THE L WORD GENERATION Q MASTERPOST
Back when The L Word Generation Q Seasons 1 and 2 aired, I was inspired to write about it and in particular about Dani Nunez and Gigi Ghorbani. But season 3 was such an unmitigated dumpster fire and the awful way some of the characters were handled (cough-Gigi-cough) that I refuse to waste any of my time writing about it. But seeing as so much work (and thought) already went into it, I'm posting this master-list for any who want to go through them.
Gigi Ghorbani on The L Word Generation Q
The L Word Generation Q - Is Dani into Gigi - Part 1 of 2
The L Word Generation Q - Is Dani into Gigi - Part 2 of 2
The L Word Generation Q - Bette and Gigi
Can you please do an analysis comparison of Dani’s growth as a person in her relationship with Gigi compared to how she was in her relationship with Sophie?: Link
Question cause I wanna know your thoughts. On the night where Dani, Gigi & Micah went out, Gigi runs into Bette and I think this is the scene where Bette tells Gigi she isn't enough (correct me if I'm wrong tho) Do you think that's why she confesses to Dani afterwards? As a sort-of rebound?( I dunno… i always found that kinda off, how she moved so quickly from one to the other): Link
how would you deconstruct the "Are you hitting on me?" statement by Dani. Gigi clearly wasn't seeing this coming and was slightly taken back by the upfront question from Dani and when Gigi says no, it seems like Dani is slightly taken aback and confirms by asking "but you are not sure" as if she wanted her to say yes and for things to move in other direction: Link
Have you done the comparison of Gigi and Bette’s date and Gigi and Dani’s non date? If not can you?: Link
The L Word Generation Q - The Bette and Dani Fight
About Dani’s feelings for Gigi and Finley showing up at her house: Link
What did you think of the scene where Dani shows up at Gigi's office & Gigi gives her an excuse but Dani straight up calls her out on it by saying "maybe you just didn't want to see me" Do you think Gigi was surprised by that?: Link
Dani's scene with Nat and Alice.
I hate Rodolfo for the way he treats his daughter. But I can’t help but keep going back to him saying to Dani that he thought she’d end up with someone like Gigi. Do you think it influenced the way Dani viewed Gigi ? Was it something that nudged her in Gigi’s direction?: Link
the scene in Dani’s apartment where she says to Gigi “you sound like Sophie”. With Gigi’s reaction, I felt like she was a little upset for being compared with Sophie. I think it is because she already had feelings about Dani but and the “ex comparison” thing was something she didn’t like a bit. What do you think?: Link
in the scene where Dani tells Gigi she’s easy to talk to and Gigi responds by saying “not everyone would agree with you.” The look on Gigi’s face after Dani says “fuck ‘em” has always struck me as odd. It’s almost like Gigi is surprised by Dani’s response, or wasn’t expecting that reaction?: Link
I want to say that your analysis of GINI scenes are amazing. I'm curious to know if you analyzed the GINI hottest scene from episode 8 of season 2. If you did please send me a link. If you didn’t I really want to know you thoughts about it (the bode language and the other). Also what do you expect from season 3?: Link (Really clowned myself in this one, didn't I?)
