Lost Girl - 1x05 - I'm mad at this show so I don't even care what the title was

[fembuck]

I've always thought it's better to just rip the band-aid off instead of slowly and painfully peeling it back so here goes ...

There is no Dr. Lauren in this weeks episode.

There.  I've said it.  Now, If you are not too heartbroken to continue, then click the link.

Real-time Thoughts:

Ugh, can be plz, pretty please with a cherry on top, STOP starting the episodes with Bo/Dyson 'friends with benefits' scenes?  It reminds me of the lack of Bo/Lauren scenes and then I start watching the episodes in a bad mood.

I could watch Bo kick people in the nuts all night.

Oh my god, the actress playing Psychic!Niece is AWFUL!  Just awful.  That cringe inducing.

LOL at the soft-lighting to make Anna Silk look 17.

"I'm Stupid" post-it-note win!  Luv you Kenzi.  Bonus points for snapping rubber-bands at him.

9:20 and still no Lauren.  DAMN THIS SHOW!  WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO ME??? THE LACK OF LAUREN IS BECOMING MALICIOUS!!!

Oooh, I'm sensing a set up for some Kenzi/Hale.  That banter seemed a flirty.

The corpse dance-routine was pretty amusing, but that body-jumper guy is creepy.

LOL at Bo and Kenzi's "Slut Struts"

Perv:  Kenzi looks really good in that ginger wig.  Her eyes, damn they're almost as impressive as Bo's succubus eyes only Ksenia's aren't special effects!

Random thought:  Bo would make an excellent spy because she'll make-out convincingly with anyone.

LOL at Mr. Freeze being all "sort of want" when Bo was doing her seduction thang.  It's interesting to know that Bo hasn't come fully into her succubus powers yet and could become far more powerful.

The Bo/Kenzi tag team is AWESOME!  But lol at Bo looking like she'd fallen into an ice-cream coma.

Hale and Kenzi sitting around trying to make conversation while listening to the Bo/Dyson sexlympics was pretty funny.  Also, the writers are totally gonna go for  a Hale/Kenzi hook-up at some point.

OMG THIS STUPID SHOW!  9:45 AND STILL NO LAUREN!

I AM WEEPING.  I WAS HOLDING OUT HOPE BUT I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE NO LAUREN THIS EPISODE.

Thanks show, now I want a spring-roll.

Relevant information!

The preview for next week showed a shit ton of Lauren.  So, yay.  That being said I've about had it with these Lauren bogarting bitches!   They better never take her away from me for so long ever again!

Why will there be a shit ton of Lauren next week?

Well, it seems that Lauren and Bo go on a mission together to cure Kenzi of a fae disease she got eating soup (yeah, that's right. Eating soup). 

Other preview shots of interest

There was a brief shot of Lauren/Bo handholding on a couch in Lauren's house (Lauren's wearing a pink sweater!  I don't know why this amuses and charms me, but it does!). 

There's a nice little sequence of Lauren fiddling around with needles in her sexy lab coat, with a Lauren voice-over to match where she was using sexy doctor speak.

And finally there were a couple action-y shots of Bo and Lauren.


Ouotables:

Bo:  Sorry about your ... *guns pulled on her* ... nuts.

Kenzi:  You know we get paid in real people money, right?

Old Guy:  I can give you ten minutes alone with my niece.
Bo:  Ooh, tempting.  She cute.

Kenzi:  *awkwardly concerned tone* So uh, when did he ... bite it?

Old Guy:  Are you picking?  Were you born in a barn?

Stay strong flist!  Let's just close our eyes and think of next week!  It'll be okay.  We can do it!

I am still desperately clutching to the BTS video on Entertainment Tonight Canada. I am hoping that the back half of the season is completely Lauren filled.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I know we will see on-screen Bo/Lauren, I am just getting very impatient waiting for it. I'm with you, the back half of the season better be Lauren heavy and Dyson lite. I'm Bo/Dyson'd out at this point.

*sighs cause I know Dyson will still get a buttload of screen time since Kris Holden-Reid is a regular and Zoie Palmer isn't (yet)*

[silentdark.livejournal.com]

Well, now I'm kind of disappointed. No Lauren, makes me sad.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

No Lauren is defintely very sad-making.

*approves of your icons furious rage*

[telepresence.livejournal.com]

Boo! I am full of boo!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I know right!

