Last Long Lingering Look at The L Word

Some of you have already seen the press release. Showtime has ordered a 6th and final season of The L Word!

First, let me just say how happy we are. I speak for my colleagues – actors, writers and producers – when I say that it means the world to us to have the opportunity to close this phase of the incredible journey we’ve all been on these past six years.

We’re not saying goodbye yet. We haven’t even wrapped up season five. We haven’t reconvened in the writer’s room and ranted and raved and debated and psychoanalyzed and snacked excessively on carrots and organic rice chips and pitched our hearts out for weeks on end. We haven’t packed up our dogs and our cars and our unruly, barely portable lives and trucked up to Vancouver for the long summer. There’s a lot of toil still ahead of us – a lot of storytelling, a lot of romance and, no doubt, some rancor and scads and scads of drama. We’re nowhere near goodbye.

Now is the time for you to let us know what you want – what you absolutely need to know before we’re through. If you read that press release, you know that Showtime has promised even more interactivity than in season five – during which we shot and incorporated a scene conceived by a fan, and delivered some wish fulfillment to a veritable nation of people known as Tibetters. We are in the process of figuring out exactly what form this interactive component will take. If you have any ideas, let us know. Hell, we can even be interactive about figuring out how to incorporate your interactivity. In any event, as soon as we come up with a format, it will be posted here on OurChart; and in the meantime, we’re listening, talking, taking it all in, probably thinking many of the same thoughts ourselves.

Thank you for helping to make season five such an incredible success for us. This triumphant sixth and final season is due in no small part to your watching The L Word in record numbers in 2008 and supporting the show with passionate involvement. I hope you enjoy the last two episodes of our penultimate installment, and stay with us on OurChart. The girls will be out – the L Word girls and many others – and we’ll be announcing some new projects and plans and making promises – lots of promises.

I see so many fans begging

I see so many fans begging for The L Word NOT to end. I agree with all of them. This show has been everything it was intended to be and so much more. As it is said, All good things must come to an end. I believe that whole-heartedly, however this series is not ready to end. There is so much more story to tell, there are so many unanswered questions. To end this series after season 6 is simply not fair. It is not fair to the viewers, who get 8 episodes in the final season. It will either be that everything is crammed into episodes, or there is so much left. IT is not fair to the show, it has been so inspirational for so long; this one of the most powerful television dramas ever. And I don't think that is fair to the cast, they have been so dedicated and to leave them with so many people wanting more. We crave their talent.
With all of that being said, I would love to see Marina come back...she and Jenny had so much chemistry. So much that it is comparable to Tibette. What other show has that much chemistry?? For Season 6, we need a Jenny/Marina reunion, and most importantly the Tibette wedding. I have been wondering when it is coming. I would love to see more Tibette sex scenes. It's hot and more than the sexiness of it, when you watch a Tibette scene you can see how they love each other. Please, Please, Please, more Tibette.

I believe

It is completely fair to have the show end, we were lucky enough to get 5 seasons!!! I am amazed, and happy that they got a season six, how much more could we ask for, obviously it's not good enough. Not that I want the show to end!! Who knows maybe some day we will get an L word movie!! Sometimes people need to let go, and give others a break.

TALICE LOVE IN SEASON 6!!!

the best talice fanvid ever!!! the writers need to give it a look!

LOVE AND AFFECTION

(With a smirk and rolling the eyes)...lol...A plea to Judge Ilene. As soon as I heard Showtime would be airing a show called "Earthlings" then changed to the
"L Word" starring Jennifer Beals, I knew it would be a success. No, I didn't call and subscribe to Showtime. I waited to rent the dvd's of season 1 & 2 later I would receive my copies earlier.

Season 1:
I immediately was blown away by the chemistry of Jennifer & Laurel. I've never seen that connection on televison before between characters. And its not about love scenes. I actually wished you would have given Jennifer & Laurel more scene time. You never let Bette and Tina communicate...You seemed to focus on Mia's character Jenny, she gets most time onscreen, and it hasn't changed for 5 seasons. You struck gold with them but threw it away at the end of season 1. You had them doomed from the pilot episode.

I know the focus on Jenny is because the character is based on you. Time to check the ego at the door.

Season 3 & 4
Hard to watch. I only watched season 4 once and one or two episodes of season 3 a few times more.

I guess after season 1 & 2 I saw the collapse of the family unit, the nuclues, the core that made the L Word:
Jennifer, Laurel, Erin, Kate, Leisha, Mia, Pam, & Karina
You lost faith in those actresses. Additional cast members weren't necessary (but I love Rachael). I've never seen a show with so many changes.

