Oh, I had this fantasy that it was all the art that had been portrayed in the show. That would be cool. We had such great art on the show.
Yeah, that made me mental. Yes, yes. It did happen. Our new one [Marja-Lewis Ryan] gets to take the reins. I always thought Tina killed her. She pushed her off the ledge! Can we talk about the clothes from the original series? They were extremely … of a time. On the rewatch, was there anything that made you feel like, Holy shit?
From the first go-around? Why do you think that is? You have Pose , which you never would have had before The L Word was on. The conversation has definitely broadened. Queer characters are much less likely to be the serial killer or some other nefarious character. Tell me about the initial conversations about the reboot. First we reminisced about the show, and then you figure out there are conversations going on online, referencing The L Word. She was busy on Empire but still completely game.
And then the elections happened and we realized we had to do something. Everything in life, really, is based on a narrative. And it helps us open our imagination not only to what is but what could be. Did you talk about the criticisms that people had about the initial series? Like, for example, the way the show dealt with trans characters. I think the most important thing is that we make sure to have trans actors playing trans characters. You learn from possible mistakes, you try to correct those mistakes, and you realize that the ground is shifting between us and beneath us.
That feels right. How has the show, if it has at all, changed the way you feel about or define your own sexuality? It made it really clear that I am so super-square, so super-straight, and so super-cis. I feel incredibly old-fashioned and so uncool. By far, the most uncool person on set. By a long shot. Like, really. For many of us, it was love at first sight. The first series focused primarily on the stories of lesbian and bisexual women.
The show was far from perfect but fans relished the grains of truth in the glossy, over-the-top fantasy. The sequel plans to make it right. Showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan has brought back three of the original leads Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey and Katherine Moennig , whose lives now intersect with a new generation of characters.
But the current TV landscape is much changed in the 10 years since the original series came to an end in The tides were slowly turning but, prior to the s, TV story lines involving queer women were often relegated to sweeps week stunts — in the form of one-off kisses — and secondary to those of their straight counterparts. I was content just to lurk but I had to log in just so I could give this a thumbs up. I genuinely enjoyed that show. Re: Laurel Holloman, i read a couple articles in which she mentioned being happily married to a man, being a fulfilled mother and painter, and being a proud bisexual.
Also, I think Anne Ramsay Robin is gay. Or maybe she just likes hanging out at Dyke Day LA because why not? That Tammy Lynn Michaels acting career never recovered from her train wreck divorce from Melissa Etheridge is still a sore point. She was Nicole Julian in Popular, she had so much snark. I had no idea about Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor. She dressed as a boy to attend the boys boarding school to see if her mother would notice she enrolled in a boys school.
It was kind of a convoluted reason but she was a she dating a guy. I totally missed that, way to drop the ball AfterEllen. Make yourself at home! This is queer journalism how it should be! Wireless connectivity is playing part in communication approaches for all style of business organizations. While all technologies have operating limits, the truth that these technologies need no wires to work helps it be possible to obtain Internet from practically any location for the planet.
Immediately, a great chemistry started between us, spiced with joy and abandon. This is literally such an illegitimate article for simply one reason….. Obviously the L Word has been out for some time now. Like many shows, it ended up in the Netflix library of shows to binge watch. Which gives it a wider audience and allows previous generations to watch it now. The same goes for many other shows and movies. The literal first sentence of your article, which is about the sexuality of the actresses in real life, is completely unnecessary.
Are you fucking kidding me? BUT nothing. Well, Except a really awful title for the article itself which happens to be grammatically incorrect.
Dana dying is HUGE thing. You've decided to leave a comment. That's fantastic. Please keep in mind that comments are moderated by the guidelines laid out in our comment policy. Let's have a personal and meaningful conversation and thanks for stopping by! Most recent update: July Here are the original L Word veterans who are now publicly gay, lesbian, queer or bisexual: 1. Kelly McGillis marries her partner. Before you go! It takes funding to keep this publication by and for queer women and trans people of all genders running every day.
Still, The issue is perhaps that both characters, like the rest of the new generation, lack specificity. Dani: a striver, torn between her conscience and her desire to please her wealthy dad. Later, watching an awkward scene with Ferris Bueller vibes, I wondered if these references were actually supposed to be homages or if they were just lazy.
What might these middle-aged lesbians have to teach a younger generation, and what might the younger generation teach them in return? Tales of the City , released in a part miniseries over the summer, was another queer show dusted off from the archives and reimagined with a more progressive vision in mind. The series sees Mary Ann Laura Linney reprising her role return decades after the original series ended to her former home at Barbary Lane, where Anna Olympia Dukakis , now 90, is still smoking plenty of pot and playing benevolent landlady to an eccentric group of San Franciscans.
Now, the Barbary Lane tenants include a more diverse assemblage of queer and trans people. Tales of the City tries to do too much, with too many characters, all of whom seem more like dutifully included LGBTQ archetypes — items checked off a diversity list — than fully rendered people.