This

is how I feel about this episode's appalling lack of Dr. Lauren

[crys-22.livejournal.com]

On one hand I'm glad I won't have to stay up late hoping a link for the episode will pop up somewhere and then on the other.......

[orange-creative.livejournal.com]

THIS IS RELEVANT TO HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

God, that .gif is so perfect.

That is the moment I fell madly in love with Cara (and Tab) and it so totally expresses how I felt when I realized there would be no Lauren in the episode.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

There is no Dr. Lauren in this weeks episode.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

LOL! I love the rage over the lack of Lauren. I totally heart this .gif and it's ability to visually express my (and so many others) feelings. The show-runners better watch their backs!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Tis a good gif, but I think it might be missing something...

[noangel2046.livejournal.com]

oh,no!!!!!!!!no Lauren again????!!!!srsly!!!i've been waiting like forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and i need ep 06 like now!!!!!!!!!!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

IKR! After last weeks repeat, having no Lauren in this episode was a real kick in the pants.

Episode 6 and it's shit ton of Lauren cannot come fast enough!

[shalex2885.livejournal.com]

There is no Dr. Lauren in this weeks episode.

BOO HOO SHOW! they made us wait 2 weeks for NOTHING?!!

next week episode better has a shit ton of Lauren or I'm gonna have to cut a bitch!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

they made us wait 2 weeks for NOTHING?!!

*sigh* I know. It's like there was new episodage, but without Lauren it all feels so meaningless. I like the show, but I LOVE Lauren. Episodes feel incomplete without her.

Also, A+ .gif

[orange-creative.livejournal.com]

Only gifs can really convey how we're all feeling.


Lost Girl, you are so not getting any tonight. You should feel bad.

[crys-22.livejournal.com]

Yeah way to go Lost Girl for making us wait this long and not give us any Lauren. Whatever.



Hopefully next week we will get to use our nicer gifs.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm so glad we're cutting Lost Girl off tonight. Like Satan Santana, Lost Girl had it coming.

Honestly, I don't know how the show could do this to us and look itself in the mirror in the morning.

[orange-creative.livejournal.com]

I might feel better if... say, in the next five episodes, Dyson gets barely nine minutes of screentime and two of those episodes open with Lauren and Bo in bed together.

[trancer21.livejournal.com]

There is no Dr. Lauren in this weeks episode.

Wellllll.. fuck a duck. Like someone else said, at least I won't be spending the night checking torrents every half hour! And I'm also glad I didn't check into a hotel next to the border in hopes that they had Showcase. I am not joking. After last episode's 'wait for fucking FOREVER for that shit to show up on torrents' I was seriously thinking about driving to Vancouver so I could watch the damn show! (And, you know, stalk Anna Torv.. but that's between me and my lawyers!)

Maybe this will make up for the lack of Lauren - Nine Questions With Showrunner Michelle Lovretta. Here's my favorite quote:

"One of the dynamics I enjoy exploring most in Lost Girl is just that of female friendship. I get a little tired of the portrayals of shallow, catty, competitive girlfriends, the type who ditch one another when anything with a functioning penis walks in the room. That just hasn’t been my experience. I’m not those girls, I don’t like those girls, and I’d sooner not spend an entire season writing them."

I think I might have a new girlcrush!

[spanishtvjunkie.livejournal.com]

I read the interview and love this show ten times more now already. She's a "shipper", so you know she knows we ships our Bo/Lauren hard. I think all we have to do is ... wait ... aarrrggghh! *headdesk*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

And, you know, stalk Anna Torv..

This is completely reasonable and I can't see what sort of monster would think otherwise. It is Anna. Torv. ANNA TORV.

I read that interview a few weeks ago, and it really made me feel a lot better about where things were going, which is why I'm not as upset/pessimistic about the lack of Lauren as I might have been before. The show runner sounds remarkably sensible. Plus, with it being a Canadian show, she'll likely be able to do exactly what she wants with the show which will negate a lot of the fuckery that has crippled promising storylines on other shows.

Lovretta FTW!

[dustyrebellion.livejournal.com]

This hurts me.

Damn it Lost Girl! I love you but give me Lauren!
brb, crying until next week.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I know bb, but next week it will get better.

The show just better never take her away for this long again!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

No problem. I just didn't want people to be in for the same heartbreak I suffered.

