The L Word Series Finale Fiasco

This is a sequel to yesterday's blog on series finales. It seems that I am not the only fan of the L Word that hated this past Sunday's season finale. On Showtime.com, the message board for fans of this show was loaded with comments complaining about how lame and unresolved this finale was.

I decided to watch the first webisode which is entitled Interrogation tapes. Tina was the first as she is questioned by the police in regards to Jenny's death. Basically we get stuff like, she would be more threaten by Bette sending a love poem to someone as opposed to sleeping with her. And we find out that Bette was not Tina's first lesbian lover, she had a sexual relationship with her older sister who is now born again and thinks Tina is going to hell.

To those who just read this preceding, you must be wondering what the F? Why are the police interested in this, wouldn't they be more interested in the fact that Shane showed Tina that the missing Les Girls film was hidden in Jenny and Shane's attic, the film that Tina was framed for stealing and lost her job over??? Who cares other than a therapist that Tina was in an incestuous relationship with her sister? I swear, that so called interrogation went more like a therapy session. These cops are never going to solve this murder.

Leisha Hailey who plays Alice is supposed to be cast in a spin off entitled The Farm where she is in prison. The Internet talk is that she goes to jail for Jenny's murder. She was the only one in the series finale who wanted to forgive Jenny for stealing her idea for a movie script. So, she gets to take the rap. Really bad idea.

Six Feet Under had a great series finale, where we learn the fate of all the characters and we get closure. Sex and the City ended with Carrie and Big back together and the movie gave us the wedding we always wanted. That is how you end a series.

I will continue to watch the webisodes on Showtime.com and let you know if we ever get any real information or closure.
