Lost Girl Season 2, Episode 18 - 'Fae-nted Love'

Monday, March 05, 2012 1:52 PM

In the beginning of this episode, we find out that Ryan isn't satisfied with something that a lot of other guys would kill for - to be used for sex by a beautiful woman. Despite not wanting their relationship to continue, Bo calls him for, well, let's say a "healing" session but then kicking him to the curb right after. Ryan showers her with gifts (and in a nice nod to the 1950's, singing telegrams) to try to get them back together, but to no avail.

Fast forward to this week's villain, a dark fae called an addonc. Kenzi's friend Tryst asks Bo and Kenzi to investigate a religious cult leader, who he believes is grifting from his granny. The duo goes to investigate, but he splashes water on Bo. Now, normally that's a somewhat juvenile attack that can easily be combated with a towel and/or a dryer.  But not in this case - as Trick explains, addoncs have the power to erase people's memory with water. The water reverts its victim to a childlike state, and, moreover, the victim is then compelled to do anything for the first person who does anything nice for them after they are affected.

After being splashed, Bo runs away from Kenzi, and aimlessly wanders the streets.  And guess who the first person she runs into is? That's right - Ryan. Charmer that he is, he's very quickly nice to Bo and she quickly re-falls for him. Still under the spell of the addonc's water, she even agrees to marry him. Apparently the pair believes that long engagements are for suckers, so they almost instantly run off to a dress shop, where Bo falls for one of the dress girls. Her memory still hazy at best, Bo realizes that this can't be a good sign for whatever previous relationship she had with Ryan, and she calls the wedding with off.

You can add persistence to Ryan's list of qualities, as he doesn't give up and instead tracks down the addonc and pays him to put Bo back under the water's spell and to marry them. Kenzi and Trick show up to try to stop the wedding (check out pictures of the festivities below), but are too late. At first Kenzi isn't all that upset -this is 2012 after all and getting divorced is always an option. But Trick then points out (he's always full of useful information) that fae don't believe in separating for at least 1,000 years.

So, what's the deal? Is Bo stuck with Ryan is or there a way out of it? What'll happen to the addonc and his cult? Plus, what's Dyson been up to in this episode (looking back I didn't even mention his subplot...)?  Find out now:

The show only works when the writers keep it simple and manage to integrate all major players in an episode. That's part of what made Lost Girl sucessful in the first place. Last night's episode - like most season 2 episodes - didn't achieve that.

I'm hoping against hope that this is the last we see of Ryan. His character has been completely useless on the show. What, was his only purpose to inform us that Bo's true power is yet unknown? Pretty sure we got that when Bo nearly killed everyone in a room because Lauren's life was in danger. All of his episodes have been unwatchable, mostly because that wonderful pacing that worked so many times before wasn't there. The writers seem completely and utterly incapable of writing for Bo's various love interests at once. So, because once again this was a Ryan heavy episode and they had to include Dyson for some reason that remains a mystery to me, they couldn't find room to develop Lauren's storyline? I don't think so.

Bo and Ryan's so called relationship doesn't work for the same reason Bo and Dyson's technically didn't: a) He tried to change her. b) She acts out of character when around him.

I personally believe 2 love interests is more than enough for Bo. She is a Succubus, not a teenager looking for love.  If the writers can't find a way to keep the show fresh with its 6 core rich characters and various relationships, then maybe it's time a new writing staff is brought in. It was great seeing Trick and Kenzi, I have always loved their bond. What about developing Lauren and Kenzi? Lauren and Dyson? It is like Bo's love interests are not allowed to have a storyline that doesn't revolve around Bo. Dyson's so called storyline this season? Still about Bo. Lauren and Nadia? Oh, yeah, still about Bo. So whenever that love interest spot is being filled by someone else - someone the audience doesn't give a damn about - the original regulars are given nothing to do. In fact, I would argue that Ryan got more screentime in 4  episodes than Lauren did all season and that is simply unacceptable to me as a viewer.

There are so many things wrong with the show but it all boils down to the unnecessary use of plot devices. Nate, Ryan, Ciara, Nadia, all of them love interests. Why? Did the back 9 really messed up the story arcs THAT much?  At least it is looking like Nadia might be more than a clingy girlfriend and it is sad that at this point it is the one storyline I'm actually looking forward to.

I honestly hope the writers are listening. I hope they  do read feedback, take notes and bring back the show we used to love in past episodes. I am not holding my breath, but I'll be more than happy to be surprised.

