Is it the last word for 'The L Word'?
Despite cold reception, gay women have warmed up to hot Showtime series

Visit just about any Web site dedicated to discussing and dissecting "The L Word" (its fifth season premiered Sunday on Showtime), and you'll find posters debating whether power dyke Bette should dump famous artist Jodi and get back together with movie producer Tina. And whether Tina should move on or go back to Bette, who, after all, is her baby's other mother.

In 2004, when the groundbreaking series featuring mostly straight, mostly feminine actresses playing lesbians began, there was plenty of criticism from the lesbian community about the show's glam portrayals, which seemed to sweep under the carpet the truth about Everylesbian.
