fembuckNew Lost Girl! Oh, yeah.
So there is Dr. Lauren, but I'll warn you now that there's not a lot of her. And what you see of her will make you want to punch Bo square in the face (more than usual).
To lift your spirits I will say that the Succubus (Saskia? Though most of the time it sounds like Bo is saying Seska) that Bo meets in this episode is awesome! The actress playing her was brilliant and the character was tons of fun and worked really well with Bo. They are a fun combo to watch together.

Mmm, Knives. Bo cleaning swords with her legs wide open while she drinks wine is HOT! The fact that she's wearing the gayest vest in world while doing this also helps!
Kenzi: Honey, if I could give you the six inch all of your problems would be solved.
LOL Kenzi, if you don't want me to ship you and Bo then don't say things like that while grinding up on her.
Bo: I've tried. Men, women, humans, fae. That one time with a goat. *pause* Kidding.
Good one, Bo. Way to funny.
Ooh, the case this week starts out creepy!
Bo's like a 15 year old child. My god. No wonder she gets along so well with Kenzi.
The Bo and Lauren reunion is painful and awkward, you guys! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. I suppose the bright side is that Bo cared enough about Lauren to still be acting like an immature bitch about what happened? And her anger means that she still cares a lot ... maybe ... possibly ...? *sigh*
Seriously, it was painful to watch. It was like watching an episode of The Office (UK). I almost couldn't look at the screen I was squirming so much. I just wanted to hug Lauren forever (and I've already written about my wanting to punch Bo square in the face).
(It was amusing though, how when Lauren said, "It appeared consensual" (in relation to sex a murder victim had) that Lauren was tense, as if she just knew it would send Bo into a complete shit-fit (which of course it did).)
Bo: I've got three words: Lauren, kiss-my-ass. *pause* Lotta hyphen's in that last one.
Damn Bo, you so dumb.
Kenzi: Little guy .. big mouth ... must knoooooow!
LOL OMG THAT LINE WAS PERFECTLY KENZI! I love how painful it was for her NOT to be able to talk!
OMG Bo is so fucking melodramatic. It's like watching watching a girl version of Big (with Tom Hanks) where Josh Baskin spends all of his time whining about how complicated things are with the hot people who wanna sex him up instead of doing fun things.
Kenzi: Set phasers to DOUCHE.
LOL Kenzi! I love you.
Oooh, succubus strut. Me likey. Eying Bo sexily. Me likey even more.
Kenzi, quoting Ludacris during that speed dating date was HILARIOUS! "Regret is for suckas, for suckas, for suckas. Regret is for suckas, for suckas like you ... bitch!"
Kenzi: Ver-gina
I love that bitches Occupations for Succubae List. Perfection.
Succubus: (incredulously) You work?
LOL what an awesome line!
Succubus: Honey! Succubus don't work! *laughs airily*
Oh, man. I want the show to be about this chick! Her life seems awesome.
[Upon being asked by Bo is she could sense any Fae the night she was in the bar.]
Succubus: Sorry, Fae-dar isn't really a succubus gift.
LOL, this bitch is killing me! She's so FABULOUS!
Succubus: Besides, I wanna see you in action Nancy Drew! It'll be interesting to see how the other side (people who work) lives.
LOL, seriously. Showcase, can we keep her? PLEASE!
*Is suddenly scared that that awkward scene of Dr. Lauren is the only Dr. Lauren we'll get *shivers* Cannot unthink that thought*
Bo looking at Other!Succubus as she Succubus'd that guy was pretty hot. It reminded me of Cara kissing Darken Rahl while looking at Dahlia (only not as awesome) and anything that reminds me that is a-okay in my books.
Succubus: You're kidding right! You don't actually live like this, do you?
LOL. Oh, you.
HA HA, BO! A notepad? You really are adorable sometimes (*narrows eyes* sometimes!).