Ok so I have to agree.  It has been quite a disappointment this season.  I knew after I watched last night that there would be a lot of backlash.  I don't usually write, but I always read this.  There is nothing that can be done for this season, but I also hope the writers and producers read this and take note.  I fear that season 2 on SYFY will lose viewers because they have strayed away from what made the show good.  The main characters interminglong with story lines that brought them together.  That last scene with Bo and Trick just came out of left field.  Yes, we all think that Trick may be Bo's father but to throw that in there like that.  Like Bo wouldn't just come out and ask.  No, there is something coming, let's wait.  Get real.  Of course that reminds me of the time Lauren came back with Nadia from her trip and she told Dyson and Bo that she would help them after she dropped Nadia off.  What was she dropping her off in???  I hope you pay more attention to detail and concentrate more on the main characters and develop their relationships.  (I too like Bo and Lauren and yes I am straight) That is what Lost Girl is about.  I, as a Canadian, am still proud of the show and think that it is one of the best to ever come out of this country, but I am starting to lose interest and I really don't want to.  I will finish Season 2 and hope that Season 3 will be more like Season 1.  Hang in there fans.  Don't give up yet!

I enjoyed the end when Bo was very straight forward with Trick in saying she did not know exactly what happened with the sudden love from Ryan but she knew it had to do with the mixing of their blood and Trick better get ready for some straight up answering!

I am so sick and tired of the inconsistency. The main characters are partially developed then tossed to the side for fluff and filler episodes. If it's because the writers are doing write-arounds to accommodate actors side projects, then don't allow the mains to have side projects.

If it's because of an unskilled writing staff that changes from episode to episode then improve the writing staff. This show has the potential for a long run because it started out great and has/had great potential. It's up to TPTB to keep it going. It's not just a lack of Lauren, it's huge gaps and actions that are so out of character they're unbelievable. Lauren being so insensitive to Bo regarding Nadia is just one example. I still like he show and will watch, but they really need to clean up their act.

I wasn't feeling this episode at all.... besides Bo looking gorgeous in that wedding dress!!Why the hell would Bo remember everyone that is important to her expect Lauren..It doesn't make sense at all and i guess if she means nothing to her maybe AS and ZP need to be told to tone it down a little bit (which would be such a shame) because they definitely sell love!!!This writer is definitely my least favourite coz she just gave us another boring episode including my least fav ep211!!Feels like LG takes 1 step forward & 2 steps backwards..Ryan is boring and i dont really get what his job is.I terribly missed Lauren,Doccubus & my man Hale

Hale and Lauren were not in the last night's episode. I missed them but happy to see that Bo and Ryan is over. It seem to me that Aife turned Ryan into a thrall to get into BO. Whatever the reason was, I can't wait for the next episode. Bo is so pretty with the wedding dress. Thank God that Kenzi and Trick was able to save Bo from marrying Ryan, that could have been a disaster! I hope BO and Lauren will get back to each other and hope Nadia will not get killed. Just make her leave is find with me.

I am curious about the Garuda. Can you please add more actions and sword fighting. It would be great if Kenzi will also learn how to fight. She will be a cool side kick!

Can Bo/Lauren be happy together, see them in outdoor scenes? There is something or someone keep popping up and  blocking them to have fun together.

Poor Dyson ... his last word - he gotta go do a confession. That means he is keeping something to himself that makes him depress and unpleasant.  I will look forward to the next episode! I love LG - Bo- Kenzi and  Lauren ...

That's all what we'll see till the finale ? Episodes full off plots device story line ? And then .... in just 2 ep your writers will put all things that really matters on this show ? Well, as we have so many such "good" writers ... maybe I could wait for smt like that bullshit .This was ridiculous ...

And about Lauren`s stuff ,I just thought ... how some character that haven't screetime has so many secrets ?? Because her SL isn`t developed and then she`s important to the final battle .GAG me .

All big scenes about Lauren is just when she is being a liar or a traitress .I'm full off this **it ,tbh.

Some times I can`t believe that I sit on my ass to watch this shit every sunday ,till here .I really want a reason to stay watching it ,but I just haven't .And each episode made me believe that I can't stay in this leaky boat.

That writers are doing this so much wrong.

What is wrong with this series? It happens with lauren? is it not possible to develop a good story with all the elements that are already provided to us for the coming war and intrigue and the love story of Bo and Lauren?

I have come to the conclusion that the writers don't really know how to do this show anymore. They are just throwing ideas up in the air. The story doesn't make any sense anymore

To me this episode was quite disappointing and vapid. This season has generally been incredibly out of whack since after 2.10. 2.11 and 2.12 were mediocre at best, 2.13 was a good one again, 2.14 was the worst episode not just of this season, but of the show, and 2.15 wasn't much better either. 2.16 was really good and 2.17 was at least pretty good overall. Now, 2.18… Did I already mention it was disappointing and vapid?

What was the point of that annoying as hell character, Ryan? Apparently there was no point to him than to stirr the crap a bit between Bo and Kenzi (and even THAT apparently didn’t have any real consequences), annoy me to death and have more sceentime wasted on him in 4 episodes than Lauren had all season long. What we learned about Bo’s blood in this episode (which was sadly the most interesting thing about it) we could’ve just as well learned, if he had been a 1-episode guest. At least he’s gone now, and hopefully for good.

