Can I say we all know the show is like 20 years old, Kate and Leisha don't have to apologise for everything in it. Some things age bad some things hold up, it's fine. I love the recaps and still love the original very much, we can accept that some things in it will not age well and Kate and Leisha don't need to spend all ep apologising. So happy recaps are back, many of us love it! :)
It makes me sad that you’d question why you’re still talking about the show! Your show means the absolute world to me and so many others! It helped me so much. I am watching the series on repeat most of the time. You should be proud of what you did with the L word! Gay girls should NEVER stop talking about it 🩷
They have a different experience than the audience. And also, it's a hindsight thing. There hasn't only been twenty years since they filmed it but they have also had a complicated experience with the reboot.
One thing I like about the recaps is when y’all mention what was going on in real life while y’all were filming. Even little things like, “I had to wake up at 4am and drive there” or “I still have that shirt” is interesting to me… I was watching this as this was the greatest show ever but this was “work” for y’all lol
Kate you have no idea the power that blue button up has over me. Iconic scene, the hair, the belt, the shirt, the vibe. Ugh chefs kiss. Auction that for thousands
@@SuuzieQ It’s understandable here too, a lot of things didn’t age well and a lot of what she seemed annoyed by doesn’t get fixed until the end, if at all. And everything she said about this episode and this season is very much true too lol. So I get it, it’s just funny.
When this episode aired I was 7 years old, I watched the L word for the first time when I was 15-16, now I’m watching it again at 25 and this show means so much to me. Back when I was 15 I didn’t understand what was wrong with Alice, I didn’t understand drgs and a lot of other things and now rewatching it I’m like “oh sh*t”. It’s funny because my name is Dana and Dana’s death hit so hard when I was a teenager, and it is hitting hard right now as an adult. Even though Kate hates the recapping, I love that you guys are doing this, exactly at this point in my life where I’m rewatching the show lol. So thank you! 🙏🏻💛
I was in my early 20's now I am in my 40's and we are still in love with the show! Crazy. Sometimes we would watch at the bar... 90's and early 2k was so awesome.
Tibette is the most iconic couple because they have it all… because you can feel at any time what they mean to each other and how much love there is between them… but what makes them so special is, the chemistry that LH and JB have… did you ever check out the way they look at each other? The way they touch…. But I wouldn’t mind seeing them communicating with each other more as well ❤
The reason that TiBette is still the ultimate couple is because they fought for their love, as messy and toxic and volatile as it was as times, at the end of the day, they got each other and they belonged together and they worked through their crap to finally have their happy ending. It was a messy, way unhealthy at times road but they fought for each other with as much fury as they fought with each other. They are the ultimate end game...and this is from a straight girl that's 100% a TiBetter! Just saying! ❤
As a nurse, i can tell you there are still women who are not in touch with their bodies. They dont understand how their bodies work, avoid doctors, & surprised by menopause symptoms. But also like Kate, recently watching Kit list her symptoms, i can now relate to her unlike when I first saw it years ago.
This was my favourite recap so far - thank you Kate & Leisha! I think it helps a lot being able to see your facial expressions too, it adds so much - it often adds a lot of humour 😀 I was dreading the season 3 recaps for the exact same reasons you were, but I’m not any more since this one was so much fun!
please continue to give your honest opinions about Bette and Tina and don’t let their wacky fans scare you into pacifying them. Some of us see them for the toxic couple that they are.
I already loved listening to you, but seeing your faces laughing is priceless! Thank you, Kate and Leisha, for bringing us this joy!❤ By the way, my 4 year old daughter is named Lara and I’m laughing my a… off with the pronunciation. 😂😂😂😂
I can only speak for myself, as a fan I was super excited to get recaps back since the beginning they were so awesome to hear. However, Kate hates it so badly that I honestly got so bummed. I'd almost rather they gave up on the recaps than ruin the thing we loved hearing about.
