The L-Word

Hey Everyone.

I just wanted to post the link to this video clip on my blog. It's from my favourite show the L-Word ( Thursday nights @ 10pm on Showcase ) Just to relate something back to my original Blog topic : Gay/Lesbian Media. I just wanted to give you a little taste of it so you can see what it's like.

The clip involves 2 characters Alice and Dana. Alice and Dana were together for a long time but then separated but since Dana was diagnosed with cancer the two have one again become close. Dana's cancer has spread and she has been hospitalized. Alice has stayed by Dana's bedside the entire time and is reluctant to leave her when one of the nurses suggests that she should go get some fresh air and get outside the 4 walls she's been couped up in. Alice leaves Dana's side to go get some time out of the hospitals unsettled atmosphere only to return to find that Dana has passed away in her absence.

This episode is entitled ''Losing the Light''

It is BY FAR the best episode I have ever seen out of 4 seasons. The writing was BEAUTIFUL. A tough emotional journey for the veiwer and especially for those who were attached to Dana's character. I think the night this episode aired, at the moment of Dana's death, a little peice of every L-Word fan died with her.

When you become attached to fictional characters it's so hard to see them die. The night this episode aired I cried for an hour after the credits rolled. It was a very heartbreaking moment in L-Word history. One of the most beautiful moments in the history of the show and one of my absolute favourite. I can't make it through a single time watching it without crying.

Enjoy