Where was Lauren?! I’ve never seen a tv show before in which an allegedly main character missed so many episodes and had this little screentime. Dyson didn’t have anything of substance to do all season long and they still always find a way to let Spongeboy suck up some screentime. Lauren’s story could’ve been fleshed out so, so much better this season and they did almost nothing of substance with it so far, while we had to keep watching Dyson do little else but be liverish and throw people sinister looks and have aggressive outbreaks here and there. Fabulous… :-(

Nadia… I love it when shows can make me care about their characters, but they completely failed to do that with her, given how they stuffed it all into a few episodes (Heck, not even a few episodes; a few minutes in a few episodes!), without developing the character and letting us get a feel for Lauren/Nadia before blowing everything up again. I couldn’t even give many cents, if Nadia dropped dead in the next episode (just like I didn’t care much about Ciara and won’t care about what happens with Nate), and that’s a big, giant missed opportunity and friggin’ sad really.

Guys, you have a bunch of wonderful original characters (incl. Trick and Hale of course; even Dyson has the potential to become an interesting character; hey, I said POTENTIAL… ;-) ) - work with them better. I think it’s safe to say we all want the show to work more with the characters we aleady love instead of wasting too much screentime on random guests we don’t and won’t care about. Like Nadia - and she’s not even just any random guest, she had the potential to be a really good character, but whom we never got to know well enough to be able to properly care about what happens with her.

I really hope there will be a better balance in season 3, that the writing will be more consistent and that the writers will be notified in time about how many episodes there will be (personally, I would love another 22-episode season; I’m hoping the writers would be able to manage it better, if they knew in time).

Instead of cleaning out the writers, why don't we clean out all the so called 'Canadian' 'fans' who hijack this board by posting every...single...episode complaining about how Lauren didn't make succubabies with Bo. Why do you watch the show if you hate is so much? If the people who make the show are reading your insane comments, I hope they're laughing at you. I love Lost Girl. Keep on keeping on.

Nina said:

Amen to Julie's post!  I agree whole-heartedly.  The writers are missing the chance to actually develop the core group of characters first before delving into new characters.  I don't even get the point of Ryan because the writers STILL didn't take the opportunity for us to really learn more about the dark Fae.

What about this impending DOOM that is looming over everyone's head? Can we at least move that along?

Dyson got lots of air-time in this episode too, but I found it *boring* and predictable.    Its an "adult" show but written for teenagers.  Please, challange us as an audience! Give us clues, proceed with an actual story arc and let us grapple with moral questions.

I like all the actors, and I think they do a great job with the lines and stories they're given.  If the show continues, its based on the cast, not the writers.

Christine said:

Refresh my memory isn't Lauren part of the main cast.  I am confused?  Why is she never part of the storyline.  She was not in episode 14 and 15 and now 18.  You minus well put her as a guest star and put Ryan in the main credits because he seems to get more face time than Lauren.  I love all the main characters, but this show seems to not think that Lauren is one of the main characters and give guest stars more airtime than her.  The show was O.k.  I wish this show at this point will start to focus on the main plot from here on out.  The filler episodes are killing me.  I notice that Dyson still has his storyline away from Bo and is in every episode.  Kenzi is in every episode (except one).  Trick who is not a main character is in every episode.  I would like to know more about the Doctor.  Where is her family and why haven't they tried to locate her.  There is a lot of unanswered questions regarding Bo and her powers.  I thought Lauren met something to Bo.  Obviously not because Bo remembered Kenzie, Trick and Dyson but not Lauren.  I just hope it gets better from here on out and that the good doctor is in at least the rest of the episodes.  It's obvious that the writers want Bo and Dyson to be endgame, but can we just get more Lauren one way or the other please.  (I still feel that Lauren and Bo have better chemistry) Thank you!!!!

What was this pile of crap, and shame on me for so looking forward to it after the break. Thought maybe Lost Girl was going to right itself and blow us all away with a great finish to the season. This was by far the worst episode yet. Seems like the writers are trying so hard to humanize Bo that they make her look cartoonish. This episode could have been plugged in anywhere in the season, Ryan just turns into a creepy stalker, instead of Dark Fae inventor, playboy creep. Not one minute of Lauren, Really, really?!

March 5, 2012 10:13 PM

GRRRRR!!!! said:

WTF?!!!  I can't believe Lauren is missing AGAIN!!  This is so FRUSTRATING!  I hate that she only gets 2-3min each episode then disappears completely!!  She needs to be featured more!!  More episodes for a longer period of time.  Is this asking too much?!!  I am so upset right now.  I am losing my patience very quickly!!!  AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!

Boring episode.

I really got bored of watching  Ryan trying to change Bo, just as Dyson did in the first season, so I never liked his relationship with Bo, it seemed boring and pointless. Where is Lauren? Please, gentlemen writers,  it seems to don't like you the character of Lauren,  you should exploit it more, I find Lauren character interesting and with lots of potential, rather than Dyson at the moment, who is unnecessary, really  I don't feel sorry for him, I have tired  his story and that every time you remember us that he gave his love for Bo.

The writers need to realize that Lauren is a popular character, most people love this character and her love story with Bo,  you should give more than that to the public. Please open your eyes and realize that.

