“i really hope you bleed sometime soon”

Since I heard the news that the next season will be the final season of the L word last week, I noticed that I watched the show with much more attention and appreciation last night. Kind of like a friend that you know whose time is limited, I really listened this time. I thoroughly enjoyed Pam Grier’s scene when she grabbed a gun and sped off in her sweet pale pistachio Cadillac. I laughed a bit too zealously when Shane and Jenny took hits from a bong made of an empty 2- liter soda bottle.

I muttered swear words at Adele, who sabotaged Jenny and her film. I secretly cheered Alice on when she served the ladies on the View-like show she guest-starred on.

However, my support and warm feelings stopped cold in one of the moments at the end. The gun situation. SPOILER after jump.

Things turned way too after-school-special when Kit found her baby niece playing with her revolver. Her response was automatic. She tossed the gun in a dumpster outside her work, baby in hand.

SHE TOSSED HER OWN GUN IN A DUMPSTER immediately outside of her own store. Not the best idea.

So, if you have an option between putting your gun

a.: near a baby,

b.: in a dumpster outside of your establishment,

or

c.: in locked safe that you retrieved it from…

Do what Pam Grier would do. Not Kit.

Besides that, I love the L word, in its shiny bubble of pink-hued drama. And I’m here til the end.
