You do NOT want a deaf character on TLW! Why be so prejudiced against Marlee Matlin?! The deaf community enjoys seeing a deaf character on the show.

Are Alice and Tasha doomed? yes. Should Shane and Jenny finally give in and become more than just friends? NO. Will Bette and Tina finally reunite? yes/ Have we seen the last of Jodi? most likely And do Dawn Bimbo and Lover Cindi — the Boris and Natasha of this series, God bless ‘em — have one final blowup in store for us? yep.,

here’s hoping we see more of dawn denbo and her lover cindi next season…if for nothing else, but some humor, a$$ slaps and general antaganistic shenanigans. also, because i dont think having EVERYONE, AT ALL TIMES, say her/your/my lover cindi is every going to get old. and i love how it has spread to every cast member. alicia leigh willis…i still love ya!

If season 4 was bad, this is worst. All the Adele psycho thing, double D thing, and gun thing is just “Bananas”. I hope that the last episode, that gun will do something interesting. Like for accident somebody should shoot Shane at her head (not killing her but at least leave her blind) and see who of the 1199 (+/-) women that she had is going to be at her side. I really hope for Carmen’s come back.

I’d guess if you’ve never had your heart broken before, you might be a little desperate to keep that person. Especially if you’ve never allowed yourself to love someone that much. breaking up is never easy….but i’m not sure we’ve seen the last of jodie. maybe she’ll make the finale go out with a little bang!

Jodi’s character in general has changed way too much this season. When she was introduced, she was a true free spirit, someone who didn’t want to settle down and someone who was passionate about her love for art and free speech. This episode made her look desperate. My vision of how Jodi should have reacted involves MUCH more anger (such as the “Why is she talking to me, doesn’t she know I”m deaf?” line–ouch!!) Instead, we got a blubbering mess saying how she was going to fight for this relationship. No way. Jodi would have packed her bags, given that watch to someone who cared, and signed siyonara before begging Bette to come back.

Um Shane and Jenny better not hook up in Season 6…I think that would just piss of viewers to no end and I dont think they will want to end it like that…I was thinking that they may bring Carmen back for the last couple episodes and her and Shane will finally be together…they say they are going take fan feedback and I bet that will be one of the number one things that the fans will want in the end…

Joanna -
agree that writing is at best sometimes spotty. but no reason for the hate! why do you watch if you hate it so?
and just want to point out laura holloman as another great actress on the cast.

This show is beyond awful. It amazes me that it’s still on television. There are so many problems, it’s hard to break it down. But let’s try:
- Dialogue is atrocious and unsophisticated.
- Pam Grier’s character now seems to exist solely for her to carry guns and visit prisons. A waste of Grier.
- Shane and Jenny coupling would make no sense. That scene earlier with Shane and the bridesmaids was beyond ridiculous.
- The Dawn and Cindi thing must be a failed attempt at camp. Otherwise the show runner’s judgment is even more flawed that I thought.
- Plotlines make no sense. Alice was hot for Tasha. Now they’re moving in together and she’s suddenly aloof. Why? And how, exactly, is Tasha making money?
- Any episode written by Elizabeth Zif f is guaranteed to be awful. In general the writing quality varies immensely from episode to episode. (HATE the theme song, too.)
- The woman who plays Max can’t act.
Bright spots: the acting of Jennifer Beals, Mia Kirshner, Leisha Hailey, Kate Moennig.

I was not happy with the latest episode at all and I’ve watched the L word since season 1. This epp was anti-climatic and a tease. (like getting worked up and then showered with cold water!)Tina & Bette belong together but Shane & Jenny?? YUCK CITY!! I was hoping for a lot more from the Adelle fiasco since this was building up over the last few weeks, but again, I was dissapointed. I will be sorry to see the show go after the 8 episode 6 season but I hope they close with a BANG!
