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.

Great recap! Thanx a lot, a lot, a lot !!

Saperlipopette !
I'm not so sure I want to watch ep. 10. if it means I have to go through another Bo/Dyson tango for 45 mn. On the other hand, NO LAUREN may help me to mend my heart, broken since last week, and go back to real life for a little while.

*huge huge huge sigh*

Yet I'm not that surprised that DrLL was not to be seen. The only time the screenwriter managed to follow coherently the different storylines was in "Vexed". Otherwise, we had Dyson-focused ep. and Lauren-focused ep. Maybe next week will bring a good surprise. Or maybe I should stop believing in Santa Claus...

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.

You are so right.
That's the major problem from the start. I still can't understand why Zoie Palmer isn't cast as a regular. Her character is what the show needs, the perfect opposite and complement to Dyson, all the ingredients for good drama are there, sex and sweat all over the place but... NO, let's go back to the overused but soooo secure plot of 'girl-meets-boy". Moreover, one piece of this supposed love triangle is missing : the Lauren/Dyson segment. I still believe those 2 have a lot in common. Such a waste is infuriating!

To be honest, I don't understand how people could see Lauren as evil either.
+1.

Let's see :
- she gave Bo a treatment after the Succubus refused to pick a side ("it could be dangerous for me to even talk to you"),
- she saved Kensi,
- she had to endure Dyson shit while helping SAVE BO and Kensi from the terrrrrrifying cardboard spider,
- she got Bo an appointment with the Ash,
- she helped Bo controlling her anger (and was logically rewarded for this),
- she had sex with Bo without knowing if Bo could efficiently control her anger (in the heat of passion),

while Dyson ... had sex with Bo.

Let's be honest : he spends a lot of time helping Bo with her work, since she is the WORST PI EVER.

Oh, and Lauren is kind (or so it seems). It feels good to have someone who can talk to people without needing to be rude/mean/harsh/insulting. She's discreet, yet she's the most efficient. And each time Lauren/Zoie looks at Bo, the North Pole melts a little more (OK, I'm biaised)

What I'd *really* like to see, and while I'm still on Team Lauren, is a love interest for Bo who's Dark Fae

*threesome + A Darf Fae succubus = foursome? Lucky Bo*

If I may, I'm not so sure another love interest for Bo is the wiser thing to wish for our Succubus, since she already has GREAT difficulties to deal with the ones she has. I'm not even sure she will ever be able to "deal" at all. Everytime one of her lover doesn't act the way SHE wants (i.e : follows his own agenda/needs/motives), she goes to the other. She is sooo very capricious. I don't know if I'd be so willing to give my heart to such a non reliable lover. I know Bo's supposed to be young and have a lot to learn about relationships, but so far she might have sex and fall in love with whoever crosses her path.

On the other hand, NO LAUREN may help me to mend my heart, broken since last week, and go back to real life for a little while.

I feel this. Last week I was obsessing hardcore about the show. I was thinking about it WAY too much, but after this Lauren-less episode I'm back to awaiting the next episode, but not anxiously awaiting it.

Otherwise, we had Dyson-focused ep. and Lauren-focused ep.

The thing is that even in Lauren-heavy episodes, Dyson has still played a significant role. Whereas in a third of the episodes to date, Lauren has played NO role at all, or a very minimal role (in episode 2 she was on screen for like a minute). So we get plenty of Dyson even in 'Lauren' episodes, but like no significant Lauren for half of the episodes.

while Dyson ... had sex with Bo.

I know, right. When you look at what they've risked personally, Lauren has put far more on the line than Dyson. All Dyson does is fuck Bo and hit things (things he's stronger than so there's no real personal risk to him, while when Lauren was out in the field she had put herself in some real danger for Bo).

It feels good to have someone who can talk to people without needing to be rude/mean/harsh/insulting.

This. Lauren is the only character that has never acted like a douchebag/asshole. She has been consistently decent throughout, even in the face of baseless attacks (like Kenzi's every interaction with her).

And each time Lauren/Zoie looks at Bo, the North Pole melts a little more (OK, I'm biaised)

Biased, but right. Zoie Palmer brings the heat every time she looks at Bo. It's really incredible the longing she is able to project.

She is sooo very capricious. I don't know if I'd be so willing to give my heart to such a non reliable lover.

Bo really is very fickle. Honestly, despite Bo being the one to walk out last episode, Lauren really deserves better. Lauren is the only adult on this show, and Bo's been pretty douchey to her act points. Bo and Dyson are selfish and judgmental in the same way. They almost deserve each other. The thing is that Bo is still learning (whereas Dyson's pretty old and should know better) and Lauren could make Bo a better person, whereas Bo and Dyson just seem to make each other better assholes.

The thing is that even in Lauren-heavy episodes, Dyson has still played a significant role.

I know.
Honestly, I don't know what to think of all this. One day, my hopes are down because of the different treatment Lauren is given, the following day I can't help feeling Bo/Lauren could be the endgame because "vexed" was almost perfect. All the seeds are there, it cannot just be coincidence. And why victimize a character that much if it's without a purpose? Each Lauren-centered scene brings a new element and yet? ...As I said, I don't know what to think. And seriously, it's driving me crazy.

Lauren really deserves better.
The irony is that as a character, Lauren steals every scene and every ep. she appears in. Lauren is complex, secret, and multi-layered. And so likeable. Sensitive and strong. Where Dyson is merely written, and Bo... I sometimes feel the producers are only interested in having Anna Silk "Succubussing" in every corner.

Biased, but right. Zoie Palmer brings the heat every time she looks at Bo. It's really incredible the longing she is able to project.
I know.

She is really doing a great job at portraying Lauren. She's very subtle. Making us see and FEEL the longing, the desire, the internal struggle. The flirting in ep.4 is killing me (she gives its full meaning to the "eye-sex" thing). I didn't know her before "Lost girl" but I'm so impressed by her acting, that I went through "Instant star" where she plays Patsy. She's great, really.... ok, I stop...
