Lost Girl - 1x08 - "Vexed" is INSANE! 

You guys, this episode of Lost Girl was so surreal.  It's like, since the pilot there's been the actual Lost Girl and then in my mind there's been the 'Lost Girl that 'could be'.  This episode was like the Lost Girl that could be.  But it was so weird to watch because there was like no hint from the previous episodes that it was going get good like this!  CAUSE OMG THIS EPISODE. 

I've put all of my live-action reactions to the episode behind the cut as usual, but I almost want to tell you not to read it so that you can experience this ... whatever this was of an episode fresh.

Best music video opening sequence goes to Lost Girl.  It was like George Micheal's "Freedom" video up in there ya'll.  I kept on expecting to see Christie Turlington in a bathtub.  But as much as I complain about Dyson, and the over-abundance of Bo/Dyson sex scenes, I have to say this one can stay, because even though it was kind of creepy, it was also pretty hot.  Also, Lost Girl now officially features ass!

Dyson:  She's just using you.  She'll never love you.
Bo:  Who said anything about love.  And you don't know that.
Me:  Ooo ... oh.

I don't quite understand Dyson's constant complaints that Lauren is using Bo currently though, since Lauren and Bo haven't so much as kissed.  I wonder if Bo's been letting him think that she and Lauren are doing a lot more in the lab together than they are.

Dr. Hot Pants.  Hey, Kenzi we can be friends again.

Um, I kind of really like Bo when she's being a violent asshole.  In fact I like her to a worrying degree. The show definitely needs to keep Anna Silk in minimal make-out because run-down Bo was all kinds of hot.  Seriously.  Bo is coming apart at the seams in this episode, but she's never been this hot to me - not even in the pilot which was when I previously thought Bo was at her hottest.

"I like your necklace."  Nice, Bo.  I think what you really meant to say was, "Heh, I touched your boob."

Ugh, screw you poorly planned season.  This conversation with Bo and Lauren - sexy and flirty as it is - and it is, seems like it should have happened in an earlier episode, because considering how long they've been working together on Bo's control it makes no sense that Lauren wasn't already aware of Bo's arrangement with Dyson.  UGH!  Writers I see you trying to shove information in there that should have been revealed in those Dr. Lauren-free episodes from earlier in the season.

Lauren:  *upon finding out about Bo's healing arrangement with Dyson*  As your doctor I'd just prefer if you choose someone ... slightly less well-traveled.
Me:  Heh.

UGH, what is it about this episode?  I actually really like this episode and the tone of it, but it's coming out of nowhere!  Bo's so intense and angry and hot but there's been like NO build up to it whatsoever.  Last week it was all awkward dates and fun with spiders, and now all of a sudden Bo is super-super-duper-duper about finding out who her mother was right this frakking minute goddammit I will cut it out of you! 

Also, Bo and Dyson are barely even frenemies  currently but it's come out of nowhwere.  I mean, I know last week there was the Dyson/Lauren pissing contest over Bo and Dyson making his big 'No healing for you' pronouncement, but I still didn't expect that there would be THIS level of animosity between them.  It's like I'm watching another show, an intense, dark, sexy show.  I like.  I like.

Fussy!Lauren is CUTE!  She is precious when she's worrying about Bo's big-mouth getting her in trouble.

"Still so charming."  Heh.  Ash I've been sarcastically thinking the same thing about Bo for a while.

"I'm not finished yet!"  OH BO!  WHY ARE YOU SO SEXY WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY, BLOODY, AND VENGEFUL?

"Smells like fried bitch!"  OH KENZI!

OMG!  BO is such a MEGA-bitch this episode.  It's like she's on PMS steriods.  It's awesome. 

So that conversation with the Ash and Lauren was interesting:
1)  I'm glad it's established here that Lauren has been completely on the up and up so far with what's she's told Bo and in terms of trying to help her.
2)  I don't like that the Ash is tryin' to pimp Lauren out.

So that conversation between Bo and Trick was interesting:
1)  I don't like that the Ash "owns" Lauren.  It does make me wonder what she did or who she pissed off enough that apparently she had to sell herself to the Ash for protection.  It does explain why she is so twitchy around him, and why Dyson is concerned about her loyalty.  As a human Lauren is obstensibly tied to the Ash more than a fae would be.

*cries*  I so don't like where I see this going ...

"At a certain point it's not about losing control anymore, it's about taking it" - interesting words Trick.

