So. How is this show? >.>

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
To be honest, I haven't watched it yet. But it can't be worse than Lost Girl, and Zoie's a main character so ...

[identity profile] orange-creative.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
True. It can't be worse than Lost Girl. I've been meaning to look at Instant Star.

[identity profile] kennedyismyhero.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Now that's a train wreck! Talk about worse than Lost Girl, ZP has ONE episode with the main girl in that and then it's all about her nottrying to get a record contract. I haven't seen the season where her character dies but if you think sitting through LG is painfully, Instant Star is worse.

I'll spare myself.

I just have to second this. I've only caught a few episodes of Instant Star, but the ones I saw were soul-crushingly bad.

Lost Girl is Emmy worthy compared to this (well, Lost Girl not counting the last two episodes, which were just ... *shudder*)

I actually like it quite a bit. Zoie's character is wonderfully damaged. She also has a gay swagger. Seeing her in a uniform every episode is also a very nice little present.

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm all about the gay swagger. Gay swagger can get me through a lot! Plus, Uniform!Zoie (and Claudette!)

[identity profile] so-wicked.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sadly, Claudette is only in the 1st season of the series. I hope you don't see that as a spoiler, but if you do, I apologize. I don't know why she left, but they have a different actress playing Laura in season 2.

Also, I so terribly ship Carly and Laura. Seriously? Laura in that motorcycle jacket and helmet and unf? And Carly with her gay swagger? Match made in heaven.

You are a fangirl hero. That is all.

[identity profile] heartsways.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
This show is the gift that keeps on giving, Zoie-wise. Her character is great; she's great and her storylines are great. You'll be rooting for her all the way through for sure.

[identity profile] dantzig75.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I second that totally.
Not to mention there are moments of pure magic that "achingly beautiful" isn't enough to describe

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I have got to make time to sit down and watch this. Maybe something good (i.e. getting to watch this) will come out of the return of my abominable cold.

[identity profile] heartsways.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you absolutely will NOT regret it.

[identity profile] hivesix.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellence! Thanks for this.

Have you seen her spamming the shit out of the Lost Girl Twitter today? I woke up and was like "OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS!"

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I did read through most of her Twitter responses. She seems like such a fun, delightful person. I was quite charmed by her. And so happy to read how much she ships Bo/Lauren.

[identity profile] lostingeekdom.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah ... excellent. I was wondering where I could get that crack. I can't watch Lost Girl now unless there is something redeeming.

[identity profile] ralst.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for these. I've just watched the first ep and although the man-pain is a bit much Zoie is great.

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, man-pain. BSG man-pained me out. But I can make it through for Gay!Swagger Zoie.

[identity profile] dantzig75.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Dear Fembuck, it won't wash away the bitter taste that LG keeps leaving in your mouth, but honestly it is worth the watch. It will do you good ;)

Come on, give it a try. You can't post links to the eps and not watch them. That ain't fair to you :). I guess you have a lot of other stuff to do/watch right now but watching a drunken Carly/Zoie dance for a few seconds is the most beautiful cure I know against LG bitterness...

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry, I fully plan on watching it. I just haven't gotten the chance yet. ZP gay swaggering in uniform is not something I can resist.

But rest assured, I WILL watch!

i made some caps,i love Zoie SFM,i can't even watch Lost Girl without fastforward every BO&the Wolf scene,they're being ridiculous!!

[identity profile] swiftlyreloaded.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so w/ everyone here LG has left a bad taste in my mouth too. Zoie Palmer was twitter-ing today & said that she will be in the final episode & that we ALL will be surprised. I don't know what that means all I hope is that we get more than 30sec of Lauren getting dumped on by Bo.

[identity profile] hivesix.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Nahh that wouldn't be a surprise at all ;)

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
lol. So true.

Bo being an ass ... must be a Sunday.

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like to blindly trust in Zoie, but the show has made me weary. Also, I'm pretty sure she had to be nice seeing as it was lostgirltwitter and all.

Still, I hope that we do get some sort of revelation about Lauren that will allow Bo and Lauren to at least be friends again before the long wait for season 2.

[identity profile] mondoshawan555.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
So much thank you! I thought I might have to start bribing people to get these.

[identity profile] so-wicked.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, I've put up links to season 2 on my Journal. If you need them or anyone else does.

[identity profile] shalex2885.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks to you both! This is so great :) 'cause I really need Zoie Palmer fix now.

[identity profile] fembuck.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, thankee!

[identity profile] sinadino.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
thank you both :) I've spent the better part of the last few days to watch season 1... now.. I can even start on season 2 *squishyhuggles everyone who isn't fast enough to escape*

[identity profile] so-wicked.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I have season 3 posted on my journal as well so don't miss that one, too.

[identity profile] labellamafia494.livejournal.com 2010-12-08 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
I just watched the Guard's first two seasons. Dramalamas indeed. However, Carly is really fucken awesome. Lauren, who?

[identity profile] wickedqueen21.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Loosing faith in the world of Fae happily ever after with Lauren and Bo.

Though Zoie was sexy with her swagger (you're right on this) in the three or four clips of Instant Star.

PS are we only going to get an audio of Lauren's voice in the finale? Major fail !

[identity profile] lostnfoundcause.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude thanks for all the lost girl recommendations, I love lauren too.

[identity profile] takethisstep.livejournal.com 2011-10-18 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. On your recommendation I watched this show and am sooooooo hooked. Zoie Palmer is amazing. And so much better in this than Lost Girl. Not that that's her fault--Lauren gets way too little screen time in comparison to Dyson on LG.

Thanks again!
