Hotness Overload! Abort! Abort!

Sigh, life is great during Kelka season; I wish I could explain it to people outside the Kelkaverse. I have to admit that I'm getting sucked back into The L Word. Season three broke my heart, and season 4 made me yawn (with the exception of a few hilarious scenes). Season 5 appears to be both light and engaging.

There are a bunch of things that I'm not a fan of though:
  • I think there's a bit too much nakedness. I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but I don't want to feel like I'm watching softcore porn that could easily facilitate a straight male's orgasm.
  • I'm hoping for some sort of a twist with Shane so she doesn't just continue to be a sex fiend. She's clearly not satisfied with just sexing all the time, but she's not capable of swearing off it either.
  • They need to make Max a little less lame. I am from the Midwest; I am not that lame. He danced pretty well in 304. Transitioning to malehood does not mean one should forfeit one's ability to dance. I wanted him to be with Grace, but, she's way too good of a dancer for him.
  • I don't want to dislike Alice, but they're making it hard for me not to! She was SO much cooler in the first two seasons.
In spite of all this, I have a confession to make: the hilariousness of Jenny's bitchiness is growing on me a bit. I must admit I'm guilty of re-playing that flirtation scene with Shane several times. Everything about that scene was perfect: Jenny's demeanor, Shane's facial expressions, Shane's clothing, Jenny's timing, etc. I want to know whose idea was it for Jenny to grab her own boob like that. My goodness. I'm guessing it was Mia Kirshner's. I have to give her props for that. HOT HOT HOT.

Sigh.