OMG!  BO HAS A WITCHBLADE!!!!

I like that Bo has a real reason for fighting for this woman so hard, and that it's all about her big emotional love for Lauren.  "And who would want to live it with me?"  OMG BO I WANT TO HUG YOU.

KISS FINALLY OMG KISS KISS KISS KISS!  MORE KISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EVEN MORE KISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OMG THEY"RE DOING IT!  THEY"RE DOING IT!  IN A BED!  NAKED!  ROLLING IN A BED  \\NOBODY OWNS YOU!  SEXY!@ OMG!

POST-COITAL 'I"LL BE BACK SOON' KISSES SO CUTE!!!!  WHA....NO!  NOT SO SOON DON'T TAKE IT AWAY SO SOON!

OMG LAUREN TELL HER!  TELL HER!OMG OMG  TELLING HER IS NOT WORKING! OMG THIS HAS GONE SO TERRIBLY WRONG SO QUICKLY!  OMG!  THIS IS A CLUSTER FUCK!  THIS IS A CLUSTER-FUCKING CLUSTER -FUCK!

"I didn't do anything wrong?"  UM, LAUREN UR MY BB AND ALL, BUT THE FUCK YOU DIDN'T!?!?!?!  STILL I UNDERSTAND WHAT UR TRYIN TO SAY, BUT STILL ... DAMN LAUREN.

OH SHIT SHE'S GONNA GIVE HER THE NECKLACE BACK!  OH HELL SHE CALLED IT A DOG COLLAR!  OMG THIS EPISODE!  

BO'S CALLING IN THE DEBT!  

BO IS LIKE THE LOVECHILD OF NORIKO FROM 'HEAVENLY SWORD' AND WITCHBLADE!

THis episode you guys, I'm freaking out!!!!!!!!

CROSS-BOW!  Now she's channeling some Abigail Whistler.  BITCHIN'

OH LAUREN YOU'RE SHAKING AND YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART!

TRICK is Kaiser Soze?  WHAT?

I don't even remember what happens in the previews for next week.  I was too busy still freaking the hell out about this episode to really pay attention.  

As soon as you see this episode you need to comment here because this episode has messed with my head and my heart and I need to ramble in caplocks with others about it!

It was absolute torture having to wait for this episode and not spoil myself by reading your journal. Thankfully I've finally watched the episode and my mind is blown!

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I feel like this episode was filmed out of order. It looked like Anna's hair was slightly shorter (which I liked). She looked a lot like when I first saw her making out with another pretty lady in Being Erica *yum*. Even Ksenia was working her curly, blonde hair.

Anna really brought it in this episode. I wasn't cringing over her acting this time around. So it's nice to know when the writing is good, Anna can deliver. And she looked so damn good!

Lauren just got so much more interesting. We have like what 5 more episodes left of the season? I seriously hope she makes it and that they make her a regular in season 2 because I want to know Lauren's story dammit. I mean we know she's a smart woman. So it can't just be that she's so insatiably curious that she would allow herself to be owned.

And I hope Bo isn't mad at Lauren for long. Hopefully Bo will just need some time to cool off so that she can realize that Lauren was just trying to keep her safe. It's not like Lauren has been keeping things a secret from the start, like someone else we know. And it is so damn obvious that Dyson knows more than he is letting on, but Bo never presses. Which makes her look so stupid.

I'm going to be keeping my fingers crossed that the rest of the season is a lot like this episode and not the previous ones.

This was actually some kind of demo pilot that had been shot for the network which is why things looked and felt a little different. It was the first thing they filmed.

Anna really brought it in this episode. I wasn't cringing over her acting this time around. So it's nice to know when the writing is good, Anna can deliver. And she looked so damn good!

Yeah, I thought she was good this episode and she's left me lackluster previously. She does really well with the dark, angsty material. Changing the tone of the show campier after filming this didn't help Anna out at all, because she's better with this sort of material it seems.

Lauren just got so much more interesting.

Word. I'm fascinated with her, and I'm definitely hoping that they make her a regular in season 2 as well. Honestly, Lauren is what has kept me watching the show and squeeing about it, so I'd like to see a lot more of her and learn a lot more about her.

And it is so damn obvious that Dyson knows more than he is letting on, but Bo never presses. Which makes her look so stupid.


I know. Bo acts like an idiot a lot of the time though, which is why it pisses me off that the one time Bo engages her brain and puts two and two together it ends in Lauren getting screwed over.