And killing Dana what a mistake. A missed opportunity to show a cancer survivor, maybe in some ways comforting real cancer survivors. What a journey you could have let Dana travel. I'm sure Erin would have sunk her teeth into the challenge.

I also thought of Erin in the "God Father" scene. She would have been hilarious...yeah and the "party brownies". I miss Erin.

As for Season 5 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You certainly tried to redeem yourself. You reunited Bette & Tina, best thing you've done. Showcase the talent of Jennifer & Laurel. All the wasted time when you could have given the audience the Bette & Tina love story, their journey they would travel, the obstacles they would face and overcome. The audience was cheated. But, for the first time you gave back a little. You gave Bette & Tina the longest scene onscreen. I believe it was episode 7 "Lights Camera, Action" I think it was 5 min 38 secs. It was the second love scene but this time you wrote a beginning, middle & end.
But you have to give them new moves, same moves as the last love scene in the pilot..lol. Although you did allow Jennifer to speak saying she missed Tina, something you cut out of the pilot.
Alas, Poor Jennifer making sure she's covered up (good for her).

I just wish you would have done that it the earlier scene (one with Joan Armatrading song..love that song I wanted to hear the end). But still not enough...And I couldn't leave out "Liquid Heat" where you gave them 4 minutes of dialogue, a conversation allowing them to express their thoughts, explaining their action and feelings, and being accountable for their actions. And of course the scene stealer "I Love You" (6 minutes plus total from scene entering & exiting elevator..lol). I did have to chuckle at the season finale...just in case you weren't renewed you gave everyone the final dance and kiss Bette & Tina would share...And all I'm thinking is there dancing to no music but the still got rhythm.

Now Season 6:
You have to get rid of all the actresses and focus on the the family who made the show a success.

1) (Now that its legal to marry in California a season finale should be a Bette & Tina wedding)
Bette & Tina engagement (Tina proposing), then wedding. More screen time for Jennifer & Laurel. This is the last time let this incredibily talented duo light up the screen.

2) Let Shane find her peace. You made another mistake having her cheat with Nikki. Shane would never do that to Jenny. I'm sure Kate wasn't too thrilled.

3) Less Jenny. I'm glad you finally brought her back down to earth. It's nice to see the old Jenny back, but that's basically what the past 5 season have been. The majority of the episodes focused on Jenny (she had the most screen time).

4)No, Jenny & Shane hookup. Shane is looking for forgiveness and friendship.

5) Leisha & Kate in scenes together always comic relief.
And Jane Lynch you hit a gold mine there, (if you love Jane rent "Best in Show" "A Mighty Wind"...she can sing too!!).

6)How about celebrating a holiday...Christmas...Tina proposing to Bette.

7)No Helena and "Lover Cindy" hookup.
Bring back Dylan.

8)Keep Holland Taylor in the mix somewhere. She's great as Peggy Peabody.

In closing I guess the show will never be great because Erin isn't there. There is a void that can't be filled. You made the attempt when you allowed Laurel, Leisha, & Kate to share screen time together and I enjoed it but...Erin.

I guess I'm looking for a happy ending....and why not?? Your not weak if you want a happy ending, just the opposite. Power in TRUTH.

Peace, Light & Love

Our broken hearts.....

First I want to say I am crushed that the L Word will end in season six. There so much more story to tell. I will love to see Ilene fight to keep it on the air. All us fans have been signing petitions writing letters doing what we can.

I agree we did not get to see enough of Tina and Bette throughout these seasons. They are the power couple. Their chemistry on screen is amazing, JB and LH make 9 1/2 weeks look boring. I never seen two people on screen have more chemistry, when they look at each other, and touch each other, it's so sensual and sexy! You believe they really are in love. I too want to see them have more scenes that are heart felt, I want to see them really express their feelings for each other. I would like to see Bette propose to Tina. Have Alice throw them a crazy fun wedding shower. More hot love scenes. More moments together with Angelica (no more kids though). Ok maybe one more good intense fight scene, but not over cheating! Maybe Henry pops in town and Tina goes to lunch with him, and Bette see's (he's there just to say he's getting married) and Bette's thinks she's seeing him again, which gets them into another big fight like in season one, where Tina finds out Bette has cheated. This fight ends with them in a hot hot love scene and Tina proving her undieing love for Bette and Bette for Tina!
I hope Showtime gives us more seasons! If that is impossible do a Tibette Series, find another network! Or do the L Word movie! Something has to be done! This show is way to good and hot to end! And we can not get enough of Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman together.....

