It's the finale ... and thank you baby Jesus it didn't suck!

SRSLY U GUISE, U GUISE SRSLY, THIS EPISODE WAS LEGITIMATELY GOOD!

Dear Lost Girl, 

Can Michelle Lovretta please write every episode from now on?

Sincerely,
Everyone

Cause, I though it completely jargogles me ... I like Bo again.  Before this episode whenever I thought of Bo I just wanted to punch her in the face part of her face ... really hard.  But by the end of this episode I liked her, and kind of maybe respect her a bit.  I still think she's dumb as shit most of the time sometimes, and she's definitely still got that 'willful blindness to the truth/willful disregard for common sense' thing going on, but at least it was in a positive sorta way this time.  I don't even ... but it's true.

Thoughts:

- And Bo/Dyson doing it ... well, we are off to a wonderful start.  Ugh.  I don't even care that it turned out to be a dream sequence.

- Bo is just such a humble person.  She could really use a little more self-confidence.  She just doesn't believe in herself enough.  Pat yourself on the back every once in a while Bo.  Toot your own horn for a change.

- LOL Saskia is Bo's mother?  Well, I guess it's a good thing they didn't do it then (nice cover with that 'novelty whore' line there Efa).  Bo's gotta feel a little awkward about the girl!crush now.

- Saskia's on screen, I am happy.  Saskia's wearing a hat.  I'm happier.  Though the fact that the writers went to the Merlin School of Subtlely when it comes to female villains, makes me less happy.

- "Quiet like a bunny"  LOL Kenzi.  Considering her love of drama it does NOT surprise me Kenzi reads romance novels.

-  And Bo's a little snitty after learning Dyson's been lying to her since the beginning ... and that's it? [FYI:  she remains only a little snitty throughout.  But I think that's more due to the fact that Lovretta writes Bo, Bo doesn't act like a complete douchebag, and in fact she resembles an actual human being with a working brain] 

-  Anna Silk looks really good this episode though.  Bo always looks best in minimal make-up.  Also her acting, WAY WAY better this episode.  At least in this scene.  [FYI:  when Anna is given dark material and zingy one-liners she is very watchable.  It's almost hard to imagine she's the same actress that made me CRINGE last week.  But then again, this time she had decent material to work with and Bo wasn't acting like Justin Bieber fangirl so...]

-  "I know she's kind of a big, crazy bitch"  LOL.  Finally I see a family resemblance.

-  Oooh, Bo's going to see LAUREN! 

Bo: How do Succubus' fight each other?
Kenzi: Slow motion pillow fights, crotch lasers?
Oh, Kenzi I heart you so much.

- Bo managed to have a civil conversation with Lauren, and agreed to talk to her?  WHAT IS THIS SHOW THAT I'M WATCHING??!?!?!  What has this sensible person done with Bo?  What has this show that makes sense done with Lost Girl?  *hey, the show has earned this level of sarcasm!*

- Saskia pulling a June Clever?  Nice.

-  Ugh, Dyson you can shove your "I love her" up you butt.  NO1CURR

-  LOL, it just kind of cracks me up that Bo kept on eating that cookie Saskia had baked the whole time she was bitching at her.  Oh, I see, she had to cause their drugged.  "The secret ingredient is love" *twirls Bo's hair*  ewww, creepy.

-  LOL Saskia got Bo hot serving men and women.  BEST MOTHER EVER

-  THAT DRESS SASKIA IS WEARING IS INSANE!  HER BOOBS!  HER BOOBS!

-  It amuses me how much Bo and Saskia seem like they're coming onto each other.  It's like they went to the Anna Torv School of How to Have Inappropriate Chemistry with Women Playing your Relative

Efa:  I'm pretty sure I was speaking English!

-  Himbo Army ... flee from us and our model army ... lol, well done Bo.

-  HOT DAMN!  OH MY GOD!  I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!  Um, by blowing up the Ash did Saskia just unwittingly save Lauren from slavery?  I probably won't find out the answer to that question until season 3 considering how quickly people remember Lauren exists on this show.

- LOL 4 EVER!  BO JUMPING THROUGH THAT WINDOW WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS/RIDICULOUS THING I'VE SEEN!  She was probably a HANDFUL in High School.

-  OMG LAUREN CLIMBING UP ON A GURNEY IS THE HOTTEST THING TO EVER HOT!

-  I love how Bo keeps talking about "her team"!  Like, bitch who are you kidding, it's you and Kenzi.