After last episode I thought that the show was finally getting back to the main plot but this week’s episode proved I was wrong. It was just another brutal filler and the plot line barely moved forward. We all know that Bo loves Kenzi too much to be with Ryan so what was the point of bringing him back for this episode. He adds nothing to the plot line (though he's easy to look at). It was nice to see Kenzi and Bo working on something together again. We all love to hear their jokes and one-liners, something that season two has majorly lacked. Also Dyson need to shape up. I loved his character in the first season but he is just extremely depressing in season two its almost painful to watch. Every episode just confirms how bad his life is and how he will never be able to change it. It's brutal. At the end of this episode he leaves and although I hope he doesn’t leave the show all together I wouldn't mind if he left for a few episodes and then came back a happier person. I love this show but I'm becoming more and more disappointed with these crappy filler episodes. I think it can easily be restored to its former glory if they stop with the fillers and stick to the plot line.

Overall it was a good setup episode. We got more information on Bo and her powers. Dyson is working thinhs out. Trick is keeping more secrets, but his interactions with Kenzi are great.

Bo looked amazing in the wedding dress :)

Can't wait for next week.

Going to echo the sentiment that the writers seem unable to write a story for love interests that doesn't revolve around Bo. Which is a shame, because I think there is a lot of potential there with Dyson and Lauren, to really explore their lives and backstory, but it seems like everything just has to be about Bo and nothing else. I know Bo is the "Lost Girl," but certainly it wouldn't hurt to flesh out the other characters more? I feel like the only characters we really "know" are Bo and (somewhat) Kenzi. Who are Dyson, Lauren, Trick, and Hale? And everyone else? We only know a tiny part of who they are. I wish the show could be stripped back down to the main cast of S1 (which means getting rid of characters like Ryan, Nate, Ciara, and Nadia) and start exploring the characters we've already grown to love.

March 6, 2012 7:40 AM

Paul said:

Thank you to one and all staff and crew. I'm grateful for the effort you put into your trade. I hope you enjoy putting it all together as much as I enjoy watching.

A quick note about the supposed fans before mentioning anything about this last episode. You need to use your imagination a bit more. This fictional series is put together for us, the viewers, to use our imagination. They can't tell us how it all comes together, and how it all ends; what would be the purpose of that? It's a fantasy show. Try to figure out what will happen next. That's the whole reason behind this series, it's there to help you use your imagination and make up the next episode and see if you think like the writers.

Now about this episode.

Who attacked Bo, to cut her up so bad? And why. I'm wondering if the sword she was holding came from the Fae who has Nadia under a spell. Remember, Nadia seems to have a thing for knives and swords while in a trance.

It took me a second viewing to notice Bo's blood mixing with Ryan's. That explains the stronger infatuation he now has for her. I believe that is why he went as far as paying the addonc to make the  affliction on Bo, permanent. Lucky for Bo, she has friends like Kenzi and Trik to come to her rescue.

We were also introduced to Acher, the under-Fae.

He looks like a nasty one to have kicking around; specially after listening to him talking with Dyson about the fae who was found dead not long after being seen talking with Acher.

Time to put this information together.

1)  Dyson can't love anymore

2)  Hale's sister can take away voices

3)  Nadia is different after waking from her coma

4)  Ryan is infatuated with Bo and sends her gifts all  the time. The bracelet he gave Bo has a chip in it, and has an inscription inside it that means something special, according to him.

5)  Acher the under fae is put in prison by the Ash, for killing a light fae.

6)  Hale and Kenzi are friends. No more than that. She already has her man, Nate. Nothing will change that.

7)  Hale doesn't care for Dyson anymore, after catching Dyson with his sister in the wine cellar. I believe their friendship will return when "the war" comes.

8)  Trik promises to answer Bo's future questions with complete honesty.

        And now, my thoughts on how things will roll out in the near future on "Lost Girl".

All fae will battle alongside of one another when "the war" begins. (According to Bo and Hale, war is inevitable.) I think Nadia will be the cause of it all. Bo will need to defend Lauren from the possessed, Nadia.

She'll need help from Dyson. But first, the addonc will need to be captured and used to release Dyson from his "loveless" spell .  Because Trik won't have enough time to find the "special water" being so scarce and the time too short to look for more.

Once released romf the spell, he will have to take the addonc to see Acher, the under-Fae, so his power can never be used again. The addonc will be in the same cell as Acher and forced to listen to him. Acher can make anyone suicidal.  

Hale's sister will use her power to remove Acher's voice so he can't make anyone else commit suicide. Ryan will be imprisoned for Bo's safety.

And finally, Bo will find out Trik is actually her father. Giving us the reason why Ryan went head-over-heel over Bo, when her blood mixed with his. WE have to remember Trik can change the outcome of the future with his blood.

Dyson and Hale's friendship will return to what it has been for centuries. Bo gets her boyfriend back.

Then season three begins with new questions to be answered.

I can't wait to see how close I am to what the writers have as the second season finale.

I think the writers want to lose viewers because that is exactly what they are going for with episodes like this.

