Lost Girl: Season 2, Episode 9 – ‘Original Skin’

Monday, November 21, 2011 3:57 PM

At the start of this week's episode, Kenzi convinces Bo to go for a wild night out only to find that the Dal is empty, save for the series regulars, because it's bingo night.  That's right, bingo night.  Sounds like the start of a pretty boring episode, right? Wrong (and you've got some nerve for thinking so).

 


As it turns out, two unexpected Dark Fae guests are at the bar: Raynard, an escaped mental patient, and Woods, a bounty hunter who will stop at nothing to capture him.  Raynard has the ability to take over other people's bodies and  - wouldn't you know it - he ends up taking over Bo's, sending her into limbo. Just when everyone else realizes Bo's been taken over she breaks out of limbo, setting up a cascading series of good old fashion body-swappings.


In the end (luckily everyone's wearing name tags so it's not as confusing as it could have been), Ciara and Hale swap bodies, Bo and Woods swap, and Kenzi takes over Dyson (seeing him prance around as Kenzi is worth the price of admission alone).  At first everyone enjoys their new bodies to the fullest extent allowable by a 14+ rating, but then they realize that Raynard is still unaccounted for, with both Kenzi and Lauren claiming to be inhabited by Dyson.

 

 


Who has Raynard masqueraded himself as, and what diabolical schemes does he have in mind?  Don't worry, we won't spoil it for you...you can watch it HERE and spoil it for yourself.


What did you think of last night's episode? If you could take over one of the character's bodies, whose would it be?

Last night's episode of lost girl was AMAZING!!!! It was so much fun to watch. I found Kenzi being inside Dyson's body to be so funny! :P

Zoie Palmer and KHR stole the show last night! The episode itself was entertaining... but it was mostly a filler.  They wasted some good potential there by having Lauren sent into limbo.

This show needs more Dr. Hotpants.

Well, it was ok. I laughed at Kenzi taking over Fyson'e body. Was the only time I actually ~liked Dayson. Ironic, really, because it's also the time when he wasn't his real self. His real personality tend to bore the living hell outta me. To quote Bo: "do you always have to be you?" yeah, I don't like the way he treats humans - be it Kenzi or Lauren. His obvious disgust is annoying. I guess the writers wanted to redeem him with that line about Kenzi being "the strongest person he's ever met" no? Well, not gonna work. Cause he still treats Lauren like shit. Odd, I don't really understand Kenzi's love for him! Maybe she has a fetich or something -- like, loving being treated like trash?

All in all, average ep. Hope they do another episodes, where the main focus is on Hale, or Lauren, or Trick even.

I think this ep was the chance of Lauren talk about your feelings - because she have - with Bo. Also Lauren dont appear more times .Bo and Lauren never decided your relationship. When they will talk about "is about us " ?? Maybe the writers should talk about the plot of Bo and Lauren ,and let clear about all of these feelings .Because it was never up to then discuss.

Dear LG Creators, Cast, & Crew:

Last week, I woke up the morning after watching episode 2x08 and cried (happy tears), because I was *so* glad to see Bo and Lauren's relationship--a beautiful, believable romance between two women--playing out on a major TV series.  I remembered 20 years ago, when the best reflection of herself and her relationships a gay woman could hope to see on TV was a little bit of subtext sprinkle in between two female characters in a dramatic series.

I cannot explain to you what Bo and Lauren's relationship means to me, and to so many other people of all stripes.  I know that sometimes we fans can be hard on the creative team behind the scenes of Lost Girl (LG), particularly the writers; but, you have to understand the fire with which you are playing.  The glow warming your faces and trophy cases is the light of a thousands of fans who believe that *this* series might be the one buck the trend and give two female characters a chance to be its canon couple.  Nowhere else on TV is this happening the way that it is on Lost Girl.  (Believe me, I've looked.)  And thousands of viewers have flocked to the series and invested their emotions in the stories you tell each week as a result.

So you can understand my frustration last night when, in episode 2x09, Lauren's character was suddenly cavalier about having kissed Bo fiercely at the end of the previous episode.  And you can understand my annoyance when Bo questioned the intent of that kiss, and, throughout the episode, didn't seem to care a bit extra for Lauren as the action unfolded.  And you can understand my anger when, at the end, Dyson's love for Bo was spotlighted once again as the love to end all loves, the superior one, far more significant than whatever Lauren feels for Bo and Bo for Lauren, through Kenzi's exchange with Dyson about the emptiness she felt inside him.

I tell you this, because I want you to realize what is at stake.  For me, and the larger community of LG fans you have created of which I am a part, this is about much more than TV.  We are not asking that you be perfect; we are not asking that you make the characters on the show perfect.  We only ask that you treat Bo and Lauren's relationship with the same respect, and imbue it with the same importance, as you do Bo and Dyson's.

You have the chance to live up to the press and pop media frenzy about being a cutting-edge series and actually DO it.  

This is your moment.  Please remember the people like me who will be watching, hoping, and continuing to believe that Bo and Lauren have a chance.  

Thank you for the moments you have given us so far.  To the promise of many, many more to come.

Sincerely,

firesideteller

I loved this week's episode! It was an awesome filler and it was nice to take a funny break from all the intense storyline. Kenzi in Dyson's body was the best thing to ever happen ever. So funny.

I would've loved to see Kenzi in Lauren's body though. I think they need to sort out their differences and understand each other more. I also thought it was a rather random that Lauren was so cold towards Bo...didn't really make any sense.

And what was up with the Ash and his head in a box. I have a feeling Lauren/Nadia and everything else is all connected.

Also, I wanted to say that I love the overarching storyline (all powerful Bo and a Fae war) going on. Very Buffy-esque and exactly where the show needs to go.

Memento said:

I enjoyed the funny bits of the episode, but the overall writing was unsatisfying.

There seems to be no real consistency in the character's development or the storylines - like: last episode Bo and Lauren were willing to die for each other, this week Bo starts whining about Dyson again for no apparent reason. Bo seemed to be handling the Lauren/Nadia stituation quite well.

I wish the writers would respect the storylines more and not only clarify that they're Team Dyson or Team Lauren with writing episodes that don't seem to fit in the big picture such as this. Otherwise you should consider re-naming the show "Lost Storylines".