IS BO THANKING LAUREN AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE RISK SHE IS TAKING?
AND DID THEY JUST KISS?  
AND ... I AM HAPPY-ISH

Kenzi:  So what are we supposed to do when we fight Mommy dearest ... besides pee our pants a lot
Kenzi:  Did you make this whole thing up to make-out with me?

-  Bo's quick with hand-cuffs!  Watch out Lauren!  Hee hee

-  The Underground Fae-road

Efa:  NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!
This was doubly hilarious after the ridiculously slow way Bo ran out of there.  Seriously, what was that?  Had Anna Silk like twisted her ankle earlier that day?  Girlfriend was practically strolling in terror.

-  I like Dyson's jacket in the scene with the Nor.  Okay, fine.  I WANT Dyson's jacket from the scene with the Nor.

OH GOD DAMN THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT GOING DOWN RIGHT HERE ON THIS FRAKKING SHOW.  I gotta admit, the sacrifice Dyson was willing to make for Bo was pretty serious.  I have to give the man props for be willing to give up his wolf.  STILL, I AM SO HAPPY AT THE MASSIVE COCK-BLOCK THAT JUST GOT THROWN IN THE WAY OF BO/DYSON.  Like I honestly could not have WISHED for a MORE MASSIVE COCK-BLOCK

SHE AIN'T HEAVY, SHE'S MY MOTHER

OOOOOH EFA IS BADASS.  Bitch is like a cat.  Eight more lives bitch!  Still ... I liked this scene more when it was Chase disappearing after Krista threw her over a banister in the Blade:  The Series finale, but it was pretty bad-ass here too!

-  I like Dyson when he thinks he's Wolverine.

-  Oooh, cliffhanger! 

And I am officially on-board for and anticipating season 2.  Well done show.  In fact, I think if you just pretend episodes 11 and 12 don't exist, season one might even be re-watchable.

- And Bo's a little snitty after learning Dyson's been lying to her since the beginning ... and that's it?

are you fucking kidding?

ARGH.

I mean, yay that Bo and Lauren can apparently be civil, but this REALLY burns.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Honestly, it is a little irritating that Bo was willing to be reasonable after learning Dyson lied, and that she managed to be civil with him when she completely froze Lauren out and was a complete bitch to her.

But ... Bo was pissed, remained pissed, and refused Dyson's help at a point because she couldn't trust him. So she didn't ignore the lie.

Also, this episode was much better written than previous ones, and Bo in general acted like an adult and made reasonable decisions throughout this episode. It was nice to actually be able to root for Bo.

Plus, Bo/Lauren ends on a pretty good note whereas Bo/Dyson has a HUGE cock-block thrown at it, so ...

Honestly, given what a mess the show has been for the last few episodes, this episode was really the best that could be hoped for.

[kennedyismyhero.livejournal.com]

Since you've deemed this episode watchable, I'm not gonna read your recap just yet but maybe you could please share if there was more than forty-five seconds of Lauren/ZP and mebbe a brief overview of her scenes, perhaps?

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

There's I think three scenes of Lauren, and they're all pretty good.

Lauren gets to be totally bad-ass in Super Doctor mode.

Bo and Lauren interact civilly, Bo treats Lauren like a human being she is fond of.

And Bo and Lauren manage to reconcile a little bit, and acknowledge that they still have feelings for each other, so they end on a fairly positive note.

[nonexistentlj.livejournal.com]

Girlfriend was practically strolling in terror.
LOL, I was wondering why Saskia was moving almost as fast walking.


Mixed feelings on this ep.

Likes: Lauren yay! Dyson's sacrifice made him pretty cool in my eyes.

Dislikes: Saskia was way too crazy-villain for my tastes. The whole "mommy" thing was creepy. Bo-Dyson is obviously being set up as the endgame. And can someone explain to me why Trick thought keeping Bo's identity secret from the light was helpful? Plot-holes abound.

One thing I found interesting was Lauren's relationship with the light fae and the Ash. Girl seems to be privy to all their secrets, and they trusted her with a key to the trophy room. Which seems to imply her status is more than "human", or "slave to the Ash" Also, the effort she was making to save the Ash seems to imply she cares, or at least respects him deeply. It gives credence to the theory that she bound herself to him willingly.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Dislikes: Saskia was way too crazy-villain for my tastes. The whole "mommy" thing was creepy.

I would have liked for Saskia not to have been so over-the-top. And Bo and Saskia's whole dynamic this episode was weird. Nothing about them came off Mother-Daughter-ish, but I also found that to be more amusing than creepy, lol.