I wanted to ask you why Finley seems to be obsessed with Dani. Link
Thinking about how Marja said GINI came to be cause they couldn’t bring in a lot of actors because of Covid and how Dani was supposed to date around…had that happened do you think Gigi would’ve still been interested in Dani? Link
What did you think of the scene where Dani shows up at Gigi's office & Gigi gives her an excuse but Dani straight up calls her out on it by saying "maybe you just didn't want to see me" Do you think Gigi was surprised by that? Cause I personally think she wasn't expecting Dani to come and apologize but she loved every minute of it when she did: Link
How would you deconstruct the scene where Sophie said to Dani “Because I know you” after consoling Dani in Ojai and Dani’s response was a deadpan “Do you?” to that? Link
The other day on YouTube I read something along the lines of "Gigi mentors/mother's Dani too much and she'll eventually get tired of her, what Gigi needs is an equal as her partner not someone that's emotionally immature" What do you think? Do you think Gigi will ultimately get tired of Dani? I'm actually kinda curious cause Gigi herself said that she eventually tires of her partners. Link
I also think one of the main differences between Bette and Dani is that Dani is willing to learn from her mistakes and actively tries to change for the better. I think this was shown in how she went about in starting a relationship with Gigi. We know that her relationship with Sophie started with Sophie cheating on her then girlfriend with Dani and them “fucking in a bathroom stall” the first night they met. Before starting anything with Gigi, Dani actively made sure Bette was okay with it because she knew they were dating/had just broken up at the time. Link
Hey, thank you for all the analysis. Can you do a deeper analysis on the scenes from the time Gigi tells Dani that her feelings have changed to the time Dani ends up at Gigi's doorsteps just before their first kiss. I am particularly interested in the park bench scene. I feel there is a lot of subtext in their conversation. Also, curious on what made Gigi tell Dani about her feelings after Dana's. Curious if you think the events at Dana's influenced her to just go for it. Link
Thanks so much for keeping us alive post end of season 2. Would love your take on the epic kiss in the rain scene in 207! Link
Hey, Thank you so much for every post you have written about Dani and Gigi. Your posts make me appreciate them more and also grateful to have found this corner of Internet where I can obsess over these two. That being said, I have one more question. I am not surprised that Dani is into Gigi. Gigi is super awesome and there to support her in Dani’s toughest moments and common who wouldn’t love Gigi back. I am curious about why Gigi is into Dani? Link
There’s this look on Bette face when she sees Gi and Dani at the bar in the love shack episode (episode 6 I think). I’m curious what you thought of it. Was it - huh, Gigi moved on too soon look? Or something else entirely? Thanks. Link
What do you make about the scene with Bette’s reaction towards Gigi/Dani being close at the bar during the karaoke scene of episode 6 if she didn’t “give a shit about Gigi” and was pretty much done with her by then? Link
Hi, thank you for your analysis they’re good :). What so you think about the it’s LA I’m sure there was traffic scene? Because for me GIGI kind of let her of the hook easy. That was inconsiderate of Dani. I was curious about your opinion for that scene. Thank you :) Link

Anyway in honour of the death of Gen Q, RIP to my main girlies 🤍
Daniela Nuñez, love of my life. Girlbossing around the place and being hot while doing it. Having to deal with shit exes, shit friends and a shit Dad but still remaining pure of heart.
Tasha Williams being the only one to bring me real, true joy in this last season. Having a smile and laugh I could watch on loop for hours. She will ALWAYS be a legend.
And finally, Golnar Ghorbani herself. Ignoring the character assassination that took place for her exit, she was that special little something something that had us all in a chokehold. A character with so much love and life and power and softness, she deserved a better ending

Let's talk about the Yellowjackets #1
Vanessa Palmer
Van is a example of that character/person, which is a sunshine type of person, full of life and all but who also has the darkest dark when is push to it.
Van become somewhat blind to the whole Wilderness situation, a loyal servant and believer. And like I've said in my comments on the season finale, she was willing to trade someone's life to wherever it may come. We already know how it works, so she may be willing to do that to get rid of cancer.
What is interesting is that different from Tai, who did the same ritual but as her alter and not as herself (if that makes sense since her alter is also part of herself) , Van did it without any type of mask or embarrassment.
She is 100% okay with all they needed to do to survive, and she is willing to do it again. That's scary. I wouldn't trust her at all.
Taissa Turner
I hope they remember that she is a senator. That's why I was glad when Bette Porter lost at the TLWGQ season 1 vote, because I didn't want the show to become that type of political show. Now with Taissa, they can arrange a reason for her to step down or they can just forget that she was even elected (this would be the worst really)
Anyway, i really hope they focus more on her next season because there's a lot we need to unpack. The no eyed man, her alter, her family, her relationship with Van and why they aren't together in the present.... A lot.
