Lost Girl - 1x04 - Faetal Attraction
Solid episode.
I love the Bo/Kenzi friendship more and more every episode. They are wonderful BFFs, and really work together/play off of each other really well. Kenzi waking Bo up in the morning was the hilarious (Bo handled being woken up by a popsicle to the face better than I would have) and Kenzi's cure's for heartbreak were pure gold. I'd love to be able to just smash up an old car in the middle of nowhere when I was feeling blue.
There was Lauren (yay!) but not enough of her (boo). The scene between Lauren and drunk!Bo was cute though (Bo being all 'if you're looking for sex I'm the best at it' was pretty funny). Also, Lauren did that sexy thing with her tongue again, which makes the scene a keeper. And, of course, I heart Kenzi for immediately shipping Bo/Lauren once she saw them interact which each other. This "Lauren's human so I'll kill her if I sleep with her thing" better start being addressed in a more proactive way though, cause I want my Bo/Lauren on-screen smooches and I'm not enjoying the cock-blocking going on (okay, I am, but I'd like it more without the cock-blocking).
*has Rachel/Ivy Hollows flashbacks ...

...curls into fetal ball and waits for the bad remembers to go away*
Bo's sexcapades cracked me up. Walking out of the pub like a pimp with people hanging off both arms. And then the look in her eyes and the smile on her face when she mentioned coming up with a 'safe word' was pure sex. And of course Bo literally pouncing on them, and then the moaning and structural damage to the house was quite amusing. Poor Kenzi. If Bo keeps it up, Kenzi probably isn't going to try to set her up anymore! "I'll get my earplugs" indeed!

I disliked Dyson this episode. Dislocating the shoulder of a teenage suspect, trying to humiliate the department shrink who's just doing her job and bitching out his boss were all very fail. Dyson's man!angst =

no1curr!
I felt much about Dyson this episode as I felt about Lee Adama for all of BSG and I don't want to have to go through that again.
It was cool learning what type of Fae Dyson's partner was. There were some nice Greek mythology elements in this episode. The Furies special effects were pretty neat, though they didn't really seem all that scary TBH.
How the plot of the week resolved itself was kind of stupid, but whatever.
Looking forward to next week, though I am displeased that I didn't see Lauren in the promos. I'm hoping that this is just shoddy promo-making however, because I am not a fan of only getting to see my darling, she who lights up my life, my sun and stars, my one true love Dr. Lauren every other week.

Small doses of Dr. Lauren do keep me going though. I watch like a hawk for the smallest glimpse of her. It's amazing how much I love Lauren already considering the fact that she's barely been on screen. Zoie Palmer's just works it.
Is Devil worth sitting through just for Zoie?
P.S. If you scroll down the comments in this thread a link for the episode was posted (if you haven't already seen it).
no subject
I'm going to say no on Devil. She plays the girlfriend of one of the guys in the elevator. She does speak but is really only onscreen for 5 mins if that. I'd wait for the DVD! LOL.
Edited because everyone and every where are not the same thing!

I finally got to watch it last night. It was worth the wait, but still--NOT. ENOUGH. LAUREN. Boo, I say. Boo. lol.

This forever. There will never be enough Lauren for me.

Lauren needs lots and lots more screen time, especially with Bo!

Lauren needs to make a move...damn!!
no subject
I would so agree with this if she wouldn't die. Damn you show, for making me want Lauren to save a horse and ride Bo, but also making me want her to keep her distance so that she doesn't die.
Lauren needs to engage that big doctorly brain of hers and find out a way for Bo to safely sex her all night long!
no subject
I've just realized that Bo/Lauren is my substitute Cara/Kahlan. Only, this time, there will be on screen sexing or I'll seriously hurt someone.
no subject
And yes, far more Lauren in needed. I mean, the slow build up probably bodes well for them having a well-developed romance down the line, but I LOVE (or as Kenzi would say LURVE) Lauren so that lack of her hurts and depresses me.

Episode 1x04 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CGEUECNC)
also, I really like your lost girl fic. write more please! You made me ship bo/lauren so hard I even woke up at 5 am. to check for download link of this episode.
no subject
And I'm really glad that you're enjoying the fic. I ship Bo/Lauren hardcore so there will definitely be more. The show is just killing me with the fact that they can't even make-out without Bo maybe killing Lauren *sigh* They are so star-crossed at the moment, it's so tragically beautiful and incredibly frustrating!

