    HEARTBROKEN to find out the showrunners didn't let her come back to the L word GenQ that's why it sucked!!! Anyways her advice on managing hard time was put so simply that I will remember that forever

    I like Shaw even more than Carmen, as much as I love Carmen it was a little stereotypical how they portrayed her Latin culture (speaking as a Latina) and Shaw is such a badass and unique character :)

    I've often hoped that they'd reunite the surviving POI characters with the DC team for a new run at the show.

    It's an absolute shame and travesty they didn't let her come back for Gen Q. It would have been a really amazing thing for longtime fans to see Shane and Carmen back together again 😭

    They are gorgeous and seem really nice but I want to remove the word “like” from their vocabulary unless they are describing something. Felt as though I was listening to Valley Girls 🙂
