the L word season 4 begins.
here's the new cast. jenny hasn't been run over by a truck. that's too bad. cybill shepard joins the cast and plays a desperate housewife. in the grand tradition of the L word, a middle eastern or south asian actress will play a latina. (and her name is "papi"? jaysus. who picks these names?) also in the grand tradition of the L word, the show is set in the alternate universe of los angeles proper and shot in the alternate universe of vancouver where asian americans don't exist. it's like shooting a film based in utah without mormons, but you know, i'll give this oversight one more season to rectify itself.
okay, moving on.
recap: so dana is dead. immediately after her death from cancer, dana's formerly-warring exes, alice and lara, began having steamy trysts. with each other. i mean, dana can't do anything about it. she's dead. absent a paranormal resurrection, viewers will be stuck barfing a little in their mouths. (please, L word, let the vampire ex of alice, uta, come back and get all lestat in the joint. because this shit is bananas. b-a-n-a-n-a-s.)
trust fund helena is broke. and now helena will probably have to get a job... where she actually has to work. maybe she will have to sell her designer clothes to consignment shops and eat sam's club fusilli with ragu spaghetti sauce. watch helena drink p.b.r. (not ironically!) instead of roederer cristal. oh my!
after her partner tina started canoodling with a dude, bette kidnapped her own child and is driving to canada. she's a maniac! maniac! maybe in canada, for the sake of authenticity, they'll pass an asian-american on the street. unless they throw in a story line that they've all been killed by a band of vampires led by uta.
kit's pregnant with the manny's kid. guess she wasn't menopausal after all.
jenny is crazy.
shane pulled a "runaway bride" at her wedding to carmen with the following excuse: "duh, i suck." carmen is left crying. helena is left with the bill, which prompts her mother to pull the plug on her finances - right before her mother runs off with the lesbian minister in a limo - the minister who was supposed to marry shane and carmen.
max formerly known as moira will now be known as simply 
, and if you don't refer to him as , he will go on a 'roid rage and break your face.

What's up with the other new characters, do you know? Tasha and Jodi? I LOVE Marlee Matlin so I'll be watching if just for her... but what're the other new characters like?
i just did a google search. here's the blurb from the casting call for "tasha":
The background on “Tasha Williams”, according to the casting call is that she is “Papi’s” friend, a Sergeant in the Army, someone who grew up in a liberal, but patriotic family. She is athletic, and enjoys the discipline of the military as it suits her personality. In the military service, she is not concerned with her sexual orientation as her duties present little opportunity for romance. Outside of that, however, she is cautious about how she is romantically seen with women. The character served in Iraq and is in Los Angeles recovering from an injury she sustained while in the line of duty. Among her favorite rehabilitation therapies is basketball which is where we see her with “Alice” in the script. The call says that the character is a “series regular” and in caps stresses: “SOME SIMULATED SEX AND TASTEFUL NUDITY REQUIRED.”
in other words, military dyke!
and "jodi":
from some discussion board -
Yay!! I found a spoiler!!! Marlee Matlin (one of my favorite actresses and many crushes) will be in 11 episodes of The L Word next season. She plays a lesbian artist who's deaf and has an attraction to Bette. The source is from Afterellen.com in the Best Lesbian Week Ever Section. For those who don't know, I took a bio of her from IMDB.com so you can learn more about her.