L word is not perfect, it’s flawed, but it’s still a show that helped a lot of people come into terms with who they are and till this day one of the only shows that focus on lesbian relationships
Funny how they don’t remember details of so many memorable moments involving their own characters’ situations… yet remember other characters’ such as Jenny’s story quite vividly. Like the part Kate even mentions the “cool bar” Jenny and Max were in, wow! Then Leisha talks about the many throw downs Jenny had in that episode alone! How come? Lmao, how excessive nonchalant they look here, for whatever reason. Love them unconditionally though. See around 29:00 mark.
I'm so glad you both also question whether Tina & Bette are the "perfect couple". I watched (and re-watched) the show with my wife and we were also incredibly confused why there is such a big love for TiBette when they're toxic to one another over and over again. I laughed at the Sharmen discussion and the way Kate's like "these two" as if Shane wasn't played by herself, then immediately switches back to "'cause Sarah's contract was up" 🤣 Also Kate's gonna make a lot of money in bidding wars for Shane's blue shirt 😆
Now that video is available, you can def see the distaste in recapping. Hey, I dont care either way. Love the Pants pod. You guys are a blast and im just glad you're willing to share.
Love this so much that u guys finally are doing video form u both are my favs from the show love your recaps of the series and everything else u put out for your podcast
Im so glad you finally have a video so we can see your reactions. Takes me back to Shane and Alice! I have rewatched the series at least 10x. Not ready for Dana/sharmen ending. Love you ladies❤
Yesterday I finished rewatching tlw after watching it for the first time like 10 years ago, so I'm loving this!! You guys are so funny!! Thanks for the content
You guys make me laugh. I agree with your comments about Bette and Tina's relationship. Maybe they were making a big deal out of menopause because too many people dismiss it as not a big deal, when it is.
This is hilarious!! I'm in the UK and these episodes are so funny!! Still not watched seasons 2 or 3 nut came across this. Oh man, Surfing, motorbiking, I;m in Cornwall and this has cheered me right up. Sweet one guys, peace from the playground!!!
Respect the history of L Word. Embrace why we are all here. It's because we LOVE the L Word in all its glory and it's many stupid plot holes. I can't understand how you could be so annoyed to talk about a show we all love you for! Take a lesson from Office Ladies and stop trashing what you created. Kate is so over this show and it's pissing fans off. We love you. We love the L Word. We love Tibette!!! PANTS exists because of The L Word.
With all this talk, every detail, every memory, at the time it was all very exaggerated, very peculiar. My opinion about the series has changed a lot in the last 10 years, but if there's one thing that doesn't change for me, it's how Mia is simply a spectacular actress, and she has always been and always will be the most complete character in The L Word series. I believe that everything charming about Alice was because the soul of the actress Leisha was there in Alice. I'm not even talking about literal interpretation because all the actresses are fantastic, but character construction. Jenny is very interesting, and Alice is the kind of person I would definitely be friends with, and Shane is the one that I would just 🙄
I don't know which time I laughed more, when the episode originally aired and the girls were saying all the names for the vagina...because they were hilarious and I never heard anyone use about 99.99% of those names...or watching the recap where you say them again while cringing...and I'm sure all of us listening are laughing because they are so damn cringey...great episode to start my day before going to work! 😆🤣
Call me Alice, but I’ve seen every season of every episode since the date it was aired every year for 20 years. Ask me anything about any episode anytime. anything that was said Why it was said and why it makes sense. ❤ stop hating on my show lol you guys should embrace it and be proud of yourselves. For its time it really open the door for so many women and you guys are really hard on yourselves for things that was said in the show that made sense for its time. We didn’t know any better. Love y’all thanks for the podcast.
I'm dating someone younger who has been meaning to see The L Word and within 4 days in is on season 4. She's been staying up till 5am watching it religiously, love it and have so many memories to the show, my first girlfriend ever showed me the show and I've used it as a mood setter. Kate: Wiff-waff? 😂 I'm gonna start saying that and see if it catches on with my girlfriend. 🎉
i'm sooooo happy you are back to recapping cause it's my favourite type of podcasts from you. i am also very happy to hear how much everything changed and that it was horrible back then for gay people but you have no idea how terrible it still IS outside of America and Europe
"It's all flat" said about my country Canada when they filmed in BC! Um, did you all not see the giant mountains around you? 10 major mountain ranges here. It is not flat until the other side of Alberta haha! They take the mountains out in FX i think. Love you guys! Made me laugh
You two are asking 'why are we still talking about the show" and that's because you have a huge following still and we are all watching reruns over and over again. It's like what happened to Star Trek the first series, decades ago when it was taken off the air. The reruns exploded with popularity. Having said that, Keep up with these podcasts, please. It's fun.
