The L Word / Way Back When

Tibette’s fate in the mind of a showrunner

Here’s the thing. It’s been way longer than nine months, and there’s no sign that you’re moving on. But, hey, we’re glad you’re still here – and we love that you have hope. We’re still here, too. And we’re just as curious as you are to see how this story plays out.

The L Word / Way Back When

Prison Scene!

We wrote it. We shot it. We loved it. But the network didn’t. It was the rare instance in which we had a creative disagreement. Our executives simply felt that it was too soon for us to be spoofing ourselves.

How low can you go

I won’t beat around the bush here: it was the most painful episode of The L Word (OG and Gen Q) I ever had to watch. Deliberate choice of the words “had to”, as I really felt I should write about it, even though after seeing the very first scene in the ambulance already made me want to turn off my TV. But hey, I’m a tough cookie, so just shouting at my device when events really became too far stretched and ridiculous to even be remotely believable, helped me through.

All about our love…

After all this time, as a small tribute to this iconic couple, a “throwback”:
Those who were there for it will remember the elated excitement the morning these screeners came out just a few hours before the last episode “Last Word” aired (March 8th, 2009), with the song that was originally meant for the last Tibette love scene (All about our love, by Sade).

L for Longevity

We were talking about longevity, a word that keeps coming up when the desired storylines for The L Word are being discussed on social media. Longevity in lesbian relationships specifically, because representation matters, and as yet there are far too few (if any) long lasting lesbian relationships portrayed in TV-shows.
