    L Word Season 5 Premiere Fizzled Quite Badly
    01.01.08 (11:01 pm) posted by Genia vote for me on digg and reddit

    I just finished watching the season premiere of The L Word (season 5). OurChart.com (which appears to be a Showtime blog) is airing The L Word's season premiere a full week before the new season begins. Good for them! I'm guessing OurChart has snagged a lot of The L Word related traffic that once went to AfterEllen.com.

    Anyway, I was a bit disappointed with L Word 5's season premiere. I didn't watch a single episode of L Word 4 and watching this season's premiere didn't really make me feel like I missed much.

    The things I liked about L Word 5 so far:

    1. There's a seemingly happy and functional interracial lesbian relationship (Alice and Tasha)

    2. Tina is no longer with men. Maybe that actually ended early in L Word 4? I guess that whole post-partum depression thing is over.

    3. Kit is no longer with Magnus Angus (whatever his name was!). Hopefully this means we won't have to see a lot of heterosexual sex this season.

    4. Jenny is still crazy. What would L Word be without a crazy lesbian or two?

    5. Helena is in jail. No, that's not the good part. Her cellmate is the good part. SHE'S HOT! I think the person playing that part is the psycho boxer from Million Dollar Baby, Lucia Rijker. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    The things I didn't like about L Word 5:

    1. That hideous, hideous, hideous theme song is still alive and well.

    2. Tina's on the prowl and seems very interested in getting Bette back. Personally, I wouldn't want her back.

    3. Bette's relationship with Jodi is very, very, boring. Even the sex scene between those two seriously lacked steam.

    4. Looks like Tasha is headed for some trouble with the military. She was supposed to be leaving for Iraq, but the final scene shows her appearing at Alice's door.

    5. The my-baby-is-more-diverse-t han-your-baby bullshit about halfway through the episode. Bette and Tina run into a gay male couple after interviewing at a prestigious pre-school they'd like little Angie (their baby) to attend. The gay male couple brags about how racially and ethnically diverse their baby is, while Bette counters with something like, "Well our baby is biracial and has lesbian parents, blah, blah, blah." WTF? I guess if the writers are trying to show that gay parents can be just as competitive with their kids as straight parents, they've done a damn good job.

    As a final note: the season premiere was quite boring. Other than the fire Shane's ex started, the show looks like it'll be lukewarm at best. If that's any indication of what the entire season will look like, I think I'll save my money and not renew my subscription to Showtime. But hey, don't take my word for it. View the season premiere yourself -- for free!