Scary much?

Why/how is it that every time I come to this page, every few days, somehow this SAME post by this SAME person has been deleted/edited and bumped to the top of the page every single time...?

Some of you rabid Tibette fanatics seriously do WORRY ME.

I have no issues with your post itself, it's just the way you go about getting it across. Like no one else's opinions and suggestions can possibly top yours.

"Three of my ex-girlfriends are now lesbians..." -ANGUS, 3x02

thoughts on Ms Ilene Chaiken’s pod cast secret ingredient 512

I have watched Ms Ilene Chaiken’s pod cast secret ingredient 512 … I hope they don’t push through with the idea of pairing up Shane and jenny because for me I don’t think it is a good idea because they are friends and hope to stay that way.. yes Shane did a bad thing in the last episode of season 5 but if jenny is really a friend she should forgive her and move on as being the best of friends as what they have established since the start. Friends are friends no matter what.. Like what Shane has said in season 5 ep 10 pertaining on her and jenny hooking up “I figure out that just because you can it doesn’t mean you should”..
Shane should clean up her act. She should win molly back, and explain to her that she was just confused because of that judgmental Philly’s and because she really loves her she’s is scared of hurting her that is why she did that and now she have realized her mistakes. She should prove to that Philly’s that she can and wants to change for the better because it is what she’s been trying to do from season 3,4,5. and since it’s the last season (as you’ve said.. which I hope is not ) Shane should be given the chance to prove that she can do something also for herself (like what Ms. Kate Moennig said in an interview she wants a career change for Shane maybe that is why her character (Shane) is talking about photography with molly.) Of all the main characters.. Bette(the big art world lady) Tina(the movie producer)Alice(the talk show host)Dana(the tennis player champ) Helena (the rich girl who learned her lesson of not being a brat) kit(the café owner) jenny(the writer/director which tina said her movie turned out good) shane is the only one who is not that “established” maybe she should excel in her photography and then it will be a big ‘slap’ on phillys who since the start always belittles her.. (that shane doesn’t even heard what proust is.. that shane is not her friend she is just fun to party with etc)…in season 1 it was mentioned that she is a 25 yr old hair dresser right? So how old is she by now maybe its time for her to be successful in what she does. I mean there is nothing wrong with being a hairdresser there are lots of successful hairdressers all over but Shane was not established as one. Clean her up we (I maybe talking for some of the viewers) want to see her as established as the others and has good lasting relationship with whoever (but I prefer molly) because we all want a good long lasting relationship (am I not right?) and has to work hard for that relationship to work just like any other couple whether gay or straight. Not because it is easy to get out of one relationship means she should never try to make it last.
As for alice she should try to work things out with tasha.. It is sad to see that all that hardships they’ve been though will go to waste

This as you’ve said is the last season for the L word maybe it is nice to see that every relationship or every person in a relationship is trying to work things out. That it is worth taking the risk of getting involve with one person because it has meaning and it is great and wonderful to be in love that even gays works hard in trying to keep their relationship works..there maybe bumps along the road but in the end all things will go on smoothly.. like with Bette and Tina’s.
And how about that backstabbing ungrateful Adele.. will you just let her get away with what she did to jenny?
For me L word is about friendship, caring and being there for one another despite the odds.. it is nice to have such kind of friends.

I hope you got my point..I hope I did made sense and I hope I did not bore all of you who read this.
Thanks for reading this. :)

My thoughts

I think the reason Showtime won't go beyond six seasons has to do with our "throw-away" culture. Things are discarded because they aren't new -- even though they work. L-Word is a popular show, it should stay on. It would be nice to see the characters grow old and develop in new and interesting ways.

And I'd really like to see an Asian character -- a positive one who'll stick around for the whole sixth season.

Sign the Petition...........

WE'RE TRYING !!!

SIGN THE PETITION.........NO DONATION REQUIRED !!!!!

WE HAVE 20,500 signatures , as of now. More every minute.

SAVE THE L WORD~~~~~~~~ IT'S NOT JUST SHOWTIME, ILENE NEEDS TO LISTEN.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Save_The_L_Word

PEACE ;-))

Im going to put my two sense in..