Bo-Dyson is obviously being set up as the endgame.

I do worry that his sacrifice is so epic that it'll end up being like "he must be rewarded with Bo in the end, right?" But I'm willing to see where it goes ... at least for now.

And can someone explain to me why Trick thought keeping Bo's identity secret from the light was helpful? Plot-holes abound.

I guess he was concerned about them trying to kill her because of how over-the-top evil Efa is. But, yeah. A lot of the secrets Trick's been keeping really didn't seem like they needed to be kept.

One thing I found interesting was Lauren's relationship with the light fae and the Ash...Which seems to imply her status is more than "human", or "slave to the Ash"

Other than in episode 8 when Lauren was all worried while trying to teach Bo how to act like a grown up in front of the Ash she's never seemed very cowed or down-trodden. In the spider-episode she was quite forceful with Fae and seemed to have quite a bit of power as well.

I agree that she seemed genuinely concerned for the Ash as well. She hoped up on that gurney like it was important to her! I think she had to have bound herself willingly to him, and I do think that she has a great deal of respect for him. I also think that her standing in the Fae world probably isn't a low down as we might suspect. She seems like a trusted adviser, and like she would have an according standing in Fae society.

[hivesix.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched it yet but I'm so happy there is a B+ rating for this episode!! Or is it A because it is watchable and Bo/Lauren-containing?? Can't wait!

I probably won't find out the answer to that question until season 3 considering how quickly people remember Lauren exists on this show.
I screamed with laughter! You make me do that a lot, I think! Oh, the snark.

Girlfriend was practically strolling in terror.
And again! Stop it I'm falling out of my chair!

I'm so excited to watch this ep I will probably fast forward to Bo/Lauren and then watch it from the beginning and then fast forward again.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I'd give it's definitely a solid B+ if not an A. I didn't love how over-the-top evil Saskia was, but I think this episode was really the best we could have gotten considering the spot the show was in as of last week.


I'm so excited to watch this ep I will probably fast forward to Bo/Lauren and then watch it from the beginning and then fast forward again.

The whole episode is good, but the Bo/Lauren action I think would definitely soften you towards Bo, which could only increase your enjoyment of the episode if you then go back and watch all of it.

[laura zamora (from livejournal.com)]

So I haven't watch the last two episodes but I think i'm going to skip them and just watch the last one. Your overview of the two episodes just make me cringe and not want to watch them. It sounds like the last episode is going to remind me why I started watching this series in the first place.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Do it. Skip the last two episodes. They are abysmal and will only make you hate the show. The episode where Saskia is introduced is really the last one you need to watch.

And all you need to know is that at the end of last weeks episode, Saskia tried to kill Dyson, but Bo stepped in and saved him and was able to give him some of her energy essentially bringing him back to life.

And Saskia's name is actually Efa and she's some big succubus bad.

Nothing else relevant happened in those two episodes.

[lostingeekdom.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll have to download last week's episode and watch it now while I wait for this to show up.

Well ... as long as we continue to have Saskia ...

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

DON'T DO IT!

Seriously, last weeks episode was abysmal and served next to no purpose.

All you need to know from last week is that Saskia attacked Dyson, injured him seriously and Bo managed to save his life by giving him her own energy (like Saskia did that one time in the alley).

Seriously, watching last weeks episode will only enrage you. Just skip it. It's the Christmas season and sparing you for the horror of last weeks episode is the greatest gift I can give you!

[orange-creative.livejournal.com]

Okay, because I srsly don't mind spoilers, I read all of that. Which is good because now I'M REALLY EXCITED. I'll give you a proper flail about the finale after I sees it. :3

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I didn't know if it was possible, but this episode really did get me excited for season 2.

I look forward to reading your flailing after you see the episode!

[spanishtvjunkie.livejournal.com]

LMAO at this picspam minus the pics!!!!!!!! I haven't seen the show yet but the last episode made me not care so much so what did I have to lose in reading your post? I seriously laughed and snorted all the way through! Nice to hear the finale didn't disappoint and there is something to look forward to! *heeheehee so funny*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm glad the rambling paid off.

And this has definitely been the most enjoyable episode of the show in a while, and it's probably one of the top episodes of the show just in general.

The cast did not lie about the twists and turns in this ep.

