Hypermediocrity

(The appropriate subject line is a Fischerspooner reference to the song "Emerge").

The Planet Podcast, Episode 412: Long Time Coming

Kelka are bitching about the disappointing season 4 finale of "The L Word." They address how there aren't really any compelling cliffhangers and how they're complaining too much:

Elka: We can't do this; it's the podcast for "L Word" fans, not the podcast for "L Word" haters.
KC: Maybe we should change the name.
Elka: "The Podcast For People Who Can Barely Tolerate "The L Word" But Only Watch It Because There's No Other Lesbians on TV!...[pause] dot com!"

Hmm..., let's make this a URL for their blog:

butonlywatchitbecausetheresnototherlesbiansontv.blogspot.com

I'm guessing that part of the reason why there were no huge cliffhangers in the finale was because Ilene didn't know if Showtime would renew the show for season 5. But if that was the case, they should have established a bit of , oh, I dunno closure for the characters. But I guess they just didn't know, so they had to leave it mediocre.

The only thing I'm looking forward to about season 5 is getting more podcasts. It's disappointing to see a solid work of art deteriorate, but at least there's Kelka.