I pity the actors - even their brilliance and talent can't always make up for this inconsiderate writing. Your show and your actors deserve much better!!!

I went through what I wrote again and think I have to clarify my point 3) a bit.

Through the body swapping we ended up learning something about the feelings of every main character >in relation to the others<, except for, you guessed it, Lauren.

So…

Yeah yeah, her deepest, darkest desire is killing Lachlan. I never expected her to be a saint anyway, so, for me personally that was rather "Well, duh!", and it kept the character from being futher integrated into the main characters-ensemble. I also take issue with it, because I think it was a plot device about as subtle as an anvil falling on your toes.

I agree completely with firesideteller, so I won't write it all over again. This person nailed it on the head about how the fans feel about the Bo/Lauren storyline. I thought last nights episode did not do justice to that storyline. I realize there are love triangles, but if you're trying to sell the "She loves them both" bull crap, I really hope you don't . Just pick a side. Who does she love, and who does she want to be with?

November 22, 2011 4:21 PM

Tina said:

Can I just second firesideteller's comment? Make no mistake, this is how the VAST majority of fans (well, online fans) feel at the moment. It is no exaggeration, just take a look around social networks.

I personally didn't sing up to this show to see "two chicks getting it on" but Lauren and Bo's chemistry is unlike any other I've ever seen on television - and believe me, I'm no youngster - and while their "story" seem to have improved when compared to season 1, it's earth shattering to see how much time it's spent on Bo and Dyson's relationship and how the writers feel the need to constantly remind us that they are the love of each other's life. We aren't animals here, we don't need crumbs - we already get that in our everyday lives. All we're asking here is balance.

Bo and Lauren are popular because it is written beautifully enough to make fans care. Bo and Dyson, on the other hand, are nothing but a lame fabrication to appeal the mainstream media. They have not written a believable love story (friends with benefits to love of each others lives in ONE episode? seriously?), they are FORCING down our throats something that it is not there and expecting us to buy it. Well, it's not going to work.

I sincerely hope they are aware of what's at stake here and how the show could do something extremely groundbreaking - for once.

Kim said:

I enjoyed the comedy, but character continuity was way off...Lauren giving Bo the cold shoulder like that seemed completely off base considering how close they have become in recent episodes. Also Bo showing jealousy at the beginning for Dyson...Was she not adjusting to it?...Accually the whole notion that Bo would not want to go to the Dale for fear of running into Dyson and Kiera seems completely off considering how emoyionally strong Bo has become over the last episodes, it just did not feel true to character at all.

Meg said:

I would like to echo firesideteller's words above. I could not have expressed it more eloquently myself.

After getting past Bo dealing with losing Dyson in the first few episodes this season, I was pleased to see the Bo and Lauren side of the triangle finally gain some momentum, up to episode 8. I do believe that the Bo & Lauren relationship has been treated with care and respect up to that point, and credit goes to the writers and Anna and Zoie for conveying a real connection between Bo and Lauren.

After the milestone episode last week, which established how much these two characters mean to each other (the most obvious example involved Bo turning into Super Succubus when Lauren's life was at stake), it was disappointing to see Bo obsessing over Dyson yet again. After all, Bo appeared quite at ease with working with him on the case just last week, and now she is again an emotional wreck when we already dealt with that heavily in the first few eps of the season. I really hope that the rest of the season presents a more balanced triangle.

The episode certainly had its entertaining moments, and Zoie Palmer and Kris Holden-Reid were given a chance to shine. However, I thought that a body-swapping ep was a rare opportunity to delve deeper into each character and his/her relationships with the others. I felt that there was a little too much time spent on catching Raynard and furthering the plot of the week and not enough focus on exploring relationships between the regular characters, which was a missed opportunity.

November 22, 2011 8:40 PM

Joy said:

I was a bit dissappointed with the follow through from last episode to this one where we go from Lauren kissing Bo with a fierce passion to seeing her in this episode with Lauren giving Bo a brush off when Bo wanted to talk and get clear about what Lauren's intentions were. It is tough to watch sometimes when the writers of script make intentional rifts between the characters to create uncertainty.  From what I have seen, Lauren's response to Bo was totally out of character.  Did not Bo promise Lauren she would help to figure out this Nadian thing so Lauren could be free of the Ash?  Here we fine Lauren blowing off Bo and searching for answers on her own.  I'm confused here.

November 22, 2011 8:46 PM

Jenny said:

I feel like this episode focused NEEDLESSLY on the Dyson-Bo dynamic.  I really apreciated the initial focus of this season on the Bo-Lauren relationship.  We've seen Dyson love Bo; we've seen him pine over Bo.  YAWN.  To quote Dorthy Snarker of afterellen.com, "Less pinning, more boning."  MORE DR. HOTPANTS!

November 22, 2011 9:14 PM

Crys said:

The age old body swapping plot device! This cast makes it fantastic, and everyone seems to be handling accents very well too.

All that said, what's with the inconsistency between Lauren/Bo? I know writers have their favourites but  Lauren's behaviours (when she's herself) are indications of writing without communicating with others (mentioning Nadia doesn't cut it).

As a team Lauren person, i actually dont mind if Bo/wolf boy becomes the focus in other eps, or Kenzi, or Hale.... everyone has his/her stuff to sort out; and hey! i did have Bo/Lauren in ep 6. I love all characters and want to know more about them, but please people, consistency. We all have feelings towards our favs so when they are not the focus and have less screen time, treat them right.

And heck, was never a fan of Kristen Holden-Ried until now. That stoic, unexpressive face, coupled with alpha male tendency to be alpha does not suit him. Such a talented actor! I'd like him to do more than wolfing out in his macho way or brooding over Bo. Makes him worthy of the Bo competition people. The reason why so many love Lauren and are team Lauren is because Dyson's being a typical male, which is just boring for an intelligent viewer, gay or straight or in between.

Sheila said:

First I want to congratulate KHR for a wonderful depiction of Kenzi. Although the episode looked like a lot of fun for the actors, it just fell flat for me as a devoted fan. It resembled the odd filler episodes of last season where continuity was lost. When that happened last season a bit too often, I was prepared to toss in the towel. For what it is worth, I can tolerate these kinds of episodes as long as they are rare. Not sure what is going on with the love triangle either - it is just confusing now, perhaps this is intentional or it is a writer preference for one storyline or the other or for writing the character in a manner that suits individual taste. What I was really liking this season was the continuity week to week, it really made me excited to watch. I hope this is not a trend.

