Warning, if you haven't seen the final episode of Season Two's The L-Word, you should click away now!Mrs. deWinter and I did poorly on our predictions: We were 1 for 3.
1. Bette and Tina will be back together by the end of the season. We got that one right. Though there's something of a cliffhanger about Tina, isn't there? Is she really ok, as Bette said? Odd to have her in the ICU and not in the beautiful baby-passing ritual in the hospital. (And if you're into it enough to confirm the word-on-the-streets that she will definitely be back next season, read
TV Guide's Interview with her.)
2. Shane and Carmen won't be together. Well, we got that wrong. What can I say? Interesting character development, for sure. And they do make a convincing match.
3. The housemate (Mark) won't be around by the end of the season. Wrong-o!
And I have to say, I'm glad we did so poorly. It means that Ilene Chaiken et al are doing anything but predictable work.
It's a good thing it's spring and outdoor life is wonderful. Women's Basketball season is over, the Figure Skating season is over, the L-Word season is over. Not much reason for TV watching. Well, that's probably not true. Mrs. deWinter and I love watching movies together, and for the sake of companionability, I sit through Trading Spaces and Designer Guys, and she tries really hard to sit through Venom ER and strange surgery shows (I missed the 160 pound tumor removal show, but I'll be looking for a rerun).

>My wife didn't even realize until after the episode was over that she didn't see Tina again
>Then she got rip roarin mad and said "You mean we are going to have to wait a damn year to see if Tina's ok???"
I had a similar reaction, so I went to the L-Word site and then signed up for the Forums (oh no, I may be becoming a true L-Word junkie). I didn't post there, but I did find the link to the TV Guide site (had to sign up there too; I wondered if I should get worried about myself). Laurel Holloman definitely said she was coming back, so I had a big sigh of relief. I think she wasn't in that scene because by then she was having her own baby, and by emergency C-section.
>Hey, do you think that Mom Peabody will help Bette get another job since daughter dearest got her fired?
I think that's a possibility. Mainly, I like the actress and the character and I think we'll keep seeing her around. Wait! That's no prediction, just a hope.
For some reason I never watched that show, but I may have to catch the last season.