Three out of the last five episodes are without Lauren. So much for being a regular, it doesn't change a thing it seems. There is not even a good reason why she isn't there. Probably it is just the writer's incapability of writing for so many characters at the same time in the same episode, IDK. I do know that this show is going down the hill very fast. Two weeks ago my hope got renewed because 2.17 actually had potential. It actually showed what Lost Girl used to be. 2.18, not so much.

This episode seemed so random. The Harker Fae? Useless? The Douglas thingy? Useless. It didn't add something to the story arc of the big upcoming battle. Speaking of that battle...Lauren is supposed to be a part of that. Don't forget that writers. Keep a little continuity would ya? Thanks.

So yeah, if you guys continue to go this way, I won't be around when season 3 starts. This is not a show I want to watch. Please read this feedback and do something with it. Be that daring, groundbreaking show you pretend to be. I dare you.

March 6, 2012 9:43 AM

Janice said:

If you are really that daring and new, you would make Lauren and Bo endgame. When that happens you prove to be groundbreaking indeed.

My advice? Don't leave her out so many episodes.

March 6, 2012 9:45 AM

Megan said:

Would the Team Lauren people just stop already, Lauren is not an inportent enough character to be put in every episode. Lauren is just a minor character she had nothing to add to the episode so they didnt waste any time by putting her in. The show is about Bo and the people who are inportent to her, Kenzi her best friend, Dyson the love of her life, and Trick her father figure. Lauren is a friend but not a close one, the triangle was settled in season 1 Bo chose Dyson period. As soon as he gets his love back he and Bo can get back together and Lauren will go back to be the chick with the clip board.

Kris said:

I wish I could just quote Julie's comment, because that's exactly how I feel.

@Ulle, it's called feedback. If they weren't asking for feedback, this blog would have no use. The audience clearly isn't happy with the show - it has some major flaws and it does need improvement. Even Emmy nominated/awarded shows are susceptible to criticism. Lost Girl is a cult show that survives because of its passionate fanbase. If said passionate fanbase that has been supportive of the show from day one is no longer enjoying it, then there is clearly something wrong with the picture.

I believe people have been harsh on recent episodes because the writers really did not know what to do with the back 9 order. Looking back, early in the season, there were hardly any complaints; fans loved most episodes until the winter break came along. Season 2B has been nothing but a filler. Dyson was given absolutely nothing to do (something the actor himself criticized recently), Lauren was reduced to a mere guest star and Ryan (a completely new character with no ties to other characters and storylines whatsoever) is suddenly given regular status privileges - to name a few.

If you believe the show is above heaven and earth, it's your prerogative but it is far from perfect. In fact, I'd argue that as of now, it is far from good and you don't have to be Canadian (as I am) to be able to voice your opinion.  And for the record, I don't want Lauren to make "succubabies" with Bo every episode. Generalization is nothing but masked ignorance.

@Paul, Trick can't be Bo's father as we learned through Aife that the timeline doesn't add up.

@Megan, bitter much? DELUSIONAL much?

Filler episode. Looking forward to next weeks.

Janice said:

Lol, Megan, are we watching the same show? Lauren not a close friend? You are kidding, right? :) Bo chose Dyson? Wrong again. Lol, another show indeed.

March 6, 2012 11:24 AM

Jackson said:

Personally, I'm a guy and as much as I admit that Anna Silk is enough reason for me to keep watching... it isn't.  I miss what this show used to be.

Echoing the sentiment that the back 9 order killed this season. Let's see... the show returns with that travesty of an episode (14). Four episodes later, I can safely say only ONE episode has been watchable and really served its purpose - and that was episode 16.  I am being serious. If I had missed episodes 14-15 and went straight to 16, nothing would have changed. I'm sure the same is going to apply to this episode come next weeks.

Season 2 hasn't always been this trainwreck. With the exception of episode 12, I enjoyed the first half of the season immensely. Then the back 9 came... and... well... we've been through this. Here's hoping the writers have something special in store for the final episodes. We know they can deliver.

Megan, you sound like the perfect representative of this Team Dyson/Lauren nonsense. If we follow your brilliant train of thought, one can only conclude that Bo "chose" Dyson because she got her heart broken by Lauren in "Vexed", so, technically he was the rebound boy. But of course actual mature intelligent viewers didn't see it that way. The triangle is still on (as said by writers/producers/cast), Lauren is still very much integral to the show - Zoie Palmer is a regular cast member and you need quite a big dose of reality check if you believe this is a "love of your life" kind of show. This isn't Twilight.

I missed Lauren. No she's not the only reason I watch the show and no I don't want her and Bo to be making babies (babies in tv shows suck). I just want her to be an important part of the team. It's seems like every guest star gets more screen time than her. Ryan is obnoxious. I hope he's gone for good. I really wish you'd spend more time developing the main story arc instead of those boring filler episodes.

Thanks for making Bo remember everyone except Lauren btw. You sure know how to treat Doccubus fans with some respect.

I hope Dyson stays away for a couple of episodes. I'm so tired of his constant broodiness.

I agree with @Kris and I am personally so sick of it: generalization is not a good thing.