Okay, hear me out, have fans come on the show with you for the recaps because some of us, maybe just me, have watched the show so many times we can tell you everything from beginning to end! 😂 my wife and I are actually rewatching it right now. We are in the middle of season 2. Anyway, just a thought, lol. Love you guys! ❤
Yep…back in the 1960s and 70s women’s groups did run body awareness workshops. Until then females were not encouraged to know their bodies, gain pleasure from their bodies or celebrate their bodies. Hence the focus on workshops to meet/love your clitoris/vagina etc… Part of women’s empowerment. And then…Kit. Again, menopause was another rarely spoken about ‘womens’ issue’. - not researched and treatments were hard to find. Things have changed…but it’s soooo important to remember the struggle it took to make things better. (And to not forget that many women do not enjoy the freedoms we do.)
Helena's entire personality change is one of my favorite things about the series.
Can I say we all know the show is like 20 years old, Kate and Leisha don't have to apologise for everything in it. Some things age bad some things hold up, it's fine. I love the recaps and still love the original very much, we can accept that some things in it will not age well and Kate and Leisha don't need to spend all ep apologising. So happy recaps are back, many of us love it! :)
I'm with you a 100% on this one.
The look at Leisha’s face every time Kate pulls out her giant paper notes is so funny 😂
It makes me sad that you’d question why you’re still talking about the show! Your show means the absolute world to me and so many others! It helped me so much. I am watching the series on repeat most of the time. You should be proud of what you did with the L word! Gay girls should NEVER stop talking about it 🩷
Made me sad to. I love the show and felt disappointed
They have a different experience than the audience. And also, it's a hindsight thing. There hasn't only been twenty years since they filmed it but they have also had a complicated experience with the reboot.
there’s an entire generation of baby gays raised on this show. we want it
One thing I like about the recaps is when y’all mention what was going on in real life while y’all were filming. Even little things like, “I had to wake up at 4am and drive there” or “I still have that shirt” is interesting to me… I was watching this as this was the greatest show ever but this was “work” for y’all lol
I know! I have listened to seasons one and two. I hope they continue the recaps.
so glad that we just get to see the faces Kate and Leisha make at each other. XD
The Mia Kirshner + Jenny Schecter combo reigns supreme for me and it forever will.
After rewatching 561 times, I can 100% confirm that Leisha, in fact, DID NOT call Kate 'babe'. 😆
I agree
I agree. She said Kate & they not babe.
Yes!! I was just coming here to say that she did not call her babe😂
Does Erin wanna do the recap, cause Kate is CLEARLY over it 😂
It would be sooooooooooooo good 😢☺️
Yessssss! Erin please!
Leisha Hailey is the cutest human on the planet! ❤
Yes she has te voice of mini mouse ❤
Kate you have no idea the power that blue button up has over me. Iconic scene, the hair, the belt, the shirt, the vibe. Ugh chefs kiss. Auction that for thousands
Idk that I've seen another actor hate recapping their show more than Kate lol. Also...still entirely too soon to talk about the downfall of Sharmen.
I’ll never get over carmen
She wasn't too keen on recapping from season 1 all over again.. Which is understandable 😅
@@SuuzieQ It’s understandable here too, a lot of things didn’t age well and a lot of what she seemed annoyed by doesn’t get fixed until the end, if at all. And everything she said about this episode and this season is very much true too lol. So I get it, it’s just funny.
Kate and Robert Pattinson lmao
LOL they were never forced to recap the movies tho were they?@@Karolina-dr8du
When this episode aired I was 7 years old, I watched the L word for the first time when I was 15-16, now I’m watching it again at 25 and this show means so much to me.