Ilene has listened plenty of times *cough* Bette, and Tina *cough*, so this petition tells Ilene that people love the show, but it's not going to be the deciding factor for the show to keep on going, its what ilene and everyone that are working on the show wants, not the fans, but yeah we are a big factor in this, but a piece of paper can sometimes make things worse, and just annoying...

Hi Mcadian.....

This is not about Bette and Tina. Although the momentum, originally, started at Tibette.com.

When I first started the post and petition (March 12) at Tibette, I originally felt that the girls over there could really help. Their positive attitudes and pro-active personalities have been an amazing testament to how far reaching the L Word has been. These girls are from all over the globe. I have spoken to girls in France,Spain, Italy, Australia,Japan,South America....... it has been phenomenal. The enthusiasm, globally, is amazing.

Please, Mcadian..... go to the petition website and read the 'comments' placed there by those signing the petition. There are over 20,500 comments. Most are heartfelt...... from members of the LGBTQ community , their families and friends and straight viewers alike.

It's not about "loving" the show, as much as it is about how the L Word has opened hearts and minds. It's helped to bring people together.

Gender identification, racism, sexism, homophobia, violence, insecurity, sexual identity, bisexuality ,commitment, loyalty, love, lust, pain ,joy, child birth,infidelity. Every beautiful human trait , every horrible human trait. We've experienced them, on the L Word, as a reflection of OUR LIVES. It has encouraged thousands and thousands to face their identity issues with courage and a sense of self respect. ( I have the e-mails to prove it).

When all is said and done, only Showtime and Ms.Chaiken will know the REAL reason that the show has been cancelled. It was a bilateral contract that created the L Word. Neither is a "victim" of the other.

I will forever be proud that I started a movement, who's roots were based in the hope of encouraging the dialog between Ms. Chaiken and Showtime.

Where this goes, I really don't know. I'm through trying to encourage others to care. This has been for those whose lives needed encouragement and strength.

Peace&Love

uhm

this post from you seems very familiar, I am sorry I will not sign the petition..

Cool....

Hey, I understand. No worries.

Peace&Love :-)

..

Good luck to you tho!
Peace

- the reason I will not sign the petition is because I feel we need to give the cast and crew some space, it feels to crowded on these boards with unthankfulness, and selfishness, enjoy what we got! :)

Mcadian~~~~~

No reason to explain. Hey, everyone has to do as their conscience guides them.

I appreciate your being so candid, it's all good.

Very sad to see it go

why is it that friends lasted for 10 years and other great strait shows lasted but when a great show like the L word is on now they want to cut it? why? i love the l word an dont want to see it go at all. i love watching it an i love all the people on it well except for jenny. i guess i jus dont get why the l word has to go. the show is way better than will an grace...ugh im just really sad to read that the show will be gone.

Yeah. The worst part is that

Yeah. The worst part is that Friends SSSSUCKED with a capital ess.

My ultimate Tibette scene...For season 6

Okay Folks.. Here it goes. I'm new at this so please forgive me.lol ..I'm a little nervous.lol.

Season 6 The L word

Setting,
Bette's house, the morning.Tina is in the kitcken making her and Bette breakfast to go, and pouring two cups of coffee.Angelica has just finished her breakfast, and has moved into the living room to play with her puzzles.. Bette is walking down the hallway toward Angie. She is wearing a pair of black pants and a fitted chocolate brown suit jacket with nothing underneath. It's showing the slightest bit of cleavage.

Bette
Morning boo, did you finish all your breakfast already?

Angelica
Yup

Bette
Good girl, you can play for a few more minutes, then momma b will take you to school. Okay.

Angelica
Okay Momma

Bette bends down and kisses Angie on the forehead.She heads toward the kitchen.Her arms crossed over putting in her right earing,exposing her beautiful long neck and her sexy cleavage.She turns the corner to find Tina holing a cup of coffee for her.

Bette
Morning baby

Tina's jaw drops.She is taken aback by Bett's beauty.Tina is staring at Bette,blushing,looking her up and down.
Bette see's her and looks down at herself.

Bette
What's the matter? Do I look that bad? should I go change.

Tina
oh, no baby.Are you kidding me. You look so fucking sexy right now I just want to jump you right here in the kitchen.

Bette smiles takes the coffee from Tina's hand and places it on the counter.She pulls Tina towards her

Bette
Come here you

They kiss with passion.

Bette
You know. You're not so bad yourself. My sexy little blonde bombshell.

Tina smiles,leans in and whispers in bette's ear.

Tina
I dont know how i'm gonna get through the day.I'm gonna be thinking about you all day.

