the l word returns


So this is the new promo for the final season of the L word. I am not sure what to make of it. I have such a love/hate relationship which seems to be shared by every other fan I come across. The first season was excellent and then it has been hot and cold since then. If rumors are true about plot lines for the final season, it may well be a dud. So far I have read that transgender Max will be a focus of season 6... eewww no!!! Don't take a boring character and make them central.

This is what I wish they would do for the final season, get rid of characters that are fillers (I am looking at you, Max and Cybil Shepherd) and focus on the core group. Give them real story lines, including Pam Grier's Kit. You have the amazing Pam Grier on your show put her to good use. Secondly flesh these characters out. Bette was so intriguing to me because she had so many dimensions, now she is all about Tina and her love of Tina. Give them real careers and make them care about them. What happen to Bette's passion for the arts we say in season 1 that was so inspiring to me?? Give Jenny back her writing and Kit her music!! Anyway this concludes my rant for today.
