She probably accidentally drowned herself somehow, but if someone DID kill her, they did us all a great service. If I had to venture a guess, I'd possibly go for Molly...or the ghost of Dana.

Why is it that everyone hates Jenny so much? Is it just the character or do lesbian have a vendetta against Mia Kirshner. Personally, I think the character brought depth, perspective and and dimensionality to a show of otherwise flatline, boring story lines. I know, Jenny's the girl that we all love to hate, but I secretly loved every minute of it.

I personally dislike her character because she's exhausting. But I have to say that I did not hate her hot scene in last night's premiere episode. Not bad at all. But her character is so predictable that I told Melissa when it was over, "Now, she's going to get really mean towards that girl and say that Shane was the one who broke her heart." She's so batshit crazy that it's not even fun anymore.

ALICE. Or at least Alice will be framed for it.

I'm glad someone killed her. I hated Jenny. Which is separate from hating Mia Kirshner. I hated Jenny because she was annoying. She was selfish and self-centered and hypocritical and a pain in the ass. I hoped that she drowned but I also heard the rumor that Alice is going down for it.

In true "effed up" Jenny-the-diva-always-the-drama-queen fashion, Jenny will have committed suicide.

Good riddance.

From what I've seen of episode 2, I think Jenny simply wrote her own death. Maybe its for a new movie. Maybe she is just trying to atone for the dirt she's done. I think Jenny is the most interesting character on the show. I loved her Hollywood tantrums during season 5.

Jenny was a pain in the ass but I loved her and ithink she brought alotto the show just as much as everyone else, especially season 1 when Marina sexy ass turned her out, and then in season 6 when Jenny slept with Nikki and put her out,I loved it. I here that Alice will get framed for the murder but I think Nikki did it, because although she did what she did with Shane she did love Jenny and for Jenny to play her like that she really took it to heart.

Adelle killed Jenny. If Jenny stole the film for the Les Girls then I think Adelle would go after her, or at least get in a fight that accidentally resulted in her drowning.

I think Bette killed her. she had motive means and opportunity. She siad she wil do anything to protect her family(murder)Plus when asked by Tina had she seen Jenny she lied and said no when she was just with her moments before. Bette is the killer.

I think they all killed her together. Only the main characters were there with none of the extra girlfrinds / love interests / friends. The theme of the police investigation was "they were so tight knit they weren't giving anything up on each other".

It was Alice. They are planning a spin off series called the farm, a lesbian prison drama in which Alice's characted is to be the star. Its been mentioned that if the farm goes ahead, it will be tied in to the end of the l word. So tah dah! Before I read that, I would have said Nikki. It was just too completely random that the cops found her hiding in the bushes. Also Bette was completely nervous in her interview, and they repeated her statement twice, close up with eye twitches lol.

I think it was that skank in the bushes that killed Jenny-
My words GO NIKKI!!!

Shannon said...

It was me.

I think that Jenny is the most dramatic character on the show. She draws the audience to wonder what mysteries lay behind those deep beautiful eyes. I think that it would have been the most dramatic for Jenny to have committed suicide. Bette, Tina, Shane, Alice, and etc were ungrateful friends. However sometimes backwards Jenny stood up for what she believed in.

I think she committed suicide. She new everyone hated her, she said it. She felt alone, her career was ruined and she wasn't sane to start with. She probably took something to make her sleep or something, then got in the pool to drown.

I didn't like the way she acted but Mia did a bang up job of making her as likable as the script allowed. I love Mia.

It was Bette who killed Jenny. When Bette and Jenny were talking on the balcony Bette made it clear to Jenny that she didn't take kindly to threats and that she would do anything to protect her family. That is the last time you see Jenny alive. Bette makes the excuse of being upstairs to check on Angie. Then you see Jenny's dog on the edge of the pool, looking down and crying at something, aka Jenny's body. Then all of the 6 women and Max are together in one room, Alice goes to find Jenny and comes back 15 seconds later to reveal that Jenny is dead. So there, I say it was Bette.

She fell. otherwise its not a good show. like any other random show everything has to turn out "and they lived happily ever after".

she went down the balcony and tripped and drowned cuz the stuoid couldnt swim. SHE IS SO HOT!

LesbiansInOhio said...

We personally think it was Nikki Stevens or Bette Porter. Honestly I would have to admit that I love Jennifer Beals as an actor and would be totally shocked if it was her so Im hoping not. Guess in the long run they will come out with something I mean can they really keep us guessing? Well I guess they can, there directors. And the show The Real L word will never compare to this screen play of The L word!

