Tina goes back to men
The second season
Shark Bytes
Something that annoyed me was when Tina went back to men. Not because of her changing sides, but the way everyone was reacting to it.
All of them just started being really bitchy to her. Freezing her out. Then act as if she commited some big betrayel. Hello? Alice is bisexual, she's had a few boyfriends in the series and mentions hot guys and no-one ever got on her back about it. It just didn't make sense and it made all the characters look really two faced.

So many things to say about this show so little time. Okay for starters I LOVE THIS SHOW! So far so good right? Wrong! The show started off on a very good foot, it opened your eyes to the very interesting yet complicated lives of the lesbians/bisexuals/transgenders around you, yes, their lives are very much the same as us. Break ups. Make ups. and F ups. But the show surely jumped the shark as soon as Dana died and Shane and Jenny let a complete weirdo into their home.
Now the whole TiBette thing really got on my nerves. Wasn't this show called The L Word? Not the Tina and Bette show? Yes they are basically the main characters, i mean they are the very first people you see in the very first episode but that doesn't mean we want to keep seeing them. I hated them together simply because they both acted like complete idiots together. Yeah, yeah, yeah they claimed they both loved each other but i believe nothing seeing that they have been playing that game since the end of season 1.
I will admit that the show got more interesting for me in season 4 when they added the wonderful Miss. Rose Rollins, but i have to say i do miss Papi...I mean where the heck did she go?
And what exactly did they do to Marina? First she was there then she left then she came back then she left again. What is this? A game?
Tim. Yeah...What was his purpose again? (Returning i mean)
I loved Max, I truly do, i just think that the rest of the characters treat him like crap and the writers better start making the characters respect him, it's hard enough for him to be transgendered (though he didn't go through with the surgery) lay off him already.
But i'm done with my rant...Well until season 6....HAHAHAHAHA!

Jenny is the worst character. Everything she says or does contributes to a massive shark jump. She is so obviously the avatar for a producer or writer on the show -- that's why she's persisted despite other, better characters (e.g., DANA!). Jenny is a joke.
The overdone TiBette storyline.
They've proven throughout their break up that they just aren't working. Suddenly it goes from Tina wanting to press charges for Bette stealing Angelica, to jumping back into her arms?
Plus Bette proves she's basically unfaithful by cheating on another serious relationship, though since it's with Tina we're not meant to think that Bette is "once a cheater, always a cheater."
Oh yeah and where's Papi? She just vanished without a trace.

Well, it'll be over soon enough... I will miss the show, but it was past it's prime... I love Jodi's character. I wonder what will replace it...

This show jumped the shark when they got rid of Marina. This show is supposed to be about Lesbians. MY ASS. This show JUST SUCKS PERIOD!!!!!
Striving to be politically correct is one thing. Having to see a woman anxiously watching while her girlfriend sits on the toilet finishing up a pregnancy test is quite another. Yecchh!
Shows definately jumped. Lots of guest stars. Has a constant problem of not knowing if it is a drama or comedy. The lesbian mofia meeting was over the top and Shane's role turned comic with the seducing of the entire female side of a wedding. Its almost like every episode has a new conquest. She is attractive,but she is not Angelina Jolie attractive for me to believe she can seduce anyone in one minute..lol The Jenny character is way over the top also with the hollywood snob thing.
i dont know why dana died. maybe the actresses wanted off the show but it was very lame to get rid of her, she was important as a base character, she held things in place and her romances were exciting, and she had a nice body although her cheryl crow face and joker smile got annoying. jenny started out as my favorite character when she was straight then was seduced my marina but then jenny became a pretentious nightmare. i think somehow alice has become my favorite character. she's kinda funny. but dana dying was really, really not a good choice.
When a lesbian oil wrestling scene is the highlight of the season, then the show has jumped.
The actors, every one of them, gave this season their best shot. The writers, producers, and directors are the ones who jumped this baby. Too bad...
