Lost Girl: Season 2 Questions, Answered
You asked, I rambled. How do you see masculinity dealt with on Lost Girl? Dyson, in particular, is a difficult character in this regard. KHR recently mentioned that Dyson would be “neutered” in season 4. This obviously impulsive statement makes clear the deep unease that surrounds and permeates Dyson as a character. This is a … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 2, Episode 22, Flesh and Blood
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Besides not being a pun, I’m speculating last episode’s title is supposed to signify not just facing the dark, and not just a shaky alliance with Dark fae, but Bo’s literal start of transformation Into The Dark. As Lauren notes, Bo is more powerful than … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season Two Overview, PI Tamsin, and Your Questions Wanted
The original plan was to have a Lost Girl recap post at the end of the Season 2, where I talked about writers and directors and stylistic choices and the like. I feel, however, I’ve spread out a lot of what I wanted to say over the episode reviews. Thus, I’d like to open this … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 2, Episode 21, “Into the Dark”
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. In talking about the ways in which “Lachlan’s Gambit” didn’t work, I also touched on the ways and reasons this episode worked. Focus on interpersonal issues, characters interacting, avoiding the Big Showdown Scenes which in which budget couldn’t deliver on hype: it does everything we … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 2, Episode 20, Lachlan’s Gambit
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. It’s been pointed out that I give Lost Girl a pass sometimes. At this point in my career, I’ve worked on mostly low-budget sets. Even the SAG-approved, big-network, name-actors shows I’ve worked on have had to get incredibly creative when it comes to workarounds. A … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 02, Episode 19, “Truth and Consequences”
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Buckle in and hold on tight, because everything’s about to escalate. Maybe even warp speed past a couple crucial steps. Two episodes ago, Kenzi and Nate said the four-letter word, and Nadia cut her hand and got a funny look on her face over the … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 02, Episode 18, “Fae-nted Love”
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. I love how this episode brings back the idea of blood’s enthrallment, ‘the power in the blood,’ and goes from being a weird Ryan sidetrack to exploring how Bo could be a demigod if she put her mind to it. I hate how this episode turns Bo … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 2, Episode 17, The Girl Who Fae’d With Fire
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. One of Lost Girl‘s running sight gags is Bo pulling her knife on guys. Specifically Lachlan, when he’s waving his Ashhood about. This episode starts with two girls crossing swords, and almost stabbing an alarmed Nate with one. It’s more about their bluster and Kenzi’s … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 2, Episode 16, School’s Out
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Immediately upon discovering the premise for this episode, I groaned. Adults undercover, school dance, hot for teacher, Romeo and Juliet; I love episodes which play on tropes, but the back-to-high-school thing is ohmygosh so overdone. And indeed, all the big things are fairly predictable. It’s … Continue reading
Lost Girl: Season 2, Episode 15, Table for Fae
You know the drill. Possible spoilers through 03.13. All reviews here. Pay attention in this opening scene, because three things – ranging in subtlety from ‘fairly’ to ‘not even a little bit’ – happen which will have bearing on the closing scene. And yes, the above picture is one of them. Bo and Kenzi get excited … Continue reading