November 22, 2011 9:50 PM

Julie said:

Although not one of my favorite episodes, it definitely had its funny moments.  And great acting from Kris Holden-Ried (as Kenzi) and Zoie Palmer (as Raynard).  

I think you are doing well this season with the Bo - Dyson - triangle.  Seems more balanced than last season.  

And whoever ends up with Bo (if that will ever be resolved...  maybe you're just going to keep it going...  *wink*), I hope you continue to develop the characters of Dyson and Dr. Lauren in positive ways.  Such that they will no longer *need* to be defined by their relationship with Bo, even if it's all the more better when they are closely connected to her.  You've done a good job with all three characters so far.  Maybe even more of Lauren and Dyson helping each other and developing mutual trust and respect?  

In closing, I'd like to say I'm really glad you decided to make Dr. Lauren Lewis a regular character on the show.  She's definitely my favourite, and really the reason I started watching and continue to watch the show.  

Thanks.

This episode was like deja-vu to me, done too many times on other shows. And what is up with Lauren brushing Bo off like that.Writers if your intention is to make Lauren unsympathetic for the inevitable Bo and Dyson reunion, for crying out loud don't do it that way...that is nonesense

dollymentura said:

I appreciated the humour in the episode and the actors did a good job. But that being said, it felt a bit jarring in tone with the focus suddenly turning back to Bo/Dyson. The Bo/Lauren story these last few weeks has been lovely and really well done. Bo and Dyson being friends and working together was great, Bo and Lauren working through their issues -together-  was great. I understand the need for conflict etc in the storylines, but I felt hugely let down with the return of sadsack Bo and Dyson-and-Bo-true-love.

Obviously this is all subjective and I am biased (as every viewer is) by what I want to see and the relationships I am invested in within the story. Just wanted to add my voice to the crowd of us that was so pleased to see a viable female/female relationship being played out on tv.

November 22, 2011 10:06 PM

Although everyone of the cast did a great job on this funny ep, I must say that I was a little disappointed.

Not because it was a filler ep (i can do it, after all, it's always a pleasure to see this show); nor because we´ve lost the oportunity to see Lauren inside Dyson's skin/Vice Versa, and all the mess it should have been for Bo (though i'm still crying for it); or even not because we didn't see Lauren struggling with her mixed feelings in the limbo (and not instead eating her grandma's cheesecake - but for that, thanks we didn't see it at all!).

What was really disappointing was the complete lack of any coherence with the main storyline (and characters profiles) that has been developed in the past episodes. It reaaly seems that the writers just don't talk to each other before write the lines, and just think "ok, now it's my turn and i want Lauren like this, Bo like that, whatever..". That is totally frustrating.

So, i'm posting this comment because i do love the show, and i really believe that you guys can (and will) take more care of it for us. Just it, ok! ;)

KB said:

Beyond the fun the actors seemed to have in this epi, I do agree with others, the writing of Lauren, her lack of interaction with the other characters, her reaction to Bo's question about "the kiss" made zero sense - yeah I caught that she's beyond tired, apparently messing with dark magic stuff, obsessive, lives in a box and only gets out a few hours a day but the writing didn't work based on prior episodes.  It seemed disingenuous to the character's development so far and had me thinking "what did Lauren do to this writer???"  Lauren is an interesting character - her backstory with Dyson would be fun to find out about, trapping her with Kenzi, anything but the jarring writing in this epi.  

Beyond that - I'm fine with a show challenging the concept of love through a character as interesting as Bo - can you love two people - well, why not? it can suck (no pun intended) but should she have to settle? it's more fun and more drama to run with the various emotions and the back-and-forth.  And yes, I appreciate the truthful and relatively equal portrayal of Bo with both a man and a woman, a big "thanks" for rocking it and going there with no fear.  So I guess I would only ask for more @ss kicking on Bo's behalf - that is just plain fun.  

Keep it on track because it is a such a unique show -looking forward to the US premiere.

(ps, I'd have to take over Kenzi just to be brave enough to dress like her...)

What was with Lauren blowing off Bo? It was completely out of character and all the Bo and Dyson stuff...hadn't she moved on? Apart from the funny Kenzi/dyson scenes this episode is a fail.

November 22, 2011 11:22 PM

Nathan said:

Not a great episode. Some bits were funny but to have 3 episodes with Bo and Lauren's relationship in the forefront and then immediately ignore it (apart from 1 line of dialogue) is very weird and unsatisfying.

November 22, 2011 11:25 PM

KM said:

For a show that likes being compaired to Buffy and compairs itself to it as well, the writers fail to take into account that what Buffy did best was character devellopment and most especially CONTINUITY...this episode showed a complete disreguard for what happened previously, leaving me very frustrated. if you are going to do something at least make the effort to do it right. there were some funny bits but it seems to me no one actually sat down, read the script and said...whait that makes no sense.

This episode was crap (apart from funny Dyson and funny red neck Bo, mechanical bull and the acting of Zoie), utter crap. Disappointing and a B grade episode. Consistency in characters please - as if Lauren would give Bo the cold shoulder like that.

November 23, 2011 12:23 AM

Veronica said:

Right, so the only good things about the episode were Kris's acting as Kenzi, Ksenia as Dyson and Lauren telling Bo how good she looked. Other than that it was a kinda boring episode. I did not like the fact that Lauren was stuck in limbo for almost all the episode. Also, Lauren blowing off Bo was so out of character and also very rude! There's Bo trying to talk about things and sharing her feelings and Lauren just acts like it was nothing. So, no I did not like this episode that much.

Dear showcase,

most of us love the funny bits of the show but overall, it was dissapointing. simply because:

1st: we guessed everybody 'FEELINGS' but we were left in the dark abt lauren's!!>

2nd: bo and lauren hasnt still 'had the talk about the kiss' and lauren gave bo z cold shoulder!  what does this mean? >

3rd: y on earth did Kenzi shed light on dyson's feeling?? arrrgg..>

4th: why is bo and lauren's storyline being treated so unfairly(in comparison to bo and dyson)- >

btw, i loved z ending wiz z Ash head!! AND ALSO TERRIFIC ACTING FROM KENZI BEING DYSON AND VICE VERSA.

