Yes, I wrote to Mr. Greenblatt supporting the L Word, and customer service wrote back stating it will be ending season 6, bla, bla, bla.....and she will forward my letter. Yes, I can not believe it neither. I am ready to cancel Shotime right now, but then I will have to order Showtime when season six comes back on. I am confused if it's just showtime, or if this is coming from the writers of the show and maybe some cast members....???? That they want to just end it. I don't remember in my life time people fighting to keep a show on the air. But this tells me that people love the show. So why would a network end it??? If the L Word really ends, I will never get addicted to another show again! This really sucks!!!! All the support the L Word is getting, Showtime should give it's viewers what they want, if not put it on another network like so many people have said. If it goes to HBO, I will order HBO that day! I will be so sad not to get to see Laurel Holloman and Jennifer Beals together, and I will miss Alice, she is so crazy funny. This has stressed me out beyond belief!

Ilene,
Why do we have to accept the termination of OUR show? It is hard to believe that Showtime would want to end a show that is so successful, and it only indicates to me that the network executives are uninterested in the impact that the show is having on the lives of women all over the world. As Tina and Jenny said "this is our movie". Well, "TLW IS OUR SHOW"; we have all contributed to its success, and can continue to keep it alive if you take it online. I will gladly cancel my subscription to Showtime and contribute at least the same amount I was paying for Showtime for the production and online broadcast of each episode. I would be willing to bet that all the people who signed the petition will do the same.

Ilene, you broke new grounds with this show, and you have built a strong, passionate network who wants to help you (we demonstrated that in season 5). You have the audience, and the Internet is the perfect medium to transcend the limitations of traditional media outlets. Please explore this possibility and let us know how we can help you make it a reality.

Five years is long enough, please make it happen, Shane and Jenny together!

Thank you,IC.

Through TLW,I searched here.and found my own blog,use englihs and chinese.I like here,although i am a new kid in this place.

I think it is a big world,actually the OC is .we come from diffrent country , maybe use english dont very proficient，because my country used languagt isnt english,but,we come to here,early or late.

Wish the place exist forever~

I was talking to my friend tonight about the future of the internet, the multimedia markets and broadcasting. Have you ever considered taking the coup to the worldwide web? OC is a spring board into the future of selective entertainment and Broadcasting to a direct market. Personally I know I would pay to see the future of Tibette in podcast. Perhaps I am speaking out of turn with Season 6 on Showtime, But when will we stop being the slaves for the machine? I know the devil would be in the details with such an undertaking, just know I would love to be the first in line when THAT march begins.

beth needs to carry a child! it's what will show Balance, maturity and satisfaction in the bette n tina relationship. they are both strong, amazing women and beth still needs that final growth! go bette baby go! i'd cry so hard.

(n make jenny n shane hook up n live happily ever after! it totally makes sence)

Posts from various messages boards ANTI-PREGNANCY for BETTE:

A baby to me would be a retread of Season 1 and 2. If they have a baby lets not see the pregnancy until the last episode.

Go to OurChart and say something! Please G-d no. No pregnancy

All we want is Alpha Bette. If I have to watch mopey morning sickness Bette I will vomit. I cannot watch an unsexy JB/Bette like season 3 again. I just cannot sit through it . Can't they think of something else? Dear god IC, Please!! Anything but another baby storyline!

I'm so serious. Everyone, get your asses to OurChart, do what the fuck you have to do. Bette CANNOT BE PREGNANT next season. It will ruin everything. It'll ruin my life. No babies! I am anti baby! Anti pregnancy! Anti anything that would get in the way of Tibette sex. I need JB's arms, abs, back and sexuality in my life. NO SEASON 3 REPEAT!

RIP Bette Porter. RIP The L Word. I'll just stop watching. This is too much! TOO MUCH!

If they do a pregnant Bette storyline, RIP Bette Porter. No more sex scenes. No arms. No back. No abs. They'll probably shave her head too while they're at it.

They're going to ruin Bette. Again. She's going to be preggers, lame, and mopey. No more fierce hotness. RIP. RIP Tibette heat.

I'm really upset right now. This isn't even remotely funny.

If Bette gets preggers..I'll..I'll..I'll do nothing but mourn the days of S1 Bette.

Another TiBette pregnancy would be enough to make me invest in the company that makes Tom's buckets

I can't find the humor in this. I don't think I can go to sleep tonight. I can't live with a season of Bette being pregnant.. Someone start a thread, petition, whatever you crazy kids do over at OurChart. No pregnant Bette. We want to see JB's sexiness. I can't live with another Season 3. I really can't. What the fuck is wrong with IC? How fucking stupid can one person be?

Hey could at least focus first on getting married or something. ANYTHING that still allows for Tibette sex and JB's body parts to be revealed. Then they can talk about adopting or Bette getting pregnant in the finale for us to imagine.

I think they need to achieve some balance in the relationship prior to makin' more babies.

Hey Ilene,
I reckon you should The L word Bloopers on Ourchart. Everyone asks for it - I think I right in saying by "everyone" I'm including at least some of the cast as well? Just an idea anyway....

Kate

something about an Lword petition? lol... goodness.

The following are Minnie's 10 personal guidelines for discussing controversial topics:

1. Address the thoughts/content/issue, not the person.
2. Keep an even-handed tone.
3. Separate facts from opinions.
4. Seek to have an informed opinion.
5. Stay opened minded to good arguments or good points even if I may disagree with the other person.
6. Understand that it may get emotional.
7. Re: no. 6, in cyberspace, count to 25 before posting anything rash.
8. In cyberspace, always remember there is a real person (I assume) behind the screen.

Now, I'm going outside to play because it is too nice of a day to stay inside.

Let me say this before I begin-My comment is a question in search of an answer-meaning I'm not sure what my position is. That said- How much policing or overseeing do we want on OC? When does an opinion go too far and become an attack? We've got two groups (or so it seems) feeling that two posters have been attacked and bullied. Ca. Medicine Woman is asking for some help from the OC editors-I believe the editors at least need to address her concerns. They should say what their going to do, even if their not going to do anything. I also believe that a good ol' knock down dragged out debate can be healthy. I spent hours debating race and racism with Rovermom one Sunday- and I had a helluva good time (she did too, even if she doesn't admit it). I still think she is wrong and I'm sure she still thinks she's right(smile).
Sometimes, as is the case between Ripley and Ca. Medicine Woman, the debate gets funky. As a community many of us validated, supported, backed, Ca. Medicine. Some of us took hits for it-I'm sure the same thing happened with Ripley's defenders.

I don't know where I'm going with this. but words hurt folks, and Ca. Medicine Woman has been hurt by words posted by a community that claims to be tolerant and loving. I don't think OC needs to be policed by someone up high, I think we all need to educate ourselves by opening our hearts to people who "aren't like us". When we do wrong, admit it, when we hurt someone, apologize.
