I don't even ... but it was so good!

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!

HOLY SHIT!!

I was watching this episode and I honestly was like what the fuck is going on? When did Bo become so badass, I have to say though the scene between Lauren and Bo was one of the hottest things I have ever seen and it sucks that it ended the way it did. Plus Lauren was no where to be seen in the previews for next week. I have to see it again cause I don't think i caught everything, it was sooo good!

[karatam.livejournal.com]

I NEED A DOWNLOAD OF THIS EPISODE RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

[spanishtvjunkie.livejournal.com]

I'm taking your advice and not reading your spoilers. I will come back to squee with you( if that's the nature of the episode which I soo hope it is!!!!)after I get a chance to watch it!!! *runs off crazy with anticipation*

[evilmojojojo.livejournal.com]

Wow, this ep was intense, I'm litterally blown away. I feel bad for lauren, though her and Bo was hot!! Hope the show works to repair the damage it just created between the two of them. I liked Dyson a bit in this ep, he wasn't bad. What's the deal with Trick, i seriously want to know what he's up to. I actually wonder how Bo's going to react when she finds out that both Dyson and Trick were lying to her about her parents. All in all, crazy good ep and now i'm dying to see next week's. Hope Lauren is in it, but she wasn't in the previews.

[ishfeeny.livejournal.com]

Need. Download link. NAOW OMFG.

[noangel2046.livejournal.com]

ZOMG!!!!!!GIRL,I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!I WANNA SEE THEM DOING IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ME SO GLAD IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!Last week was unbearable for me~

[evilmojojojo.livejournal.com]

It was insanely hot!! All I can say.

Re: HOLY SHIT!!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I honestly was like what the fuck is going on? When did Bo become so badass

I know! It's like the show did snorted some lines, got drunk and drank a whole pack of red bull. I didn't know what the hell was happening, but I LOVED IT! And yes, Bo has never been as badass and hot as she was in this episode.

I have to say though the scene between Lauren and Bo was one of the hottest things I have ever seen and it sucks that it ended the way it did.

I know, right! It was BEAUTIFUL! And that moment when Bo ripped the necklace off of her, really just made me swoon. Bo was actually super romantic in regards to Lauren the whole episode, and the tenderness of their love-making especially compared to her earlier encounter with Dyson made my heart all gooey. And the little peck on the lips when she was getting dressed. And then the way it ended ... gah. I wanted to hug Bo forever. And Lauren too. It was just so all around brutal.

I think Lauren will be in the next episode because I've heard numerous times that Zoie Palmer is in all of the remaining episodes. I'm thinking they didn't feature any clips with her because whatever goes on between her and Bo next week is going to be intense.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT AND WATCH IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! IT IS INTENSE!

[spanishtvjunkie.livejournal.com]

Still no link...resolve is cracking...can't hold out...much...longer

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I will come back to squee with you( if that's the nature of the episode which I soo hope it is!!!!)

It's all over the place. There will be moments where you're squeeing so loud you're afraid the neighbors will call the cops, and then you will be freaking out with anxiousness and disbelieve as well.

It is a roller-coaster ride of OMG!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

It was so intense. I was like freaking out through the whole thing from the first scene.

I feel really bad for Lauren (and I feel really bad for Bo as well). And their scenes together were really hot, and of course the sex scene and the kissing before it was AMAZING! It was so tender!

I don't know what the show is going to do to start rebuilding that bridge, but they better fucking rebuild it, because Bo and Lauren are glorious together. Also, Dyson is a big fucking liar as well, and he's not in as vulnerable a position as Lauren is.

I'm hoping they just didn't show Lauren in the previews because the scenes between Lauren and Bo are gonna be so intense they don't want to give anything away. I don't think that Lauren was in the preview for this weeks episode either and we know how THAT turned out!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I will post one as soon as I find one. Everyone needs to see this episode as immediately as possible!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

When you see it, it will be all that you were hoping for and more. It was really a very erotic and beautifully, beautifully filmed scene. Just remember this episode is INTENSE so things will get INTENSE between Bo and Lauren as well.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

If you can hold out you won't regret it. But honestly, my squeeing is so spastic and has next to no context so there should still be plenty of surprises. If you can hold out, do it though. The episode was really crazy awesome.

