The L Word caps
Posted on: March 20, 2009 | Filed under: Gallery Updates, The L Word | 4 Comments
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
Posted on: February 09, 2009 | Filed under: Gallery Updates, Interviews, The L Word | 0 Comments
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
Posted on: March 11, 2008 | Filed under: Television News, The L Word | 1 Comment
“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.

“The L Word,” recently nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding drama series, began its fourth season January 7.

‘L Word’ breaks new ground in season four
Posted on: December 29, 2006 | Filed under: Television News, The L Word | 0 Comments
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.

‘The L Word’ returns with humor, substance
Posted on: January 05, 2006 | Filed under: Television News, The L Word | 0 Comments
The lesbians of “The L Word” could serve as role models for their straight counterparts on “Desperate Housewives”: They’ve put a sophomore slump behind them to return more heartfelt and more playful.
Starting its third season Sunday (10 p.m. ET), Showtime’s drama about a circle of gay friends and lovers who move in the trendiest of L.A. circles has upped the emotional ante while restoring the light touch that graced the first season.
“The L Word” can’t match ABC’s series in ratings, still strong despite critics’ reservations about year two. But the action on “The L Word,” including a wrenching journey for tennis pro Dana and — wait for it — Alice’s fling with a vampire, makes Wisteria Lane look sleepy.
