Lost Girl: Season 1 Wrap Up, A Brief Look Forward
I’m wrapping up the Season 1 recaps with a season overview, as I will for S2 and S3, but first a note: Season 4 will be premiering in November. Simple math shows there aren’t enough Mondays between now and then to catch up on all the episodes between here and where I started recapping. My … Continue reading

Editor’s note: You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Trigger warning: frank discussion of rape and sexual assault. While most of LG speaks about assault in metaphors, I’m talking about Aife’s rape of Dyson quite literally. If you wish to skip this section, you can resume reading after the picture of Kenzi reading. … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 1, Episode 12, (Dis)Members Only
Editor’s note: You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. The episode opens on Hale and Dyson planning an uber-‘masculine’ activity: not just a hunting trip, a BEAR hunting trip, in which Dyson will be sure and stay away from hunters and all their ‘rifle action.’ On cue, Bo comes in to make a … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 01, Episode 11, Faetal Justice
Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. The episode opens in Vex’s bar with so much testosterone, it’s almost tangible. Threats, pushing, literal growling. Dyson snarls, thanks Vex sarcastically for the drink, and leaves. Jump to an ominous shot by the light of a flickering streetlamp outside the clubhouse. Turns out it’s not just predicting Dyson’s … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 1, Episode 10, The Mourning After
Definite spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Mints, chocolate chip cookies, a manicure kit, nail polish, weapons, angry music, and pinot. This is obviously Kenzi’s heartbreak first aid kit, and Bo is getting familiar with it. Oh, and pizza and ‘weapon waxing.’ Sounds about right. The jump cut is a couple kissing in an alley. Why … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 01, Episode 09, Fae Day
Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. If you’re a succubus who is emotionally, sexually, and personally frustrated, how do you work it out? Pre-dawn calisthenics, of course. The sword-swinging is one of the few times we see Bo practicing weaponry skills, and it suggests she does this often, so her later fights will be believable. … Continue reading

Lost Girl: Season 01, Episode 08, Vexed (as canon)
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. As this episode functions not only as the season lynchpin, but also the series pilot, I’m doing my first-ever double-review. ‘Vexed: The Pilot’ is coming Thursday. UPDATE: ‘How Vexed Works As The Perfect Pilot’ is here. This episode opens with physical violence, Dyson striking his … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 01, Episode 07, “ArachnoFaebia”
Editor’s note: You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Often we don’t give network episodic TV enough credit for the subtle foreshadowing and story arcs it does. Possibly this is because most of the time it’s not subtle, we’re introduced to a conflict on one scene, it comes to a head in the … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 01 Episode 06, Food for Thought
Editor’s note: You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Open on Bo’s dilemma: to wear black ruffled, black sparkly, or black sheer to her doctor’s appointment? And by ‘doctor’s appointment’ she means ‘session of insane sexual tension.’ This episode and the next two are where Lauren really gets established. We see her inside … Continue reading