Bette
I have a feeling we are both going to be in big trouble tonight.

Tina
I think you might be right.

Bette
I have an important meeting today with Phyliss and the board members.I promiss I wont be too late.

Tina
You better not be, I dont think I will last.

Tina steals another kiss as her hand travels up Bette's top.

Bette,still kissing Tina
Uh,come on Sweat Pea, let's go before both your mommies get into trouble.

Bette steps back composing herself looking into Tina's eyes.

Bette
Love you

End scene

Later that day Tina in the her car calling Bette at work.
Bette is in the board room with Phyliss and the rest of the board members having a heated disscusion. They hear a knock at the door. James enters.

James
Sorry to interupt, Bette,Tina is on line One. She said it was an emergency.

Bette stands up from her seat. a horrified look of fear on her face.

Bette
Excuse me for a moment. i have to take this.

Bette picks up the phone.

Bette
Tee, are you okay? Is everything okay? Oh my God, is Angie Okay?

Tina
Yeah baby everything is fine. Angie is with Kit. I just called to tell you that I have not been able to focus all day. You looked soo fucking hot today. I have been a wreck ever since this morning.

Bette now blushing, turns to face the others only to find them staring at her,she smiles at them

Bette

Bette

Tina

Bette

Tina

Bette trying to compose herself

Bette
Ok then. I,ah,I will see you at home..Bye.

Bette hangs up the phone and heads to her chair, shaking,sweating, blushing.She sits down next to Phyliss and looks up at her..

Phyliss
Bette, are you alright. Christ, you look like you just ran a marathon.

Bette in a daze
Uh, what, uh, yeah I'm fine.Uh Tina needs milk.

Bette smiles.

Phyliss

Bette pulling on her jacket in obvious heat

Bette

They all look at her confused as to what has just happened.

Bette puts both hands on the desk and starts to get up

Bette
Okay, So are we done here?

before anyone can answer

Bette
Good, Great I will see you all tommorow.

Bette rushes out the door. The board members all left looking at each other,confused.Phyliss is the only one that gets it.She laughs to herself.

Phyliss whispers to herself
Bette,You dog you..

End Scene.

Ilene please please please

Ilene please please please dont let it end! This show is the most inspirational show I have ever seen. I dont even watch TV that much except for The L word and the only reason I even subscribe to Showtime is for the L word. I dont buy movies or box sets or anything like that but I have every season of your show. I also dont think Ive ever seen so many people make such an issue about a show ending. There are petitions and blogs posted and people calling Showtime threatning to cancel their subscriptions. I cant imagination why they would want to end it. It seems to me this should be a big money-maker for them right now. All I have to say is if it does end it will have been the most unforgetable show I have ever seen. You definitly have fullfilled your accomplishments if thats what you were going for. I was a fan of queerasfolk but I still didnt feel the passion as I do in your story. And the cast is just amazing. I dont think Ive ever seen a cast that connected as well as they do. They just seem like they have been friends their whole lives. You can call it good acting but thats damn good. And Bette and Tina, Jennifer and Laurel however you want to put it, they are meant for each other...on and off the set. They just have something...a connection, a spark...whatever you want to call it. Its incredible. If this has to be it I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and you will never know how much your story touched so many lives.

talice love in season 6!!!

true love  love

BRING BACK

BRING BACK CARMEN PLS PLS PLS

LOVE and AFFECTION

DELETED

Sharmen

Bring back Carmen, please. I love the first two seasons especially and the third two, did go downhill after that I'll admit, still watched religiously. Bette and Tina, Shane and Carmen, somehow and many, many group scenes and maybe some more party brownies.

I visualize the opening segment of the sixth season...

with Tina and Bette moving into their new home. They need to get out of Bette's house and leave behind all the energy and ghosts. It's time for a new beginning - where they can now be equal partners. (Kit will of course be looking after Angie and keeping these two fed).

What better way to explore the re-birth of their relationship then to have them back in the honeymoon stage? It's time for this couple to have some fun! Let them christen their new home! Intersperse that with serious dialogue about a lot of their unresolved issues (laced with re-assurances of love and longing). Then have them invite their 'core group' of friends over for a painting party. I see reminising of a least one crazy incident that happened in the past. Paint could start flying at some point - Bette and Helena both object at first, then simultanieously just let go and go with the flow (this will remind us how similar these two are)...Shane and Jenny are going to have some un-resolved issues and perhaps this could be a platform for them to confront each other for the first time (until now Jenny had been avoiding Shane).

