Lost Girl - 1x01

OMG! I just watched a kickass Canadian show. I'm so happy you guys, I don't even ...
Synopsis: Lost Girl focuses on the gorgeous and charismatic Bo, a supernatural being called a succubus who feeds on the energy of humans, sometimes with fatal results. Refusing to embrace her supernatural clan and its rigid hierarchy, Bo is a renegade who takes up the fight for the underdog while searching for the truth about her own mysterious origins.

Oh, Canada. My home and native land! Thank you for finally producing a show that I am excited to watch. It's like the dawning of a new era. I'm so happy ya'll!
Also, because this is my f-list I am happy to announce to you all that the pilot had a shit ton of femslash!
The scenes between Bo and Dr. Lauren (a.k.a Dr. Blake Lively Look-a-like) had me squeeing like I was watching Rizzoli & Isles or Morgana/Morgause Merlin scenes! Also the relationship between Bo and Kenzi is really cute (Kenzi so has a mad girl-crush on Bo) and kinda gay (Bo actually declares, "She's mine!" at one point). It's too hard to tell at the moment, but Dr. Lauren might be a legit gay character, and Bo definitely comes across as being bisexual.
I am totally in for next week Showcase!
Now, I must go watch The Gates because I see Devon and will therefore totally love this episode.

Date: 2010-09-13 02:43 am (UTC)Lost Girl definitely has an element of cheese to it what with all of the supernatural creatures and limited budget for CGI/special effects. But the acting was really strong, especially from the lead Anna Silk who has a lot of screen presence and the supporting characters were strong. The most well known actress in the pilot (Emmanuelle Vaugier) was really the only one who was camping it up. Zoie Palmer (Dr. Lauren) was also very charismatic and fun to watch.
Overall I was very impressed by it. It's not some award winning HBO show or something, but I was pleasantly surprised by it, and I would say it's one of the better genre show pilots I've seen in a while.

Date: 2010-09-13 09:00 am (UTC)And Bo, canonically bisexual! YES! I mean, it seemed impossible after watching that she wasn't, but it's good to have confirmation. And now I really think there will be a love triangle between Bo/Dr. Lauren/Bearded Fae Cop guy!
Team Lauren!

Date: 2010-09-13 07:47 pm (UTC)The vampire guy was hot. I really and truly hope that Dyson (vampire guy), Bo, and Lauren all end up in some kind of crazy love triangle, because the sexy and pretty would be out of control.
I second the motion for huge orgies! This show is full of pretty and they all have chemistry together. Go git it!

Date: 2010-09-13 07:49 pm (UTC)I know, right! they were ridiculously hot together, and also really cute. Lauren's immediate "No," when Bo asked her if she wanted her to stop made my pants so happy!
Kenzi really is golden. I really enjoyed her. I think I'm going to really like the Bo/Kenzie friendship. And despite Kenzi's words, she totally has a girl-boner for Bo.

Date: 2010-09-13 07:50 pm (UTC)The Gates continues to not be gay at all *sigh* I really wish they'd have Devon and Claire interact again. It's become clear to me that the chemistry between Rhona and Chandra was the most enjoyable thing for me. They haven't even been giving me Brett pretties lately. *sigh* This show focuses so much attention on everyone who bores me, and no attention on the pretties.

Date: 2010-09-13 09:54 pm (UTC)I'm glad I was able to sniff out something for the masses! I also need to give mad props to my mom for calling me and reminding me to watch this gem!
The Dr. Lauren scene was a thing of beauty and I have rewatched it numerous times already. They had such good chemistry, and I found Dr. Lauren to be ridiculously cute.
I think a Bo/Saber-toothed Cop (LOL) pairing is inevitable, but from the previews for the next week which seemed to have some more Dr. Lauren flirting, I'm hoping that the show will genuinely have a Bo/Lauren/Saber-Tooth love triangle.
but that won't stop the femslash I'm sure this will generate (so long as enough people get to see it)
This. I hope that people are still able to see it even though it's airing on a Canadian network, because I think this really has the possibility of developing a rabid femslash audience in the vein of Legend of the Seeker or Rizzoli and Isles as long as people are able to see it. *fingers crossed*

Heh, my favorite part was when Bo apologized for using her powers on Lauren and Lauren was all 'honey, you don't have to use your powers to get me to do anything you want'. Lauren's got it and she's got it BAD.. and by 'IT' I do mean 'wants inside Bo's tight leather pants'.

Date: 2010-09-13 11:16 pm (UTC)Seconded! I watched this is a very pleasant, very down low tickle-y haze!
Bo is like Kahlan if she'd never knew what a Confessor was!! Now, she just needs a Cara-type to complete her!
LOL! OMG! Bo is so even-more-tortured!Kahlan Amnell. Bo's even more screwed in that she can't even kiss people without sucking out their life-force. At least Kahlan could get her make-out on!
I think Dr. Lauren could be just what Bo needs. Dr. Lauren is totally a Richard-esque sweet, considerate good-hearted person who would totally just love to hold her hand until Bo can git on her without killing her.
Bo apologized for using her powers on Lauren and Lauren was all 'honey, you don't have to use your powers to get me to do anything you want'.
lol! I loved it. Lauren's "No," made me squee like whoa. Girlfriend wanted to take a ride on the Bo Train so goddamn much! Not that I blame her. Bo is smokin' hot.
Lauren's got it and she's got it BAD.. and by 'IT' I do mean 'wants inside Bo's tight leather pants'
lol! Lauren caressing Bo's naked back was ridiculously arousing. As were her wandering eyes. Damn girls, keep it up! Keep it up!
I cannot wait for next week.

Date: 2010-09-14 03:08 pm (UTC)And it is so true theres like fem-eyesex every turn you freaking make, like every one wants to get in her pants power or not (and I dont blame them I'm so standing in that line lol even kenzi does cause the whole announcement of 'I only like dudes' had Bo like 'bitch like I give a shit and asked you but nice to know')
the whole doc!Lauren/Bo scene had me become one with the chair now I mean so what if the fangy cop kissed Bo but Doc Lauren got to see the goods for a very long time with lots of touching and eye-sex. I aww'd for a sec when Bo told her she was sorry for using her power on her but lol'd really loud after with the 'bitch-what-you-sorry-for? look' so over all I loved it even if I like skipped the cop guy scenes casue I really dont care lol.

Date: 2010-09-14 08:19 pm (UTC)And I'm totally down with everyone wanting to get in Bo's pants, cause I do too so I have no room to judge. Also, girls looking at girls like they want to lick them is never not awesome.
I cannot wait for future Bo/Lauren interactions. I can already tell they are going to be epic. I cannot wait until Lauren gets in Bo's pants for real!

Date: 2010-09-15 10:25 pm (UTC)I thought the pilot, especially some of the writing, was a bit clunky. I agree with the assessments that Morrigan and the sidekick are try-hards, but I'm not that surprised. I don't know anything about the actor who plays the sidekick, but Emmanuelle Vaugier, who plays Morrigan, is not a good actor. Fortunately, the actors playing the lead, the detective, and the doctor are decent-to-good and likable. They just need to settle down in their roles a bit. Picking Anna Silk as the lead was a really good choice, because she knows how to play sexy, and she knows how to give her acting partner that look, like she wants you. I also really like Zoie Palmer, who plays the doctor. She's good at emotion and subtlety. Kris Holden-Ried, who plays the detective, is probably the most well known in Canada.
Oh, and Showcase.ca lets you watch it without downloading.
