Good Lord. We've previously written quite a bit about the utter ridiculousness that isThe L Word, but this episode took the cake. Female-to-male transsexual Max got pregnant by her homosexual male boyfriend - and then couldn't get an abortion because s/he, at four months, was too far along with the pregnancy. Can't get an abortion in L.A.? They give those away with eye lifts. An abortion is a side order at In & Out Burger.
As if that wasn't enough, who should show up on the episode but the pole-licker from Showgirls? As Jennifer Beals' hetero ex-college roomate, who's got some serious sexual tension with Beals' character Bette Porter. Word of advice - if you want to see Berkley and Beals together onscreen, Netflix Roger Dodger , which is a good indie comedy starring Campbell Scott from a few years ago. They play friends, and Beals kisses a teenage boy. It's hot, trust us. Although not nearly as hot as the L Word producers putting together a Flashdance/Showgirls dance-off. Imagine. With the water and the chair and the pole and the licking. And no pregnant man anywhere. What a feeling. Come on, L Word people. Take your passion and make it happen.