For the duration of the season, I see Tina and Bette being the stable (fun) couple that everyone starts coming to again...just like in the beginning. Have Tascha and Alice, Shane and Jenny all looking to them for council. Of course they will object - I can hear Tina say, "You guys, we are far from the poster couple. You saw everything we have been through." One of the friends (maybe Shane) will remind them that yes, we did see what you went through and the fact that you two found each other again gives us hope...

The series should end with some sort of wedding ceremony. Angie would make an adorable flower girl! ;)

******
"Change is created by those whose imaginations are bigger than their circumstances." Unknown

It's over????

First of all i have to agree with whoever made the point of us having 30 years of a soap opera and only six years of the L word. I would have followed this show for the rest of my life, but i can see that you are incredibly grateful for the time you were allowed. I am grateful as well, it was so great to finally see parts of my life depicted on television, characters i could identify with as a woman instead of having to relate to the character of a man on every other show i've ever watched. It was amazing and i thank you for bringing it to us.

Now for some wishful thinking. I am a devoted tibettan and would love to see them stay happy and drama free for this last season. They've both done everything else there is to do, made every feasable mistake and come back to each other more stronger and evolved as ever. The elavator therapy was probably my favorite ep of the season, not just for the sex, but for how beatiful their revelations were beforehand. They truly belong together. I wouldn't mind seeing a nice wedding ceremony wrap it all up on the final ep.

This is a stretch,i know, i would love to see Marina come back and snap Jenny back into her humanity. IMO, jenny's character just went downhill after Marina left, i don't think she ever fully recovered from that heartbreak and i'd love to see them end up together. Their chemistry/ forbidden romance from the first season was my abosolute favorite. Mia played that whole thing so well, i miss her character the way it was.

I would give most anything to see carmen again, i think shane needs that closure if nothing else. I would love for Carmen to understand why she did what she did, Carmen to find out what shane's father said to her and to just "get her" like nobody else has. She's gotten the closest in my opinion to really seeing shane for who she is and loving her anyway. I would love to see that reunion, to see shane finally settle down, with Carmen.

And i'm definately rooting for Talice, i love them both.

Mixed Feelings

If showtime wants to end the series, does that really have to be the end of such a spectacular concept?? I was over joyed when a show of this caliber was brought to television. Season five especially spoke volumes to my life personally (Tasha & Alice's relationship). I am happy about the success of the show and broken hearted that it will be over....

Does Showtime have the ability to make it very special ?

So, IF Showtime wants to make it special, let's make it available to the whole world. And therefore understand how many viewers from abroad they can get. So far, mostly in a way which has not been rewarding to them (illegal download, pirate VCDs all over Asia, and so on). I'm still going for a pay-per-view that could be available to the whole world. Is it that hard for them to make ?

What do I absolutely want from the LWord ... more screen time ? i've been ranting about how little 12 episodes are and the answer is, that 12 isn't little enough, we'll have 8. Hello, anyone home ? Is my english so poor ? I might know the reason. But hey, I live in a country where strike is a way of life, so I also know what it means AFTER. You have to keep up. There are many talented writers, who are waiting for their turn. Let's give them a chance. At leats it could have been a 24 episodes last adventure.... Last adventure ? I doon't want to hear that word "last". "Last" should be banned ffrom the "L" dictionary.

Ok, I've never come out as one, really, but I am a Tibetter ; I understand I am not very original here. I'm an incorrigible romantic. And to me, they embody my romantic view of things (and they lived happily ever after and raised many Chinese children ...). Well that's fiction for god's sake. So I'm happy but the subject could be studied forever : is it because one long-lasting relationship has once been depicted that everybody stopped filming and scrutinising love stories ? So .... Tina has matured, I want to know if Bette has too. Indeed she has understood Tina was the love of her life - it happens for some, good for them. Will she be more aware of what's going o around her ? Will we see the ultimate romantic Bette demonstrate her real commitment to Tina ? Once you've come back from so many difficulties, I'd say you feel like you need to act differently.

Nonetheless, it's a shame Jodi should be written off, especially since there are only 8 episodes. I had never seen anywehere else before a deaf actor/actrress being casted in a TV show, especially for such a long time. She brings a lot. She has also proven she was part of the friends. She needs time and adjustement. She needs to heal and get over her pain. I want to see her happy, with someone else, but which will not make unhappy a third protagonist ! - that's the hardest part with you ;-) Actually I'd go for a happy ending for everyone, for your own sake as I like you (lol) : would you want years having people chasing you because you killed off someone else/ some relationship in the show.

