Pop Culture Fix: Bette and Tina are Back at it in “The L Word: Generation Q” Season 2 Table Read

Someone dropped a bag of popcorn(?) on the sidewalk in front of my house last night, and an army of pigeons has descended upon it, and my cat Dobby is going BERSERK at the window. He’s never seen so many birds in his entire life, and they’re getting a treat he’s not getting, and, friend, he’s screaming about all of it. His constant chirping and hollering honestly sounds like the inside of my brain as I keep one eye on the impeachment hearings and type up this Pop Culture Fix with my other eye.

+ Rosie posted an Insta story from a table read for season two of The L Word: Generation Q, and the main thing the internet is noting is that Tina’s back. It’s actually kind of amazing that three hundred years after the original L Word, our TV Team still has so many feelings — good and bad — about these two! They still punch my heart in the neck!

+ The full trailer for season three of grown-ish is here.

+ Meet Batwoman season 2 big bad Safiyah in new first look. Also! Batwoman boss confirms Black Mask is season 2’s other big bad.

+ Lilly Singh returns to remind us, when it comes to Trump’s coup, it’s the white supremacy, stupid.

+ Here’s your first look at Tig Notaro in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead.

  3. After learning that Kate Winslet rescheduled the shooting of the Ammonite sex scene to be on Saoirse Ronan’s birthday, the creep factor of that alone has kept me from watching Ammonite, who the fuck does that?

  4. I love the L Word Generation Q. I am hoping to see Bette and Tina back together. They are both such a beautiful couple. Helena I also love her.

  12. Pop culture has us hooked on all things glamorous and thrilling, so why not bring a bit of casino magic into the mix? Imagine a pop culture-themed casino where you can roll the dice with superheroes at the Avengers craps table, hit the jackpot in the Star Wars slot machines, or play blackjack in the James Bond VIP lounge. Let’s turn our favorite movies, TV shows, and music icons into the ultimate casino experience—because who wouldn’t want to try their luck in a world where entertainment and excitement collide?
