Quotes:

Dana:[apologizing to Lara] Can I please try again? I really want to try again. Can I?
Lara Perkins:One thing.
Dana:[holding back tears] Anything.
Lara Perkins:You have to start taking at least take some steps towards being out.
Dana:I will.
Lara Perkins:Because you're going to be miserable being in the closet.
Dana:I know.
Lara Perkins:And you are really, really gay.
Dana:[almost laughing] I know.
Lara Perkins:And it's one of the things I like so much about you. If you hide that, you're hiding the best part.

Great Show

The L Word is a wonderful show it has style, class, meaning, and many other wonderful aspects. The show also has some wonderful, yet usually underated actors. Actors like Jennifer Beals who has always been a wonderful actress with great intelligence and talent, though she has not always had the best of parts to reflect on these aspects. Also look at Karina, Katherine, and Laurel who are also great actresses and The L Word has finally given them a fresh spot to display there skills. The story line of the show is also wonderful it represents a growing minority that needs it's spot on television. And showtime comes of with an outstanding series that blows QAF out of the water. Again a must see.
