AfterEllen Interview with Mia Kirshner

Who killed Jenny Schecter? A mere five months ago, that was the burning question on lesbian lips in living rooms and local bars from Los Angeles to Little Falls, New Jersey.

Mia Kirshner (Miss Conception, The Black Dahlia, 24) — the astonishing actor who played Jenny, and managed to find the humanity in a character known for uttering, “Adele, the appliqué on the back of your jeans was declared an abomination by the Geneva Convention,” and other psychotic bon mots — is in fact a thoughtful woman who’d rather spend time with her friends than bask in the spotlight of Hollywood.

After a record six years as Showtime’s longest running original series, The L Word finally ended in March, putting our love-to-hate relationship with Jenny Schecter to rest, not to mention relieving us of those annoying alliterations.

What many people don’t know is, all that time, Mia was also focused on humanitarian issues, and in October, 2008, she published her first book, I Live Here, a collection of “visually stunning” narratives told through journals, stories and images, by refugees and displaced people from around the world.

The L Word 6.08 screencaps

I updated the gallery over the weekend with screencaps of the final episode of The L Word. Of the world of suck it contained, it did have a few bright spots:

1. Mia looked absolutely gorgeous. She wore some of the most adorable dresses and skirts and she looked fantastic in every scene, especially in this dress. I want one!

2. The video cameos of Tim, Angus, Ivan and Carmen. It was nice for them to say their little goodbyes to the girls, the fans and the show. I shall attempt to forget that they were all written to be great big a-holes at various points in time and focus on the awesomeness that they contributed during their time on the show.

3. Lucy Lawless!

And that’s pretty much it. I wish I could be more positive or say something else nice about it, but there’s just nothing.

Best of luck to the cast with all of their future endeavors!

The L Word caps

Screencaps of episodes 6.06 and 6.07 are now available in the gallery. I added 6.04 and 6.05 a few weeks ago, but forgot to post about them. I’m sure most of you have seen them by now anyway. ;)

I’ll have caps from episode 6.08 added very soon as well. Aside from having zero time to work on web things lately, it’s really hard to find the motivation to cap this season because it, well, sucks. There’s no nice way of putting it and I’m sure most of you probably feel the same way. I’m just glad it’s over now so all of the talented leading ladies of the show can move on to more quality projects.

The L Word 6.01 – 6.03 screencaps

I decided to give in and watch the final season and capped episodes 6.01 – 6.03 over the weekend. I will most likely not be doing weekly updates with caps because my online time is pretty limited right now, but I will continue to post caps from this season as time allows. That is unless they pull some crap like they did in S4 that just made my blood boil. I will refrain from ranting about that again though. Enjoy the new caps!

“L Word” ending run on Showtime

“The L Word” is set to take its final bow. Showtime has renewed the lesbian drama for a sixth and final season, which will make it one of the premium network’s longest-running series.

Eight episodes have been ordered, targeted to go into production in early summer for an early 2009 premiere.

While past seasons generally have consisted of 12-13 episodes each, Showtime executives and series creator/executive producer Ilene Chaiken believed that eight additional episodes were creatively what was needed to wrap up the story lines.

“The L Word” follows a group of Los Angeles-based friends as they navigate careers, families, friendships, personal struggles and romantic relationships. The series became the first lesbian primetime drama on television when it debuted in January 2004. Its stars include Jennifer Beals and Mia Kirshner.

Chaiken, who created the series with Kathy Greenberg and Michele Abbott, said the show will live on, interactively.

“This is by no means the end of ‘The L Word,’” she said. “The brand and the social network community, OurChart.com, will continue to live and be a destination for lesbians everywhere and a lasting tribute to what ‘The L Word’ has accomplished.”

She added that fan input will play a part in wrapping up the series’ story lines, noting the role that viewer input has played in the past.

“The L Word,” which received a GLAAD Award for best drama series, also has a big following in virtual world Second Life and has spawned such branded products as perfume, jewelry and books. The Season 5 finale is set to air March 23.

Showtime Loves The L Word for Season 5

Showtime’s lesbian drama “The L Word” will be back for a fifth season. The cable network has ordered 12 new episodes of the series, which centers on a group of lesbians in Los Angeles. Production will begin in the summer for an early 2008 debut. Deals are in place with the principal actors.

“The L Word,” recently nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding drama series, began its fourth season January 7. Season-to-date, the show is averaging 310,000 viewers per first-run episode (down from Season 3′s 370,000), though the network gives every episode multiple plays throughout the week and offers them on-demand.

‘L Word’ breaks new ground in season four

The ladies of “The L Word” are back with their most ambitious season to date.

After a prolonged two-year sophomore slump, the fourth season has managed to jumpstart itself.

Taking on issues including the Iraq War, biphobia, late-bloomers, heterosexual privilege, transgender identity, Deaf culture, and class and race relations, the series runs the risk of addressing too much at once. But the story arcs progress comfortably over the first six episodes, careful not to overwhelm fans with too much politicking.

This is a deliberate move by the writers.