All I can say, is that next week better have some pretty epic Bo/Lauren scenes in order to make this up to us (but from the previews I have to say it looks like it will, so I'm appeased ... for now)

[khase-fan09.livejournal.com]

I need to watch this episode, but it's really pissing me off that there's no Lauren. Boo, show. Just... boooooo.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

The lack of Lauren is truly infuriating. She's the factor that makes an episode go from "aiight" to "awesome" for me. Without Lauren the episodes just don't feel quite right.

Needless to say, I am counting down to next week and the shit ton of Lauren promised.

[julie-chaos-09.livejournal.com]

UGH!!!! The fact that there was no lauren is still upsetting me:(. anyone know where i can see the promo for next weeks episode?

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I know, I think about it and I just want to ...



I don't know where you can view the promo, but I can promise you that it had a whole buncha Lauren in it.

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

aww no Lauren, but I still liked this episode. mainly because I was distracted by Anna Silk in that blue dress (just: ASFDGFGJHKJLKFJ) Kenzi/Hale are going to be adorable, and I want more scenes of Kenzi shooting rubber bands at Mr One-Quarter Leprechaun.

HANDHOLDING IN THE NEXT EP? :D

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

The episode was good, the lack of Lauren just meant that I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have if there was even one scene of Lauren.

I think Kenzi/Hale will be fun and cute, and a nice counteract to the Bo/Lauren/Dyson angst parade.

And I totally approve of more scenes of Kenzi shooting Dyson with rubber-bands and accosting him with other non-lethal weapons. I don't hate Dyson, but he's really hogging up too much screen time and so Kenzi hatin' on him makes me feel better.

Hand-holding on a couch!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_profiterole_/]

Not only is there no Dr Lauren but there's no femslash. Why do I feel that threesome last time will be the peak of the show? Good shows always start failing me after episode 4... >_>

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't give up on the show/Bo-Lauren happening yet. Unlike other shows I'm 100% sure this show will go there, they're just taking their sweet time with it. Which is irritating, but considering that most other shows just tease and don't deliver, I won't complain too much. I am anxious though.

But, it seems like Bo/Lauren will start to move forward next week, so hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_profiterole_/]

Canons that never deliver are indeed annoying.

[jello-o.livejournal.com]

Soup? Really? I guess I'll take whatever excuse it takes to get Lauren and Bo sharing the screen again.
The Hale/Kenzi is definitely going to happen. No one sits around, listening to two friends get it on unless the company is good.
When Dyson asked if Kenzi was on his team again, and they had t-shirts, I expected her to say she was Team Lauren.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I kid you not. She really gets deathly ill from drinking soup. Obviously it's evil soup, lol. But still.

No one sits around, listening to two friends get it on unless the company is good.

Heh! Even with good company I wouldn't have sat around listening to that. Considering how much Kenzi sits around listening to Bo do it, I'd love in a future episode if she could like call what was going on behind the door based on the sounds Bo was making, lol. Kenzi's gotta be an expert on her sex noises by now!

I was hoping Kenzi would say Team Lauren as well! *sigh* Maybe soon ...

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, the actress playing Psychic!Niece is AWFUL! Just awful. That cringe inducing.

Well, she did give us this...

[karatam.livejournal.com]

Can you possibly point me towards the promo for next week? I can't seem to find it.

Also, I just watched all the episodes today...

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I don't know where you can view the promo online. When the episodes air here in Canada the promos just come on right after, but the lovely people that are uploading the eps. to the interweb never include the promos with the eps.

How are you enjoying the show so far?

[karatam.livejournal.com]

That's too bad.

I'm loving it so far. Bo is charming as hell, Kenzie is hilarious and I like Dyson most of the time (aka when he's not being emo). I like that Lauren is very soft-spoken and I love her.

Also, I approve that Bo just likes sex, no matter what the gender seems to be :)

[theagonyofblank.livejournal.com]

Just catching up on this show, but just wanted to say I really like your recaps... and also: Bo is supposed to be 17?!?!?!?!? She looks much, much older. Also, I thought the actress playing the Oracle was hilarious. XD.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, Bo's not supposed to be 17. They showed a flashback to when Bo's succubus powers first revealed themselves when she was 17. The show just had Anna Silk playing Bo in the flashback instead of hiring someone who actually 17 for it. They haven't said how old Bo is but I'm guessing at least late 20s.

[theagonyofblank.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. I don't know how I miss these details. XD. But thanks for the clarification! That makes a lot more sense, as she definitely looks like she's in her mid to late 20s. (It also makes sense in terms of the company she keeps - like Dyson, Lauren... all of whom are older).