5th: y woods did not atleast say sumthg abt bo's feeling! he's been in her body for such a long time. and same applies to zat lunatic who posessed bo's body for a while!! y cudnt he say what's bo anger or desire!! >

The whole Bo and Dyson as the ultimate couple stuff is past, get writers who are able to let go of that and move on to other things in the story. You are revolutionizing Canadian television and as one of the overwhelmingly many Bo and Lauren fans that are out there, it would be nice to see you treat their relationship with the same sincerity. KHR KILLED IT as Kenzie this week... That was pretty much the best part of this episode. The biggest fail? Having Lauren completely brush off Bo's attempt to talk about that passionate kiss from the previous episode. Big mistake and completely out of character.

Avril said:

Thought the episode was a good laugh and I thought everyone acted really well, more so AS, KHR and ZP.

There are certain 'messy' parts i.e. Lauren's blow off attitude to Bo.

Would love to see a bit more of Trick and his backstory.

Lucas said:

It was an ok episode. Some part were really funny, but it didn't have the writing quality of the last episode. It's like not all the writers can channel every character just right. I didn't like how Lauren acted completely out of character, and I also had troubles with the continuity from the last episode. Bo was over Dyson, and now she wants his again, and all the awkwardness is back.  And why is Dyson empty inside, wasn't Ciara supposed to be his first true love ??

Now the most important thing.

CHANGE THE RATING BACK TO PG-14 AND BRING THE SEXY BACK. THIS IS A SHOW ABOUT A SUCCUBUS, NOT A MOPING ADOULT TEEN ;/

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME BO FED ??

Loved the kenzi dyson body swap,great acting by kris but to me this episode didn't fit in with the storyline at all.It didn't connect with me. Last episode Lauren kissed Bo,this week she blows her off? That was weird and out of character. overall not one of my favourite episodes.

November 23, 2011 3:36 AM

Ingi said:

I have mixed feelings about this episode, mainly because on the one hand, it was incredibly funny and a great way of showcasing all the actors' talents. On the other hand, however, it felt like a 'one step forward, two steps back'-situation when it comes to the Bo/Lauren/Dyson triangle.

I'm sure it has been said before, but Lauren's part in the triangle means so, so, so incredibly much to many women out there who, like me, look for shows to represent them and their struggles realistically (for once). Lost Girl may be a fantasy show, but it has done a lot to help us find that realistic portrayal of women falling in love with women.

My beef, if you will, with this episode was therefore the out-of-character behaviour of Bo and Lauren, who were growing so close, and Bo was being so mature with the Nadia-thing, and it was so clear that Lauren wants Nadia back but has also fallen for Bo, hard. Those notions were nowhere to be found in 2x09 - instead, Bo was consoling herself with a single life (I didn't know Lauren/Bo was over yet?) and pining for Dyson as soon as he was around...

I understand it is hard to write for a fandom that is so split into Bo/Dyson fans and Doccubus-fans, and the going back and forth would be okay so long as the writing was more consistent in terms of characer development. I hope we will see this return (because most episodes had it!) and of course, I also hope this show will realise the impact it could have if Bo/Lauren were to be its canon couple, the changes it could make in television land. It will take guts, but it will mean the world.

Anyway, end of rant. I love Lost Girl, and as long as Zoie Palmer is a regular as Dr. Hotpants I will probably be doing so. Here's to hoping she'll be on as the other half of everyone's favourite Succubus.

Love, Ingi

Here's what I liked:

- It was a really funny episode. KHR did a really good job of being Kenzi in Dyson's body, it also highlighted just how good Ksenia Solo is at delivering Kenzi's quips.

- Anna Silk's accent and portrayal of Raynard in Bo's body and the Bounty Hunter in Bo's body was awesome.

- Zoie Palmer's portrayal of Raynard in Lauren's body was creepy! (but in a good way).

- Seeing more of Trick is always very welcome!

What I didn't like:

- The inconsistent behavior of the characters from week to week is really jarring.

Last week Lauren seemed a step away from telling Bo how she felt about Bo, both seemed willing to die for the other. This week she goes from blurting out how good Bo looks to not being able to give her the time of day all in the span of under a minute. We all know how driven Lauren is to find a cure for PODia but given her feelings for Bo it seemed quite out of character for her to brush Bo off so carelessly.

Bo - she's gone from caring enough for Lauren that she would put her feelings for her aside to help her find a cure for Nadia and being on case with Dyson last week with no awkwardness at all between them, this week she seems to be back to mourning the loss of her relationship with him and feeling awkward being around him and his pretty girlfriend Ciara. And for someone who has been willing to single-handedly attack The Ash defending Lauren she seemed very unconcerned with Lauren's extended absence in Limbo.

Dyson - Kenzi enlightening us that Dyson is empty inside just further makes his character seem like a jerk. If he is "empty" inside, why is he in a relationship with Ciara? I realize it's supposed to highlight that his love for Bo was a great sacrifice to make but it doesn't help matters to end up implying he's with Ciara for no real reason at all. It's shades of his relationship with Bo, he supposedly cares a great deal for her and yet he flip flops between helping her and not being there for her when she needs him. His slate is wiped clean simply declaring his love for Bo. This season instead of just telling her how things are he again pulls Bo around and leaves her hanging.

Dear creators, cast ,and crew of LG ;

Thanks for the invitation to comment on this episode . I watch very few TV shows but I am passionate about this show.

This episode opened with a completely out of character response by Lauren to Bo's invitation to discuss some of their feelings . Sure Lauren's in a complicated and uncomfortable situation but she's never been a jerk.

Bad writing ,her response in no way connects with last weeks emotional finale between Bo and Lauren.This episode produced some laughs and some good acting from KHR and ZP ,but with more thoughtful body swap choices we could also have had more depth and emotional exchange between the characters.I have no doubt that this episode was a lot of fun for the cast to shoot , and I know a lot of fans welcomed the comic relief after some intense episodes.

I watch this show for the relationships and the humor. I have a forgiving eye when it comes to fight scenes, special effects and even some plot continuity gaffs but character consistency and integrity within the core cast and their relationships is a must, it's a deal breaker. I would refer you to Firesidetellers extremely eloquent comment above because I wouldn't change a word .

