 What happened? Series devolution at its finest..... February 15, 2008

Where to start. I'll start by saying I have rarely been more disappointed in a series as I am with the 3rd season of The L Word. I really enjoyed the 1st and 2nd seasons, and how miserably off course this series has strayed is hard to fathom, because the first couple seasons do not remotely resemble the train wreck that is the 3rd season of this series.
Was there a writers' strike during this season, because the writing, casting, and character development were absolutely horrid. Amateurish, at best. Why, oh why, the writers did what they did during this season is something for which I just don't think there is a logical answer. For example, the Billie Blaikie character is beyond annoying. Not only is this character totally irritating, but he's useless in terms of the story line. A complete and utter bore, and why the writers would decide to infuse this Jar Jar Binks-like personality into The L Word world is beyond me.
Moira/Max. Need I say anything more? Pairing this character with Jenny made no sense. Absolutely no sense. Jenny is devoloping her identity with her newly found orientation, and what do the writers decide to do? Pair Jenny with a woman who wants to become a man. Can they butcher what could otherwise be a potentially great character (Jenny) any further? Just how idiotically confusing do they want to make this character, anyway. I'm sorry, Moira/Max didn't fit in this show and I found her/his character a needless distraction, particularly considering the obvious lack of chemistry with Jenny.
Let's not forget about Angus. Could the writers have found a more dull character this side of the Milky Way? Ohhhhhh no, not just dull. Goofy, too. If they would have limited his role to babysitting Bette and Tina's baby, I would not be so upset. But come on, having him romantically involved with Kit made me cringe and gave me the willies every time they were together. Just another example of horrid writing and misplaced character dependencies.
Spoiler ahead, folks. The absolute strategic blunder of the entire series and evidence which is proof positive that the writers were out to lunch for this entire season--killing off Dana. Why did they do this? Dana was such a sweet, innocent character who many could empathize with, because her family was so conservative and she had struggled so much with coming out. I'm really quite bitter with this writing decision, and the decision to take this valuable character off the series simply tells me the writing isn't what it should have been. A mind numbing lack of vision was involved with this writing decision, because Dana, like all of the core characters, offers the series versatility and great character depth. A huge and completely unnecessary loss for this series.
I'm not happy with the direction of this series. The writing stinks. Too many characters make no sense. Character development is the pits. Strategic decisions to get rid of important characters is being carried out without much thought, it seems. I'll see what they have to offer for the 4th season, and if the writers of this series want a legacy for this show, let's hope they apply more logic to subsequent seasons....
