Just a thought on the casting, how come all these women look like Hollywood models?

Maybe it is the same old casting reason, most shows cast the beautiful people because they think that will make people watch. Stupid reason. The world isn't perfect. Why should all the people look perfect on television?

Although I continued to watch The L Word religiously every Sunday Night at 10, I was bored with the story line of Jenny, Mark and even Kit (ironically- the "straight" characters!) Prior to the next new show, I watched the show again on Showtime On Demand where I skipped through the boring parts. It was much better that way! I've learned a lot. Give me lesbian fantasy instead of lesbian "reality." In season one- I loved the Marena and Jenny scenes and this year, I couldn't wait for Shane and Carmen. Does anyone feel the same?

I watched it every week too, and I even tried defending it to my brother who also watched it. After seeing the finale though, the season and how it ended was quite weak.

I also was waiting to see Shane and Carmen hook up. I think in the process they screwed over Jenny with the little cutesy Jenny/Carmen they threw in. When it comes to Jenny, it really seemed to me she was doing better emotionally this season, and then BOOM she went crazy, and that really bothered me.

Gina-

I prefer Season three to be more exciting like- hmmm "Fantasy Island"... always showing off a little "tattoo"! Especially the one on Carmen's lower back!

-Me :)

I NEED to know...does TINA DIE in the end when giving birth to the baby?Please please let me know..//Jennie from Sweden...

Doesn't appear so. Bette tells the rest of the girls Tina was fine. There will probably be complications though. Small cliffhanger.

When does The L Word Season 2 come out on dvd? When does Season 3 start and do you know when it comes out on dvd also?

I just received word that the Season 2 will be released on October 25th of this year. As for season 3, that looks to be set to premiere sometime in early 2006. Filming of the season starts next month.

The L Word is positively the worst show ever!!The writing is dreadful, and the storylines range from stupid to offensive! It seems to appeal mainly to bored housewives, bi-curious teen girls, and pathetic males.

Hey, I'm from Scotland and we're not as far on as you guys (altho like a very sad fan ive read all the transcripts). As a budding scriptwriter I have to agree that this season the script didn't seem as tight as in the first season, altho there are a few classic comedy moments (namely Shane doing Arianna Huffington... her hair obviously). I hate the way Jenny and Carmen are paired up, simply because it seems very obvious early on that Carmen still digs Shane (what lesbian on this show doesnt?). It seems kind of forced, especially with Carmen's comments that Jenny seems "weird". I frickin HATE Helena Peabody. My god, what a way to typecast. And what an awful accent. I thought this show would break out of stereotypes, being a 'controversial drama' and all, but typically the English character (ie "British") sounds ridiculously upper-class. This was another relationship which seemed really forced for a while, but if you look at Bette's relationship with Tina, its pretty reasonable to assume that Tina finds it hard to assert herself and lets Helena essentially dominate her. I loved the Alice and Dana storyline but there was so much wrong with the Tanya/Dana breakup, I'm not even sure where to begin! There seemed to be little emotion at all, and at the end of the episode, in the car, you'd think they'd be happy instead of sitting stunned. Altho the sex scene was fantastic! I challenge you to find someone who watched it and didnt say/think "Oh my god! That's so true!" Too often sex scenes are shown as smooth transitions between clothed/not-clothed and come on, that just doesnt happen! Jeans get stuck, people fall over and generally arent perfect. I loved it ;) I miss the presence of Ivan, and as far as i've read, he seems to have been basically written out, simply over the Kit-seeing-his-fake-penis fiasco, which is a shame. Mostly this season hasnt seemed to be as together as last season. I almost felt like they were running out of ideas/steam. And i'm not enjoying the little start-ups scenes either, they were a cute idea for season one but now its old. The scriptwriters need to change tack and realise that they need to continually be fresh and original. If anyone wants to discuss anything or challenge what ive written, please do. I want to hear what you guys think about this season.

okay to the bitch that said the lword sux and is poor grammer and only appears to stupid people. obviously your one of these people since you took time out to write about it, and its the most exposive show since well ever and dont come on here and dog shit, go on somewher with yo self. and every women is beatiful on the lword but really some are not yes they are pretty but they are all diffrent and appeal to many diffrent people their is on lword girl for every one.. i love the show and i would die defending it lol so NICOLE step of bitch!!!

