Yay *flails* It's time! It's time!

Friends, I am sorry to report that there is no Dr. Hot Pants in 1x09 "Fae Day" (<- download).

It is a very entertaining episode however, and for the Kenzi fans out there she gets a lot of positive face time.

Bo practicing with a sword is hot ... even though she looks like she's about to head out to yoga class.

Bo:  I really need a break from the Fae and their shit.
[Bo and Kenzi show up at Tricks for one drink - only we all know it's never really one drink]
Kenzi: And cue the Fae and their shit.

Aw, Bo needs a Fae-cation, lol.  Sounds cool, typed out it looks like something completely different.

Banshee's are such party-poopers!

Nice to know that Bo has been freezing Dyson out over his shit.  It also seems as if Bo never told Kenzi what happened between herself and Lauren.  Can't blame her there really.  Kenzi, we love her, but she's not exactly tactful or known to drop things no matter how much someone asks.

Kenzi:  You go.  This food isn't going to eat itself!  LOL

Dyson:  Bo, read a book.
OMG DYSON!  WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN ASS!?!?!

Seriously show, do not have Dyson talk about his super-special feelings for Bo and then have him be a complete asshat for no reason.  It does not add tension to their relationship, it just makes me want to punch him repeatedly in the face until he dies.  Dear Lost Girl, stop trying to wooby-fy this guy!  But if you are incapable of doing that at least do it right and not have him act like a class-A douche most of the time.  *appreciates the Legend of the Seeker writers and deftness with which they handled their characters even more - and I already appreciated it plenty!*

Aw, Kenzi's met someone as tactless as her.  I hope they make out.

Projectile vomit?  Really Lost Girl?  Really?  What's next?  Fart jokes?  It felt like I was watching an episode of Merlin for a minute there. 

Guy to Kenzi:  Joking about accounting fraud is like joking about a bomb on a plane
LOL,  heh.  Maybe not a match made in Fae heaven after all.

And ... saw the Sean reveal coming a mile away.

Based on how douchey Sean's Dark Fae brother was, I'm thinking Dyson chose the wrong side.  He'd fit right in with that asshole.

Kenzi:  Fancied?  Oh my god.
LOL.  Ksenia, you slay me.

Sean:  You're very odd and special. 
That's a pretty damn good description of Kenzi.

Kenzi:  Oh yeah.  Sounds like a disaster.
It's all in the delivery (and Bo's smirk)

It's 9:30 and there's been NO LAUREN AT ALL!  SO SAD! SO VERY VERY SAD!

You know, I think that if Kenzi met Parker from Leverage that they would be BFFs.

Day time drinking, Dyson?  You get more charming every time you're on-screen.

Aw, I hope Sean doesn't actually die.  I like him.

Bo talking about how much she trusts Dyson.  Nice anvil dropping show.  I mean that.  Bo is going to lose her shit when she finds out that he's been lying to her.

Nice parting line Kenzi.  Sean's dad was a clot-pole.

LOL Bo.  "I read it in Trick's book!"  Too bad you didn't read the whole thing, smarty pants.

Speaking of pants, it's 9:40 and there's still no Dr. Hot Pants!  So very, very, very, very sad. 

I wonder if those circles were already carved into Trick's floor, or if defacing his property was one other favor Bo asked for.  Bo is such a high maintainance friend.  For real. 

"Great!  Then, smoke 'em if you got 'em!"  LOL.  Very professional Bo.

Bo:  Gee, thanks.

Bo and Kenzi, you two are adorable.

Well, show you legit managed to surprise me with that alley scene.

Bo/Kenzi snuggles ... both tender and heartbreaking.

So Trick has magic blood?  Interesting.

As for Dyson conflictedness ... no1curr!  Okay, I'm sure some people do care, but I'm not one of them.  Dyson is totally Trick's bitch and lies constantly, and I don't like that he's given all of this screen time to make the audience sympathize with him, while Lauren who is vulnerable and victimized in a way that Dyson isn't, doesn't get the same treatment.  Dyson needs a sassy gay best friend to tell him



Because wolf-boy doesn't have to lie.  Trick isn't going to kill Dyson if he tells Bo the truth.  Trick doesn't own Dyson.  If Dyson tells Bo the truth, you know what will happen ... Bo will know the truth and Trick might act a little bitchy.  That's it.  So why does this Trick's boy get all of the sympathy and benefit of the doubt, when the human slave who faces actual consequences for disobedience (as opposed to losing surrogate daddies love) gets shat on left, right and center.

Psst, show.  You can't have an effective love triangle when 90% of the screen-time is devoted to one pairing,  Your bias is showing and it pisses me off. 

Preview for next week:

What everyone is the most interested in:  There was a shot of Dr. Lauren in the preview for next week, talking to Bo no less.  But there was only the one shot of her so I'm not sure how large a role she'll have.  One would hope that Bo and Lauren would have to talk about what happened between them in "Vexed" but with this show who the hell knows.  Lauren's curly-ish hair is back though, so that's something.  I liked her curly-ish pilot hair.

Plot: Next week however, there is another succubus in town and it seems like she'll make trying to mack all over Bo.  It also seems like maybe this succubus knows how to bring people back from the dead, which would be a pretty cool power for Bo to develop.  It'll heal something in my heart to be able to type the breath of life again.  Bo will still only have a fraction of Cara's bad-assness, but having the breath of life will be a step in the right direction.

It's seemed pretty obvious that Bo has only started to scratch the surface of what she can do as a succubus, so a Bo Goes to Succubus School episode seems like it should be pretty fun.

Also, the other succubus is a hottie, and the perv in me kind of wants to see Bo being topped.

Dammit! Okay that's another one for the 'might as well wait' pile. Thanks for the heads-up.

The lack of Lauren is really hampering the show and the supposed love-triangle (obviously not an equilateral one) and fuelling my dislike of Dyson; hell, I don't even need to watch the episode to know he'll piss me off.

I'd kinda like to see succubus number two make a play for Dr. Hot Pants and see if it stirs a reaction in Bo but I guess that's too much to ask.

There is no 'love triangle' on this show. There's Bo/Dyson, and then that Doctor that has a crush on Bo who Bo talks to sometimes when she needs something. The show is so Bo/Dyson heavy that its laughable to think that the show actually expects us to believe there is a love triangle. The only episode where Bo/Lauren has seemed like a real possibility was the discarded demo episode which they retooled the shit out of, and clearly in the retooling any real interest in Bo/Lauren went as well.

I was willing to give the show the benefit of the doubt, but not addressing the Bo/Lauren situation after how things went down last episode just really makes it impossible to ignore the fact the show doesn't seem to care about showing Bo/Lauren. I mean half of the 'development' of Bo/Lauren has been off-screen.

So, yeah, I understand Dyson pissing you off because of the amount of screen time he gets. He pisses me off for the same reason (well, that and the fact that he often acts like an asshole).

I'd kinda like to see succubus number two make a play for Dr. Hot Pants and see if it stirs a reaction in Bo but I guess that's too much to ask.

I would LOVE that. However, it would require the show giving a shit about Lauren and/or Bo/Lauren which means it'll never happen. I don't even have enough faith in the show right now to believe that they'll have Bo and Lauren talk about what happened in "Vexed".