[rtms.livejournal.com]

I wish they wrote this series this good all the time instead of the crap shoot they do for the other eps. So Dyson gets tricked and loses his love and passion for Bo instead of his wolf? Not much of a cock block since Bo can still use him for healing. Still if he really acts indifferent to Bo next season, good that means she may turn to Lauren for support and then a true triangle can develop.And word on the almost no reaction to him lying to her, or for that matter Trick lying to her. I can't believe that she flips out at Lauren and yet barley flinches and actually talks to Dyson about what he did.

Finally we have a villain that matters and can kick ass. Saskia/Efa is a great addition and I hope she continues her campaign to bring the Fae down. For that matter I want her to remain ambiguous to Bo in much the same way Mystque is to Rogue in X Men.

Lauren:I have a theory about her, I'm thinking she may be the Ash's daughter, just that she's human not fae. He may be using that against her to enslave her or keep her near him for what ever purpose he has, while she benefits from him with a great job. That or what ever is between them is genuine and more affectionate than just a slave/master relationship.Unless ownership is transferred to the new Ash she had no reason to want him to live so much.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I wish they wrote this series this good all the time instead of the crap shoot they do for the other eps.

I know, right! This episode wasn't perfect but it was enjoyable. I can ignore a lot as long as I'm entertained.

Not much of a cock block since Bo can still use him for healing. Still if he really acts indifferent to Bo next season, good that means she may turn to Lauren for support and then a true triangle can develop.

The healing might be a no go though. We know that it causes Dyson pain (as well as pleasure) and if he doesn't love Bo he might not be willing to put up with being blue-misted in order to heal her.

I too think that Dyson being cold will end up pushing Bo towards Lauren. My only worry is that this sets up Lauren as a rebound while Dyson may end up being the end game. Still, at this point I'm willing to go with the flow.

I don't know how I feel about Lauren being the Ash's daughter. I feel like people always end up being related to each other (I was honestly expecting a reveal that Trick was Bo's father). I'd love it if he was a father figure/mentor for her though, and to see that they have a real relationship. Like he's more protective of her than in control of her.

Either way, I just hope that we get more on Lauren's background in Season 2.

[sinadino.livejournal.com]

seems that this week the wait for the link is worth it :)

*settles down and tries the patience game again*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

The wait for the link IS worth it this week.

Hopefully it won't take too long.

[dustyrebellion.livejournal.com]

Skimmed your review 'cause I haven't watched yet.
THANKYOU.
News that Lost Girl doesn't suck this week has officially made my day :D

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

It definitely doesn't suck this week. You should enjoy all of it (other than maybe the first 3 minutes).

Other people have found plot holes and stuff, but I was entertained enough not to really have anything to nitpick about.

[heartsways.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm still reeling from the whole 'jumping up on the gurney' thing. It was...oh my. Dr Hotpants is hot. Uh, pants.

Yes yes, I'm making no sense at all. I know this. But really? I need more of Dr Hotpants being all medical badass and stuff. Oh, and more grabby-face kissing too, while you're at it, show. Thank you.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I'm still reeling from the whole 'jumping up on the gurney' thing. It was...oh my. Dr Hotpants is hot. Uh, pants.

I know. I was flabbergasted when that happened. I couldn't focus on anything else for minutes. She. Is. Amazing. So fierce!

need more of Dr Hotpants being all medical badass and stuff. Oh, and more grabby-face kissing too, while you're at it, show. Thank you.

All of this is very relevant to my interests! I concur!

[gpgurl50.livejournal.com]

I totally agree with your feelings on the episode. Even if it seems Bo/Dyson are being set up as OTP at least the triangle may have a chance to even out if Bo thinks Dyson is no longer interested. Also, Trick said that everytime he writes words with his blood there's always a consequence so that means that Efa is now tied up in something worse which will come back to bite them next season where Efa will be either good or bad? Possibilities.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Even if it seems Bo/Dyson are being set up as OTP at least the triangle may have a chance to even out if Bo thinks Dyson is no longer interested.

As long as Bo/Lauren gets fair treatment next season, and Lauren gets a decent amount of screen-time I'm in. If Lauren leaves the show, or Bo/Dyson are ever as DISGUSTING as they were last episode again however, I'm out for good.

that means that Efa is now tied up in something worse which will come back to bite them next season where Efa will be either good or bad? Possibilities.

I actually have no idea what's going on there. Whatever Trick wrote will totally have negative consequences, but did what he write make Efa sacrifice herself? I hope not because it's less meaningful, and I WOULD like for Bo/Efa to have some kind of relationship and for Efa to remain ambiguous (but not if its only because Trick made her).