Both young and older Van didn't have much to do this season other than search for help. But we could see better how she slowly became a part of the Wilderness cult. And I bet her relationship with Van will be torn apart by Van's fanaticism.
Coach Ben
The last rational of the survivor group. Kinda of the only one who stayed the same, didn't joined the Wilderness cult....yet. And now I have more theories about him
I think he may be the Antlers Queen, or King in this case in the present day, maybe still living in the woods. Which is why it's hunting the girls again. Or he will be the last offer, the last sacrifice. Cuz there's no way he would be rescued and didn't tell everyone what the girls did to survive.
I believe the show started and will end with the girls having to go back to the now burned cabin and Ben may be the thing that will bring them back.
Lottie Matthews
I can really be mad of her because she just wanted everyone to be okay. The problem was that she started something so big and serious that she couldn't handle. I don't know if it was a conscious or unconscious decision to name Natalie the Antler Queen but she couldn't bare be the leader any longer.
I'm curious to see what her character will in the next season. Especially the younger version

The L Word Generation Q | Bette & Shane
Did you ever think you would be spending your 40th birthday with a middle-aged lesbian and no chance of sex?
I wish you had told me you were a lesbian. You're so secretive.
I don't think that's so much of a secret, actually.

so i just finished tlwgq the other day and holy fuck i don’t know what to think so i’m going to dissect it a bit because i have a lot of thoughts. and i’m saving my favourites for last. some i’m just going to share the clear.... “arch” and not the character i guess??? idk.
1. micah: love his character development and i love that they’re showing the struggle of a trans man with his mother. he seems really cool and i hope they explore his story in greater depth (i do hope that they shy away from any overt violence towards him bc i think it would be tokenizing him... idk). i don’t enjoy his story arch with josé though. i hope this isn’t a storyline of like “we’re (josé & his husband) poly/open and i didn’t want to tell you”.
2. finley: a downright fucking mess. jesus. from being awkward to downright having no moral or ethical code re: dating, hookups, partying, etc. finley genuinely has a problem with alcohol as well as how religion and family ties into being gay. i hope that she figures it out bc honestly it is really making me hate her character. the worst scene for me was when she let tessa relapse. immediately i fucking hated her. even moreso with sophie.
3. tess: so sweet. i really felt my heart break for her when her gf cheated on her with shane. also fuck shane for that. seriously. i want her to find a nice girl to be with. i like gigi. i think they’d be kinda cute together. i want to see more of her arch though re: alcohol addiction and i want to see her flourish.
4. sophie: complicated character. i like her but i don’t think she’s matched well. she doesn’t seem to fit with anyone, dani or finley included, but i didn’t like that she cheated on dani with finley. it also just.... seemed to come out of nowhere. one day they’re platonic friends, and the next they’re kissing and fucking. i don’t like it. it just also seemed wildly out of character. curious to see what happens with her, next. i want them to develop her background a bit more. flesh her character out more.
5. shane/quiara: should not be together, clearly. shane is CF, wants to remain CF, and is a prime example of someone being pressured into parenthood when they shouldn’t be. i don’t think quiara and shane even had a bit of chemistry, at all, imo. shane seemed fine with sleeping with other women (per usual) but a bit more on the mopey side. i want shane with someone like shane. i don’t like this arch so far. that being said, imo, i think shane would make a good parent and i think maybe she needs to meet someone who she has that genuine connection with and then she realizes she does want kids. something like that. idk.
6. alice/nat/gigi: not much to say about each individually. i don’t like nat. i really like gigi but that’s superficial (i think she’s really fucking hot lmao). i wanted to see more of alice on her own, but her story immediately started off with her co-parenting with nat, and she doesn’t seem fit to be it. if they want to go that route of alice being a parent, i want them to fully commit to it; more scenes with the kids, and more talks with bette about raising kids. if they aren’t, and alice is going to be CF, i want alice with someone who’s CF (don’t suggest shane, i’m not into that). imo more than anyone i think alice should be CF, i don’t see her as a parent.
