Every season, the L Word gives us some completely unforgettable moments. Some of these scenes and dialogues are so strong, they have even made their way into lesbian lingo and culture. Who can forget one-liners like Tina’s “Did you f*** all night before you told her I was the love of your life?”, or “We are not faggots, we are dykes, you a******e” by Jenny? Or the scenes that are simply too emotional to put into words, like Bette and Tina having angry violent sex after discovering Bette’s infidelity. Whatever that caught your fancy this season, this is my personal best of the season: the scenes and lines that makes the agony worth it.

Top 10 scenes

1. Bette, Alice and Shane stealing the '17 Reasons Why' sign [episode 12]

2. Phone-tree drama [episode 6]

3. Shane and Alice vandalising Shane's Hugo Boss ad [episode 9]

4. Argument/mediation scene between Bette and Tina, as Joyce convinces them to settle it amicably. [episode 1]

5. Angus at Tina's straight-and-gay mixed party talking about 'BoyButter' [episode 3]


6. Signed argument between Jodi and Amy [episode 10]

7. Alice's monologue in the sex scene between her and Phyllis [episode 4]

8. Jenny freaking out at Curve magazine receptionist [episode 2]

9. Basketball game [episode 4]

10. “Intervention” by all the friends when Bette runs off with baby [episode 1]

Best line from each episode

Episode 1: Helena to Alice- I can't even buy a pair of shoes with 3500 dollars!

Episode 2: Jenny to Curve receptionist- Do you know what merkin means? Vagina-wig

Episode 3: Papi to Shane- You're just a skinny little white girl.

Episode 4: Papi to Alice - What are you going to call yourself, the bourgeoisie girls?

Episode 5: Jenny to Alice- Would you kiss me? Please kiss me! I beg you. I'll buy you starbucks for a week.

Episode 6: Bette- Some lesbians, you need to break up with them more than once

Episode 7: Kit – “I once gave a blowjob to a home-player. For a line of cocaine!” Helena – “Afterwards, how did you feel?” Kit – “High. I was a high whore.”

Episode 8: Tasha to Alice- The question is, why the hell am I here? Alice- Because we want to fuck each other!

Episode 9: Leonard to Phyllis- What are they doing that is more important than helping me understand why my life is suddenly falling apart?

Episode 10: Amy to Jodi [about Bette]- Does she whisper sweet nothings in your ear? Make you feel like a part of her world?

Episode 11: Kit to Angus- You should have thought of that before you had the nanny's lips wrapped around your dick.

Episode 12: Alice to Bette- I’m stuck! I’m stuck! Go without me! Leave me behind! Save yourselves!

*****
I would have a done The Worst of the Season, but doing so would indefinitely destroy my faith in the show. And I, like a besotted lesbian who knows her lover is really bad news, but just can’t find the strength to let go of her because the time they spend together can still be wonderful sometimes [in other words, like Bette with Jodi], am not ready to let go of The L Word. Here’s to hoping for Season 5, full of lesbian drama, hot girls and lots of sex.
