I wish I could quit you ...

Oh, Kenzi ... I feel ya, I feel ya.

A "Lost Girl" episode 2x02 - "I Fought the Fae (And the Fae Won)" post.

On the one hand, it'll be easier to watch the show having lost any hope of Bo/Lauren being a real thing.  On the other hand, I've lost any hope of Bo/Lauren being a real thing.

Thoughts

1.  Kenzi continues to be hilarious.

2.  The Trick/Blackthrone stuff was really interesting.  Fae politics continues to be of the good.

3.  It's probably a bad thing that I enjoyed Green Arm Band mocking Bo and generally being like, "you ain't shit" to her, cause she needs to mocked and she really ain't shit.  Boobs are not a plan Bo, even if they are nice like yours.

4.  I really wish all of the "cases" would stop "secretly" being about Bo's issues with Dyson.  How do Bo and Kenzi eat and pay for their fashionably dingy mansion?  Didn't they used to take cases and get paid money instead of the satisfaction of a job well adequately done?  When was the last time they took a case that wasn't one of Bo's crusades to prove that true love exists?  I signed on for the adventures of a take no shit, kind of tortured Succubus detective on a mission to clean up the streets from Fae scum as a way to atone for her past of murdering humans to stay alive.  I didn't sign on for "Sex and the Succubus".  Puh-leeze, can they have a real case!?!

5.  Found out about Hale's past.  Lauren ... yeah, you guessed it, nothing.


Complaining

Just ... how is it more important to see Bo embarrassingly try to seduce Dyson and then moping over him when we have no idea whether or not Lauren is going to be killed, banished, imprisoned, [insert other possible bad thing] because of a new Ash being named?  Like, Lauren looked like she was on the verge of vomiting in terror when she heard that a new Ash might be named and then ... nothing?  No other mention of how the whole situation with the Stag  and a new Ash being named would effect Lauren's life continuing?

Okay, show.  You've convinced me.  You really don't give a shit about Lauren as a character.  She will never be anything more than a doomed rebound relationship and then another person in Bo's life that she can use when it suits her (which, considering that this has been their entire relationship on screen so far, I really should have been more prepared for it). 

I give kudos to Anna Silk for making Bo seem like she cares about Lauren when they are interacting on screen together (even though it's also kind of cruel), but the writing just undermines anything she manages to do by showing Bo just not giving a shit.  She'll arrange dinner dates and go completely psycho trying to help a complete stranger, but she (or the writers) can't spare two minutes for a phone call to Lauren just to make sure she won't be buried alive in the Ash's tomb along with him and the cats?

*sigh*
