(If you read the whole thing it really is good, I promise)

Ok, I'm a die hard loyal 110% fan of the L Word, and a 1010% Fan of Bette & Tina. I love the Kiss Like so many of us did, as one Ourchart member said "if I muted my TV I'm sure I would have heard every lesbian fan screaming with joy"

Bravo Showtime and producers! Well with all that said lets get down to it. I have recently been captivated by reading the relationship forums here on ourchart, in some part searching for understanding on some serious issues I feel a bit lost on. Also I just LOVE reading EVERYONE's wonderful thoughts on the Bette/Tina/Jodi triangle.

Now the topic I find most interesting here on ourchart is the "Great Bi/Lesbian" debate. Which generally gets more heated than the 08 debates.

I asks everyone to sit with me as "I dissect my Own personal views" of the Bette & Tina romance all from the point of the kiss.

If you did Tivo it, watch it again, or watch the replay tonight on Showtime.
The kiss took place in what I call "3 vital parts". I believe so much can be said in just the expressions of the characters in the scene. Even the music track adds to my summary.

1st: Bette finally putting her guard down and taking Tina back.
Tina's stunned and doesn't want to let go, nor does she want Bette to let go. Totally savoring the moment.

2nd: Bette slowing down and in so many ways just telling her "this" "we are real". Tina breathes it all in knowing 100% where she wants to be FOREVER!

3rd: Bette is fighting herself and is forced to face her true feelings.
Tina stands strong for Bette and lets her know she will take care of her when she is weak. Tina OWNS this stage of the kiss. This part reminds ME so much of Boys on the side- "I got you baby"

Now I'm sure some people will not like me for MY OPINION but honestly it is my thoughts, so here goes.

In season 1 while we truly loved Bette we hated her actions, and the pain on Tina's face when she realized Bette's betrayal, an after they made angry love, she appeared broken at Alice house. If you have the DVD watch it again. Tina has always took good care of Bette whenever she is weak like in the shower that day.

In season 2 Bette fought kicking and screaming back into our good graces and won her lady back mind, body, and soul. Bette allowed Tina to take charge and accepted her terms completely, even as we wanted to scream an ask Tina not to tourture her too much. And we wanted to vanish Helena to a distant land far far away from our couple.

In season 3 we though we were going to lose our mind when Tina does the UNTHINKABLE she not only leaves Bette who worked so hard to get her back but she leaves for a MAN. OMG Oh no not the M word. Oh sorry Bette...

In season 4 we have a new target to blame. I LOVE Marley Matlin 100%. I even like Jodi to a good degree. Do I like her more than Bette & Tina not a chance. However was her character needed, YES 110%. First b/c we needed Bette to heal from the loss of Tina and to a man no less. We needed Bette even thought she is exteranally the strongest character, to be strong inside again.

We needed Tina to really think about what she wanted for her life. Also in some way we needed Tina to suffer and to fight for Bette since she did the actual leaving this past time. We needed Tina to stay the strong character she had become but still soft enough to admit that she was still completely in love with Bette and she *ucked Up. We tested her by making her be "just a friend" WOW she has grown so much as a character it is great.

Now Season 5 is here and we all want our Bette and Tina back no matter what. Jodi is not mean to Bette but WE want our Bette and Tina. Everyone gets so mad at Jodi come on give it a break. Bette can not fully commit to Jodi b/c her heart is with Tina and it always has been that's it.

The truth of the matter is this Bette needs Tina, and Tina needs Bette. THE KEY is they balance each other out. Remember last week when Tina told Jodi good for her for not letting Bette blow her off for a benefit. Tina understands now where she often in standing by Bette and being there for her she did not always stand up for what SHE really wanted or more importantly NEEDED. So Bette not b/c she didn't love Tina totally blew stuff off. Bette was too business consumed and self involved at times, this is true if we admit it or not.

Now I ask this, do we dislike Tina b/c she did in fact leave Bette for a "MAN" and it did hurt Bette a lot. Do we believe that Tina is a 100% Lesbian or do we believe that Tina is just 100% in love with Bette and doesn't want anyone else (man or woman)? Lets remember Tina was originally dating a man when Bette literally stole her heart and they started out. I believe that is season 2 we see this. Tina left Bette b/c she felt incomplete. Hey Bette cheated but Tina did at least come to Bette and tell her she was thinking about being with a man, SHE did not cheat at that point. Bette closed her off and instead of looking at their relationship and herself, or asking Tina more about this Bette shut down.

I believe that it was easy for Tina b/c she felt being with a man was easier b/c it is mostly physical, season 4 "what were we thinking, We were thinking we liked *ucking each other and it was fun" Tina and whatever his name was arguing in the kitchen. LOL

Bette & Tina rule, but it also reminds me of QAF we could not wait for Brian to tell Justin his feelings and it was well worth the wait. I do not think you have to be a lesbian to love a truly beautiful love story.

Also and I know everyone will really dislike this, I really believe Tina is bi but 100% in love with Bette, no one man or woman can mean more to Tina than Bette. Hey this is my feeling. It is based on the fact that I have NEVER met a Lesbian= "a woman who only likes women" ENJOY having sex with a real guy on more than one occasion watch season 3 again, Tina looked like she was definitely enjoying herself, then later the next season she looks at Bette and realizes they were more than sex they were Lovers and Partners.

Season 5 "so what are you doing for sex" "Its not like when we were together I didn't go months without sex" The Bette and Tina romance is heating up and it will be a battle for us to get them back together the season just started Showtime is not going to give them back to us so easy without a fight.

Well folks if anyone read this whole thing what do you think of my synopsis?
