Swan Song

The finale wasn't music to anyone's ears, unfortunately.

"L" Is for Lousy - The series finale of The L Word set lesbianism and the art of storytelling back about fifty years. It couldn't have dribbled to a more feeble, unfulfilling letdown ...

James Wolcott, of Vanity Fair
That was a typical review. How sad. No show deserves to die like that. Its the one time they should have called Weho's seemingly only lawyer Joyce Wishnia, and of course they didn't. Bet they could've gotten a group rate, too.

Prolong the death throes: Go here Mondays for clips.

L = Last Items

The last show of TLW is tonight, and yet I'm actually more interested in hearing the details of yesterday's auction of the last items off the set. Isn't that sad (and odd) that after five years of watching this show I'm still not invested in the finale?. Granted I'm a big spoiler ho, so I'm already annoyed that the producer... *unspoiled? don't read the tiny print* ... _{refused to actually wrap up the final storylines!} ... MoronIC, yes?

So, while waiting for the auction results, I did a 'Wordle' by taking a TWoP page, and letting the program form the words into a label-cloud. Naturally B&T are big - popular words are the largest - but this (click image on left) shape was unusual. The smaller ones randomly clustered around Bette, leaving Tina an island? - how odd.

You'd think one of Bette's army of minions programmed it.
(other samples on other topics looked nothing like this)

Lights! - Camera! - Sirens?

- TLW s6 SPOILER WARNING! -
don't read below if you're unspoiled TLW's production team had this 2200 block of Ontario St. (Vancouver, BC) cordoned off for a night shoot. It was described as a 'crime scene', complete with police cars, an ambulance and a fire truck. This was in the first week of October, so it will be part of Season 6's finale! So S6 gets a funeral... but whose?

CuteKitty guessed the victim could be Tasha the cop. Good guess, since Alice's upcoming spin-off will probably require her to be 'available'. But those buildings on that block look like little houses in the overhead photos... so could this be Bette's house next to Jenny's rental?