[ralst.livejournal.com]

Squints passed spoilers - sees one, wants to go back, must resist, must resist - do you need to have watched the last two episodes to understand this one? Somehow, I can't bring myself to watch them unless I have to.

Thanks for the 'doesn't suck' it's made me look forward to watching the show for a change.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

You do NOT need to have seen the last two episodes to follow this one. In fact, I would honestly recommend NOT watching the last two episodes. THEY WERE AWFUL AND WILL ONLY ENRAGE YOU.

All you need to know is that Saskia is a really old, really powerful succubus named Efa (Aife?), and that she blue-mist mouth raped Dyson. Bo then chased her off and was able to revive Dyson by giving him her energy.

Those are the ONLY relevant things from the past two episodes.

This is honestly the most enjoyable episode of the show in a while. It's not perfect, but it was entertaining and had enough good moments that I didn't really find much to nitpick about ;)

[berryswirl.livejournal.com]

I'm relieved the finale didn't suck - now I have four episodes to catch up on, yay! Thanks for your reviews, they're always very helpful. :)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I would skip episodes 11 and 12 if I were you. They are REALLY REALLY BAD. You will just end up angry and hateful. Watch episode 10 where Saskia is introduced and then go straight to episode 13.

I can summarize all of the important information you need to know from episodes 11 and 12 in two sentences because those episodes were such a waste of time.

[dantzig75.livejournal.com]

Ok,
just watched the ep. Haven't read your recap or the comments yet, plus I'm having difficluties to put myself together, but damn... NOT ENOUGH LAUREN !!!!

Ok, the scenes were great, and Zoie ... I'm officially completely in love with this girl. That kiss was ...

but not even 10 mn in the whole ep !!!

ok, I calm down and come back later ;)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

There's never enough Lauren. I honestly don't think they'll ever be able to give her enough screen time to satisfy us, lol.

I'm just glad that we got some movement forward with the Bo/Lauren thing (and I'm aware that it was only a LITTLE movement) and that Zoie got a chance to act instead of just standing there while Bo acted like a bitch.

Honestly, my expectations for the show are quite low right now, so when they manage to do something remotely right, or at least manage not to piss me off, then I'm content.

[ded-n-berried.livejournal.com]

LOLed at Kenzi suggesting the Ash Vault was booby trapped as a penalty for rejecting Lauren's "hot, hot lady love!" They may not reconcile and move to Maine, but that B/L kiss looked welcome and mutual. There's still a little fiyah there. Yay.

I liked how everybody was really doing whatever they could independently to help Bo; it was Scooby-like, all hands on deck behavior, and I miss my Scoobs.

I agree that Lovretta should write as many eps as possible, at least until they weed out the scribes who pen non-sequitur bummers like #11 and 12. To sum up, good finale, am happy, more soon please.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

LOLed at Kenzi suggesting the Ash Vault was booby trapped as a penalty for rejecting Lauren's "hot, hot lady love!"

I missed that! *must re-watch*

They may not reconcile and move to Maine, but that B/L kiss looked welcome and mutual. There's still a little fiyah there. Yay.

This. I have very little expectations for this show, but if they keep giving me Dr. Lauren hoping all sexy like on gurney's and grabby kissing Bo, then I'm aiight. Not thrilled, but aiight.

I liked how everybody was really doing whatever they could independently to help Bo; it was Scooby-like, all hands on deck behavior, and I miss my Scoobs.


Yeah, except I could understand why they all wanted to help Buffy and would sacrifice for Buffy. Everyone's attachment to Bo mystifies me, but I just don't think when I watch this show now. I just want the episodes to amuse me enough that I don't start thinking about it, cause when I think about it I get annoyed.

I agree that Lovretta should write as many eps as possible, at least until they weed out the scribes who pen non-sequitur bummers like #11 and 12.

This! This was a guilty pleasure. This is a cheesy, campy show that I can enjoy. Episodes 11 and 12 were just painfully bad. Everything doesn't need to be Golden Globe worthy, but I should at least be entertained on some level.

[mondoshawan555.livejournal.com]

I'll just comment on that one scene I actually paid full attention to... It's obvious who they want Bo to end up with but her reaction to Lauren kissing her gave me a happy. If that 'talk' really does happen there ain't gonna be a lot of talking involved. So in my little dream world this episode was rather short but very enjoyable.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I honestly, have like no expectations when it comes to this show. Next season I just want to be able to stare at Zoie Palmer a lot more than I got to stare at her this season, and I want to be able to squee over Bo and Lauren making out.

