• They should have killed Jenny at the end of season 1

  She's the most annoying caracter ever written, the show would have been much better with out all her winning and self centered drama, i was SO happy to see her dead at the beginning of season 6 but she just ruined it for me all along, she even ruined Shane witch was my fav caracter ! Feels good to say it :D

  The L Word was a groundbreaking, unique and interesting show, that anybody not matter his or her sexual orientation could relate to. hide « show »

  The L Word was a groundbreaking, unique and interesting show. It broke down the barriers of television and changed society. The L Word offered an outlet into world where I didn't have to hide who I actually was. It offered a world with characters I, and almost anyone, straight or gay could relate to. The L Word let me be myself, when in the real world I couldn't and still can't. The L Word was funny, drama-filled, and you can't forget the amazing sex scenes. Each character had their own problems, but each one still stayed close to their friends. Bette and Tina are, in my opinion, one of the best relationships on the show. Though both Bette and Tina have their conflicts with each other and with themselves, they do truly love one another. Alice is definitely the funniest character in the show, though she still has her own conflicts and does struggle with love. Shane is a very complex character. She cannot commit to relationships, even though she may love the person. She puts herself through torture, even though she does not deserve it. Helena, in the beginning of the show is selfish and manipulating. However by the third season she begins to soften up and becomes a real friend. Throughout the show, Helena struggles with trust issues, but after living without any money, she learns how to take care of herself and be independent. Jenny is one of the most interesting characters. She is one of those people that you either love or hate, and your feelings can change instantly. At first, Jenny is an innocent girl living with her boyfriend, but as the show goes one Jenny changes drastically. By the end of the fourth season, Jenny is arrogant and manipulative. Jenny for some reason tends to ruin relationships, though I don't think she always means to. All of the characters bring something different to the story and I think everyone can relate to at least one of the characters. After six seasons, The L Word ended, and a jam-packed six seasons they were. The L Word ended with a controversial bang, in season six. Despite the many opinions on the ending, The L Word ended the similarly to the way it started. The show started with Jenny's "birth" and ended with her death. We are never supposed to know who killed her. It will remain a mystery forever. Anybody can watch The L Word, no matter his or her sexual orientation. The L Word was about people with flaws trying to find love, and I think everybody can relate to that.

  I have had mixed feelings about this show since it first began. While it's pleasant to see lesbians on television, it's not always the most flattering portrayal. hide « show »

  I loved this show when it first began. It addressed some interesting issues, and it was groundbreaking to have a show revolving around the lives and loves of lesbian and bisexual characters. As the show progressed, I became more and more fed up with the way the characters were handled. Besides the ever-annoying Jenny, the characters I had loved from the start started to degrade into generally bad people. EVERYONE cheats on everyone. In the season 6 opener, Alice even admits that this is the standard lesbian thing to do. This is the message we want to be sending? Angus, the one positive male figure on the show, was turned into a cheating bastard. And when Tina is involved with a man, what happens? None of the lesbians want to talk to her because she's somehow betraying her kind. So much for being allowed to love whoever, regardless of gender. The show essentially shows the message that it's ok to cheat, bisexuals aren't good enough to be friends with lesbians, men are evil, and everything boils down to sex. That's not the message that should be sent in the one lesbian drama on television. That said, I suppose it's still entertaining television.

  Oh Wow, Great Show; for many reasons: hide « show »

  When I first watched this show I have to admit I figured lesbians everywhere how can I go wrong, but then something happened. As I was watching the show "Jenny" played by Mia absolutely blew me away, her inner conflict with love for 2 people was exactly how most of us feel when that unfortunate instance occurs. So after the very first episode I was like wow, what just happened. I felt a connection to Tim because I am a male and have been in his situation, but also I felt a connection to Jenny as I have also been in her situation. Needless to say 5 seasons later I still watch the show and I am still amazed by how the show is about love and how it transcends through everything. It doesn't matter if you are a woman and love another woman, its not gay it's LOVE. I wish more people could see and understand this. The solution is; watch the show.

  I'm left feeling unsatisfied hide « show »

  This season and especially this episode have been nonsensical.Too many loose ends,too many out of character moments and if i had to see one more person get so obviously mad at jenny or say they were gonna kill her,i was going to throw my remote at the tv.Just a mess and not a great way to end such a decent show.It was nice to see some of the older characters popping up in the video messages though.But like i said before,not a nice clean way to end a series.Possibly its been done like this because of the spin-off? Another way to make sure people tune in i guess

  Jenny's character is completely out of line. hide « show »

  I have been watching this show from the beginning and Jenny has always been my favorite character because she was the new girl and a writer when it started, and I can totally relate to that. But now she has become such a hateful and impossible character. I understand that every group of tv friends needs the "village idiot" or "evil witch" to set a balance, but it's just crazy how she has grown into this egotistical and vindictive person. It started around season 4 but now it's just out of control. I love this show and I'll never stop watching it during reruns or dvd marathons, but I just wish that they could have found a different character to turn into a maniac.
