...there is no other way to explain how they keep casting people that make me want to tune in and watch that shit. Last year it was the Lokinator and how it's Patricia Velasquez!
Patricia Velasquez (Arrested Development, The Mummy) has been cast in the fifth season of The L Word. Velasquez will play "BegoƱa," a character whose storyline includes the subject of immigration. She indicated that her character would be introduced at the end of the upcoming season and would later be developed into a main character if The L Word is renewed for a sixth season.

WARNING: (MORE) L WORD RANTING AHEAD!
The only good thing about this is that it seems like I won't have to start watching until near the end of the season unlike the Paige storyline that caused me to watch and suffer through pretty much the whole season last year. I can't wait to see how the address the immigration plot line it's sure to be tasteful and well written *rolls eyes* But goddamn if Patricia is fine as hell, and gay too *swoons*

...the reason I am obsessed by The Mummy Returns
Jesus Christ, the fucking L Word. Devil show! *is so gonna watch the Patrica episodes*

Date: 2007-11-30 02:14 pm (UTC)Urgh! Just urgh! I feel like The L Word is like an abusive spouse. They lure back with promises to be good, to not hurt you ever again, with their charm and cuteness, but once they have you back, they hurt you again and you hate yourself for being suckered back in, but you stick around hoping it will get better.
I'm totally watching too... even though I should just call the cops and report this sort of pattern of abuse.

Also nothing against Shane but I really hope that they don't pair her up with Patricia's character. I mean, she always get the hots ones, it's not fair. Let get the others have fun too.

*sigh* I predict this will suck about as much as MAYA!! and Alejandro on Heroes.
I'll watch. But, dammit, this year I am soo not going to pay for it. Torrents all the way!

This is the perfect description! This is totally what it feels like. And every time you go back you're disgusted with yourself for you lack of willpower but you just can't help it.
AGRH! Devil show! The thing is I KNOW what type of pain I'm setting myself up for but ... Patricia *cries* I was just lamenting a couple months ago that it's been AGES since I've seen her in anything and I need my Velasquez fix *cries more*

Date: 2007-11-30 09:29 pm (UTC)Even with that it's amazing how much of the episode still manages to register with you. I still shudder when I think about last season and I FF'd through pretty much everything that did involve Lokinator. The horribleness of the show transcends even the FF button
Rachel Shelley in prison should be good for a laugh or two also.
I like Rachel Shelley, she's gorgeous and has good comic timing, but again, I just know that for every laugh I get out of Helena in jail, I'm going to cringe a hundred times more.
God, I hate this show

Date: 2007-11-30 09:35 pm (UTC)Word. I like Rachel Shelley a lot, but Helena's relationships have been really cringe worthy for the most part (like most of the relationships on this show). She was hot with Sandrine Holt for like ten minutes last season, but the majority of that gambling debt storyline made me want to scratch my eyes out.
I don't understand how a show with so many gorgeous women (who are for the most part good actress) has only managed to have like one or two couples that I was able to stand.
Also nothing against Shane but I really hope that they don't pair her up with Patricia's character. I mean, she always get the hots ones, it's not fair. Let get the others have fun too.
Yes, thank you, I totally agree! As soon as I heard she was joining the cast, I immediately assumed they were going to hook her up with Shane but I HOPE that doesn't happen. Just keep her away from Shane and Jenny and it should be okay. The shallow viewer in me totally wants her to hook up with Bette or Helena, because Patricia kissing either of those two would be visually like the best thing ever, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.
*sighs* you totally know she's going to end up with Shane *glares at Shane* You ain't all that Shane, you ain't all that.

Seriously, nothing has even been written let alone aired yet, and the inevitable awfulness of it is already making me queasy.
I predict this will suck about as much as MAYA!! and Alejandro on Heroes.
lol, the thing is at least there are things about Heroes that I like. For instance there is Sylar in the scenes with MAYA! and Alejandro and I enjoy Sylar immensely. Then there's Niki, and Elle and Bennett, and Angela and Nathan, and occasionally Claire whom I enjoy as well, so the over all viewing experience (lately) hasn't been nauseating. There's nothing about the L Word that I like other than the pretty women, and the horribleness even the hotness cannot overcome it.
Torrents all the way!
lol, totally. In fact, I'm hoping to be able just to youtube the parts with Patricia so that I don't even accidentally see anything that is not directly related to her.

Date: 2007-11-30 09:43 pm (UTC)God I hate her and her stupid show. I loath this show so much that I can't even insult it well, because it turns me into a rage filled, sputtering mess.
IC sucks elephant cock!
This is going to be SO horrible ... like it always has been and always will be ... no matter how many Nordic goddess and Venezuelan vixens they cast!
no subject
Date: 2007-11-30 09:47 pm (UTC)So much pretty. Pretty all over the place with Patricia.
The show as always sucked though. Always. The first season was the least painful, and there were some enjoyable elements in it, but the show has always sucked. I have never sat through an episode of the L Word without cringing, and turning my head away from the screen and generally feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed for the people on screen.
It sucks so hard. I'm constantly astonished by how bad it is.
Spoilers about Helena in orange alone have me shivering in fear.
You know they're going to play this for comedy, and I shudder to think about how NOT funny it's going to end up being.

Date: 2007-11-30 11:05 pm (UTC)Don't you love how they broke up everyone's favorite couple, killed off the only character a lot of people identified with, and hired actresses to represent completely different ethnic backgrounds?
And all the women have long hair, Jenny is a crazy-ass motherfucker...blah blah blah.
I could go on for hours about how poorly represented I am, but I won't, cause it really doesn't matter that much, but it still pisses me off. I resent the show so much, and yet I can't stop watching. I really think IC sold her soul to the devil. Or maybe her writing ability. Who knows?

I loved Patricia and Rachel in the Mummy Returns. They made the movie for me. Neferteri and Anuk Su Numun were so gay for each other. I even wrote two stories about it because they were CLEARLY doing it.

Date: 2007-12-01 08:06 pm (UTC)Oh for the love of ... goddammit Kristanna. I sat through every episode of Painkiller Jane, and last season of the L Word, and you repay me by making me suffer through more of this shit! *cries* I hate you ... .... ... I didn't mean that baby, I love you, just treat me better okay?

Date: 2007-12-01 08:11 pm (UTC)Oh I know. I'm sure that I'm going to end up hating her character at some point, because all IC knows how to write are insane, self-involved, annoying, assholes who piss me off. Some characters, and by some characters I mean Alice, have managed to survive 4 seasons without me hating them, but everyone else has been the subject of my loathing at some point. *sighs* God, I hate this show.
I don't know why but I think she'll end up hooking up with Tina or Alice.
Alice I could see her having good chemistry with, and because Alice is the only character I've consistently liked it would mean that I probably wouldn't want to claw my eyes out when Patricia is on screen if they hook up. It'll kind of suck though, because Alice's sex scenes are always played for laughs, and I want
boobspure sexy from PatriciaThis show really is bad but JB is so very fine that I have to tune in. Free Bette! Free Bette Porter!
I know. JB's fine ass is the only reason I can stand Bette at all. Mostly I like to mute Bette and just look at her. Seriously, though, if JB wasn't so hot I wouldn't like Bette at all, but because she's smokin' hot I cut Bette way more slack than I would if she didn't make my eyes happy.