If they give me that, I'll just turn off my brain for the rest of it, because I've accepted that this will never be a GOOD show. I just want it to entertain me more than it pisses me off, and if season 2 is like 1x13 then I'll be satisfied.

f that 'talk' really does happen there ain't gonna be a lot of talking involved.

Heh. I doubt it. And after 1x13, in my mind, Lauren tops.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_profiterole_/]

Ha ha! That scene where Bo and Saskia first met and they kissed ended up being incest. \o/

Bo's reaction at Lauren's "betrayal" and her (lack of) reaction at Dyson's betrayal are completely disproportionate. Grrr! At least the Dyson problem is solved for a while.

Wow, Trick and Dyson, you talk to each other but you don't communicate, you know, so that only one of you does something radical. *rolls eyes*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! That scene where Bo and Saskia first met and they kissed ended up being incest. \o/

They kissed? *must re-watch* Cause if so ...



Bo's reaction at Lauren's "betrayal" and her (lack of) reaction at Dyson's betrayal are completely disproportionate. Grrr! At least the Dyson problem is solved for a while.

It's irritating, but I'd honestly rather have Bo act like an adult than a spoiled brat. She was reasonable with Lauren this episode too, so if this episode is a movement towards Bo not being an obnoxious cunt all the time, I'll just roll with it.

And the Dyson problem is solved for a while, so yay!

Wow, Trick and Dyson, you talk to each other but you don't communicate, you know, so that only one of you does something radical.

That would require someone besides Lauren using their brain, and we know that doesn't happen. Honestly, Trick and Dyson sacrificing what they did for Bo's trifling ass is mystifying any way, so why not have them totally keep each other in the dark even though they've discussed EVERYTHING together ad nauseum all season?

Hope my comment isn't too long

[dantzig75.livejournal.com]

Ok, now that I took my pills :)

Sure, this ep was good. Not stellar, but honestly good. I guess that was an impossible task after the last 4 eps. (hm yes, I consider that nothing really interesting happened since ep. 8, and the quasi-absence of Lauren all this time only made it worse). Again, things are so much better when there's no Fae-of-the-week case (can Dyson be considered the Fae-on-the-week case of last ep.? - which I wisely did not watch and I thank you for your advice). Still, I'm not that impressed. Because Lauren wasn't even on screen 10 mn. Come on, I'm starving here ! This show won't improve until she becomes a regular.

LOL Saskia got Bo hot serving men and women.
"Honey, that's how everyone should live". I love that. Saskia could make such a brilliant villian. The "mentally instable mode" was sometimes kinda funny, but a bit too much for me. I'd so much prefer her to be a non-repentant bad girl, torn between loyalty to herself and a mother-love. I want depth I think, but I chose the wrong show I guess.

I gotta admit, the sacrifice Dyson was willing to make for Bo was pretty serious. I have to give the man props for be willing to give up his wolf.
That sure is a massive cock-block. It may also mean we'll get to see douchebag again. Certainly it's the after-effects of his last week puppy behaviour, but I found Dyson boring, worse uninteresting, transparent, non existent. And for the first time, I had problem with Kris's acting. It was flat. however, his wish of losing his werewolfness for Bo made me think of a reverse-Spike who asked to be a demon again to forget his love for the slayer.

Kenzi was not boring, just completely mistaken. Her sarcasm was totally out of line in front of the situation Bo had to deal with. Her over-protectiveness is boring, and even kinda abnormal for me, to a point where I honestly wondered if she wasn't hiding something from Bo as well and end up being the traitor of the week.

And Bo's a little snitty after learning Dyson's been lying to her since the beginning ... and that's it?
+1.
Dyson lied to her ALL THIS TIME, about her mother, no less, and she's not even angry ??? blasé, detachment, what? We know Bo-Dyson is endgame, and I personaly want to puke everytime I think about it, because they have as much chemistry as ice cubes, but come on. I get we are to understand that Bo's attachment to Lauren was way stronger hence Bo's never-ending pout, but I don't buy it, I don't trust the writers. I also wish Bo had gone all anger towards Trick and Dyson for their omission.

I hate the idea that Lauren almost had to bargain with Bo in order to have the "talk". Again, Bo needing something from Lauren is the only reason she went to see her; plus, I hate the face Bo made when she answered to kensi's "where do we start?" "with Lauren". I'm fed up with that, even her "she betrayed me" melodrama doesn't excuse that... disdain? annoyance? Lauren deserves so much more, and so much better. Bo, if people kept things hidden from you, or acted for your own good behind your back, that's because you're a total moron. And they are masochistic.