 This show has so much going for it. You've created a world with very little judgement ,really the only things that get judged are Kenzies occasional bouts of heavy drinking and some of the Fae's more literal feeding habits. Your characters sexual orientation and desires aren't labeled or judged which is incredibly refreshing. You past the Bechdel test  with flying colors . Your core cast are all well educated and very talented professionals, and you have very broad audience appeal. Old,young,male ,female ,gay,straight we all love this show. Bo's character is deceptively complicated and culturally subversive ,bi-sexual,non monogamous, polyamorous , it makes for interesting conversations with friends about possibilities and values etc. that just don't come up that often in conversation or that people find uncomfortable to discuss in the context of their real relationships or friends.

I am totally team Lauren and if we set aside for a moment the issues out side of the story line like concern about public acceptance which translates into ratings which equals money or concerns about taking on the challenges of writing for the characters of what would be a landmark couple,I don't see the dilemma . Your writers have already laid the ground work for Lauren to be the only believable choice here.

1. Bo clearly values intimate female friendship or there would be no Kenzie .

2. Given the very nature of Bo's character I think any attempt to write her as completely monogamous would be boring and a big fail. Loyal to the death yes , monogamous not likely.In season 1 we saw a Dyson that was demonstratively jealous, disrespectful of Lauren and in the relationship arena an extremely poor communicator. Lauren on the other hand seems to have a much better understanding of Bo as a complex person and a Succubus, openly stating in season2 that she accepts Bo's need to feed and demonstrating through her continued relationship with her that she's not particularly conflicted about it.

3. Although she now knows she's Fae Bo was raised as a human hence her affinity for them and one more thing she has in common with Lauren.Although it wasn't a surprise I'm disappointed by the resurrection of the Bo/Dyson story line simply on the grounds that it's  simplistic and predictable .

 You've got two very capable and talented actors in Zoie Palmer and Anna Silk . As actors they've set boundaries ,established trust and in  the words of Anna Silk they just 'go for it' whether  they're portraying emotional or physical intimacy. Not since Jenifer Beals and Laurel holloman  have chemistry, intelligence ,and talent come together so nicely . For the love of God ,don't waste it .

But if you can't step up to the plate could you focus on writing a dignified story line for Lauren.If their relationship has to end how about making it a mutual decision or better yet Laurens' call. Then get her a girlfriend so that we can all just try to forget this unfortunate plot line and move on.

sincerely ,Canadian Fan

This was madness!

Lauren isn't so cold-hearted. And Bo looking for Dyson again? Seriously?

I expected more.

But: The acting was very good (Zoie and KHR).

I often find bottle shows turn out rather well because they tend to put the protagonists in a restrictive environment and if the actors are good enough they shine.  KRH and Zoie Palmer were very funny especially considering they're the ones that usually tend to be the most serious characters on the show.  I also thought Anna Silk did well imitating the Woods bounty hunter but please don't let her ever wear that fringe again.  Downside, where did the Dyson/Bo awkwardness come from, they were working together last week, it felt like there'd been a timewarp in their relationship.  The Bo/Lauren relationship was odd too, Lauren tends to be an open wound with regard to Bo and now she's all 'sorry, I can't talk to you I have to go and return my library books to Trick.'  You've had her previously presented as highly vigilant with regard to Bo/Dyson, she might as well have been on the moon for all the notice she took of the dynamics in the bar. It's flaws like these that detract from what otherwise would be a highly entertaining episode.

Kenzi in Dyson: super awesome. super hilarious. Dyson in Kenzi: very well played. Annoying creepy girl / Fae war? super exciting. Psychotic Lauren: awesome acting. Something to whine about? sure --> Lauren blowing Bo off? completely out of character. Bo never stopped loving Dyson but whenever their feelings become a central theme (like in this ep), why is it that the Bo/Lauren relationship has to be treated like it's nothing suddenly. Last ep it meant the world, and know it's tossed away. It doesn't fit the characters well either. I'd love to see a triangle but take both relationships serious then. Now whenever Bo is whining over Dyson it's always at the cost and importance of Lauren. That's just not really fair imho.

That being said, I am super grateful for Bo/Lauren in the first place.

Although everyone of the cast did a great job on this funny ep, I must say that I was a little disappointed.

Not because it was a filler ep (i can do it, after all, it's always a pleasure to see this show); nor because we´ve lost the oportunity to see Lauren inside Dyson's skin/Vice Versa, and all the mess it would have been for the triangle (though i'm still crying for it); or even not because we didn't see Lauren struggling with her mixed feelings in the limbo (and not eating her grandma's cheesecake instead - but for that, thanks we didn't see it at all!).

What was really disappointing was the complete lack of any coherence with the main storyline (and characters profiles) that has been developed in the past episodes. It really seems that the writers just don't talk to each other before write the lines, instead just think "ok, now it's my turn and i want Lauren like this, Bo like that, whatever..". That is totally frustrating - and dangerous.

As you asked, that's my opinion, and i'm posting this 'cause i do love the show, and i really believe that you guys can (and will) take more care of it for us. Just it, ok! ;)

Dear Lost Girl Writers:

Sci-fi fans pay attention to details. We pay attention to who writes which episodes and follow writers we like from show to show. I realize that many of you think the fans only care about seeing their favorite actors from week to week.  Sci-fi fans are different. We care about both. Please keep this in mind and show us your best work. :)

As for this particular episode, there were clearly some missing scenes that were important for the viewer to go along with the story. What exactly has the new Ash done to Lauren and made her life so unlivable that she would brush Bo off like that? What made Bo behave as though Lauren had already left her (self help books, really?) when she had just kissed her fiercely in the last episode?  Without those scenes, it looked like the characters had been taken over by clones.  Dyson as Kenzi was very entertaining, and Lauren as Raynard almost killing the Ash was very satisfying, but the episode as a whole felt like filler.  A body switching episode should serve some purpose to the story and/or provide character development, for example, Kenzi finally understanding Lauren or Bo finding out something Trick has been keeping from her.

