Everyone had motive, predictably

The sixth and final season of The L-Word begins with Jenny Schecter found dead. The usual 3-minute "Previously on The L-Word" segment to catch up viewers on the previous season's events is here dispensed with. That's because the episode then flashes back to three months ago, to roughly the time frame of the fifth season's last few episodes. But the sixth season premiere does not return to the crime scene in the 'present.' Having watched the first three episodes of this season on DVD, it looks like most of the rest of the season will be spent in the three months leading up to Jenny's death. So now we're going to be treated to predictably dull moments in which each important character on the show promises to kill Jenny. Hell, even Jenny herself might get such a moment.
