I was going to write a more thorough breakdown, but then I was invited to talk to Drinks at the Dal in their season overview podcast (which you can watch live this Sunday and/or listen to later). We’re going to talk about structure and pacing and motifs and color and character arcs and all those sorts … Continue reading →

Lost Girl: Season 4, Episode 12, Origin

Lost Girl has finally snapped my mind like a twig. I have no words. Which of course means I will continue to ramble for several thousand words. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Lost Girl Season 4: Utterly Random Projections

Posted by Melanie on November 10, 2013 · 8 Comments 

Perhaps it should be called ‘mostly baseless’ rather than ‘utterly random,’ but that’s what you get when you publish working titles. Before Season 4 airs tonight, I and friend-of-blog Dale (who has guest-reviewed an episode, too) sat down and wildly speculated about what may go down.  1.