That said, Lost Girl is still the most amazing show in the world right now, and I am excitedly waiting for Sunday nights for each new episode. I love the romance between Bo/Lauren, and Anna & Zoie's chemistry is truly unparalleled.  I have been recommending the show to everyone I know. Please keep up the good work and fine tune the details.

Uh, am I the only one who's NOT feeling the while "Bo is the luurve of Dyson's life" here? O_o Heh. And the best part is, I'm not even on Team Lauren (I love the character of Lauren dearly, but when it comes to Bo's love life, I prefer her to be a free Succubus -- no attachment needed) so that's saying something.

Funny? yes for the most part. Character continuity?A complete and utter disaster. Mercifull Zeus have the writers sit down in a room together and communicate. How on earth do you expect the audience to stay invested in characters when they do not even act like themselves from one episode to the next.

That was without a doubt the funniest, best written episode ever of Lost Girl. I get that the Lauren Bo fans freak out if there's one second of non-doccubus time but c'mon, admit it, it was SO hilarious, so witty, and I for one and glad they haven't dropped the original triangle. Though now I sort of want Kenzi Dyson together, whats with that.

I concur with firesideteller and justjulie40: the writers may miss a significant opportunity to do some groundbreaking on television by not investing in Bo and Lauren's relationship. Take a risk on them or risk "jumping the shark."

great acting from some of the cast, but where is the story continuation? the writing of these "filler" epi,s is terrible at times , compared to last weeks epi, which had layers and layers to it ,and write by a brilliant writer, i dont no if its just me but i still dont see any sort of love triangle !? and still think its being made out that dyson is allways gonna be the end game, ?! and the consitency who the bo and lauren love story needs to be addressed last week they would of died for eachother ,and this week lauren wouldnt give bo the time of day, and by the looks of it bo was more intrested in dyson to, and lauren still needs to be in the episodes more , she is such a great character. but still love the show andwhen ther epi,s are well written its a magical show and proberbly the best on tv

It had good and funny moments but did not reflect past episodes in any way shape or form. Ok, I amend that it did reflect on episodes from the beginning of the season but completely neglected the last 3 or so. Excuse me, but could it be that the writers were not in their skins while writing this? I chalk it up to lazy writing. Lost Girl and its fans deserve more consideration TY

wtf said:

Who wrote this? I liked the comedy elements but it seems to me that whoever was responsable for writing the script has not been watching the show they were hired to write for. Please keep in mind that we can see continuity errors a mile away. In this episode Lauren did not act at all in character, and here we go again with the weepy pining Bo. Bo has grown this season and matured. So please be careful because witty diologue can only get you so far.

J said:

I must say, overall this episode was disappointing for me as well.

There were some entertaining parts none the less.

It had its good bits with the hilarity that was the Kenzi and Dyson swap, Lauren gone coco (still tickles me seeing those crazy faces) and Bo's redneck bounty hunter.

But I have to completely agreed with the point e.f made of the writers lack of communication. Be it intentional (maybe to get their views on each character's personality across) or not. This really damages the   of the characters and the storyline's development so far, while creating a lot of confusion and (on my part) annoyance for the fans.

My recommendations.

First: More Bo being sexy and badass. There was a time when she had weapons a plenty be to clean or to have awesome fight scenes. And from what we saw in season 1 she also got "hunger" fairly regular. Be to heal or not. Where did that go?

Second: Continuity is GOOD. If we see her make strides to move on from a pain and develop emotionally. Let it read into the episodes to follow. Unless other events introduce new reason to act differently, it just makes for a confusing and fractured storyline.

Third: More Lauren not being her out of character self Please! Simply put, she and Kenzi share the mantle of my favorite characters, so seeing less of her or her acting odd, cold and inconsiderate to Bo really irks me.

Sincerely J

Well, that looked like a lot of fun for the actors! Not so fun to watch. Those of us who are invested in the Bo/Lauren relationship are disappointed with the super snub Lauren gave Bo when she wanted to talk about the weirdness/fierceness of the last episodes kiss.

KHR nailed the Kenzie character- timing and all! Rick H is always good. Ksenia Solo got in some fun physical comedy as did Zoie Palmer. ZP chewed the scenery a little in the lab scene but I bought the crazy she was selling in the scene with the Ash. Anna Silk playing a hick trucker with bangs and a lick-and-stick tattoo was a stretch, but looked like she was having fun with it.

I get the feeling from this episode that the overall story arc includes, apparently, a succubus who can't get laid by either her boyfriend OR her girlfriend. I'm not an uber human succubus but even I can get that going on. Superheros are supposed to be, well, SUPER. And when the power they wield is sex- well...where is the sex?

Zoie Palmer and Anna Silk have good chemistry together. Anna Silk and KHR roll in the sheets really well together. Why not do both?

i agree with all the other here. it was a funny, well acted ep, but i didn´t like the hole lauren/bo/dyson dynamic.  everything is written so far, so i just let this commend as short as possible...

C said:

I'm glad that Dyson's feelings for Bo resurfaced. I would love to see what happens if/when Ciara finds out what went down between Dyson and Bo. That would really be an interesting episode to watch. I mean she already got mad at him when she saw them at the Dal and she wouldn't get off the his back about that photo she found. She seemed really jealous! :P I would also like to see how he really feels about Bo at this point of the season.

To be honest, i strongly dislike the character of Ciara. She's interfering to much with the love triangle. Dyson gave his love to Bo. He shouldn't be trying to replace her with this new girl. Like he said wolves mate for life. The show is based on the relationship between Lauren/Bo and Dyson/Bo and all of a sudden she shows up. I never thought i would say this but, i dislike Ciara more then i do Lauren.

sabina said:

First, i have to say that i love Lost Girl. I enjoy the unapologetic way the characters are written, the messes they get themselves into, the changes of heart and conflicted emotions they have. And although the sex content seems to have been toned down this season i have been really enjoying Bo's ever evolving character.

