interesting
i guess it's more about the story than the actual representation. but i am so starved of homosexual media that i can't help but relate these portrayals as somewhat realistic. at least i want to. but something holds me back. |

Erm, as an openly gay women and amature Drag King, do I feel that The L Word represent Lesbians? No. But it's not supposed too. Just like other shows don't represent the rest of the world. Its for the entertainment of the viewers. Ilene Chaiken, the lesbian producer of the show, explained that it would be impossible for any show to "Represent" such a large and diverse group of women. She steped away form that and made her main focus dealing with what was true for the women on the show.

The L Word
The second season of the L Word is going to start in less than a month, for all those interested here is a link to view the promo:
http://www.crispysoupchef.com/lwordpromos.html Looks interesting, though judging from the promo I hate to spend another half of the season learning to like Shane's new hair again, seeing as how I did that last season. For those who haven't watched the first season yet (I'm refering to the Canadians here), Showcase is going to feature it soon. At least that it what their ads tell me, so hold on to your seats! PS: I swear to God, before putting up this new thread I could only go up to page 2 on this forum and I assumed there were no other threads on The L Word. Then, just as I posted this on, the forum shows pages 1-5>. Though it may seem like it, I am not an idiot!!! Please feel free to delete this thread if needed. Sorry to be such an inconvenience. |

i happen to luuuuuuurve Shanes new hair, she looks even hotter, especially with the glasses! heh i've been reading some spoilers and it sounds like season 2 is going to be better than season 1. I can't freaking wait till it airs! I wanna what happens between Bette and Tina *sniff* [even tho i already know what happens lol] and everyone else. Just a little spolier: Shane and Jenny move in together I wish they would bring back Marina or Lara tho
I have the season 1 box set, and i cant tell you how many times ive seen the trailer for season 2 or watched each episode. lol ahh such good times bu yeh me can't wait..much anticipation! woot! |

I really wanted to enjoy 'The L Word', especially after hearing everyone rave about how amazing it was. But I gotta say I hated it. In fact, I actually found it difficult to watch at times. I found the characters cliched, predictable and - dare I say it - stereotypical.
Thanks to 'The L Word' my best (male) friend now thinks that all lesbians are obsessed with dildos and sex toys and artificial insemination. Is this what the lesbian community needs as a mainstream representation of their lives? I think not. 'Queer As Folk' was miles better. |

All I ask is this for Season two: -For the love of God, please limit the screen time of Jenny and her poetry, I love Mia Kirshner but enough is enough -More of Shane -More of Dana -More of Tina -More lesbian sex!!! -Less of Tim's ass, though it is lovely it isn't what I tuned in for PS: nataku, please elaborate more on the spoilers... that is of course if nobody else minds. |

The new season starts in 4 days! I'm so excited! I just read the review of it on afterellen.com and it sounds soooo good. I can't wait, me and a bunch of friends are going to this club called Oasis where they are putting on a l word party! Anyway, just thought i'd remind all of us in the states and canada that we only have 4 more days left. Also, thelwordonline.com has some really good pic's of the premeire event in L.A. Jennifer Beals is looking fine as ever!

definitely .. especially with our new PM
I'm glad you got to watch them too. When I was small Jennifer Beals was so pretty .. she was that Flashdance movie .. I have her picture on the postcard.. I kept and carry to school everyday. Then when I saw Bette .. I thought she looks familiar .. then walllaa!! she still that dang hot! *thinking about Shane* ...wooot ... *dead* .. but now my gf wants me to dress up like Shane .. we went shopping and she was one to choose .. and she said .. this one this one .. look like Shane! ... LoL LoL .. |

Is Shane the really dykey one?
Sorry, I couldn't even make it through one episode of 'The L Word'. I thought it was dismal! |