I definitely want to write more Bo/Lauren too, the show is just pulling a real Legend of the Seeker in that my porn focused brain doesn't know what to do with two characters who can't sex without one possibly dying. It reminds me of the early days of trying to write Kahlan/Cara *ah, sweet memories*
P.S. Thanks for posting the link. You have made many people very happy :D

This.
I suppose if they gave her more screentime, she'd take over the show. Or something. I am not opposed to this.
no subject
It's true. It's like if a little Lauren goes such a long way, a lot of Lauren would dominate everything. Personally I'm okay with this because Lauren is the wind beneath my wings, she's the icing on my cake, she's a gentle breeze on a warm summer's day. I feel like Gollum must have about that damn ring about Lauren. My precious ... moar screen time for precious!
no subject
It's not resolved itself yet.
=)
BO AND LAUREN SHOULD SHUCK!!!! hahahaha ;)
Re: =)
I LOVE THE KENSI AND BO SCENES!
This. They really are the heart of the show. They play off of each other so well. I just find myself grinning when they're on screen together. They are love. I friend!ship them so hard.
And Bo and Lauren definitely need to get it on immediately. Lauren needs to put her doctor powers to good use and come up with a way for Bo to sex her safely!
no subject
Yeah it sucks that there's no more Lauren. It's annoying to wait a week for new episode and then find out there's (possibly) zero Lauren in it.
no subject
I just couldn't resist. When I started using the phrase cock-blocking, the Hollows immediately came to mind. Thank god I know the cock-blocking in temporary on this show, and unlike with Rachel, Lauren will put out the moment she knows it won't kill her (and maybe even before that, lol).
I totally feel like a junkie when it comes to Lauren, I just need more and more of her. It's amazing how many of us are hooked on her considering her limited screen time. Zoie Palmer has mighty powers of charisma.
no subject
his "Lauren's human so I'll kill her if I sleep with her thing" better start being addressed in a more proactive way though..
While there definitely needs to be more Lauren, I kinda like what they're doing with the setup. Each week, the show's been progressing more and more in regards to Bo's sexuality and, this week, they showed Bo not only likes the girls, she likes getting busy with them. Bo finally realizing she can have sex without killing people, it's kinda like she's regressed emotionally. Well, technically, she's kind of teenager right now in that aspect since she's never experienced it before. Once Bo gets her ya-ya's out, I
hopepresume she'll want to seek some actual emotional intimacy along with the sex. Which is where Lauren fits in, and I'm pretty certain Dyson's lying is going to play into this as well.I disliked Dyson this episode.
Haha, after he dislocated the kid's shoulder, I spent all the Dyson parts finding something else to do.. like get desert, or another drink!! It worked out really well because I've definitely had my fill of man!angst. While I like the actor who plays Dyson, I do feel like the show is teetering into 'way too much Dyson' territory. And, really, with all the angst Bo's carrying around, do we *really* need ANOTHER character wangsting around?
no subject
I'm so glad it's getting better and better. I didn't love the second episode, but last week and this week were really good. I'm so hooked on this show and I couldn't be happier about it.
Once Bo gets her ya-ya's out, I hope presume she'll want to seek some actual emotional intimacy along with the sex. Which is where Lauren fits in, and I'm pretty certain Dyson's lying is going to play into this as well.
You make such a good argument! And intellectually I know you're right, Lauren just makes my pants so happy that I want to see more and more of her. I can be patient though, especially since I totally think you're right about Bo's real first emotional relationship being with Lauren and that is very relevant to my interests.
It worked out really well because I've definitely had my fill of man!angst. While I like the actor who plays Dyson, I do feel like the show is teetering into 'way too much Dyson' territory.
I'm at my man!angst limit. I nearly rolled my eyes out of my head with the Dyson crap this episode. I like Kris Holden-Reid too, but they are definitely falling into the 'too much Dyson' trap (though the straight girls love him to bits so I'm sure his elevated screen time is due to that). It's like, I don't want Bo to be Angsty McAngsterson, but if I'm gonna be seeing someone struggling and growing and occasionally angsting on Lost GIRL, I want it to be Bo.

They've done very little with Lauren, but thats understandable... they want to push the Dyson/Bo line which I'm guessing will end up being the favoured pairing (we cant expect them to be too foreword thinking lol).
But damn if their mystery plots SUCK lol I totally agree that the furies were not half as scary as they should have been. In fact there isnt a single evil fey character they've introduced that is half as scary as they try to make them out to be (headless creatures killed off easily, the kappa just gets knocked upside the head - it would have been way cooler if they followed mythology and she bowed before it instead). These furies are supposed to be bad ass and all we get is a fight between eye colours which bo takes care of quickly? Hell the human psycho was the first really intense evil character they put up lol
And Dyson should have in the very least gotten suspended for injuring a suspect like that.
Bah. The writers need to use more imagination. I only watch it now to see how they handle the Lauren/Dyson/Bo triangle they're promising us...
no subject
TBH, this plus Bo kicking ass is more than enough to keep me watching. Lost Girl can be a guilty pleasure as long as it keeps bringing the gay, kick-ass and girl!friendship/
they want to push the Dyson/Bo line which I'm guessing will end up being the favoured pairing (we cant expect them to be too foreword thinking lol).
Ugh, yes. It does not bode well for a Bo/Lauren OTP that Dyson is a regular cast member and Lauren is not.

OH, I know. That whole plot line enraged me.