That said, this episode really didn't do it for me. I know it was a body swapping episode but it felt like everyone had been swapped for pod people long before any of them even got to the Dal. There was no consistency or continuity to the characters. It was completely out of character for Lauren to go from complimenting Bo one second to callously brushing off Bo like she didn't matter at all. Lauren has been conflicted and sometimes somewhat aloof but never inconsiderate and uncaring before. And never has she so completely disregargued Bo's feelings. Bo herself seem to have had a personality transplant. She was perfectly able to work with Dyson before so where did the sudden fear and ackwardness come from? It seems to me that the writers are completely uncapable of actually writing a love triangle, Bo burns hot and cold from ep to ep for no apparent reason. And why was no one at all worried that Lauren's body had gone to try and kill the Ash while her spirit was in limbo? Bo is supposed to at least care a lot for her, kenzi has been warming up to the doc and Trick is usually also on Lauren's side. Yet, a frail human goes up against a very powerful fae who doesn't like her much to begin with and couldn't care less if he kills her and no one bats an eyelid?

I'm team Lauren as i think it would suit the show better. With Lauren, Bo shines while with Dyson, she fades into shadow.

But even if Bo and Lauren aren't meant to be in the long run at least i expect the poor doc to be treated with due consideration.

There were some funny moments but this episode was a fail for me.

November 23, 2011 6:10 PM

Realcheerio said:

Wasn't Lauren rude to Bo because she's a) feeling weird she kissed Bo in front of her coma girlfriend and b) obsessed with waking up the coma gf (like Trick warned her, she's getting too deep). They've cast Nadia, it's obvious this is going to play out somehow. We don't get into Lauren's feelings because then she can remain a mystery, as she is to Bo. Also, KHR as Kenzi? Holy man, that was so funny, I didn't know his comic timing was so excellent. I loved it. Don't worry 'bout the haters. I want Lost girl around for ten seasons!

Psyro said:

I agree with pretty much everybody. This episode is by far the worst of the season for me. The writing was very poor. All of the actors are so talented and I feel like their talent has been wasted.

This could have been a very interesting episode. Sadly, all it did is confuse everybody. Lauren would never brush off Bo like that. There was no continuity at all with the last episodes.

I might be Team Lauren, but if you want to make Bo go back to Dyson, at least do it in a realistic way. Right now, Bo and Lauren have the best chemistry.

I think it's time you stopped focusing on the love triangle and actually tried to develop all of the characters. Make a choice and stick with it or you will lose the respect people have for this show.  

But I did love KHR and Ksenia. I kept watching just for them. Please, use the talent you have and write better characterization and plotline !

James said:

Overall, the episode was ok.  Of all the "body swap" stories that have already been done on other shows, this was neither the best nor the worst.

The only gripe I have is the inconsistency with Bo's character.  In the last episode she was a mature, confident, kicka$$ superhero.  In this episode she reverted back to a pre-pubescent little girl pining over her boy crush.  It's a bit annoying.

I love this show and this episode was really funny  and the acting of Zoie Palmer, Kris Holden-Ried and Kesnia Solo was GREAT but the rest of the episode was disappointing.

Lauren’s behaviour towards Bo was so out of character (and I mean the scene when Lauren was still in her body).  And Bo sitting in bed and reading a self-help book wasn’t very typical for her character either. I'm mean a succubus in bed is okay but not like this.

After the last few episodes I was happy to see some progress in Bo and Lauren’s relationship. And now it was all about Bo and Dyson again.

RW said:

No Adam, you are not the only one who does not understand how Bo is Dyson true lurrve. I don't care what Kenzi says I do not see it.

And writers it can not be stressed enough. Continuity please, you guys need to get together when your write these stories so the characters do not seem so off from one episode to next. That is just ridiculous.  

Oh writers, I thought Bo was succubus. Why has Bo been practically spayed this season. Where is that succubus hunger? The girl still needs eat. Oh, she needs to feed off Lauren doing one of those sexy times and she does not have to take a lot just enough.

Phalanges said:

So many feelings!

I am confused as to why the writers felt the need to end 2x08 with "THE" kiss and then have Lauren appear at the bar (of all places) to once again verbally confess her attraction to Bo, and within the blink of an eye have her act all distracted and nonchalant towards Bo.

I am beginning to resent Nadia. I say cut Nadia's life support already, Lauren leave the Ash finally tell Bo you love her, then work alongside Bo, Dyson and Hale as an Dr./ examiner of all things Fae.

I appreciate the writers hard work in trying to please everyone. It is not working for me this year. I continue to support the show because it is Canadian. Something is off this season and I can not put my finger on it. The relationship angle is one dimensional and it would be nice to have more dept in regards to the struggle to love 2 very diffeent people at the same time. We never get to understand what's behind Lauren's action. Her story need to be written better. We know Bo and Dyson, but we no not know the 3 perspective in relation to the struggle( light and dark fae).

Maybe the eposide does not seem connected and this timea round we are getting a quick solution for Nadia. I want to know why Lauren does not have a choice about serving. It can not just be about saving the girlfriend. Why is it that Bo Feed with Dyson but makes love with Lauren. Her passion and love are being divided. I that the point. Anyway, something is off and I would like to go back to the writing style that got this show actipon from US audiance. Stay true to the character, do not bring too many new people into the mix, and stay with the Bo, lauren, dyson theme. God luck, I am sure it is not an easy task.

This epi left a bad taste in my mouth. Bo/Lauren left me in limbo. WTH was that all about? I think the writers had sdome of that beer because the epi didn't make any sense at all. I think they want so much for T/B to happen that they are creating a big mess. Stick to the story will you. There is only one posibility in LG. Bo and Lauren. No doubt about it. Listen to the fans.

S.T said:

This episode was pretty funny but I agree with the lack of continuity. It's disparaging that we're going to forcefeed Bo/ Dyson as the OTP again. Writers, if you want to make this a show that is "different" and unique" stop focusing on the love triangle, because there's a whole lot of ideas that was set up. Like I'm really interested in Bo being the strongest fae, how she struggles to control her hunger, how she's a succubus but is trying to help people. And how will she free Lauren from the Ash, Bo's mother and the bizarre glimpse into the past that she killed Trick. I've seen "Twilight", "X-Files" and I'll stop watching if we're force-fed that Bo-Dyson is the ultimate true love. It's a copycat Buffy/Angel, but Buffy/Angel was written and developed better, no offense. In the end you writers should end it differently, either Bo ending up with Lauren (not the favorite, but at least it will be different...like Bella hooking up with Jacob) or Bo choosing neither team and both teams get a happy end, or Bo sacrficing herself ( from Buffy, but it was kinda bleak) or Bo taking over the world (bleak but definitely surprising. Anyway, I really enjoyed Trick and Lauren conversation and surprisingly, the little Dyson/Kenzi we got at the end. I've changed ships from Bo/Dyson to Kenzi/Dyson, they have amazing chemistry. Kenzi being the funny one and Dyson being the serious type would be great comedy and a great pairing/dynamic. Perhaps Bo could get with Lauren and try to figure a way it'll work, loving a human and not going succubus on her. Just a thought.