From another perspective, yeah, Lauren's "I'm in charge" attitude was great. At least, there's someone in this show who can react efficiently in urgency situations.

The kiss : deadly romantic, I liked it a lot. And after I rewatched it, I notice Bo was reponsive, as if she needed it to finally happen as well. Zoie was the emotional one. Again. Because Anna Silk still did not impress me. Bo goes through many emotions and reactions, but Silk always remains on the surface of them. I wish she went deeper. I thought playing a character that's a mix between a sexual confidante woman and a 15 years old teenager could be challenging.

Conclusion : I'm in for S2, but at 2 conditions : consistency in the writng, and REAL improvment for Lauren's character. I want to see her in all ep., equal time with the other maincharacters. And remain Dr Dyke. No less. Or I quit (Who I am kidding? As if I could refuse even a one second appearance of ZP ) ... Zoie : it's gonna be a long long winter-spring-summer waiting for you to return.

Thanx again for your recap. Great, as usual.
One question : will this ep. inspire you for new fanfics? I hope so ;)

Re: Hope my comment isn't too long

Sure, this ep was good. Not stellar, but honestly good. I guess that was an impossible task after the last 4 eps.

How I feel. I was entertained this week. I think that's about as much as I'm ever going to get from this show. If season 2 can at least manage to be entertaining (if not smart) then I can deal with it.

It may also mean we'll get to see douchebag again.

I hope so. Douche!Dyson was at least fun to hate. Puppy!Dyson was just embarrassing (even though I did like his wardrobe)

Kenzi was not boring, just completely mistaken. Her sarcasm was totally out of line in front of the situation Bo had to deal with. Her over-protectiveness is boring, and even kinda abnormal for me

Out of place or not, I LOL'd at her 'pillow fights and crotch lasers joke', though I was like "Kenzi, Hale take your flirting OUT of the triage center please!".

But yeah, Bo and Kenzi's relationship is just there. The writers really screwed the pooch making them insta-BFFs. When Kenzi went into her "I got your back always" speech again this episode, I was just like "BUT WHY?" but then I just reminded myself this was Lost Girl and shut off my brain.

They're relationship really isn't that moving though, because I never saw them really grow close.

Dyson lied to her ALL THIS TIME, about her mother, no less, and she's not even angry ??? blasé, detachment, what? We know Bo-Dyson is endgame

I'm choosing to take Bo's tempered response as just better writing than a slap in the face to Bo/Lauren. She was mad at Dyson, yes she used him to heal, but she was using him to heal and she kind of put him in his place afterward. And she was very reasonable with Lauren this episode, unlike in previous episodes and we say no build up to that on screen. So I'm thinking Lovretta just writes the character better.

I'm also hoping that the fact Bo resembled an adult this episode means that she won't be such an obnoxious cunt next season.

I hate the idea that Lauren almost had to bargain with Bo in order to have the "talk". Again, Bo needing something from Lauren is the only reason she went to see her

Again, I'm just gonna shrug. Lovretta had to address the hole that the others writers had dug Bo/Lauren into, so I'm thinking her saying "We'll have that talk" over and over again was supposed to show Bo does want to move on from this, while establishing she still has feelings for Lauren.

As for Bo going to Lauren cause she needed something ... well, that's just Bo, isn't it? She's a user. All season long she's mostly only bothered with people when she's needed something. In this episode she only bothered to start talking to Dyson again because she needed healing, so ... that's just Bo being an awful person, as per usual.

The kiss : deadly romantic

I agree. And you're right, it was almost entirely ZP. ZP is the reason I like Bo/Lauren, because she sells Lauren's desire so well. I did like the way Bo stroked Lauren's hand, but Anna's acting is not what has me rooting for Bo/Lauren. Still, Zoie brings enough heat for both of them.

I'm in for S2, but at 2 conditions : consistency in the writng, and REAL improvment for Lauren's character. I want to see her in all ep., equal time with the other maincharacters. And remain Dr Dyke. No less.

This. Lauren is my main draw. If her screen time is anything like it was this season, I'm out. And I too want her to stay Dr. Dyke. If they place a Lauren/M relationship in front of me I'm out too. Lauren/F, I'll stay. Really, how they handle Lauren's character will determine how long I stay around. But I'm giving them a chance. I just hope they don't fuck it up.