OH MAN, other!succubus doesn't sleep with succubus' WHAAAAAA. Why would you do that to me show? Is it cause it would make me happy? I mean, "I'm a novelty whore" was a great line, but not good enough for me to be happy about you taking away MORE girl-on-girl action! Ahhhhhhh. Why do you keep cock-blocking the GOGA!?!?!! I swear to God, it's like Kim Harrison is a consultant on this show or something! Other!Succubus is totally gonna get Skimmer'd!
Is other succubus named Seska? Cause if so, I love her even more than before! I'mma just call her Seska from now on. It's my post I can do what I want to!
*Random: The Tourist seems like it'll be a good movie*
Oh, man, this commercial break is killing me! Bring the show back already!
Heh, there was a commercial for something called DYSON BALL on right before Dyson showed up on screen.
WHY'S DYSON BEING SO NICE? HE'S MAKING ME ... LIKE HIM! Ewww. I do love that Bo has, like, Succubus!glow after spending time around Seska though. Awesome.
What's an abastar? Ugh, I hate it when shows do that. At least Bo actually ran instead of pulling her usual Bo-ness and standing around while arguing about something.
"Women mostly. Quelle surprise. Puritan bastards." Oh, Seska. Lean and snark, baby. Lean and snark.
Seska: This is fun, maybe I should get a hobby.
Bo: I'm converting you.
Seska: Not if I convert you first.
[Girly slaps ensue]
OH, Bo/Seska I LOVE YOU TOGETHER! SHOW DO NOT TAKE SESKA AWAY FROM ME!
Bo and Seska hunting together is HAWT!
So her name is Saskia? Aw. I got really found of the idea of her being called Seska. Way to pronunciate for the first time 40 minutes in Anna Silk.
Un-Succubusing (de-succubusing? Discuss) is pretty hot too!
Me likey the implication of un-Succubusing for Bo/Lauren once they get back together. It means that Bo won't have to worry so much about losing control with Lauren, because if she takes a bit too much she can just give the energy right back to Lauren.
Bo's glowing eyes are stupidly hot.
"Bad news Bert!" OMG SASKIA Y ARE YOU SO BADASS! "Because I'm pretty goddamn shameless!"
"I'm thinking he's not gonna like this threesome. At all." Ha ha, Bo. Good one.
You guise, I love Bo and Saskia together so much. They don't even need to make-out, Saskia just needs to be all sweet and mentorly with Bo, while they investigate things together and then go party. The investigation stuff has been so fun this week!
Bo, I'm sorry you are so dumb. For real. You are really, really dumb. Giving up actually being to learn about what you are and how to control your powers and increase them to save the life of a woman hating, Dark Fae murderer who could get Saskia hurt if he tells the Morrigan about her attacking him to protect you is JUST DUMB!
Saskia and Lauren should commiserate about BO BEING A JUDGMENTAL DUMB!
WOW BO YOU ARE A DOUCHE! In so many ways. Not only did that 'FUCK YOU, LAUREN' hug hurt Lauren, it was hurtful to Dyson too because of how obviously a 'FUCK YOU, LAUREN' hug it was, which makes him feel like he's being used. DOUCHE ALL OVER THE PLACE. Shoving him away like that at the last second before storming away was also very mature.
This episode more than any other has really gotten across the idea of how emotionally stunted Bo is. The idea that the show-runner talked of about Bo essentially being a 15 year girl (or at least having the social skills of one). Kenzi actually comes across as much more mature most of the time.
I love Bo's sulky pose. That's the second time we've seen her sulking like that.
Bo and Kenzi really are like college roommates. Bo looking at Saskia's jacket longingly .... promising (though it was also kind of douchey). It undoes the hurt a little bit. But, I still feel that with how soddily this show is written that Saskia will not be mentioned again all season.
Preview for next week:
A whole lotta Dyson shirtless and growling while showing off his fangs. Dyson's seems angry about stuff and people think he killed some dude. Bo seems unsure whether he killed that dude, Trick seems convinced he's going to be executed for killing that one dude, Hale says he's killed lots of dudes before this one and lots of people don't like him because of all of his dude-killing, and EMMANUELLE VARGIER (aka the Morrigan) wants his head.
No shots of Dr. Lauren were present. This usually means there is no Dr. Lauren. I am concerned.