[rtms.livejournal.com]

I hate what they have done now with Lauren. My only hope will be that Dyson's secret also really pisses off Bo and she's mad at both of them because now it just looks like a ratings ploy and she'll be off with Dyson for the rest of the series.

Not to mention what was with the makeup this ep? Anna Silk looked way off, like she got nipped, tucked and sandpapered down. She really looked weird which was throwing me off all episode. Maybe it was the way they shot it but BO looked terrible the whole time.

[kennedyismyhero.livejournal.com]

I, like apparently many others, MUST HAVE THIS EPISODE NOW...thanks to your preview. Ugh. I've been looking forward to this all week and I need my Lost Girl fix ASAP. *dances impatiently waiting for the link and desperately resists the temptation to read your episode breakdown above*

[evilmojojojo.livejournal.com]

I know, I really hope that they give Lauren the chance to explain to Bo why she did what she did. As bad as this sounds, I'm actually kind of happy Bo got as angry as she did, because this totally means that Bo has feelings for Lauren and she would only be that mad unless she had feelings for Lauren.

Dyson is a jerk and I want so bad for Bo to find out he's a liar. I was cool with Dyson in the first ep but ever since he's been a pain I could live without.

This episode though, had me warped, I seriously was going out of my mind, like it just didn't make sense to me where this ep cam from but whoever wrote it, is a genius, it was mad intense. They have to rebuild Lauren and Bo's relationship because it to me is a million times better than the one she shares with Dyson. OMG, their love scene literally made my night, i could just watch that and be happy for the rest of my life. I'm dying for next week already.

[evilmojojojo.livejournal.com]

I agree, they did Lauren wrong and this was their attempt to kill the love triangle so she would choose Dyson then that would really suck. I hope so to, but I don't want her to be as mad, because then that would mean she really was feeling dyson and that he actually had power to hurt her. Plus, Bo was just raw in this ep, i agree though she was not at her normal hotness.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

They really did set up quite an obstacle for Lauren and Bo to overcome this episode. Especially because Bo was so emotionally open with her, with wanting to wait and the parallel between her and Lauren and Death Row Lady and her husband.

I think Bo's gotta find out about Dyson's lying soon (maybe next episode if the previews aren't completely misleading which they might be). And the fact that we KNOW Dyson has been lying to her about something as major as knowing who her mother is definitely sets up a future where Bo is beyond majorly pissed at him.

now it just looks like a ratings ploy and she'll be off with Dyson for the rest of the series.

I don't think that's likely to happen with this show. I might love how every element of the show is coming together, but the show runner seems to have a solid head on her shoulders and has talked about Bo's bisexuality not just being for sweeps in the past, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

In my stupidly optimistic head, I'm clinging to the Bo/Lauren anvils that were laid this episode, and hoping that Lauren is really ultimately being being set up as Bo's OTP.

The make-up for Anna was really different this episode. I think they were purposefully trying to make Bo look rundown to show how stressed she has been. But I actually liked the minimalistic look (when Bo wasn't covered in blood).

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

This episode was definitely worth the wait. It HURTS but it's so good.

Stay strong, I think the episode will pay off so much more if you go into it not knowing any details. I loved being all "What? WHAT? WHAAAT????" throughout the whole thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you so very very much for alerting many of us to the existance of this show!! Now to try frantically to find a download link...
Also.. I think I read somewhere that episode 8 was the first one to be shot? (I could be wrong though)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Lauren is going to have an uphill battle to fight, but what I appreciate about this show is that I know there will be a fight. I appreciated that the show didn't make Lauren 'evil', she was just a woman in a hard place who made a really, really bad decision (which she owned up to unlike some people *cough*DYSON*cough*)

And yeah, as bad as I feel for Bo, I did like how emotionally invested in Lauren she was this episode. Bo the succubus of all people wanting to wait was incredibly romantic, as was her worrying about being able to possibly have a future with Lauren. Not to mention this was the first time on the show that Bo's actually make love to someone as opposed to just having sex with them. This episode really made me feel the shippiness and want a Bo/Lauren end game more than I have before. There's some real star-crossed, Romeo and Juliet-esque energy between them.