Back when I was 15 I didn’t understand what was wrong with Alice, I didn’t understand drgs and a lot of other things and now rewatching it I’m like “oh sh*t”.
It’s funny because my name is Dana and Dana’s death hit so hard when I was a teenager, and it is hitting hard right now as an adult.
Even though Kate hates the recapping, I love that you guys are doing this, exactly at this point in my life where I’m rewatching the show lol.
So thank you! 🙏🏻💛
@@princess-violet 💯
I was in my early 20's now I am in my 40's and we are still in love with the show! Crazy. Sometimes we would watch at the bar... 90's and early 2k was so awesome.
Recap until you guys are 90! you're giving the gays what they need!! This made my absolute day xx
7:35 The "babe" drama needs to be an instagram post, that made me HOWL
I just CHOKED, that was so funny 😂
But she didn’t say babe
@@cindyslavik5391 I know she said “They’d” aha
I heard Kate
This is amazing. I feel like yall are complaining about the plot holes and the character insanity and have all the same questions we do 😂
Tibette is the most iconic couple because they have it all… because you can feel at any time what they mean to each other and how much love there is between them… but what makes them so special is, the chemistry that LH and JB have… did you ever check out the way they look at each other?

They are like the most problematic 😂

They are the ultimate end game...and this is from a straight girl that's 100% a TiBetter! Just saying! ❤
First I also heard the “babe” lol but when Kate pulled out the sheets of notes I died! 😂
As a nurse, i can tell you there are still women who are not in touch with their bodies. They dont understand how their bodies work, avoid doctors, & surprised by menopause symptoms. But also like Kate, recently watching Kit list her symptoms, i can now relate to her unlike when I first saw it years ago.
So true. There are many woman who really are oblivious to their own bodies.
"but WHY are we still doing this..." LOLLLL I had a honest laugh in 0:49 seconds of the episode
Omg not 10 minutes in and I’m already on the floor dying of laughter. The labia majors and the babe🤣🤣🤣
This was my favourite recap so far - thank you Kate & Leisha! I think it helps a lot being able to see your facial expressions too, it adds so much - it often adds a lot of humour 😀 I was dreading the season 3 recaps for the exact same reasons you were, but I’m not any more since this one was so much fun!

Seems like Kate somtimes is as annoyed by recaping as I am 😂
This had me LAUGHING ahaahahahahhaah Mama B and Mama T ahahahahahaha- smurf crease 🤣🤣🤣
I loved when Alice screamed "Danaaaa!" On the radio. I ended up doing that for my friend Dana when I hosted a midday radio show 😂❤
I already loved listening to you, but seeing your faces laughing is priceless! Thank you, Kate and Leisha, for bringing us this joy!❤ By the way, my 4 year old daughter is named Lara and I’m laughing my a… off with the pronunciation. 😂😂😂😂
Their comments about the show are soooo accurate 🙌🏼
I can only speak for myself, as a fan I was super excited to get recaps back since the beginning they were so awesome to hear. However, Kate hates it so badly that I honestly got so bummed. I'd almost rather they gave up on the recaps than ruin the thing we loved hearing about.
I love recaps and I’m upset they didn’t finish! I don’t know why Kate doesn’t like recaps. SMH- I hope it does come back soon 🫰🏼
L word is not perfect, it’s flawed, but it’s still a show that helped a lot of people come into terms with who they are and till this day one of the only shows that focus on lesbian relationships
Heck Yes! Just Started rewatching the series this week and found out about Pants. I’m so excited. This Podcast Rocks🤘
Bette and Tina 😫 I remember watching the last season like…. AGAIN?!? Lol
Watching y’all recap this show brings back so many memories. This show was so unhinged 😂
I'd watch a whole hour of yall laughing. I'm cryyyyying.... labia majora for the win 😅 🎉❤😂
I just finished Re-watching the entire series, this came at a perfect time! I love this podcast so far!
Yay, thank you!
