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.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOW'S WRITERS THAT LAUREN DOESN'T EVEN GET BROUGHT UP IN PASSING CONVERSATION

I know! It's like, I'm pretty sure that Bo being all stabby with the sword at the beginning and talking about how she couldn't sleep was supposed to be angst about Lauren, but honestly writers, THAT DOES NOT CUT IT! NOT BY A LONG SHOT! Especially since they had Bo being all fluffy and happy and quippy throughout the episode. She was not acting like someone heartbroken at all. We got to see Bo mopping in bed after Dyson did that barmaid, but for Lauren, not moping or follow through at all.

Seriously "Lost Girl" writers, if you had a face I would punch it!

They're treating Lauren like a recurring guest star instead of an important character.

This. I think when they made the demo they planned on having Lauren be a more central character (that demo is the only episode where we've seen Lauren interacting alone with someone besides Bo), but when they retooled they decided to downplay the character, and in doing so whether intentional or not they've downplayed Bo/Lauren's relationship.

He used to be bareable, now every time I see him I want to punch him in the face.

This. I'm never going to be able to see him as a non-asshat again. Even stuff that should amuse me (like him drinking from that flask on the stake-out with Bo) just irritate me.

[boomwizard.livejournal.com]

As soon as I saw that flask I wanted to shove it down his throat. If last weeks Hellcats taught us anything is that alcohol + stakeouts = epic badness. Nothing good can ever come from it.

Also, flasks are tacky. Everybody knows you're drinking, if you need a fancy container for it use a damn paper bag like the hobo you look like, Wolfman.

I saw Bo with all stabby in the beginning and was prepared to hunker down for another violent, mopey Bo episode. Instead we got fluffy Bo/Dyson shenanigans. I AM DISAPPOINT. These kind of relationships would interest me a lot more if they were Bro's. There is not enough het Bro's, ever, and even if there is they always end up ruining it by ~falling in wuv.

TV makes me so angry nowadays. I'm sick of being a minority viewer.

LOL! I actually like Dyson's look (I also liked Rob Pattinson in his hobo days with his Paul Bunyan beard), but Dyson is such a dick that Kris Holden-Reid being good looking means nothing to me. Dyson is just such an asshat that no scruffy good-looks will be able to overcome it.

These kind of relationships would interest me a lot more if they were Bro's. There is not enough het Bro's, ever, and even if there is they always end up ruining it by ~falling in wuv.

*sigh* I agree so much. I think that's one of the reason's I like Pete and Myka on Warehouse 13 so much. It's because they are bros and it's clear that they will never hook up even though they love each other, and would do anything to protect each other. If Bo/Dyson were a like a buddy cop team, I would enjoy their dynamic so much more. It would also mean that Bo romantic future could actually be interesting because the abundance of Dyson screen-time wouldn't automatically make Bo/Dyson seem like the show OTP. Because as it is, as the way the show is structured, everyone Bo shows an interest in will automatically end up playing second-fiddle to Dyson.

I'm sick of being a minority viewer.

*sigh* I know. I've become very cynical about TV. Things that I could have handled with some optimism before piss me off now, because I've been around long enough that I know things just always stay the same. F/F will never overcome M/F. The lesbian will be evil and die. Bisexual means for sweepsweek/titillation value, not for an actual sustained relationship on a show, etc. It's like, "Whatever, TV. Whatever."

The only non-cliche thing on the show so far is that Bo and Kenzi haven't fought over a man yet.

[boomwizard.livejournal.com]

Dyson scares me. Like, there's just something about his face. I think it's actually terrific casting that I just look at him and think WOLF. It's really creepy.

Ugh, god. Pete/Myka. I love everything about that friendship, and I ship it so platonically it's not even funny. On the one hand they seem like they're never going to 'go there' and that makes me so happy I think I could cry. Then you hear rumours about it being endgame and it just makes me rage because every show GOES THERE, and my poor little H.G./Myka* heart breaks a little more.

That's the main thing that bugs me about Dyson (aside from him being a collosal asshat) is that he gets so much screen time when he's really not that interesting of a character. Although I could listen to that voice of his for quite some damn time, NGL.

That last paragraph, just THIS. Everything you said. This is why I love fanfiction so much to the point that fanon ends up ruining canon for me forever because things happen the way that I want them to happen for once.

The female characters don't get killed off to satisfy the slash fangirls.
A guy and a girl can actually be friends and not want to suck each others faces off.
Continuity. CONTINUITY. GET A FUCKING GRASP ON CONTINUITY AND STOP DERAILING YOUR CHARACTERS BEFORE WE SEND SOME BNF'S UP THERE TO SHOW YOU HOW IT'S FUCKING DONE, WRITERS. IT HAPPENED WITH XENA, OKAY.

IT COULD HAPPEN. IT COULD.

The only non-cliche thing on the show so far is that Bo and Kenzi haven't fought over a man yet.

Oh, I'm waiting for it. They're gonna go there, I just know it. Even if it takes some more magic hoodoo like that crazy spider shit, it will come up eventually.


* Like you said, the lesbians are always evil. Also, British people are always evil. So really, H.G. had no freakin' chance.
