Lost Girl - Season 3 - Press Release

17 Apr 2012

Share on Reddit
Thanks to Nadia for the heads up.

Prodigy Pictures, in association with Shaw Media, announces start of principle photography on the third season of Lost Girl. Production will take place in studio and on location in Toronto.

After becoming a supernatural success in its first season, Lost Girl returned to Showcase with a stellar sophomore season heating up winter as the channel’s #1 ranking program.* Kicking it up a notch for season two, Lost Girl had its first-ever Pre-Show that aired before the phenomenal finale. Owning the #1 spot, the season two finale rated highest amongst all Specialty programming for the night winning all key demographics.**

Slated to premiere on Showcase this fall, season three promises more twists and turns for TV’s favourite succubus, “Bo” (Anna Silk: Being Erica, Billable Hours). This season sees Bo make a romantic choice, but finds the road to commitment riddled with obstacles. Throughout the season, unexpected jeopardy stalks Bo and those she cares about. Though Bo battles many foes, her greatest enemy will prove to be the one that resides within her.

Returning for season three is Kris Holden-Ried (Ben Hur, The Tudors, Underworld 4) as “Dyson”; Ksenia Solo (Life Unexpected; Black Swan) as “Kenzi”; Zoie Palmer (The Guard, Instant Star, XIII) as “Lauren”; Rick Howland (Billable Hours, Murdoch Mysteries) as “Trick” and K.C. Collins (Owning Mahowny, Doomstown) as “Hale”.

Joining the Lost Girl cast this season is (Rachel Skarsten: The Vow; Flashpoint; Birds of Prey) in a recurring role as “Tamsin”, a thrill-seeking, sexy new Fae who ruffles many feathers. Emmanuelle Vaugier (Two and a Half Men, Covert Affairs, Human Target) will reprise her role as “The Morrigan”, the leader of the Dark Fae.

“We’re really looking forward to delivering another electrifying season,” said Jay Firestone, Executive Producer. “Viewers will see a side of Bo that they haven’t seen before.”

Lost Girl was developed by Prodigy Pictures, in association with Shaw Media and Showcase. Executive Producers are Jay Firestone, Emily Andras, Plato Fountidakis, and Paul Rapovski. James Thorpe is Co-Executive Producer, Vanessa Piazza is Co-Producer and Wanda Chaffey is Producer.
Lost Girl is produced with the participation of the Canadian Media Fund created by the Government of Canada and the Canadian cable industry, and with the assistance of the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit Program.

  1. Grrr.  STILL no official word on whether season three is 13 or 22 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Didn't Bo already do the road to commitment in Season 1? 

    ReplyDelete
  3. That's what I'm worried about.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Considering it lasted for about 2 episodes and that wasn't exactly the focus, I don't think it counts. I suppose she is [finally] going to date Lauren and that is going to be particularly difficult because she is human. A monogamous relationship is definitely not going to happen, so I wonder how they are going to write it this time around.

    ReplyDelete
  5.  Yes, she did.  I think it's a poor choice of words on their part.  They most likely meant to convey that the show will be exploring how a succubus works within the framework of a committed relationship.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I guess the committed relationship will be with Lauren?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Wish Bo would stay w/Dyson.  The both of them together is Hot Hot Hot.  Dyson is my number 1 werewolf on TV.  WowZa!!!! 

    ReplyDelete
  8. unless they throw continuity out the window, it should be.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Unfortunately it looks like it. A season of Lauren? Like the back 9 with everybody off on their own side paths wasn't bad enough. The producers are really going to have to find a way to find her into the group.

    ReplyDelete
  10. It actually lasted about a day before Aoife attacked Dyson and everything went to h---.

    I actually think they are going to write a monogamous relationship because 1) that's what committed means and 2) that's what Bo's always asked for from her partners

    ReplyDelete
  11. Season 3 is not looking up afterall. :-(

    ReplyDelete
  12.  How is Lauren not a part of the group already?  She fits in just fine with the exception of the tension between her and Dyson.

    ReplyDelete
  13. it's probably going to last another 2 episodes. I wonder what's the point. is it for bo to realize that she can't be monogamous? or will their issues come from the darkness within bo?

    ReplyDelete
  14. exactly. in fact, I actually liked lauren and dyson's interactions in the second season (all... 3 of them?). I hope they don't ruin that next season. 

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't mind that not everyone in the group gets along with each other so well, so I hope they keep that tension as well.

    ReplyDelete
  16. When has she ever had a conversation with Hale? Made friends with Kenzi? They stick her in a scene and she holds down a corner of the room or isolates Bo. If she suddenly starts playing pool with Kenzi I will freak out, but still the rest of the group doesn't have a relationship with Lauren and if they are going to put her in there she needs to make friends.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think that tension will always be there because of Bo, but I like their relationship better when they are being civil, instead of acting like 2 women fighting over a man, like they did in season 1.

    ReplyDelete
  18. The last couple were so out of left field and completely forced. I hate it when the writing staff doesn't pay attention to the words they are using. Lauren coming over to comfort Dyson at Ciara's funeral was a fine idea, but "you don't have to pretend with me" was so oblivious that I hit the ceiling.

    ReplyDelete
  19.  Season 3 is looking AWESOME!

