Voila! - TLW turns into an 8-part mystery tour.
But lets not dwell on that. Having seen the first seven episodes, we're all afraid of what will happen next, but instead of worrying, please enjoy a fun Alice-Jenny scene - Jenny begs for a kiss!

Dead Ahead
How I think Season Six really happened:
Once upon a time, back in June 2008...
Voila! - TLW turns into an 8-part mystery tour.
But lets not dwell on that. Having seen the first seven episodes, we're all afraid of what will happen next, but instead of worrying, please enjoy a fun Alice-Jenny scene - Jenny begs for a kiss!

The Red and The Black
Reading too much into Jenny's red/black boots,
Bette's episode 510 red/black flannel shirt,
and Tina's red/black elevator panties...
It could be another TLW shoutout to Stendhal.
Think back to 'L Word's first season, and the art reference to the Stendhal syndrome: the rapture that overtakes one whilst embracing an unspeakably beautiful work of art.
Well, Stendhal didn't just faint at paintings. He also wrote books, one of which is (ta-da!) 'The Red and The Black'. This novel (remarkable for 1830) dealt with the turmoil of a young man as his planned life is overturned by his passions. One of the earliest books to delve into human psychology and sexual choices, it contains some disturbing imagery, such as his lover kissing the lips of his severed head at the end. But one of the central themes of the book should be recognizable to all TLW fans: ''Stendhal's novel reveals how any individual's desire for another is always 'mediated' by a third party - put crudely, that we desire something (or someone) because we see that someone else desires that thing.'' Ring any bells?
So perhaps these red/black transformations right in front of our viewing eyes are calling out a deep and meaningful reference, if only our slow wits could be coaxed into following along. Or it could just be that JB picked the red shirt, and Jenny's boots plus Tina's panties are yet more continuity errors to add to TLW's growing pile. Your call.

Jenny & Niki in 510
the tent scene
*fyi: link below is R-rated material
This extended 'love scene' actually reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock.
He was once told he couldn't do a five minute love scene, that it would be 'too long' and he couldn't get away with it - audiences would find it too lengthy and squirm in their seats. Plus the studio execs and the 'standards board' would never go for it, etc.
His reply? 'I can if there's a bomb under the bed.'
That's exactly what this does... we've got the menace of Adele sitting in wait, plus everyone can guess that the camera = trouble.
So even people who don't find the scene hot still stay interested.
Speaking of unexpected videos, here's another:
Jennifer Beals from the 1991 film "Blood and Concrete."
one girl in a million (3 minute video)
* What's up with...
the closed-lip liplock followed by roasting chicken?
