#the l word generation q s03

[shewholovestoread]

Now that production is underway on season 3, do you have a wishlist/desires/hopes and dreams for Gen Q? Anything from completely plausible and you’d be shocked if it DIDNT happen to “i want this but the writers would never”

I've learned to temper my expectations when it comes to shows/series.. Especially since we've seen inconsistencies going from season 1 to 2 (which is strange but not entirely unheard of)

Having said that, I guess I'm just hoping that we don't get manufactured drama where it isn't necessary (I'm looking at Gigi and Dani) and now that I've had a few months to think on it, I think it's pretty likely that the writers/showrunner will throw some unnecessary drama.

Wishlist/Desires/Hopes:

Bette gets therapy, she desperately needs it.

Bette and Tina resolution: I hope that Bette and Tina can figure out what they truly want from each other because this constant back-and-forth isn't healthy for either of them and can't be fun for Angie

Dani breaking free of her father's toxic influence: I think this is pretty likely to happen considering how the previous season ended but it'll be interesting to see how the show addresses it.

Gigi as more than a love interest: Gigi is probably one of the most popular character on the show and I want to see things from her perspective. We see other characters' POV when it comes to Gigi but rarely get her POV and that needs to change. I love Dani and Gigi together but I want to know more about Gigi beyond her romantic relationships.

Finley gets the help she needs: This has been a long time coming. Her drinking being a problem is something we see as early as season 1 and things haven't gotten better. She needs rehab and I hope she stays and gets healthy.

Finley and Sophie need to take a break: I'll be honest, I don't like Sophie, I didn't like her in the beginning and that hasn't changed. She's not great at communicating, only too happy to get on her high-horse and make the other person in the relationship feel like shit. I don't think Finley and Sophie are ready to be with each other and I'd rather have Finley focus on her recovery than get distracted by Sophie.

Bette and Dani patch up: One of the best dynamics in season 1 was Bette and Dani and their relationship. It was heartwarming to see Bette's genuine regard for Dani in both seasons 1 and 2 and Dani to have a friend in Bette who's just that, a friend, a mentor. I hope that Bette can pull her head out of her ass and she and Dani actually patch up.. (I just hope that they don't start dating, Bette has a horrible track record and that's the last thing Dani needs)

Dani and Gigi actually doing well: I just want to continue seeing Dani and Gigi grow individually and together. I loved their dynamic in season 2 and I hope we see their relationship solidify into something deeper. But I think it's highly likely that there will be at least some drama between these 2 (and not the kind the fans want) to make the show more "exciting". I'm expecting at least a small break between them or Dani shutting Gigi out..

Tom and Alice: These two are cute but if that was an engagement ring that Alice found in his bag, the dude is moving waaaaay too fast. Maybe hold your horses a little. I think the ring will freak Alice out and prompt her to bail on him. It's way too soon and I think Alice needs time to settle into the relationship without the pressure of "do I want to marry this man?"

Shane and Tess: I don't see either of them leave Los Angeles. But for the sake of drama, I think the writers/showrunner will make it seem like Shane is leaving but then she won't.

So this is what I think might happen in season 3. I'm trying very hard to temper my hopes... But the more important question is: Do I want to watch each episode as it comes out or wait for the whole season be out and then binge it. On the one hand, it'll be exciting to see the season slowly unfold and analyse and predict what will happen the following week. On the other hand, bingeing it all in one go means that I won't have to endure the agony of waiting a whole week.. Any suggestions?