Bo totally did.No matter what the writers made her say next, its totally true, that horndog ;)


lol! I totally think that Bo would shag kenzi if given the opportunity. She had that Kenzi/Lauren fantasy, and in that same spider episode she also tried to succubus Kenzi.

The only thing keeping Bo out of Kenzi's pants, is Kenzi's "I'm straight" declarations.

but omg all the shows I love are ending for the season its making me so sad...

Merlin finished
Lip Service finished after a measley 6 episodes
Lost Girl has now finished
The Walking dead has finished again after a measley 6 episodes
and Nikita has almost finished

God, I feel your pain. I'm in television withdrawal right now, cause all of those are my shows too. I'm actually REALLY REALLY missing Lip Service, which I did not expect.

I have Spartacus: Blood and Sand coming back in January (sadly, sans Ilithyia but plus Jaime Murray), but other than that not much is looking bright on the TV horizon. *sigh* This plus the snow and ridiculously cold weather is just making me wish it was summer again.

Ohhhh gosh. I haven't even watched the last two episodes. Actually scratch that. I only watched one of them, and that was only the part with Lauren (cause she's just to lovely to miss).

I couldn't help but read your review for this episode though, and now I'm absolutely DYING to see it. Lauren climbing up on a gurney? Bo and Lauren kiss? Lauren just being in the fucking episode!? Ohhhhhhhh my this one definitely sounds like it's worth watching. I can't wait for a link.

Don't bother watching 11 and 12. They were offensively, abominably bad. And NOTHING happened, other than Bo/Dyson fuckery.

Just skip 12 and go straight to this one.

This episode is not perfect, but it IS entertaining, and if you just shut your brain off and don't think too hard about the show then you'll probably at least look forward to next season.

have Lovretta involved w/ writing, esp'ly Bo, from now on.

YES! Bo is tolerable the way Lovretta likes her. She's still a pretty crappy heroine, but at least I didn't actively hate her this episode.

please put that Amulet on Dr. Hot Pants stat so you can enjoy her hot, hot lady love w/o sucking her dry.

I don't even know if the amulet would help with sexytimes. Bo already proved she can do Hot Pants without the amulet, and the amulet seemed to cause the succubus feeding discomfort which would probably be a bit of a cold shower on Bo's libido.

Wolfie's jacket would sooo look better on you!

Aw, thank you ;)

Well dammit. Now I'm eager for season 2. After the train wreck that was the last few episodes I was almost ready and willing to give up on Lost Girl but this episode was actually good and planted a little spark of hope in my heart for the reconciliation of Bo and Lauren.

Kenzi's line about slow motion pillow fights had me in stitches, and then she immediately followed it up with CROTCH LASERS and I nearly peed myself.

Dyson's whole ~BIG HEROIC SACRIFICE left me rather unimpressed. I was all "Oh, that's nice. Whatever." and then Crone Lady bitch was all LOL TAKING YOUR LOVE NOW and I was screaming like a crazy person and slapping my knees so hard because REALLY, BIGGEST COCKBLOCK EVER. That was probably just part of the plot to stir up shit for the next season but a small part of me likes to think they put it there for the Team Lauren fans.

This. Plus, I've lowered my expectations to a manageable level for this show. I don't really need it to be good. I just need it to entertain me enough that I don't think too much about it. And I need Lauren being awesome, and possibly making out with Bo (though her making about with another chick would work just as well). If season 2 can give me this, then I will be able to stick it out.

Kenzi's line about slow motion pillow fights had me in stitches, and then she immediately followed it up with CROTCH LASERS and I nearly peed myself.

I know! I lol'd for real. Such a hilarious line. And Ksenia's delivery was A+ as usual.

Dyson's whole ~BIG HEROIC SACRIFICE left me rather unimpressed.

As much as we complain about Bo/Lauren being shafted, Bo/Dyson despite the amount of screen time they got have come across completely flat. I just DO NOT SEE Dyson being in love. He can say it all he wants, but I DON'T GET IT and so I just had a 'whatever' reaction. The only reason I liked that scene was because I KNEW she was going to take his "love" for Bo and that amused me.

Like the writers really screwed up both relationships. Byson is NOT a really popular ship. Dyson is popular with a certain segment, but a lot of Dyson fans dislike Bo as much as Lauren fans have come to dislike her, and a lot of Dyson fans don't get the 'epic love' vibe either.

Everything has just been so ineptly handled.

Still, looking forward to the increased Lauren screentime the cock-block will allow for, since Lauren is really the only thing I care about.
