“I can’t think of a better metaphor for The L Word: Generation Q than Bette and Tina having a grand romantic gesture as new character — a new beloved fan favorite character, Gigi, is hit by a car.”

Come commiserate the end of our problematic fave, talk about the state of queer television at large, cast an L Word prequel set in 90s new York, and learn what We, the hosts of To L and Back, would have happen to all of the characters after the end of this season!

“Why is she being like, ‘Oh, I can’t kiss you. I’m in a relationship.’ Like, no, you’re not. You met an older woman at a party last weekend. Who among us hasn’t? Take it easy.”