So there is Dr. Lauren, but I'll warn you now that there's not a lot of her. And what you see of her will make you want to punch Bo square in the face (more than usual).

popping in to discuss Lost Girl!
Date: 2010-11-24 01:03 am (UTC)For my money, I don't think that Bo hugged Dyson just looking to get back at Lauren; I think Bo was genuinely looking for some sort of reassurance and comfort, as well as a way to thank Dyson. But I don't think she got out of the hug what she was looking for (though I doubt she knows what she was really looking for), hence the way she quickly disengaged, and I think it's because it wasn't really Dyson she wanted to be hugging. IMO, that shove was born from the frustration of being right next to Lauren yet feeling like she's not able to reach out to her. (Of course, the fact that Bo is the only one getting in her own probably didn't occur to her. Sigh.)
That said, however, I also think Bo was very aware that the hug would upset Lauren. Which is perhaps also why she shoved Dyson away--the moment he started to actually hug her back she recoiled, and I'm willing to bet it was because she instantly felt guilty for a) acting out at Lauren and B) using Dyson to do it. (And then probably pissed that she felt guilty for hurting Lauren, because she very much sees herself as the wronged party here.)
I was given hope by the way that Bo kept it a "platonic" hug even though Dyson was clearly going for a more "romantic" hug/moment. But Bo shut that down and kept it on the friends-only level, which is interesting. I also found their body language extremely telling. When the scene opens, all three are oriented toward the body--Bo and Lauren directly across from each other and Dyson splitting them, his gaze perpendicular to theirs, which is not the first time the show's used that blocking. Once Bo says the guy was Dark, Dyson's body immediately angles toward hers--you can tell that he's very much trying to make it a conversation between the two of them, and clearly treats Lauren as an interloper when she speaks. But Bo doesn't reciprocate the body language--right before Dyson says "I'll handle this, Bo," you can see that her body is oriented somewhere in between Dyson's and Lauren's, and she has to turn her head and her body slightly to hug him. I don't think the blocking being like that is unintentional, even if the acting in that scene didn't quite convey a clear message.
Re: popping in to discuss Lost Girl!
Date: 2010-11-24 01:22 pm (UTC)You have a higher opinion of Bo, than I do. I still can't help but see it as a giant 'FU'.
We've just never seen Bo react to her life being in danger like that, by flinging herself at Dyson and clinging to him. The hug seemed very un-Bo-like, and the situation (compared to others she had been in) didn't seem extreme enough to provoke such an uncharacteristic reaction.
I saw Bo's eyes dart quickly towards Lauren before she hugged him, and I think it was a calculation on her part. Opportunity presented itself (both Dyson and Lauren in the same room) and Bo took the opportunity to try and hurt Lauren (like Bo feels Lauren wounded her) by rubbing it in that she is still literally within Dyson's reach, but out of Lauren's.
But I don't think she got out of the hug what she was looking for (though I doubt she knows what she was really looking for), hence the way she quickly disengaged
I do think that she did get out of the hug because she didn't really get what she wanted out of it. Sticking it to Lauren probably wasn't as satisfying as she thought it would be (possibly since she really wanted to be hugging Lauren as you suggested) and she probably also came to the realization that the way she using Dyson was kind of douchey.
Once Bo says the guy was Dark, Dyson's body immediately angles toward hers--you can tell that he's very much trying to make it a conversation between the two of them, and clearly treats Lauren as an interloper...I don't think the blocking being like that is unintentional, even if the acting in that scene didn't quite convey a clear message.
I hadn't thought about the blocking before, but you're quite right. Upon rewatching the scene, Dyson moving closer to Dyson and trying to draw her complete attention is quite clear. And Bo does remain looking almost between them, easily able to see (choose) either one.
The blocking was quite a good representation of the relationship between all of them, with Lauren a bit off to the side and separated, while Bo and Dyson are physically close to each other, but with an emotional distance between them. Dyson clearly wants her focused on him, while Bo is torn between both of them, while Lauren hangs back cautiously, observing and coveting.