7. tina: kinda hoping she’s not permanent because i have never really liked tina. she has always seemed mismatched for bette and i know people love them together but i never liked tina with bette. i know bette is deeply attached to her and probably considers tina her person, but this season proved that tina clearly does not feel the same way. tina didn’t support bette when kit died (fuck you tina) and fell for someone else (understandable but poor bette holy fuck). it just feels as if tina and bette are destined to not be together and i hope s2 finally introduces tina’s new partner and bette can move the fuck on.
8. dani: probably definitely my favourite character so far. she 100% reminds me of a young bette. hot as hell. power lesbian, top energy. i am really loving the arch of “bad girl to good girl”, the kind of villain turned superhero arch. it’s fascinating to see. i want to see more interaction and dialogue with her and her dad and i hope maybe there could be a change with his tendencies???? it’d be nice to see a dad actually try and learn.
9. dani/sophie: bad couple. little to no genuine chemistry. sophie seems overbearing and demanding. dani is very much a bette ™ type and i think internalizes everything with the exception of those who are like her (i think this is an mbti personality thing) while sophie wants excess communication and i think dani wants someone who just “gets” her without talking. i don’t see them lasting, especially after what sophie did. i have no doubt dani will find out about that, too, but probably not from sophie.
(i’m not reviewing bette because she’s bette and i love her so let’s get on to what the season appeared to be hinting at.....)
10. dani/bette: sparks galore imo. they have a genuine attraction and likeness that grows throughout the season. they share a lot in common in terms of ethical beliefs and their love for art, and they began to know each others’ coffee orders, too. it’s hard to tell if it’s reciprocated by bette yet, considering the age gap and how wrapped up in the electoral race bette was. but there are moments that i’ve noticed lingering looks that she usually only gives to someone she has sexual chemistry or compatibility with. at times i wonder if she notices that dani’s been eyeing her, metaphorically (and literally) from across the room. dani is almost always smiling at her indirectly (shane’s party, while she was on alice’s show, and almost every time she’s on stage or talking to a crowd). this was hinted at by bette’s worker, after the bigger scandel broke (bette pushing that guy) and her coworker said “this is different for you, she got to you” or something. it was a slight nod towards “i can tell you’re attracted to her”. dani doesn’t even seem to fully acknowledge it herself, expressing that it’s just admiration. but this seems to change towards the end of the season. i loved the scene where bette was watching dani from across a quiet room, alone, and she was smiling to herself. to me, it seemed more of an attraction, particularly when she decided to casually chat with dani. but i really hope they don’t use bette as a surrogate mother for dani. when bette hugged her it read fairly maternal which grossed me out with the conflicting hints of mutual attraction, particularly the line before that when bette said that they’re “far past” a professional relationship. it also conflicted with what i felt by the end of the season, when i felt more confident that bette was noticing dani and felt growing attraction to her. i noticed bette’s lingering looks more strongly at the coffee shop while dani answered her phone (bette’s eyes followed dani), and especially when dani was at bette’s house and she offered her a whiskey. fuck, even when bette raised her eyebrows when dani said “yes” and then dani saw the eyebrow raise and immediately added “please”. i genuinely thought they were going to start to drink (and they did!) together and then sleep together (didn’t, darn it. oh well.). now that the electoral race is over, i think (and hope) they’re going to find more ways to run into each other and realize that even though they’re “finished” the race, they aren’t finished with each other. i think they’re very similar, they have a unique connection (by the end of the season they know the others’ coffee orders), and they have a genuine chemistry that appears to be reciprocated on some level. it could be interesting too, seeing that we’ve only seen dani topping sophie, and knowing that bette is more of a top herself. two tops with insane chemistry? both of who have a very similar personality, interests, and moral/ethical beliefs? plus dani constantly being enough of a top to call bette on her shit and make her hold herself accountable? they’re perfect for each other. i know age gaps are controversial but they’re both adults and it could be great exposure for agr’s if dani is the one to initiate “it”. please, tlwgq gods, make #danette happen and make them endgame. i beg of you.
