I too hope romi will be back because she is really hot, and scarlett as well.
i might need to re-subcribe to showtime once it starts airing, because of course, watching it online for free is illegal.
And I really wish there WAS a show full of bulldykes on TV for this femme to drool over.īahahaha!!! i can’t believe this show is coming back, but i’m (not so) secretly glad because i totally enjoyed reading the recaps here. Maybe I need to work on myself a little bit. Maybe in actuality I’m usually a peace keeper who tries to see both sides of the story and that comment just hit me in a sensitive part of my gut that elicited a childish two word sentence. So I decided to be brief and instead of addressing the insensitive commenter I decided to let any women feeling personally attacked by her comment know that I didn’t agree with it. It would probably take some hours of talking and working through things to find where we could agree.
I want to hug your comment.Īnd having made a comment that’s been quoted, maybe I should explain why I didn’t elaborate? I really don’t know how to engage in conversation with someone who felt that The Real L Word was “positive representations of lesbians on TV.” I’m not sure where our common ground would be there. Mockery and humour (and yes sentence fragments) are sometimes the exactly appropriate response to wilful stupidity. The show of resistance to such hatefulness on the part of the community was, I think, heartening and delightful and helped take the sting out of an otherwise hurtful bunch of comments. I feel like that isn’t very ‘compassionate’ to them. You are also suggesting that Anon’s right to ‘compassion’ supercedes the right of members whose identity she was disparaging to see a clear, firm indication that they matter and attacks on them won’t be tolerated by this community. In advising compassion and education you are assuming a good intention on the part of Anon that clearly wasn’t there. It was up to Anon to recognise that her initial comment was unacceptable and to address the problems with it, but she chose instead to take the path of further unnecessary attacks. There’s no reason anyone should have to read comments attacking their identity, which is what Anon was making, and it is not our obligation to be nice to or understanding of hatefulness. I imagine it’s obvious from my involvement in the comments you’re talking about, but actually I found that the response of the moderators and other commentors to the ignorance and hatespeak on display made this feel like a much safer space to me. Dinah Shore happens, other things happen OH FOR CHRIST’S SAKE Episode 109 of The Real L Word is THE LAST EPISODE OF THE REAL L WORD. Deal with it OMGFASHIONWEEEK FASHIONWEEK.ĥ. JK THIS EPISODE OF THE REAL L WORD WAS SO WEIRD.Ĥ. This recap is late because I wanted to wait and see if Whitney & Romi’s sex scene would tip the balance in our favor in the Prop 8 Trial. In honour of this blessed news from on high, I’ve compiled a list of my Top Five Favorite Excerpts from Riese’s recaps of The Real L Word Season 1. We predict / are 99% sure that Mikey will not be taking part in Season 2, which is a real shame, as Robin was basically put on Earth to play the role of Raquel via Autostraddle’s Real L Word Parody, the most ‘groundbreaking’ and eerily well-cast parody EVER. There will be nine episodes and a mix of old and new cast members. I’m assuming IFC has taken a long hard look at the problems with Season 1 and how we would’ve fixed them and I, of course, look forward to seeing how she has grown, both as a human and also as a teller of our ‘stories.’ Can’t wait!!
That sound you’re hearing, waaaaaay off in the distance, is Riese banging her head against a wall. We’re looking to tell deeper stories about some of the cast members whom we got to know in season one, and to meet some new women whose lives reflect additional facets of lesbian life and experience.” “I’m thrilled and truly excited by the support from Showtime and their desire to really bust it out in the second season.
Showtime has announced a second season of its ‘groundbreaking’ lesbian reality series The Real L Word! Ilene Chaiken, the only human capable of bringing you such news, had this to say for herself:
