13 march 2006: is that a periscope in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
I hate it when characters die on TV shows that I like (RIP Dylan’s wife on 90210! RIP Nate on Six Feet Under! RIP Jen on Dawson’s Creek!).
Yes, I’d heard rumors that Dana was gonna to die (yes, “rumors” means that I sometimes cruise L Word fansites…but Chase-the-Spoiler-Queen certainly helped in this regard..:-)), and I knew it would happen on Sunday.
But OMG MY HEART BROKE OPEN. I think the episode was well done (well, aside from Preggers Bette talking nonsense with the weirdos at the bus station) and I also thought the splicing of Sharmen’s of makeup sex with Dana’s sudden death was an emotional cannonball capped off by the intensity of Alice’s dead-on heartbreaking reaction to the death. It killed me. I died with Dana.
I felt utterly emotionally drained afterwards (still), but, well, RIP Dana…
At least she got to tell Alice she loved her again.
That was cute.
The fact that Alice and Dana will never have sex again is massively depressing.
In other news….isn’t this THE BEST PICTURE EVER???!!