My personnal question : for the past 5 seasons, we've seen a very 'volage' (fickle ?) Shane. Some say : that's her nature. Hmmmm ... I know that tables have a nature and they can't evolve once it is fixed, but human have the ultimate possibility to think. People evolve, at least, if they do not completely change. Well, ok, nowadays very few people actually think which is why ver few people change. They just behave like tables. "I've been a table for a century why should it change ?" Oh, well. Because what's doesn't evolve is condemned to disappear. So, is there hope for Shane ? let's play this theory : people who have come close to death do figure out a few things. You'll frighten fans, but this might enlighten Shane.

Bring back that Molly character, she's hilarious. It could be interesting to see where it goes, with Shane. Because if Molly is supposed to a straight character, I know for experiencing it that straight women - if they are really straight - when they fall for you happen not to fall for any other woman. Actually they are not interested in women at all. So there would be little point of having Molly in a coming out process with anyone else. Could you tell the story of a straight woman who falls for a gay one, which is quite disturbing for everybody as she doen't fall with the way of life (she doesn't feel the need to come out, to feel proud, she doesn't feel politcially engaged, she's not paying attention to women in the street, but she doesn't hesitate to engage in a story with you, and be with your friends).

I'd love to see Alice fail in her attempt of resisting temptation. So that she learns the lesson (but in the end, they will have to work it out to get that happy ending i was referring to sooner !). It's funny and it happens everyday. Judgemental people who actually do actually what they once condemned.

What ese, oyeah, I want strong Helena back again, I missed her in S5, and couldn't be happier to her lietraly shine in S6. She too has matured a lot. Now, she can help out some of her friend's problems. Like buying the movie studio and firing Adele ! But I want to understand afterwards what is happening inside Adele. She's interesting (well, evil characters are fascinating). I would like to see Helena in a relationship, where she doesn't lose herself and her own pride. Somebody of her level.

Let Jenny come back, get over Shane, sometimes people mix up excellent frienship with something else. Personally I don't buy it. But they're the best friends ever, IMHO. However, it takes time to forgive. Let's talk about it.

I'd love to have an asian cast member. Are asians that invisible in the US too ? Incredible there are nearly two billions chinese and so few on TV shows. What about Lucy Liu, or even better, Christy Chung (from Samsara)..... Any of them could be either an artist (=>jodi) or a philantropist billionaire (=>Helena).

Yes, that's all I REALLY want to see. Lot's of friends gathering, sex (season 5 is a "bon cru" !), love, friendship ... and drama. :-P Be witty, dary and politically incorrect. With Alice working in TV, you could demonstrate a little bit more how ignorant and full of themselves most TV presenters are. And that what matters most to so many of them is the "spectacular" not truth and education.

I wish you, the team (cast, crew, production), and us, fans from all over the world, best of luck and success. This should never stop. Why on earth are we getting 30 years of "The bold and the beautiful" and only 6 years of the "LWord". This world is really walking on its head.

ISN'T IT GOING TO CHANGE?!?!?!

the entire world DOES NOT want it to end and you guys just don't seem to care about it.....

Um...

WHO doesn't seem to care?

I mean, do you really think the cast and crew and creative team of The L Word are NOT at the mercy of the big ol' greedy NETWORK that decides whether or not to air/fund it?

Unless you're referring to something else entirely, perhaps you should grow up and/or do a little research before posting misguided anger on a public forum... Because if you want the show to give you what you want, being nice and articulate or at least constructive goes a long way.

jeez girl, the only anger I

jeez girl, the only anger I felt was on your reply... no reason for all that.
keep that kinda comment to yourself please?
thank you.

Ilene, Please Read!!

For the first five seasons, most of the airtime was spent on Jenny. For season 6, can it be on Bette and Tina? Please. By far, Tibette has the greatest fan base over anyone else. If we cannot have more seasons, please give us memories that we can always carry in our hearts.

As for what I would love to see in S6.

1. Lots of great sex, after all they are in the honeymoon phase. Also, allow us to have a beginning, middle, and an end to the scene like you did in ep. 506, the second love scene. Additionally, at least one jaw dropping orgasmic sex scene.