I'm not a crazy fan who wants every week its Doccubus part.

This is not the point, I love the entire show but it is exactly because of this love that I can write my complaints here, obviously without being rude.

It is not the absence of Lauren or the absence of the most interesting storyline (in my opinion, the "Nadia maybe possessed" one): it is the idiot plot involving Bo and Ryan, it is the ZERO time is actually using to explore the core relationships of the show (Bo/Lauren, Bo/Dyson, Bo/Trick, Kenzi/Lauren, Kenzi/Dyson, Lauren/Dyson etc etc.................), it is the boring behaviour of some characters. I am team Lauren, yes, but I like Dyson as a character, I think it is unforgivable what they did with him this season.

And, of course, at the end it is also the absence of Lauren...a clear declaration of suicide from the writers/producers cosidering how loved is the good doctor everywhere!!!

Please, keep back the real heart of the show and please...can we just move on with this f****ng Garuda storyline?????????

Megan, you should see the last episodes of season 1 and season 2. You are so wrong, girl. Bo didn't choose Dyson, do you see the same show?

@ Jess no Im not bitter Im tired of the three bitter team Lauren people that keep posting the same whiny crap every time lauren is not in an episode, they change names and claim to be this or that and use the same complaints, your not fooling anybody girls.

@ jackson, the producers are like politicians they say one thing to get you to believe in them but do another, I believe what I see Bo didnt even remember Lauren when she was thinking about the people she loved. Fact she thought of Kenzi, Dyson and Trick the only people that matter to her. How much of a bigger billboard do you need, Lauren is not an important character, why dont you build yourself a bridge and get over it.

March 6, 2012 1:09 PM

Jackson said:

@Megan, apparently, it wasn't the producers got you to believe that Dyson is the love of Bo's life. You are entitled to believe whatever suits your delusion better.   And your lack of interpretation skills is so apparent that you failed to notice that the blonde girl in the episode that Bo was attracted to and realized the couldn't marry Ryan because she had feelings for someone else actually meant to represent Lauren.  Of all episodes where Bo clearly cared deeply for Lauren and sacrificed a lot for her, you missed the one where we get a look into Bo's future and find out Dyson AND Lauren were the only two people Bo has ever loved. Ultimately, you only see what you want to see and your bias is clearly clouding your vision. So why don't you go back to your Twilight DVD's and get your happily ever after fairytale?

March 6, 2012 1:30 PM

Junie said:

@Megan - You have it all figured out, haven't you?

If you can't see that Bo cares about Lauren then you're the one who's delusional. Yes the writers sometimes forget Lauren exists, but that doesn't mean you can just forget episodes like 1.08, 2.06 - 2.08. Lauren is the first person who invoked the super-Bo for ****'s sake.

And Doccubus has the most fans. Yes the femslash pairing whose fans hardly ever get more than crumbs is the most popular one. Check any place on the internet and you'll know it's true. I suggest you deal with it.

Isn't it a bit unrealistic how Bo never confronted Trick about her true origins after Aife told her "Trick knows everything" in the season finale? Are we supposed to believe that only 19 episodes later she finds herself interested in that topic again?

As for the whole Bo-doesn't-care-about-Lauren nonsense, guess she must not care about Dyson either, considering she didn't move a muscle to fight for their epic love - after she tried to force him to love her again, that is.

The writing is inconsistent. Period. There hasn't been a single development in the Bo/Dyson relationship since the first half of the season; Lauren often acts like Bo never existed; Bo often acts like Lauren never existed; the writers often write like neither Dyson or Lauren exist. It's quite frustrating, really, but I am willing to cut them some slack because of the 22 episode order that clearly hurt their planning for the season.

I really like LG and I want to have at least 5 Seasons! But I can't get rid of the feeling, that the writers are not really sure what to do. The main story arc (garuda, upcoming war,...) ist interrupted by so called filler epiodes, which would be perfectly fine, if these episodes where used to shed some further light on the main characters. I would love to see 'fae of the week' episodes, where we could follow a main character (of course backed up by the team). Sent the characters on a journey, in which they get involved in some fae stuff, which is somehow connected/related/ stir up/touch (to) their background, history, emotions and let them develop(!). Let them face something (maybe) profound, and let the audience see the character's reaction to it, its struggle, its strenghts, whatever. I'm not really sure how to put it words...

Julie, the creative team should be aware of your comment because it describes everything that is wrong with the show at the moment.

Do the mods even do anything with the feedback that is given? Or are people simply using this space as a soap box?

Doccubus may not not have the most fans but they are certainly the most insane and, as we all know, post again and again under different names.  I'm sorry your ship isn't coming in fast enough, but welcome to television. The show you want, which is apparently the show where Bo and Lauren sit on the couch staring adoringly into each other's eyes while eating cookies is not a show ninety percent of us would watch.  I am team Bo and  don't care who she ends up with. The show is about more than competing ships and woe is the day the producers think otherwise. Really looking forward to the last few episodes.

