Is Crystal Chappell trying too hard to play up to the lesbian audience?

BUMP! Is this a parody of Crystal Chappell/Otalia? The glasses of wine are :lol::lol::lol: . And the Chappel-like character(that looks like Jessica Leccia) admitting that she's gay for pay and exploiting the lesbian fanbase.

This one is even better. I love how they are making of Chappell being a drunk. If the writers do their research for future episodes, they could totally nail this and create an effective parody.

Why do the production values for this look better than the production values for Venice or Gotham?

I love the whole "They love this like you love Xena," followed by, "That's not funny! That's totally different!"

I really hope Vee gets to see this :lol:

LOLOLOLOL. There's more, there's more!

Here's scenes from the canceled show "Gotham Vice." I like how they make fun of how absolutely unnatural and stilted those Olivia/Natalia scenes were on GL with the awkward camera angles and bad music.

That's interesting. I remember Otalia had a big following at TWOP. Then again, there's a difference between liking that and liking what followed. There was that fun blog, I can't remember the name now, which initially planned to seriously review Venice, and then they were so annoyed by it they just made a mockery of the first few episodes before giving up entirely.

Aside from the kissing (which would probably make someone at P&G or CBS flee in horror), it's all so spot on for Otalia. I especially love the GL music in the storeroom, the horrible "rock" followed by the almost as bad "inspirational" theme.

And that webpage cracks me up. A T-shirt for "I'm a detective, I...detect things." That's like Internet fandom to a tee...

I like how the DA's office is a closet with a file cabinet. And if I'm not mistaken, in one of the scenes her law degree was frameless, just a sheet of paper propped up against another frame.

The music is truly horrible. But in order to truly complete the GL illusion they needed for the only intimacy to be warm hugs and perhaps eskimo kisses.

I saw some of Venice but was not about to pay for an entire season of that garbage. I heard it "got better" but I frankly doubt that. I thought Gotham was steadily improving from being utter [!@#$%^&*] to slightly less, but I should catch up with it.

I think she had two frameless degrees next to each other. :lol:

I only watched a little bit of Venice; I'm sure it did get better but between "sassy" and HBS as a funny foreigner telling Tina Sloan she was going to go sapphic, I never could get past the start. There seemed to be very little of the actual lesbian couple in question.

I don't watch a lot of fanvids (not because I think they're all bad, just because I usually don't care about enough couples to really watch them), but that Trina fanvid reminds me of the one Otalia fanvid I watched last spring, which was the same two or three clips put in over and over and over...

Or like the Nuke scenes that basically replay the two of them jumping on the bed or the stumble into the kitchen island at the Snyder Farm. LOL.

Man, someone has to tell these bitches to do more episodes of Webseries The Webseries. I wish there were more soap parodies out there that made fun of people in charge of these soaps, and not those ridiculous Mii-like characters set to robotic voices.

I never thought they were making fun of

I love the crazy fans gluing the pictures to the cardboard(like the ridiculous video of child drawing a picture of Olivia, Natalia and Emma while her mom looked on saying "We love Otalia!" :blink: ) and the crazy lesbian at her computer with the "Team Trina" T-Shirt. They really capture the essence of how rabid those fans are.

I'll just jump right in.

The Xena part was my favorite :lol:

Apparently CC is now gonna do another webseries or a reality webseries. "The straight girls guide to gay bars" or something like that (that is really the title of the show).

So to answer the question "Is Crystal Chappell trying too hard to play up the lesbian audience" my answer is a big fat YES.

      This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.

      Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

      Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

      I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.

      Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.

        Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.

      Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING.

      Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