Dyson is a jerk and I want so bad for Bo to find out he's a liar. I was cool with Dyson in the first ep but ever since he's been a pain I could live without.

Dyson really is a jerk. He's so condescending and judgmental for a for a guy who has been constantly lying to Bo. Also, the fact that he never explained to Bo that Lauren was essentially the Ash's pet/slave when he was trying to make Bo weary of her shows his assholery as well. I mean, the only reason I can see him not mentioning it (because it would have been a much more convincing argument than 'just don't' which is basically all he used) is because he figured that it might make Bo and Lauren closer. He might have thought that it would make Bo sympathetic to Lauren, and maybe even make Bo want to protect Lauren if she knew that Lauren was basically an indentured slave.

And yeah, I don't know where this episode came from, but I loved it and I hope they give this writer tons more episodes to write because whoever it was nailed it. The tone, pacing, the writing, the acting, everything was awesome this episode.

And they totally have to rebuild Lauren and Bo's relationship. With Dyson's lie still hanging in the balance it's far too early too call sides. But I have to agree that the Bo/Lauren relationship is much more fulfilling and full of chemistry than Bo/Dyson. And I hope that the Bo/Lauren anvils this episode are really anvils for a Bo/Lauren end game.

And yes, I too need it to be next Sunday already! I need to see the inevitable Bo/Lauren first post-doing it scene together!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

It was my pleasure. I would have hated to be squeeing about this show alone. Also, as a Canadian it is my civic duty to pimp out Canadian programming!

If this was the first episode shot, the actor's must have been like "holy hell, am I going to survive filming this show" cause this episode was INTENSE. Also, if Zoie and Anna's chemistry was this good from the get go, I can't wait to see what they're capable of once they've gotten used to working together. Cause, well, when you see the episode you'll understand.

All I can say is that I hope this episode is an indication of the quality of the episodes to come.

[evilmojojojo.livejournal.com]

Of course Lauren is going to have to work hard to get Bo back, but what relationship is worth having unless it can survive downfalls like this. I am also glad she is not evil, because last weeks episode was giving me this vibe that would have made me pissed if the show ended with Lauren just trying to use and betray Bo. I totally get the romantic vibe from Bo and Lauren and more a physical vibe from Bo and Dyson, the way the love scenes went down were so different so i defs agree, it was the first time Bo made love as opposed to just geting in someone's pants for the heck of it.

Ugh, Dyson, can't we find him a stick and toss it off a cliff hoping he'll follow it. I just want everything to blow up in his face. The only down fall to that is the Trick more than likely will go down with him. I like Trick so it'll be sad to see Bo get pissed at him as well.

The rest of this season should belong to this writer. For me it was the best episode, because of all the twist and turns, the actors were invested completely. Like i was on the edge of my seat trying to get closer, praying i could get sucked into the show. I picked Lauren side from the first ep so i am praying that the writers have done the same. It's over done in every other show that the main girl gets with the main guy, so i hope they stick through and end it with Bo and Lauren, with Kenzi and Hale in the back of a convertible riding off into the sunset. Bo and Lauren have more chemistry just looking at each other than all the of the sex scenes between Dyson and Bo.

I wish i could just wake up tomorrow and have it be sunday, i am so anxious to see where they go with Bo and Lauren now that they've been together. Bo is gonna give her shit for it, but hopefully she'll give Lauren the chance to explain everything, plus i really want to know how Lauren became so close to the Ash, like how did she get involved in the fae world in the first place.
