, its awesome to see.
I feel this is the best Gay Women's show. And I can't wait till the finale. This show is filled with such natural actors. Which makes it so real. I do hope it certainly continues òn to a Season 3. It would be such a shame to just close it down. I realize this has also been helpful, for other Gsy Women to finally have a show . That they can relate to. With regards to people who reflect who they are. The interesting dynamics that happen to us all throughout our lives. Just makes this show so real. That you Ash for breaking down each episode, in such a tasteful and excitable manner!!!
Wow, what a EPISODE seeing all my beloved OG together same scenes it made me cry 😢 of course? BETTE AND TINA TOGETHER in the same room OMG the CHEMISTRY is so overwhelming they still blow me away!! Poor Angie I felt so sorry for her and who came to the rescue was Uncle SHANE and Aunt Alice it was such a touching moment 😢 poor FINLEY my goodness poor thing she is going down deep in a hole she never going to come out of? How she knew were Dani lived got me? I really hope she gets some help and she takes it? DANI and GIGI THERE NOTHING but hottest 🔥!!! When BETTE and TINA went to see Marcus and he said yes they were so happy they were going to tell Angie? Then the worse thing happened he die? OMG The look on BETTE AND TINA face you couldn't imagine what was going on in there minds they both broke down in each other arms it was so beautiful again I was crying 😢 all can this episode really went through Kleenex!!! OMG THE last episode might put me in the hospital this hole season has killed me !!! Look out it's going to be Cliffhangers every were you turn 😳❤🤟
Yes Ash comes thru in clutch. You're the best reviewer of the gen q series. Whoo hoo
The way you banged that table about waiting till next weeks episode was life. Lmaoo
Maybe Tina wasnt talking about fighting harder for Angie Maybe she was talking about herself. Like Bette didnt fight for her to come back so thats why she believed Bette wasnt in love with her anymore.
My question is: why are there no aggresive stud like lesbians on the show? And why are there no African American Studs on the show? Will this be something they are going to work towards? I never see me on tv and it sucks but we are finally getting closer.
Thx u Ash you're really the best.
I feel like OG Tasha was the first and only stud the show has had.
@@sirlancelot6672 Stem maybe but never really saw her as a Stud. I think Rosie/Carrie is the 1st stud tho. Just looking for more than 1 or 2 tho. But I can kinda agree with your statement cause we never really got into Tasha's character fully so you might be correct.
I risk incurring the wrath of Tibette fans, I myself adore Bette and Tina together, but honestly, guys, Tina made her choice. She left Bette because she didn't feel like a whole person, but only half... Then she fell in love with Kerry. What has changed? In the world of L-word, 3 years have passed since Tina left. Before that, they had been together for more than 20 years. Bette suffered for a long time after Tina left. And when she finally accepted that Tina would be happy with someone else, when Bette finally decided that she should continue to build her life with someone else... It was then that Tina decided to hit the patient and ask "do you still love me?" isn't this a selfish act? What else should Bette do? I think that in the next episode Kerry herself admits to Tina that she is not ready to marry her. And guess what happens next? Tina will blame Bette for everything! And she will say that you have achieved your goal. Although Bette is absolutely not to blame for Kerry: Kerry's doubts are her baggage, her complexes and her problems. And I really think that for Bette at the moment, Pippa's support is much more necessary and useful than clarifying the relationship with Tina. Tina needs to sort herself out. Bette didn't fight for Tina because she respected her decision. So give Bette the opportunity to fight for herself and be happy. If Pippa is making Bette happy at the moment and Tina is making Bette unhappy, I want Bette to be happy. No matter who Bette stays with, I want her to be happy.
All Tina truly wanted was to have equality in her relationship with Bette. Not sure why everyone vilifies her for that. She just wants to be in an equal partnership. Tina isnt the one who needs to sort herself out..Bette does. If Bette softens and accepts an equal, Tina would be there in a minute.
@@chrisb1863 I'm not sure that's how it works. I don't blame Tina for leaving. She did what she thought was best for her. She is what she is. Next to Bette, she gets smaller herself, and it's not Bette's fault. And Bette is who she is. She's not trying to specifically suppress Tina. What can be changed here? Tina has always loved Bette for who she is and has never tried to change her. And Bette naturally has the power to change people. Everyone notices it. This is Bette's strength, but in Tina's case, this is her trouble. I think that's why Bette let Tina go and isn't fighting for her. Bette loves Tina so much that she's ready to let go. After all, you can't change yourself. We can correct some of our actions, but we cannot change who we are.
I am incredibly tired of the Bette and Tina dynamic. Especially if one actress isn’t available and the other is (so that putting them together gives JB much less to do on the romantic front), I’m beyond exhausted of them rehashing the same toxic dynamic over and over again.
@@chrisb1863 and if Bette does some hard work on herself and her issues!
@@chrisb1863 well that’s what Carrie wants from Tina, so where the problem.
I loved this episode I’ve watched it like 3x already
hoping that having a more scene for bette and tina..they really made us crazy for them .i so really excited to hear again the words that ..I AM STILL INLOVE WITH YOU TINA !😍😍..SAME WITH TINA ALSO TO HEAR THAT SHE ALSO STILL IN LOVE BETTE .THATNEVER EVER CHANGE THE FEELING THEY HAVE..Im so really excited in SEASON 3.. TBETTE TOGETEHR
Omg Ash! Finley peeing in Dani's hallway WTF! Lol! I'm curious the age difference between Dani and Gigi? Great episode and great recap!
@Ash silver: S2E9 what a masterpiece. Every second was engaging.Team Gen Q you are top 🔺
Oh the whole cufflinks thing! How to hurt Bette Porter (aka Cufflink Queen) the most? Borrow cufflinks from Carrie... Watching this episode I went through every single emotion... Wow! Never happened to me before 🙄
Why wouldn't Angie take cuffs from her mom. Carrie is nice n great but I feel like Angie likes Carrie more than her own Mom.
@@buddahstar8 I think Carrie makes digs at Bette, that was one of them
@@jagti7260 oh ok I like that. Probably the only lil way she can.🤭 Lol
Dani and Gigi are such a cute couple… they have really built their relationship slowly which Dani needed after sophie… i think she trusts gigi.. and loves her .. but Dani is still fragile.. stay by her side Gigi!
I think Gigi may get tired or bored.
Ash, you kill me with the F Bombs😅😅😅Tour giving Bette Porter a run for her money.😅😅😅
Tina's jealousy so happy but Bette will not see it and will continue to avoid her feelings.

Loved this episode!
Really like your review...💕💕💕💕💞💞👍
With a stunt double needed for Finley in the finale.. i hope she’s not going to drive drunk and roll the vehicle, gets charged again does jail time and then is mandated to a alcoholic addiction program. This could be when she hits rock bottom 😳
Shane and Alice are so awesome 👌
Angie has had a village since conception
I’m a rooting for Finley.. pull through pull through
favourite episode too, gracias Ash!