2. Tina buy back the Kiki Smith prints that Bette sold in ep.303, and give them to her as a wedding gift.

3. Bette singing to Tina in a romantic and intimate setting.

4. Bette in her power suits, her best look. Miss Alpha
Bette. Can we have her back?

5. Proposal and a wedding between Bette and Tina.

6. Travel, we have heard how they use to travel, but we have never seen them go anywhere together.

7. Tina's past/parents. We know very little about Tina.

8. Tibette happy and playful with lots of laughing.

9. A flashback to the very first time Bette and Tina made love.

10. Group scenes.

11. Focus on the core cast. No new characters!!!!

12. The last episode jump ahead 10 years and let us see Tibette together and in love like they are in ep.512.

Lastly, none of the following: pregnancy, deaths, comas, Tibette break-up, Shenny, or psycho Jenny.

dont want to end TLW :(

i want sharmen back, :)

jenny and nikki forever (cute couple)

i just want JENNY AND NIKKI! :)

Fun Conga Gays in season 6

Oh my

Oh my god
WHAT?
nooooooo
*cries*
No this can't be real.

100% bring back carmen!!

The unresolved nature of the "Carmen/Shane" relationship is like a melting ice cream in summer that no-one can lick. I'd really like to see these two at least meet up again.

The beauty of Tina and Bette is that they have accomplished a lot of personal development. To see Bette fight and stay true to Tina. To see Tina keep that confident spark she's gained over the last few episodes.

Alice - get with an Aussie! An Australian would be perfect for her! Relaxed, charismatic, goofy but intelligent.

I'd love to see Kit be someone's hero - get the CD back on track!

Tash

jenny and shane is a MUST

jenny and shane is a MUST for me in season 6.
they are each others soulmates.

hmm well I'd like to see

hmm well I'd like to see Sholly and JenNiki

but I would love to see more of Souder, the only guy I love on TLW lol

SHOLLY & JENIKKI!!

What's the point in watching season 6 without these couples!! We've had Tibette back & forth for 5 seasons. Now fans want younger couples that appeal to them & me!!

PLEASE IC, KATE FRENCH & CLEMENTINE FORD MUST RETURN!!

The L Word Shane Molly Sholly Banner

Which fans?

Please stop with the generalizations - we don't ALL want to see "young" couples! I'm 24 and the thought of watching people my age screw up their lives and make naive mistakes makes me yawn. If I wanted that, I'd turn the TV off and go watch my peers live out their pathetic existence instead.

Or maybe just shoot myself in the head.

Molly was decent (LOVE Clementine!) but there's no depth to Niki whatsoever. I really would be disappointed at the idea of this creative series wasting one more minute of its now VERY valuable screen time on a plot device like Niki. I can't imagine how all twelve of the Jeniki's would be feeling about her if Kate French hadn't been so aesthetically appealing. ;P

I can't stop laughing at that statement!! ;) BTW-I do agree with it...

******
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt

I agree

Don't try to generalize that all young lesbians like Jenikki because they are young and older women like Bette and Tina.

I liked Nikki and Jenny at first and Kate French is hot. But I agree. Nikki has no depth and no appeal other than being sexy and cute. And...she cheated on Jenny TWICE in the span of a month. Why does anyone even want them together? You can't even compare them to Bette and Tina who were together 8 years and have a child. Jenny should just move on and be done. The movie is finished and so is their "romance". Jenny will get over Nikki quicker than their relationship lasted.

"I can't imagine how all

"I can't imagine how all twelve of the Jeniki's would be feeling about her if Kate French hadn't been so aesthetically appealing. ;P"

well all I have to say is that the reason I (or most of us) would like her to be back is that they don't just make a cute couple, it's that they've been portrayed as being in love. I like the new Jenny, the one who enjoys herself and is happy being with someone who truly adores her.
I know that we have different opinions concerning that, I just wanted to make it clear that it's not just about Niki's boobs ;)

Fun Conga Gays in season 6

double post sorry

...

No doubt

It's no doubt Jenny's madly in love with Niki. I would really like to see how Niki would react when she finds out Jenny was just declaring her love for her minutes before all the chaos happened!
I think Niki would be devastated, and hopefully she can do everything she could to win Jenny back. :D

Jenniki works magic!

___________________________________________________________

Kate French :I know that a lot of relationships don't last on "The L Word" but Mia and I are begging to keep us together.
+ + + + + +

And maybe for some

And maybe for some explanations, it would be great to have a flashback of this "afternoon" Jenny is talking about in her speech (what makes her understand that she was madly in love with someone?).

For Shane and Jenny

Please let them be happy together we've been waiting for so long
