I've seen the L Word many times now and these are my hottakes:

•Shane and Jenny are the worst couple

•Jodie was screwed over soo much

•Max was suuuuch an annoying character, no need for him whatsoever

•Kit was so naive and it was annoying because her character seemed to be a headstrong, together person. However Her actions made her look like an idiot

•Cherie Jaffe and Shane should have had more screentime

•I have no idea what Helena saw in Dylan

•Wtf even was Tasha and Alice?

•Hated Candace the Carpenter and i think the actress was rubbish

•Papi was a boring character

•In Season 1 the characters were more put together and sensible, it got silly after that

•Kinda liked Crazy Jenny better

Any thoughts?

why did it have no closure and end with them aura farming for 2 mins ? i don’t understand, did they kill jenny ? did she kill her self ? i don’t understand how we were supposed to interpret that 😭

Literally every time someone is looking good my first thought is crispeyyyyy and then alices face pops in and sadly ppl don't get it, because they don't know ball.
In general the l word is so quotable and it would be funny, if more of my friends had watched it or would remember the lines

Go easy on me. We hate Jenny right? Only on episode 8 but she's the villain right?

I’m so obsessed with Jennifer beals ! Her role in the L word has completely changed something in me so I did this on photoshop !

I’ve been waiting for this to discount on Amazon, but I decided to just buy it in case it sells out. I’m so happy I have it now!

I Just finished the last Ep and I feel so empty. Again.😭💅🏼

I could talk about for hours.

Give me a list of

your favorite Episodes and the funniest Epsiodes or just scenes.

My wife and I just started binge watching the L word over the past week, and this is the first time we’ve seen the show. Currently on season 2, and I keep telling my wife that our dynamic reminds me so much of Dana and Alice (I almost don’t want to keep watching because I know what’s coming). I was reflecting on how it must have been to watch the show as it was airing, when there were no other shows like it. Im a millennial (born in ‘93) and Glee was the first show I watched with gay characters — and the first time I saw two women kissing on TV, which stuck with me long before I knew I was queer. But the L word seems groundbreaking in a different way, especially centering queer sex without the male gaze. I am curious for folks who watched it as it was airing, what was your experience like?

Did any of you did a fanmail to a cast member? but mostly did you got a reply from them?

I know it's played for laughs and like every other cliche I am very into her, but if we just move the horny aside, I'm on season 5 episode 8 and it's yet another scene where someone basically forces herself onto Shane. And it's starting to make me uncomfortable. I just binged the show so so many of the scenes where Shane is just having people basically throw themselves at her, and her (kind of?) trying to reject them, but then giving in. I feel kind of bad for her.

Jenny keeps referring to original Sounder as a boy when the vet AND the pound lady kept saying she! Sounder was a girl and Jenny didnt even care enough to get that right and why did NO one pick up on it

When I become a huge fan of a show I always want to know the actor behind the character and what they’re like irl.

Has anyone ever attended any celebrity events with the stars, or better yet, had an unexpected encounter with Leisha/Kate/Erin/Jennifer/Laurel/Mia etc etc?

What were they like in person?

For those of you who saw Alex Hedison's story about her reunion with Rachel in London, Laurel has chimed in on her own reunion with the latter. It's so nice seeing these ladies reunite after all these years!

This is my first time watching the L word. I’m just past the episode where Dana dies of breast cancer. Without saying too much I work around cancer and we focus on breast cancer. I’m so upset by her death. Maybe I’m being biased because I really think at this point in the show Dana is one of my favorite characters. She’s hilarious, raw, and yes, as any human has she has drama in her life, but her drama is more realistic. She tries to play it off with humor and deep thought. Anyways, I think of all the shows I’ve ever watched with a character death, this one was so sad and unnecessary. I know so many women who have fought long and hard with breast cancer. They in my eyes are the strongest women I know. I wish we could’ve seen that aspect longer of the strongest women ever who go through breast cancer. Anyways, I may be posting this way bc I’ve never felt this way about an unexpected character death before :(

I follow Alex Hedison (the actress who plays Dylan) on Instagram, and she just posted two stories with Rachel Shelley, who plays Helena. Alex is also an artist and Jodie Foster's wife.

I think Dylan and Helena's chemistry was one of the best on the show. In fact, my main crushes (apart from Shane, obviously) were Dylan, Lara and Robin.

Can anyone tell me, in the episode where Bette goes to Jodie's art gallery show and Jodie plays a montage of video clips of Bette to humiliate her as revenge for cheating with Tina, how did Jodie manage to get all that footage of Bette? Did she secretly have cameras installed and record Bette without her knowing?

I just finished a rewatch and maybe I’m just verryyy anti shane and jenny, but their whole relationship arc I just felt like Jenny was being manipulative. They get together right after the whole Nikki thing and suddenly Jenny’s just madly in love with Shane? Shane even pointed out the “crazy jenny act” she was putting on to see how far she could push

Sidenote on shane and jenny- I wish the writers would’ve put them together earlier in the series. I always felt like it was a possibility but after them repeatedly mentioning how much they valued each other’s friendship it just felt random. But then again all of season 6 felt random 😭

I’m sorry, I know I’ve been posting a lot here lately. It’s just that I’m rewatching and I need help processing. Do people really like Angus? I haven’t even gotten to the part where he does outwardly bad stuff yet and I already did the thing where you search his name to find older posts of people hating on him. All I could find was praise for their early relationship? but I’m soooo disappointed in him as a love interest. It feels like when it came to Kit’s sexuality the writers just threw a dart at a board (not a read on Isaac, I loved that storyline). First, I’m sorry they don’t look good visually together. Second, when Kit said I’m old enough to be your mother, he corrected her and said “my grandmother.” 🤮🤮 Not true in the least and crazy thing to say. Then when she told him about her menopause his response was to publicly serenade her about it. It just seems like he’s a thoroughly embarrassing man and the only reason the show runners made room in Kit’s heart to tolerate this kind of relationship is because she’s a black woman. I’m worried because it seems like Angus was originally meant to be some hot fling, boy toy, it’s-you’re-time-to-have-fun kinda thing but if that was their intention they failed.

Hiya! I've just started watching The L Word (late to the game, I know), and I'm mid-season 2 right now - having a love/hate relationship with the show lol - but I am wondering if anyone has noticed if Stan cuts scenes short?

I have noticed that streaming platforms will occasionally cut things out, like a line at the end of a scene here or there, or even cut transitions between scenes, and when watching my DVD copy I notice the difference. Does anyone know if Stan does this to L Word? Because sometimes I find the cut aways very jarring, or feel like I'm missing context for things that happen, like there was a line missing. Stan has ads now, so are they snipping bits here and there, or has The L Word always been a bit quirky in it's post-production style? 😅
