lemme holla atcha for a hot second

the l word is in its last season, which i guess means it's time to forget about characters, plots and integrity. seems like ilene scrolled l word chat sites, gathered that most people hate jenny, and decided the most creative way to say au revoir was to drown her in a pool. but that's old news; what really bothers me is that the characters feel different this season. shane's edgy and headstrong personality goes limp to jenny's secret love(we get that you messed up, but i don't think dating her was really in the stars). and then there's this:



shane and tasha throw down their levis 501's and christian dior homme for that little black dress every girl dreams of. why couldn't tasha have worn that dashing suit from season 6 ep 2? i bet the police academy didn't nearly appreciate it as i would have. and high heals!?!? the l word has always been lackluster at portraying any lesbian outside of the male fantasy stereotype, and at the end they take their two characters who hang two notches to the right of the femme spectrum and turn them into showtime's barbie dykes. not to mention, on one of the season four l word dvds max is wearing high heals. just like in the first episode of season six when tina and the cast get upset that marketing has changed the movie's ending to appeal to men, so have certain characters' appearances been altered to bring a rockettes consistency to the cast.