I know this blog is old but I just go done watcjing all 6 seasons (what an amazing 6 days I just had) and this is the first I have heard of this farm series but I will google it next....it makes sense that all the originals except Alice killed her Bc no one wanted to go look for her but Alice....why? Bc Alice cant keep a secret. As a character, I would have offed the hitch, too. As a viewed I loved every minute of the drama. Thanks showtime, you have made me feel comfortable with my curiosity.

Wiesbadener said...

...thanks. Jenny had never begin to start. That were the best. I don't like this layer and player. She is and was all the time really eagle! Better-she had never start!

pour little girl.....that its, what she want. And now: she is!!! Pour little stupid dummi girl!

I don't understand, why women who's loves women one second for schector spend any time!!!

Best regards Eva for all lovely women.

Wiesbadener said...

I love the L word-all of these character. I wished,I could the only one eagle women cut out of these lovely series. After years again-I saw it again. And I feel again-just harder. Jenny was from the beginning a trash. WY didn't stop nobody her?
It is A shame, that she didn't lost these drama not earlier!

May, she had an affaire with someone, who spend money and gave these poor little stupid girlie a little bit sex. and may, she gave some eagle character with eagle gest a poor little man or woman back.

Poor character Jenny.

Wiesbadener said...

Cool! Great! We all understand it!
Best regards, Eva

I kno I'm super late but I jus watched the interrogations on you tube where niki confesses to stealing the negatives for lez girls n putting them in Jenny's attic

Anonymous said...

I think bette did it and my theory is that it was an accident and thats why she was the one that got up first when alice came to the room and i think that bette told everybody what happend and they all hated jenny so they all plan the story but nobody knew that nikki was there and she saw everything and thats why shane told her to shut up and nikki knows that they love eachother and will cover up for each other

Anonymous said...

Yeah but i think bette didnt know she kill her i think it was an accident and thats why she was the first to get up when alice found her

I just finished watching L Word and now I feel completely empty. I also know who killed Jenny Schecter. It wasn't just one person. I believe it was everyone, and everyone is defending one another. And I quote, 'We're a tight nit group, we can take care of ourselves.' If some of you missed this, then you weren't really watching.

That would be too damn obvious.

I recently finished the l word. And I just had to post my thoughts. I haven been analyzing jenny's character. Its so complex and the show left gaps in alot of the stories,like many tv series do. But, I think after what happened with shane and nikki by the beginning of season six we are introduced to a jenny that has reverted back to her former issues she had growing up and in season past. I think she saw the girls and especially shane as her last glimmer of hope,control, and family. Once this all started spiral out of control for her, she felt there was nothing left for her. Like Shane and others noticed she was fragile and crazy..basically damaged goods. Therefore, I think she committed suicide. Just like in her book where she told her teacher she killed sarah shuster, remember? I think mia kirshner played this role excellent because there were so many layers to jennys character .

The L Word:top notch acting, writing, human pathos at its best. Great exploration of ALL humanity. Mia does a fantastic job with her character, she does the show a service as Jenny is used to demonstrate how not to treat people and is a writing tool for creating trouble in the story. I think the writers want us to think Bette did it but she is in tears in the last words to Jenny and is more sad than angry and though fierce and strong in her approach to life, she is not violent and is a highly moral character. Also if she had just murdered Jenny, she would not have been calm in the scene with Bette. She is too good a human being to be so casual about a terrible act as murder. The statements about how they take care of each other is just a summation of these women's story and a major theme throughout. Shane would never harm anyone or go along with such a plot! She is the opposite of Jenny, far more wounded by life, she is one of the most mature and moral characters who never feels sorry for herself in great contrast to Jenny.

One theory I have is that after Nikki talked with Jenny, (come on the writers did not put her hiding in the bushes for no reason but yet this character would not murder either), Jenny lost it and in her head already rightfully bashed by more than one friend that day, she decided to not only punish all her friends with her suicide, but to make it appear that Nikki killed her to retaliate. Why else would Nikki be hiding? She had to be there at the last moment of something terrible. This seems consistent with Jenny's character at the end, she had become behaviorally twisted. She was a very damaged, self pitying person and when her story was stolen from her, etc. it was like stealing what was left of her soul and potential goodness and she became the sicker, sadder character we saw at the end. My two cents.