Leisha is unreal beautiful
i felt like I was the only one who loved jenny's character! She was intense. And I loved her with Max too!!
6:12 - you guys owe me a pack of pretzel thins... they way i sprayed them all over my workstation 😂😂
This gives me hope. So glad I came across this channel. I was so bummed out when the series cancelled.
Funny how they don’t remember details of so many memorable moments involving their own characters’ situations… yet remember other characters’ such as Jenny’s story quite vividly. Like the part Kate even mentions the “cool bar” Jenny and Max were in, wow! Then Leisha talks about the many throw downs Jenny had in that episode alone! How come?

Respect the history of L Word. Embrace why we are all here. It's because we LOVE the L Word in all its glory and it's many stupid plot holes. I can't understand how you could be so annoyed to talk about a show we all love you for! Take a lesson from Office Ladies and stop trashing what you created.

Totally agree Betsy. Their heart isn't into this so don't do it begrudgingly. It's so obvious.
Agree 1000%
Agree 100% with you.

Shane and Carmeeeeeeeeen ❤️❤️❤️ all the way…..till this day i loose my breath over them ….. sooo fu*king goood 😮
I love the recaps!!!!
Omg i love so much the podcast on video xD they are so FUNNY
I’m just so excited to have this content from you guys! I miss the show so much 😭 you guys are doing amazing!! Much love! 💚
i’m crying laughing 😭😭😭😭
Ok I'll have to rewatch it 😅
Call me Alice, but I’ve seen every season of every episode since the date it was aired every year for 20 years. Ask me anything about any episode anytime. anything that was said Why it was said and why it makes sense. ❤ stop hating on my show lol you guys should embrace it and be proud of yourselves. For its time it really open the door for so many women and you guys are really hard on yourselves for things that was said in the show that made sense for its time. We didn’t know any better. Love y’all thanks for the podcast.
Exactly!
bette and tina had their problems but so many people got hurt every time they broke up
I'm dating someone younger who has been meaning to see The L Word and within 4 days in is on season 4. She's been staying up till 5am watching it religiously, love it and have so many memories to the show, my first girlfriend ever showed me the show and I've used it as a mood setter.
Kate: Wiff-waff? 😂
I'm gonna start saying that and see if it catches on with my girlfriend. 🎉
Thank you for doing the recaps! They're so damn funny!!! I love #Dalice and #Sharmen so much!! 🥰
i'm sooooo happy you are back to recapping cause it's my favourite type of podcasts from you. i am also very happy to hear how much everything changed and that it was horrible back then for gay people but you have no idea how terrible it still IS outside of America and Europe
HAHAHA! Leisha totally called Kate "babe" 💜
Edited: Actually I watched again in lower speed and no, she says "they" haha.
"It's all flat" said about my country Canada when they filmed in BC! Um, did you all not see the giant mountains around you? 10 major mountain ranges here. It is not flat until the other side of Alberta haha! They take the mountains out in FX i think. Love you guys! Made me laugh
So excited to finally listen to one of your podcast🙆🏼♀️.
P.S. Shane AKA Kate is still so frickin hot a decade later🫶
It's so funny to see the impression that the episode had on you and your interpretation vs what I thought
You two are asking 'why are we still talking about the show" and that's because you have a huge following still and we are all watching reruns over and over again. It's like what happened to Star Trek the first series, decades ago when it was taken off the air. The reruns exploded with popularity. Having said that, Keep up with these podcasts, please. It's fun.
😮 this is WILD!!
Okay, hear me out, have fans come on the show with you for the recaps because some of us, maybe just me, have watched the show so many times we can tell you everything from beginning to end! 😂 my wife and I are actually rewatching it right now. We are in the middle of season 2. Anyway, just a thought, lol. Love you guys! ❤
GET ERIN TO RECAP WITH LEISHA PLEASE NEVER STOP lmao
Omg we definitely want it
Yep…back in the 1960s and 70s women’s groups did run body awareness workshops. Until then females were not encouraged to know their bodies, gain pleasure from their bodies or celebrate their bodies.
