    I don't get Showtime, so I have a serious question.

    What does explicit mean here ("The L Word")? When you say "love scenes", what does that mean? Is this like Red Shoe Diaries, or is this just breast flashing and fondling?

    I do know "hot lesbians", if you mean men find them attractice and they dress nicely and wear lipstick. Lipstick lesbians are not that abnormal. Is it the absolute absense of any masculine looking lesbians, or is it the over the top glamor that is irritating the community.

    I keep hearing about this show so I'm curious. On the other hand, Showtime is REALLY expensive here, so I guess I love money more than satisfying my curiousity.

    Is this show really worth the $35 for another tier on top of the two I have?