Re-watched last episode. Bette left Jenny on balcony and Jenny was the only one not present when they warned everyone about the dangerous balcony conditions. If Nikki did it she would have run from the scene out the back gate between the properties,not hidden in the bushes. She probably came across the pool area from Jenny's house about the same time Alice came out or the police and she got scared that she would be accused of her death (she is young and a coward) and hid in the bushes.

All through the episode, they keep mentioning the balcony, show the tape over and over including in the scene with Bette, how far the drop is to the pool. All the characters at some point want to SAY they want to kill her (except Shane) but none of them did it.

If Jenny were considering suicide she would have staged a more dramatic exit for them to find. She does not appear to be in a suicidal state, she just sold her stolen idea for a lot of money, so her career has been revived. She does not indicate a suicidal state on the video either.

So I think it was an accident on the balcony.

I just finished watching the show and loved every second of it and here is my theory.
1)Suicide. Jenny planned it all along, after the police officer tells them they need to go to station, scene after that was Jenny in the video saying goodbye and i think its not just goodbye to Beth and Tina it was goodbye to everyone it was like her last goodbye ,because she knew everyone hated her and that she doesnt belong and i think Jenny could handle it anymore ...
2)Alise. In the scene when Tasha comes over and Alice hugs her Alise whispers to her "i killed her" you could barely understand it ,but its there ,you could hear her say something like killed ,it doesnt sound like dont(dont leave ,because Tasha said Im never gonna leave) its too long to be "dont" ... I dont know the reason Alice why would Alice kill her ,but i think it has something to do with all the girls , i think they all planned this somehow and it came to execution ,and it was alice who had done the deed and thats why she said to Tasha i killed her and tasha didnt react.

But im sticking to suicide theory cause we didnt hear any screams anything ,no splash sound from fallinf in the pool ,nothing if someone pushed her of the ledge i think she would scream at least ,no? But alice and the rest of them seem plausible too ,i just dont know everything is just crazy. Anyhow it was great watching it and like i said loved every second of it and im a sucker for cliffhanger endings ,love the mystery :D

I think Jennys death was suicide because she was much to selfish to share the light with anyone. She knew they would look for her. She also stole the negative. She wanted to be the director and star lead of the film and this was her manipulatve strategy. Besides the other characters were too pussy to do it (kill Jenny) but if I had to pick I would say it was KIT.

Unknown said...

Alice and Nikki killed her I think

Alice whispers in her ear I killed her

Nikki was giving information about Jenny but was told to shut up

Honestly I think all of them killed her Or atlese know who killed her

They kept mentioning to everyone about there being no railing on the balcony and to be careful. My guess is she fell and hit her head and then drowned.

I think that I have no fucking idea and I want the truth! the Whole truth and nothing but the truth fu*k theory! Its a story! I don't want the different variations I want what the writer created not everyone else's ideas dammit!

It's a long time ago somebody posted here but I really want to add something because I still love the mystery they created about Jenny's death. I just wondered why nobody mentioned before that Alice asks the cops: "What does this have to do with who killed Jenny?" It's obvious that Alice gets the main suspect after that question.

I don't think Jenny killed herself because I don't think it's possible the way how she died: She was alive a few minutes before, she had nearly no time to take sleeping pills or other drugs to SWIM DEAD IN A POOL. and who jumps from the second floor into a pool, when he or she wants to kill herself!? But maybe she killed herself, because it would be a little bit like repeating Jenny+Marina's story, where Marina tried to kill herself in the end.

In my opinion she got drownded by Alice or NIKI, both had reasons to hate her. I think it was Alice, she had the best reason to hate her.

Nevertheless it could have been Niki eighter because she didn't call the ambulance. She hides in the bushes while the love of her life drowns in front of her? No way!! She was like a puppy before when Jenny wanted to talk to her before the auction. Niki's in rage, after Jenny broke her heart AGAIN. Niki told the audience "Jenny's dead meat." Niki hates Jenny for breaking her heart, like Jenny got out of control for nearly the whole series after Marina broke her heart ...

I think Niki is a selfish whore. She didn't fight for Jenny AT ALL, she betrayed her with the male actor (I still wonder why Jenny wrote her a love letter after that), she didn't take her side to leave the movie set -> Niki did nothing for Jenny. Instead she fucked her best friend Shane. So maybe it was Niki, like a crazy jerk who got out of control after she found out that she had a heart ;)

My eyes are on Bette. I think she pushed Jenny off the balcony since it was not sturdy. But then, how come no one heard a splash or something?
Then the writer wouldn't make it so obvious, or would she......
It's 2015 and I must say, I loved watching The L Word!
I wished they continued... I wanna meet Bette & Shane someday!
