"And I come back even stronger", Nov. 9 2007
"You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger"
- Helen Reddy " I Am Woman"
Season Four is a real test of the acting skill of the cast, and although there are some parts where the writers push the envelope a little too far, the stories are packed with drama, romance, heartbreak, comedy, politics, and yes, of course, it wouldn't be The L-Word without the steamy bits, of which there are many. The music is also exceptionally good this season.
Jenny Schecter continues to be the most annoying character ever written, and by the end of the season you'll hope that the tide never brings her back to Season Five. Full kudos must go to Mia Kirshner for playing this hideous role so perfectly.
Some characters (Shane, Bette) sink to the lowest of lows only to bounce back and even find love, while others (Helena, Kit) seem stuck with their respective demons. Max (Daniela Sea) is still working "his" way to manhood, while dealing with the loss of a family member, and tough times at work. Alice (Leisha Hailey) continues to be the backbone of the show, and Tina (Laurel Holloman) returns to the fold, but it's the amazing cast of newcomers that add the extra spark to the season.
Janina Gavankar heats up the screen as "Papi", a street wise young woman with a list of conquests that leaves even Shane in the dust. There is however, much more to Papi than her tough exterior, and it's a pleasure watching her character develop. There's Cybill Shepherd, who appears as Bette's boss and who's looking forward to moonlighting with the girls' team, but the best of the newcomers is definitely Marlee Matlin as Jodi Lerner, an artist who proves to be Bette's equal in many areas. Good performances are also turned in by Rose Rollins as Tasha, Sandrine Holt as Catherine Rothberg, Annabella Sciorra as Kate Arden, and Kristanna Loken as Paige. Look out also for the unexpected return of two characters from earlier seasons.
This season gives the hit show a much needed character boost, and is well worth watching. The only thing that could have been improved was the "extras" section, because there actually weren't any extras or bonus features relating specifically to the show or the characters.

All words starting with L are showcased., Fév 19 2009
Great. But still miss Marina and Dana. Jenny should be shot. Moira?max is a part that is a waiste. Shows us how the gay community deals with issues that the straight community deals with every day, but they deal with these issues with alot of critism and prejudice.
They deal with prejudice in the workplace, socially and in government bills and funding. Unfair and discriminating. The show is educating and not just about sex.