Well, this episode served both as a filler and as a lead into the finale.  The promos for the contest are everywhere, and I'd love to participate and get a chance to see it all first hand but I'm not sure about this season too.  There have been a couple of great episodes this season, full of harmony and feel good freindship. I think there are some writers that can create a flow and a few that go totally off base, if we're feeling let down just remember the hard work the actors have to put in to get the scences right.  I think there are times where "main" characters are off doing other gigs and the writers are managing story lines that can't be totally devoted to the show itself, giving us fillers.  Bo is the main charater and Dyson, (sexy wolfman), and Lauren, (sexy human), are always Bo's love and painful untouchables...Kenzi (sista from another mista), is the BFF for Bo no matter what.  Hale and Trick are her "family protectors"."Godfathers" if you will.  Its just hard to see this right now because of the inconsistancy in the characters stories. Looks like something will hit the fan next episode, if the promo is right...I find the written discriptions misleading to the actual show too..writers...go figure.  

Is that what happens to a series when you get picked up for a 3rd season and then by a well know US channel like syfi?  Sure hope viewers don't drop after this season, I still like the possibility that these characters are Family and will make it through anything...makes me wonder what next season's plot will take on once we're done with the Garuda!

Anyway, let's all just try to hang in there, for Bo's sake, and Lauren, and Dyson, and Kenzi, and Tirck and Hale and Lauchlan...yes even him...unless Bo becomes ASH ! wahahahaha!

@mpleaf what happens in the promo for ep 19?

March 6, 2012 3:05 PM

Kate said:

Not impressed. I know that we are slowly starting to build to the big showdown at the end of the season (war, anyone?), but this episode served no purpose whatsoever other than  serve as an opportunity for Bo to have closure with Ryan.

Bring back Lauren and Hale next week. And bring back the Dyson we all know and love! That boring whiny wolf we have been seeing for months now certainly isn't him. I can't wait til he gets his feelings for Bo back.

Cheers!

That was too good to be true. Episodes 16 and 17 were really enjoyable, people didn't even complain as much over here (shocking, I know). Then came episode 18...

I really didn't want to, but I have to agree with some that the writers simply can't write the show when there is a love interest for Bo that isn't Lauren and Dyson.  What was the purpose of Ryan's character, exactly? To further ruin Dyson's character by giving him that awful storyline? To resort Zoie Palmer to a mere guest star?

Since you're all talking about Lauren, let's talk about Dyson: I absolutely love the guy. I don't know exactly where the show went wrong with him. Possibly when they introduced that moronic "wolves mate for life" bull****. Now that Dyson lost his ability to love (Bo) suddenly that character I fell in love with no longer exists. I loved him in a few episodes this season, particularly in the first half. It all went downhill when he went to see The Norn again. He now does nothing but frown! Why isn't he doing something about it? Why isn't Bo?  The lack of consistency/continuity on this show is appalling.

Lauren fans have it easy. I'd personally rather not see Dyson than to have to sit through the assassination of his character week after week.

I really like Lost Girl.  Not going to say much about this episode, don't hate Ryan, don't hate Dyson, I'm straight and would quite like one of the guys to actually impact.  Don't think they're without chemistry but there's sex but no sexual tension.  Don't feel everyone needs to be in every episode either.   Filler episodes can be cute.  Too many can be irritating.    

Lauren is my favourite character and the most explicit example of why cartoon heroism doesn't work when you've got a really crap deal. I think this is missed by some.  She has the most conflicted role in the show, not Bo.  I think she's needed for the big drama.

What I haven't liked is the splitting of our LG family.  If this is Garuda plot I'll tip my hat.  I'm really thinking ... four episodes left, glimpses of an arc, not a one episode finale ... please!!!!

I reiterate, engaging characters why aren't you using them, if you get a 22 episode call for Season 3 please spend some time thinking about your characters and cohesive plotting not just throwing another bunch of people into the doc/dyson bloc plot you've really got a goldmine in cultworld, I love the possibilities of LG world, I'm just grasping to connect the vague dots.

I didn't see my earlier post so I'll try again...

RE-READ THE VERY FIRST POST.  I agree with Julie.

LAUREN NEEDS TO BE TREATED AS A MAJOR CHARACTER IN THIS SERIES!  I don't care if people here are sick of hearing it, I'll say it over and over again for as long as it takes.  I am sick and tired of settling for 2-3min per episode or Lauren missing from entire episodes altogether.  It's INFURIATING!!  This needs to change in season 3!!  I don't care what you need to do... rework ZP's contract... get her to commit to more episodes... re-evaluate... re-write... WHATEVER!... just CHANGE IT!!!

CHARACTERS CAN LIVE OUTSIDE OF BO.  Again, reiterating what Julie posted, I'd like to see characters have a storyline outside of their relationship with Bo.  I'd like to see the other cast members relating to each other.  Look at the other comments on this site.  They like Kenzi/Trick working together.  We rarely get to see the rest of the cast working together.  We need more of that.  Bo is in almost every scene in every episode.  So much so that I'm on the verge of getting really fed up of seeing the star of the show -- and that's never good.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.  This episode did nothing IMO to further enrich any one character or the world in which they reside.  I feel we spent too much WASTED time on this Ryan character & other non-essential storylines when it could have been used to learn more about Lauren and Nadia's relationship.  This relationship had such a profound effect on season two's story arc but yet is tossed aside like it doesn't matter -- AND I'M A DOCCUBUS FAN!!!