-Sounds to me like you are the PATHETIC one, or sad you're not apart of it, or jealous! It is a GREAT show, with real life drama AND drama none of us have ever experienced and probably never will (this is NOT a reality show sweetheart) the actress' in this are spectacular and do a great job!!! I congradulate them.
Maybe you should put yourself in the show a little bit and actually pay close attention to an episode WITH OUT judging it while you watch it, you MIGHT actually enjoy it!
thank you,
*Heather (NY)... ps: are you straight??

oh and to comment on your statement, "It seems to appeal mainly to bored housewives, bi-curious teen girls, and pathetic males." then how come, hmm, less than 5% of the people writing on here NOT in any of those 3 catagories you mentioned. I myself, am not a teen, not a male, definitely not bi-curious [LOL], and absolutely not bored, nor a house-wife. I am an adult (20's) LESBIAN (woo-hoo, lesbians ROCK!!) who absolutely LOVES "the L word"
-again, Thank You

I have to say that The L Word is one of the best shows I have seen in a very long time. The characters and storylines are universal and everyone can identify and relate to them. I for one can see myself in several of the characters and through the show I have discovered many things about myself. It's a viewing experience that not only takes over your eyes but also your soul. I love this show and I can't wait for season 3!!

hey renee.i saw your comment and i also am so very much looking forward to season three and i am desperately looking for a way to download the spoilers."the l word" ROCKS. it's just great to have a show us lesbians can relate to.i'm in heaven when i look at the l word.love bette,it's a shame that she isn't really a lesbian.if anyone knows how to download spoilers from season 3 please fill us in

can't say it is my fave show of all times i actually liked QAF better (for artistic reasons and club music) but at least the L word is true to form and reps the female weho crowd pretty darn good (yea robin and sandy sachs)
and the industry types and those that service. and yes baby the women DO look like that. maybe not in Indiana or from wherever you are typing from but this what it is like and there is another type of woman down in Sobe too if they were to write and shoot an offshoot of the L word there,heck Manhattan for that matter.It wouldn't be interesting if it were written in the bible belt,the midwest or Provo.My only pet peeve about the show is the camera work or a better DP. mind you not all the time, but when it is obvious that more than one scene burns out,you have some issues.This is not a graduate film and or television project,it is for the masses. so use what you were taught ,hire the BEST line producer your money can afford or UPM and they better hire the best people to be your crew. yes i know a good script comes first, the the talent follows, but geez people.
(just one of them industry girls)

i just love the show cant wait for season 3 to start, in november i will be meeting laurel holloman who plays tina i london

if anyone has a picture of carmens tattoo please show it to me

Jesus Christ...what the heck!!Finally a Lesbian show appears and we HAVE UNHAPPY NUTHEADS. IT IS TO EARLY TO COMPLAIN!!LET IT BE!!

I enjoyed watching the L WORD. When i first wathced the movie, again i fell in-love with my partner. Though i really love her, but it make me love her more.

dude, i am a lesbian who watches the L word via dvd andwho lives in southern california! i think the L word is dead on an some subjects...i have slept with my friends and most of my freinds have dated an ex...true life, perhaps not, entertaining and reality based, definitely!

I believe that the show is excellent. I think that it addresses much more than being a lesbian, which is why I hope that those who are not don't just fast forward to the sex scenes. A friend said to me "I think the L stands for whatever you're afraid to talk about out Loud"...and these are the things I see exposed - yes, even in season two. Depression, insecurity, monogamy & infidelity, friendship, trust, family, death, choices...all the things we live with, bare.
Yes, I see flaws in the show. But I guess they seem as imperfect as we are.

I really LOVE this series!!I'm keen on.Unhappyly I wait for the second season in france.

All i can say is... thank god and its about time we finally got a little air-time for ourselves!

To message #25 - they wrote: "I enjoyed watching the L WORD. When i first wathced the movie, again i fell in-love with my partner. Though i really love her, but it make me love her more".

I totally loved that! How true is it, that The L Word actually makes us feel more comfortable and proud of who we are. I don't think lesbians could ask for anything more... it gets a 10/10 from me.

yeah where can you find carmens tattoos? i am looking for the ones on her hips

i just watch it for the sex really, lesbians are a big turn on for me.

I think L word is one of the greatest and hottest shows around today. It's just a shame how us people in the UK never get any feedback about exact dates or any information for that matter... Bit of a shock about dana and alice but i hope we get to see some dana lara sex scenes!

Hey girls! Love the show!!! Had to buy the DVD though, to get the original, and not the German translation (which really sucks, by the way!). Does anyone know the release date of Season 3 on DVD?
Enjoy Life!

Come and visit The L Word Page by Miracel Kowsky!

Anyone know when season 3 is being released on dvd in the U.K. because i've seen season 1 and 2 on dvd and now can not WAIT to see the third season. LOVING IT - BEST SHOW AROUND - PORTRAYS EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN LESBIAN LIFE - BRILLIANT!!!!!!
