The latter half of the L word was garbage, the interrogation tapes were garbage, and the whole 6th season was a complete waste (including a huge waste of the Flawless One).<BR/><BR/>If you want to see a decent love story between two women on television, there's only one place to look: GUIDING LIGHT.<BR/><BR/>The Olivia/Natalia love story is angsty, compelling, realistic, passionate, difficult, intense - in short, better than 99% of the crap on television, gay or hetero.<BR/><BR/>Primetime is a vast wasteland right now, anyone who is missing out on this story will be kicking themselves later. Crystal Chappell is easily one of the five hottest women on television, and she's especially hot with another woman.
