#LostGirl - Faenatics Around the World are Doing the Happy Dance
A-frickin-men! Showcase renewed their hit TV Show, Lost Girl, for a third season. How awesome is that!
With the show starting to air in the US on Syfy January 16, 2012, and an exponentially growing fanbase around the world, there couldn't be a better way to welcome the holidays.
Lost Girl will be on a hiatus after episode 2.13 airs, but returns in full force with new episodes on January 22 at 9pm on Showcase.
A big CONGRATS to all the cast and crew for exceeding the viewers' expectations! I came to the party only about a month ago, but I enjoyed every minute of it and will sure love watching more of this:
And, certainly, so much more of this:
Who's with me?
Ok, going back to my happy dance now.
#LostGirl - Dr. Hotpants Drops the L Bomb
Whoa! Didn’t see that coming, especially after last week’s episode, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I don’t mean just the Doccubus. I also mean Bo/Kenzi, Bo/Dyson and even Lauren/Dyson. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Friends who stand by you when you need them the most? And Hale, OMG! Hats off to him for having Bo’s back the way he did!
This week Bo infiltrates in the violent underground fighting world to help a human muddled with the wrong Fae crowd. But the unexpected encounter with her past is the overwhelming factor in this episode. Her first boyfriend’s sister tracks her down and wants her to pay for killing him years ago after they had sex. This is pure torture for Bo as she came to the realization she never gave his family closure.
As badass and blue-eyed as she was, I so felt for the vulnerable Bo when she was floored in that cage. Her pain was almost mine, too. She didn’t accept Dyson’s offer to get some of his Chi and was just beating herself up for a crime she committed years back because she didn’t know who she was.
Bo isn’t the only one struggling with her past and present. Lauren’s torment at the mere thought of losing Bo while getting Nadia back is more than the usually controlled doctor can take. Lauren’s spur-of-the-moment declaration of love while nursing Bo’s wounds is sadly dismissed by our succubus who’s not keen to process this now. But the look in their eyes speaks volumes. Palmer and Silk nailed it again!
Past and present aside, I am so looking forward to seeing how this will affect their future.
Lost Girl Kinda Lost Me
I’m no Sci-fi geek but I started watching Lost Girl a couple of weeks ago, when I found out about it thanks to Afterellen’s Dorothy Snarker’s witty Twitter feed. The second season's 22 episodes are now airing on Showcase. It’s the first ever Canadian show I’m into, so I had to delve into it.
Lost Girl is the story of Bo (played by Anna Silk, whose resemblance with Mary Louise Parker is striking!), a lovable succubus who feeds off mortals’ sexual energy. In the first season she had to learn who she was, where she came from and why does she have the habit of leaving a trail of dead lovers behind. On her quest for answers, she takes the path between humans and the Fae (legendary creatures) and meets Dyson, a millennia year-old shapeshifter who falls in love with her. The next important character she gets to know is Dr. Lauren Lewis (Zoie Palmer, the revelation of the show) who helps control her hunger. Further on, questioning her own morals and beliefs, Bo has to deal with relationships and passions that will be put to the test.
Besides the humor which makes this show so much brighter, for which Kenzi (outstandingly portrayed by Ksenia Solo) gets the full credit, the relationships are the second reason I watch Lost Girl. And although Bo is a polyamorous bisexual, I appreciate the show’s lack of labels and sexuality judgements. Plus, Lost Girl appeals to a large and diverse community of fans.
Last week’s episode may have been entertaining for the actors in playing the comedic parts of swapping bodies - how amazing were Dyson as the frenzy Kenzi and Palmer’s reserved Dr. Lewis playing cuckoo! But writing wise it left a lot to be desired.
I am not one of those who can’t live without a tender moment of Bo and Lauren, even though I admit I am 100% Team Lauren, but the inconsistency displayed by both characters confused me. As their relationship was gaining momentum until that fierce kiss at the end of episode 2.08, Lauren gives Bo the cold shoulder at Bo’s attempt to discuss their situation.
Yes, Lauren has been conflicted – not easy to cope with the secret of having a girlfriend who’s been comatose for five years while caring about Bo, but she was always considerate towards Bo’s feelings. Anna Silk and Zoie Palmer are the first two female actors since The L Word’s Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman who incorporate that great deal of chemistry, talent and sensibility into their stellar work. Why wouldn’t the writers build upon that?
I sure hope for a graceful Lauren storyline as of now, or Bo/Lauren for that matter. Sending Lauren into limbo, and making Bo pine over Dyson without any reasonable depth is not appealing at all. Treating both Bo/Dyson and Bo/Lauren relationships with the same degree of respect is.
