Who Googled "Who Killed Jenny"?

I* did!

Why? Because I was left so speechless at the end of the "season" finale--in quotes because can we really even call that vaguely related hodgepodge of plotless schlock a "season"?--that I turned to the words of others to help numb my plotless schlock-induced pain.

Below, some excerpts from a particularly poignant sister-blog (yes, I said sister-blog), http://theroadbeststraddled.blogspot.com:

I better recap this excellent slice of television STAT before AfterEllen wakes up.

The most telling part of this whole she-bang is the ominous "Jenny Schecter 2002-2008" graphic that concludes the program. Not only does it imply that Mia looks hella old for a 6-year-old, it also serves to remind us that life begins and ends in the hands of our Creator, the Lord Above, Her Majesty Chief Alaskan Protection Community Coordinator Princess of the Lesbian Universe of All Peoples. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

Because you are G-d, Ilene, and Jenny is one of your little creations, she did not exist before you took a rib out of every homosexual Showtime subscriber in the universe, shoved it up your ass, took it out, made it pretty, adorned it in ripped fishnets and Converse shoes, mussed up its hair and declared, "let us make woman in my image, after my likeness, and let her have dominion over all the manatees in the aquarium, and over the DirectTV dishes in the air, and over the mangina of Moira and the buoyantly fake breasts of Nikki, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth ... and Ilene saw everything that she had made and, behold, it was very good."

It is moments like this that remind us of the fragility of life [span of Ilene's teevee characters]
... that force reflection [e.g., Why do we watch this show again?]
... upon the person lost [and how silly it is that she IS "being lost." Besides, Jenny & her entrails already played the LOST game in Season One. If I wanted to watch things getting lost, I'd watch that show LOST.]
Who was Jenny Schecter? [A MAN, BABY!]

We knew her as so many things [because on this show, personalities change like the seasons. Although ... the seasons themselves actually never change. I want Christmas! I want a Christmas Special! Papi carves the turkey!]
++

Well, let's fill up our concave souls together with a warm cup of "Over It." Time for an OVER IT party!


Kate: "I can't see foresee anybody killing anyone on this show ... but [throws arms in the air] there is that twist to it now, something has to happen ... [Shane]'s really kinda given up a lot of herself."
++

R-Shelly: "What's [Jenny] gonna do this week, and who's she gonna say the wrong thing to? ... Is Helena capable of murder? I don't think so. Are ANY of these characters capable of murder?"
++

Mia Kirshner: "Every year I sort of had to take on a different character for Jenny because she's so radically different every season ... it's hard to understand why Jenny did the things she did, because the things she did ... were amoral."
++

Leisha: "[Alice and Jenny] have always had their differences but this [season it's] a thing where ... it's ... a real thing? ... it's not funny."
++

Rose-Ro asks - "Who would really kill Jenny? ... I don't think anyone in the cast would kill Jenny ... maybe accidentally? ... like a fight on a rooftop or something?" [laughs]
++

LuH: "It's hard to understand why Jenny's behaving a certain way ... Well, it is The L Word, so it's lots of fantasy."
++

J-Beals: "I don't think any one of them could premeditate a murder, certainly not. But ... [laughs, over it.] Who knows?"
++

Kit: That's my baby girl!
++
"I just think it's funny that you hired me for this job. I'm actually a kinda groovy person in real life, and you're paying me a good salary to "act" and every year I get a free trip to Vancouver, where I can hike with the tree fairies and make music. Sweet deal you guys! Thanks! Hahaha."
++

You guys ! I AM SO EXCITANT, and I just can't hide it, ABOUT SHENNY!!!! It's the best thing since Dana & Alice! OMG, that's the curse. Date your best friend, get KILLED! Maybe Ilene has issues about this specifically?