Dyson looked destroyed at the end of this episode. The

warrior is no longer able to fight the garruda . He has lost Hale and Bo and now himself . The war is happening now . Slowly the best fighters are distracted or near ruin . Bo's abilities are supposed to be the weapon oF choice and she hasn't noticed Nadia's strangeness nor Dyson's need . All is smoke and mirrors . Looking forward to some resolution and to know more of Trick , Hale , Kenzi and yes even Lauren .

I really liked parts of this episode; always love it when Kenzi & Trick team-up & bond & Dyson's spiral into despair was painful to watch - the lone wolf riding away at the end made me sad.  Didn't really know what the gig was with Bo & Ryan, but that whole scenario involving them seemed kinda surreal.  Though fae marriage is tough.  *lol*

The group seems to be fracturing when they need to be strong to face the Garuda, what will the last 4 episodes bring?  I want the team unity back, I really have missed that these last few episodes.

And to those complaining about a lack of Lauren - has it occured to you guys that Zoie Palmer may have been simply unavailable for filming because she was commited to other projects before the extra 9 episodes were ordered by Showcase.ca?  Criticizing the writers when they had to create more episodes to a season that was only originally 13 episodes long is kinda harsh.  And no, I'm not a Lauren hater, I'm on Team Doccubus (& on Team Dyson too for that matter).

So to Showcase.ca, please just order 22 episodes for season 3.  That way the cast & crew can have a nice long run of scripting & filming.  Thank you!  ^_____^

I agree ryan was a total waste of time! highly smug and totally irritating i agree episode fillers. Dyson character is lost im guessing the he will have to get his love back for bo fairly soon or his character will be of no use he looks defeated.

I liked bo/dyson but agree Lauren & bo have the chemistry on screen for sure you can feel the tension at times and thats why lauren time should be a lot more, again like everyone else i cldn't believe they had left lauren out again.

But im not gonna cry about it i just wanted to express how suprised i was after her missing out on the few episodes b4.

I did enjoy ep17 i hale and kenzi have a great friendship which is really funny at times also you got to see more of where hale comes from.

Now nadia with the knife well defo garruda linked remember in tricks trance the dude tasted tricks blood nadia tasting blood hmm.

Maybe the former ash cursed her because he knew of her link to the garruda. Roll on next epiosde

Hi all, read all the entries and most seem to understand that the writers appear to be working with the actors while working on the main story. The whole story is aout a Sucubus, no vampires or wolves etc, and not Lauren or Dyson, Trick or Hale and Kenzi, THEY support Bo, and she needs to be in Every episode. I too miss Lauren and Hale and Dyson etc when they aren't there for Bo.  Yes they can have their own lives, but that's not what this show is about, that's a sitcom or soap opera...

I sense that people are forgetting that the Garuda feeds off of anger.  Bo's stirring up some anger with her friends and the Garuda will harm them now...look at the next episode preview, Bo with knife in hand at Nadia...then it states that the Garuda takes it's first victim...hummm. Bo to the rescue?!  Nadia's anger is making her a victim...who next Dyson...he's angry, Kenzi..seems ok so far...Lauren is she angry with Bo..no angry friends or else..Great writing, I'm staying with Lost Girl all the way!! Can't wait to see more...22 episodes next season is NOT ENOUGH!!

I really don't know what to write that hasn't been already been posted. Julie's comment, in particular, reflects my emotions and opinions almost perfectly. Writers: I implore you to read these comments and use everyone's feedback to help make this show amazing again!

As a side note, it's pretty amusing to read some of the anti-Doccubus posts. I happen to be from the United States, but I've been following Lost Girl since the Canadian release of Season 1. I personally love both Dyson and Lauren, and support both pairings (although I'm also a Dyson/Kenzi fan). However, Doccubus is by far the fan-favorite pairing, and I think it's hilarious that people assume it's only shipped by a handful of individuals. I mean, Doccubus won a Best TV Couple contest, didn't it? If that's not a reflection of its popularity, I'm not sure what is. Saying that two or three people take on different aliases to promote Bo/Lauren is just ridiculous. I also find it amusing that some posters are saying that only Dyson has suffered from "character assassination". In my opinion, every single character this season has been ruined in some way (some more than others). Dyson's character has certainly been thrown into the blender--there's no arguing that--but Lauren's character has also suffered. Heck, even Bo hasn't been spared from OOC writing, and she's the main focus of the show!

That being said, some pro-Doccubus posts are just as bad. Why can't we all form arguments and opinions like intelligent human beings? Simply writing "no lauren?! u suck!!1" isn't constructive at all. I understand your frustration, but please try to be mature.