November 24, 2011 12:20 PM

Russh said:

Is Bo still a succubus or what? If she is a succubus why hell would she have to choose anyone? I find it hard to believe that a SUCCUBUS would be monogamous. Wolves and human would want monogamy with their mate but Bo is a SUCCUBUS. It seems very unhealthy for a SUCCUBUS and for the people she loves to be in a monogamous relationship. A SUCCUBUS should be more polyamorous than anything else. A monogamous SUCCUBUS is RIDULOUS.

I thought Hale and the actor that plays him, did a very good job in this episode, often Hale is pushed even further then Kenzi in the sidekick character slot so it was nice to see him get more then about three lines again. Thought the guest actors did a very good job as well, wouldn't mind seeing that Bounty hunter again, twas well acted.

November 24, 2011 1:03 PM

I agree with what Russh said. I don't think either Bo should be monogamous.

On a different note, I love the interaction between Lauren and Trick. It's great to see them working together.

Abeyna said:

I think that Lauren acted extremely OOC in the beginning of this episode in the way she completely blew Bo off. I'd like a little continuity please. Also can we just have a little bit more Bo/Lauren before we are force fed Bo/Dyson. I get it, Bo lurves him and "wolves mate for life" ,but they have thousands of years to be together while Lauren only has a good 60 at best. This show is not doing a good job of showing that the triangle is equal if everyone is already so sure that Bo/Dyson is end game. Which means Lost Girl will not be any different than the plethora of other shows where fans who ship a same sex couple gets screwed over. Oh I know a way that the show can make everyone happy.... Focus more on character development(preferably the development of the lovely Lauren Lewis) than the triangle, as you can see some are already being put off by the unfairness of it.

Episode was really great,some issues about Bo / Lauren are forgotten and suggests that writers are not inside of what is happening in série.Porque several issues are left in the air and remain there without any explanation to the fans who watch the show from the dia.Resolvam first the question of BL, for good or not, just give back to the fans and continuity in enrredo, which was fine up until just ignore important parts.

I think this show is great,but I would like to express myself in Castilian(spanish).

Esta serie es genial,en el sentido de que no he visto nunca una serie igual.No existen la comparaciones con otras series del estilo,por ser de distintas épocas.

El hecho de que la protagonista sea bisexual ya es un punto fuerte,y de que se vea normal las relaciones homosexuales,es un avance grande.Independientemente de que queramos que Bo acabe con Dyson o Lauren(yo pienso que acabará sola)el tema principal es la normalización de los distintos gustos sexuales y la originalidad de los personajes,de la trama en sí.Un mundo de fantasía,una serie diferente,divertida,con buenos actores,efectos,decorados,buen guión,...

Canadá siempre ha hecho buenos productos televisivos.Yo nunca he sido fan de nada,pero reconozco que Lost Girl,me ha enganchado.

This was not my kind of episode. I am familiar with this sort of gimmicky thing, having been a Xena Warrior Princess aficionado, but....I could do without it. It seems like I'm watching an acting class where the actors are tasking with "committing" to these wacky characters. The writing was nuts. I loooove Zoie Palmer, but she was so...creepy, and for me there is no "in a good way". I don't need to be thinking of Dr. Lewis like that. Y'all can do your scene studies on your own time. Now can we please have our show back? (Go Team Doccubus!)

O.k so I had posted something on here the first night the episode aired and it hasn't appeared. I loved this episode I thought it was really funny.

Although I like Lauren I am not a team Lauren fan and don't think that she and Bo could have a long lasting relationship. Bo wouldn't be able to remain monogamous with Lauren for fear of killing her and I am not sure if Lauren's partner Nadia would be willing to have Bo be a third in their relationship.  It wouldn't work unless it was Bo/Lauren/Dyson.

At least with Dyson being Fae he has the strength to feed Bo when she needs it, she doesn't have to worry as much about him not being able to take it.

Also I think that many are forgetting that even though Bo is a Succubus she was raised human with human values so she isn't going to as promiscuous as a normal Succubus is supposed to be. Also that she is more likely to believe in a monogamous relationship.

What I found interesting was Trick's reaction to when Bo said that the Nurne (sp?) Rouge had called her Isabeau.

As for Dyson I don't think that he really likes the other werewolf chick and is just in denial of the fact. At least until Kenzie pointed it out at the end.

loved, loved, LOVED KHR portrayal of Kenzie too funny.

All in all I was very happy with this episode and can't wait for the next one.

Bo is a tragedy in the making. She is destined to hurt. She loves a man who out of his own love for her can never love her back and he can never fully love another woman. She loves a woman who uses her and loves another woman more. You can talk team Dyson and team Lauren. You can talk about how it's a poor turn in the story line for the writers to focus on the unrequited love between Dyson and Bo. You can talk about how it's unfortunate that there's no strong female female partnerships in mainstream television. Personally I think it's more a social comment on how emotionally detached men tend to be in relationships and how manipulative women tend to be. Bo needs both to be the epidome of tragedy; it's a comment on her tolerant nature. That tragedy must be foiled by comedy. Enter Kenzie. More specifically in this episode, enter Kenzie as Dyson. One word...hilarious. Some may call this episode filler but I will call it pure fun. I think the actors did a fabulous job portraying characters not their own.

Although I'm super late, I just want to point out that I am not a fan of the Lauren/ Bo relationship. Maybe if it were another actress I could get be behind it but I just don't like Zoie Palmer. She just seems cold.

Nevertheless, I think Zoie was brilliant as Raynard and made me appreciate her as an actress a bit more. But I'm a sucker for an epic love story. I think we all know it wouldn't have worked out between Dyson and Bo, the main reason is that she is not the monogamous type. Even if the Norn hadn't taken away Dyson love for her, she eventually would have been bored with him and moved on to less committed more 'free' types of relationships.
