fembuckSo I still haven't seen the season 4 premiere because my computer is freaking slow today and I can't seen to get a speed higher than like 10 kb/s (the horror!). And truthfully after reading some reviews I'm not sure that I want to subject myself to this show until episode 4 when Paige shows up. I mean, how exactly the show managed to make a threesome with Karina Lombard and Mia Kirshner take sexy away I can't conceive of. I mean that takes a special (and by special I mean EVIL) Uwe Boll-ianesque talent. Add to that, Emo!Shane starring in Menace to Society II, post-vomit kissing, the horror that is TiBette, shameless self-promotion, and Max and you get me ... full body shuddering.
Update: Okay, so I finally saw it and while parts were as cringe-worthy as I was anticipating, there were also some good moments.
The Good:
Marina the glory stealer was pure gold. Karina does Euro!smarm well.
"I can't even by a pair of shoes for $3500!" Oh, Helena. Pretty much everything with Helena and Alice was fun times.
"Does anybody have a sippy cup? Can I get a sippy cup? Jesus!" Oh, Bette.
The Bad:
Everything involving Shane. My god that was some emo bullshit. I couldn't have cared less if ... I don't even care enough to finish that thought actually.
Bette and Tina are a nightmare. They are painful to watch. And because I skipped the end of last season, I didn't realize what a complete bitch Tina had become not wanting to allow Bette to adopt Jeli, so even though Bette can be an abrasive asshole by sympathies are with her.
The menage. My god that horrible. Karina is sexy but tight lipped kissing is not. And Claude was just ... weird. Though her immediately asking "Do you think she'll have sex with us?" after meeting Marina WAS amusing.
However, the following pictures made my sick, sleepy, flu ravaged body smile ... before I was over taken by a a fit of hacking cough, and had to stop.
Hey, this is probably the first and last time that you'll see anyone on this show look genuinely happy! Suck it up while you can, because Shane will likely sleep with Paige's mom, do a bunch of coke and get into a car accident with Shay and Paige's son by the end of the next episode, and NOBODY will be smiling then. NOBODY! Well, maybe Chaiken.
Hey, Shane ... how you doin'? Come on in ladies, there's plenty of room. No, no, don't worry, three's not a crowd ... it's a party! Come in, come in ... liquer in the front, poker in the back. Don't be shy now. Dibs on the blonde!
Why yes, I did order handsome stranger who's mad, bad and dangerous to know. Uh, Shane ... is that a strap-on in your pocket or are you just happy to see me (*psst*, Paige, it's Shane ... it's totally a strap-on though she's probably happy to see you too ... especially if you have a pool!)

And T3 doesn't really count because she was in that leather jumpsuit for like the whole movie (except when she was naked or dressed as a flight attendant). Kris rocks jeans, so I'm looking forward to the laid back, comtemporary look.

lol, I'll tell you you're not missing anything (except pain, and an occassional chuckle ... which is usually followed by cringing). You don't want to do anything to avoid enjoying Loken time, so I support your ban of TLW until ep. 4!
