The pathology of lesbianism on display this season fuels the fire of those who want to pray away the gay. (In fact, every stereotype seems to be on display here, sans lovely butches, le sigh.) Alice had the most disappointing line (thus far!) in Season 6: she deserves a little credit for not cheating, like "every other lesbian would do." Should Alice get a medal? Or, after 6 years, shouldn't we see at least one couple earning a trophy? Too much to ask?
Why not just re-name the series 'The Girls' and be done with it?

Showtime just released the promo for the final season of The L-Word, and it seems that someone might die! And not just of boredom! It's sexy, mysterious, thrilling, and terrifying. "If words could kill, you'd be dead" it teases, here. OMG. Who will die?
Our guess is that this just a set-up from the writers for what will be an internationally acclaimed spin-off book, reminding us, from Tolstoy, that, "Life is like a gladiators' arena for the soul and so we can feel strengthened by those who endure, and feel awe and pity for those who do not."
