The L word - Episode 213 - "Lacuna"



Well... That was it, Season 2 came to an end with lesbo-licious birthing extravaganza. Bette and Tina finally had their Marcus Allenwood sperm spawn - A bouncing baby girl named Anjelica. Hooray!
More Episode climax excitement as Carmen and Shane finally "Made Love" and Jenny cut up her legs with razor blades after yet another muff-tastic stripathon and circus montage. She finally admits she needs Help. Hooray!
Meanwhile Alice is crazy jealous and with good reason as Dana flirts shamelessly with Lara at Melvin's Wake... Uh oh....
Unfortunately we got yet another "Betty" overload with a super-monotone guest appearance by Gloria Steinem (who happened to be friends with Bette and Kits Homophobe father...huh?)This resulted in an absolutely lame exchange about lesbians and feminism which made me cringe for our L word Ladies in embarrassment. The only remotely interesting part was the concert featuring The great Canadian singer Kinnie Starr and the 70's Rockers, Heart.

If you thought any of the countless loose ends would be tied up in the season finale, you would be sadly mistaken, and like myself, left feeling a little discombobulated about where the series could possibly be headed in the year ahead. (Just as I had reported earlier, Jennifer Beals who plays Bette, is Pregnant in real life and it makes you wonder whether that will be written into a storyline. She is now without a job after all....)
All I hope for in Season 3 is no more Betty, less under developed "special guests" and the obvious product placement overload..... There was far too much cheese in these episodes.

So, Anyhoo, - if you also agree season 2 was less than stellar, You must read this straight-shootin' "Open Letter to Ilene Chaiken" from Hothouse... or better yet, a perfect idea for season 3 from Claudia @ Get The F Out........

Nevertheless, despite the pain, I am addicted and will forever remain a diehard til the bitter end.... a mere 9 months til season 3 premieres.
