    Gotta love the internet

    I won't be getting it in Canada either, but pretty much right after it's done airing in the States it gets put on the net pretty quickly, so I'll just be an hour behind. Might even stick around here and follow what's going on, can't be that many more random twist right? xD

    Tech Savvy Lesbians!!!

    The second one is debatable i think... in the description it says Live Chat with the creators of the fan site...

     

    We need to appeal to any tech savvy lesbians....or just lesbians who own a web cam...or camera... to stream it!!!

    Hmmm....

    I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at my reaction to the whole final show... I actually thought it was fairly well done and although it didn't necessarily wrap up the story lines in the manner I would have liked (when did it ever?), it did end well enough to satisfy this 6 season long viewer! Okay... no hating on me for this comment. I too am not a big IC supporter, however if you've watched this show over it's entire run, were you actually expecting something different for the series finale? In typical IC form she left us hanging and aggravated, but I can honestly say that from worse episodes we've endured from IC over the years, this one wasn't all that bad!

    I'd like to thank the wonderful cast and crew of The L Word for giving us 6 seasons of many emotion filled Sundays (whether good, bad or ugly)!  I may certainly not have agreed with many of IC's choices over the years and was often left frustrated, but I can honestly say that I too felt like I've had 6 years with good friends and 6 years of TV we haven't really gotten the chance to see, so no matter anyone's feelings I know that I will miss my time with the ladies of The L Word.

    I wish all of the cast (past and present) all the best in their future endeavors and know that we haven't seen the last of them.  I look forward to the possibility down the road of a movie reunion and catching up with my "friends" and seeing what's become of them.

    Thanks to the wonderful medium of DVD's I know that I can always revisit my "friends" any time I feel a bit nostalgic!

    It's been the "best of times and the worst of times" but it's always been an interesting ride (and sometimes frustrating and aggravating), but definitely one hell of a ride these last 6 years.

    Thanks for the memories!

    I couldn't agree more...

    I think it was the best episode of the season by far. Imagine if this was the first episode for S6 and the show went back and forth from tonight. Would've been amazing. It would take weeks for us to know if Bette was telling the truth! Oh well. As it goes, so it goes. I think we all agree we'll miss the show we often hate but always love. Goodnight.

    LiveBlog was priceless

    Since I couldn't watch the show I spent time following the live blog. Many of the comments had me laughing out loud. Especially the suggestions about who/what was stashed in Jenny's attic.

    Thanks to Sarah, Lori, Ms. Snarker, Stuntdouble, Grace Chu, Linster, and the rest of the AE crew, I suspect that I enjoyed the LWord finale more than those of you actually watching the show. Merci a tout le gang!

    smh I still can't believe it...

    Ok so maybe I shouldn't be this frustrated over a tv show but it isn't just that. It was a little bit more esp to someone like me where there are no gay communities here. I really love this show. But that ending.....*takes a deep breath* Yes I know that you can't tie up all those lose ends in an hr and yes I know that they try to depict real life by not giving us a happy ending. But  sh*t on all that! We were told it would be a 2hr finale. Yes "this is hollywood", then for the love of all who are gay GIVE US OUR FAIRYTALE ENDING! Dammit you want real life, step out of your f*cking house. Why do you think we sit down infront of that box with the moving pics in the first place? For entertainment DUH!. So IC is really smart. She left us wanting more. Well there better be a movie coming out smh maybe she isn't because the next project she does might not get as much viewers which she needs, this might be her wake up call and maybe just maybe (miracles have happened) she will learn from her mistakes.

    L'over & Out!

    That.Was.HiLarious!! Wish id been able to watch it with you guys...LOL...

    In Aus, so haven't watched it yet, but judging by the commentary im going to take a leaf out of Ms Snarker's book, and play the EXTREME CLOSE-UP drinking game...lol...i have a special G&L Mardi Gras pride bottle of Absolut Vodka that will be perfect! By the end, im sure i'll be crying...let's hope some of it has to do with the fact that thus ends a big ol' lesbian era!!

    Cheers! :D

    baffled

    alice goes to jail for jenny's murder?????? really??????? that is the least believable scenario possible.  i am so angry i really dont think i will be partaking in the farm's antics. i feel like ive been played.  this whole season feels like a joke which is so disappointing because i was hopeful even after rose knocked the ending on tjo.

    idk im just speechless..... and heartbroken

    why

    Was the show put to rest because of ratings or they couldn't think of more story lines? I am going to miss the show and "Come With Me if You Want to Live" vlogs.

    Dee & Jenn ya off the hook.. When ya going to visit NYC???

    we all killed jenny

    SOMEONE wrote on the live blog....we all killed jenny. ! i was laughing.

    As i watched the show, saw she DID steal the tapes, and remembered she never gave Shane The Note, i was like, i HIRED someone to kill Jenny (the character). Phew. Enough is enough! If only we could create a new and different character and let JENNY fade out with the as the documentary said, characters that just faded away!
