Season 6 was an absolute piece of shit!!

Thank you Ilene Chaiken for making lesbians/bisexual women all over the world feeling embarassed!
I feel sorry for the poor actresses, watching the show progressively going down the toilet…

This IS NOT the way that we live! IC should not be allowed to be in front of a camera EVER AGAIN!

P.S.: Riese, you make my day! I have read all your recaps, hillarious and to the point!

Chaiken and her cronies are the queens of inconsistent, which reminds me of incontinence – which basically tells me the Lword makes me pee in my pants. As if I didn’t know ….

As a huge fan of The L Word and not a lez, may I say that the L word opened up my eyes that lesbians are like other people (surprise!), and yeah, I dont care how Max or Bette or Jenny are portrayed since they’re characters and logic is the last thing I’d look for in tv series like The L word. If you want logic, try (thinking of tv shows with logic, err.. Education channel). And fuck me if the L Word is not entertaining, has kept me awake at odd times waiting for the torrent to finish downloading so that I could watch it, and it made me realize that as a gay man, lesbians have better shows on tv. fuck! Queer as Folk (US only) is 10000000000000000X worse than the L word, and I doubt any gay man I know, know who the fuck Kathleen Hanna is. Do you think mainstream gay show will ever have Limpwrist or Pansy Division on the background?

While there have been an insane amount of issues with the writing in the past clearly this episode was insanely bad. I kept hoping this season would get better but by the time I saw Willy Wonka at a baby shower I knew there was no hope.

I would also like to add that if I were Bette, who had just dove into a pool at the sight of my dead neighbors body, I would most definitely NOT change into a power suit and meticulously fix my hair and makeup before heading down to an interrogation.

Furthermore, the showtime videos that are building Tina’s back story now that the series is over, PISS ME OFF.

I am a recent fan of TLW, but this season was just embarrassing. Did the writing change?? As a heterosexual, i loved the intimacy portrayed in these relationships, demonstrated primarily thru the writing. What happened to that writing?? How could these actresses let that happen??

I don’t think any of the characters were capable of murder. With two people talking about sweaters, I believe Jenny, who had bare shoulders, felt a chill in more ways than one after she spoke to Bette up on the balcony. It’s hard to believe she would take a swan dive off that balcony to kill herself with a splat on the cement and bounce into the pool. She was too hyped about the video she had just made and hoping everyone would praise her for a job well done, to kill herself. It was to be her redemption.

No, feeling the chill she went home in haste to get a sweater and accidently let the dog out. As she walked by the pool, the dog got under her feet, she slipped, hit her head on the edge of the pool, got knocked unconscious and drowned.

Why else was the dog suddenly there? It would have been up on the balcony with Jenny if it was out earlier.

As for Nikki, how long was she there? Tasha had to show her badge to get in after the discovery. While Nikki might have showed a tit, you have to think she had been there for sometime. Why didn’t the dog bark at her in the bushes? Maybe she saw the whole thing. Maybe she was afraid to come out because of her image. There are so many questions and variables that in the end it makes no sense whatsoever, except to confuse.

Why will Alice be in jail? Who said The Farm is a continuation of her L Word character? As convoluted as everything is, maybe she commits another crime we don’t even know about, like jay walking?

Honest to God I have never before, ever found a series ending to be so unfair, unjust, ridiculous and bizarre – you’d almost think Jenny wrote it.

While 6.8 was extremely well done from the flow of progression, it’s like the flow hits a barrier, a wall and just simply ends because the time TLW was given is up. All that seemed to matter to IC was that her favorite character, which is rumored to be herself when she was younger is dead, just like the fans wanted her to be and the loose ends are IC’s idea of punishing us for disliking the Jenny character so much.

Kris, you are so right. We were loyal despite what was thrown at us & I feel like she completely disregarded that.

I know for many years I dreamed I’d one day join the staff and make Haviland the star and Carly my co-writer and then it would be about the way that we live, and would probs still be not great, but be not that bad either. sigh. now there’s no hope.

You know what is really the saddest thing about all of this? What was once a brilliantly written, powerful, and much needed show has now been turned into an endless barrage of negative, scathing, and laughable reviews. And, that, Ilene and the powers that be, deserves a big SHAME ON YOU. It’s so sad. So very sad.

The only possible thing i can think of re: Nikki is that she wasn’t “hiding” in the bushes but was arriving on the scene afterwards VIA the bushes (go with it) and the cops heard rustling and drew their weapons and forced her out. Which would also explain why she would blurt out all her reasons for coming when she got to the living room (shock, confusion, retardation, etc.) But that doesn’t explain why she was crouching – I know my first reaction upon finding flashing lights and police tape all around my ex’s friends’ place wouldn’t be to immediately drop to my knees like, “oh shit, coppers! better hide!” but then she IS a movie star, so maybe she was hesitant to have her picture taken at the scene? Much better to have pictures taken of her at gunpoint with her hands in the air. you can’t buy that kind of press. But then also who cares.