    ReplyDelete
  20.  When has Hale ever done anything with Bo that wasn't related to a case or Fae business?  When does anyone just hang out with Trick?  Dyson spend the second half of the season completely isolating and alienating himself from everyone on the show.  Does that mean he isn't really a part of the group either?  Not everyone in the group are best buddies but that doesn't make them any less a part of the group.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Lauren and Kenzi relationship has evolved Kenzi stopped hating her and recently saved her life
    Trick goes to Lauren for advise
    Dyson goes to lauren for help/advise

    only Hale and Lauren have no defined relationship which should change naturally  if he is the ash 3.0

    ReplyDelete
  22. Lauren doesn't have to be everyone's best friend to be considered a part of the group. She is still a slave and was only ever allowed to leave when Trick and/or Dyson would find an excuse to release her - and when it happened, there was hardly any time to do anything but work. She always had x or y hours left before having to go back to the Light Fae compound. Of course most of her interactions are going to be with Bo, she plays one of her love interests - second in line would be The Ash, for obvious reasons.  She might not be or even pretend she is everyone's friend, but she gets along fine with all of them and that's hardly unreasonable in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  23. i'm kind of on the fence, but the potential is there.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I know that's there's a large fan contingent that wants Bo to not be monogamous, but from everything we've ever seen, it looks like Bo does--she kept asking for FWB to be exclusive, she is the good girl went to church raised on a farm, she seemed to like the idea of marriage in Faented Love, she turned away from Saskia telling her she shouldn't be tied down. It might be that the darkness within Bo pushes other people to try to help her in ways that threaten the relationship.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Bo might want to. Dyson and Lauren would certainly prefer a monogamous relationship with her - and vice versa. She might try. That doesn't mean she can. That doesn't mean she should. I personally believe that a monogamous Bo makes for a boring show, whether she is with Dyson, Lauren or Prince William.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hale has said, "She's my friend too." They have a cordial relationship. When Bo and Kenzi go drinking Kenzi and Hale have a good time together. The team spends alot of time talking through things with Trick or helping him with his problems and him helping them with theirs. Even when Ciara came on they integrated her more than they ever integrated Lauren. And yes, I think pulling Dyson out of the group for the second half was a serious detriment. He wasn't part of the group for the second half. I don't enjoy the taking turns who gets screen time this week stuff. When Lauren is getting screen time and she isn't interacting in a friendly manner, having a rapport with the rest of the group, I think it hurts the flow of the show. I dislike it when we send team members to the corner.

    ReplyDelete
  27. She was only locked down when Lachlan was trying to rile Bo. She came out and socialized with Bo on several occasions in S1 and she ran around alot after Bo agreed to be Lachlan's champion. They should have developed a relationship for her in S1, but they didn't. Slowly they've tried to make it that Kenzi is "nicer" to her, but they never gave us a reason for it, so it just feels forced. She's presumably known Dyson and Hale for years, and she isn't sociable with them. She isn't friendly with the rest of the team, like nice happy to see them have something to talk about willing to do favors and have their backs. That is my problem. What other show does the scooby gang have a member that only really interacts or is liked by the main character?

    ReplyDelete
  28. - Hale has never done anything (not work related) with Bo one-on-one.  Any time there has been drinking, most of Hale's interactions are with Kenzi.
     
    - Ciara's integration was in the form of spending time with Bo, which is no different than what Lauren does most of the time.

     - "The team spends alot of time talking through things with Trick or
    helping him with his problems and him helping them with theirs."
        They go to Lauren the same way for medical issues as they do with Trick for Fae social issues.

     - "When Lauren is getting screen time and she isn't interacting in a
    friendly manner, having a rapport with the rest of the group, I think it
    hurts the flow of the show."
        Being isolated and sequestered by The Ash (both of them) for seasons one and two hasn't really afforded her much opportunity for off duty social interaction.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Lauren hardly "ran around" after Bo agreed to be Lachlan's champion. Let's see... Nadia woke up. We didn't see Lauren for 2 episodes. She returned and worked alongside Bo, Dyson and Kenzi, which worked extremely well. Back to 2 minutes of screen time with Nadia. Back to being absent again in episode 18. Nadia Nadia Nadia. Oh, Nadia's dead. Suddenly, all Lauren does is work because she needs to figure out how to work on Lachlan's venom or the Garuda can't be defeated.  Where would the writers find time to develop Lauren's relationship with Hale? But of course you believing Lauren deliberately doesn't want to socialize with anyone is easier.

    They did give us a reason for Kenzi being nicer to her. Lauren called her on her bullshit when she said that she was jealous and wanted to be the only human in Bo's life. It might feel forced to you, but that's hardly a fact. 

    As for Dyson, HE was the one who never gave her a chance. Dyson never liked humans and only warmed up when Kenzi came along. Why would Lauren even bother? And yet it was Lauren who tried to comfort him when Ciara died, because she was going through a similar situation.  

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm not just talking about a relationship with Bo. Kenzi has a great relationship with Trick and with Hale. When Trick is onscreen with them he isn't divisive. Ciara wasn't divisive--she made friends with Bo, when Kenzi was at the table she talked to her. People were glad when she showed up. Dyson pulled people together because he, equally with Bo, was friends with everybody. We don't get the same reaction with Lauren. I can try to give you examples: 1.04 Lauren comes into the Dal and Kenzi is an afterthought, 2.05 when Dyson comes in for help or any scene with the group in the clubhouse, Lauren is off in a corner or there is palpable tension. In Original Skin Kenzi and Bo are annoyed to see her. Raging fae, after Dyson goes to get Lauren he immediately exits stage left contrast that with what happens at the police station. When Kenzi sees Lauren in the morning she wants to puke says she sucks the fun out of yummy. I'm not saying all of these things are the character's fault. But it is a show-wide decision to not make Lauren friends with people. In fact the sidekick bond actively worked against Lauren. I would like that to change if Bo is going to date her. But they have to do it in a way that makes sense. Right now, it feels like it's going to be when your best girl friend got into a relationship and stopped talking to all her "single" friends. Which was exactly what happened at the end of season 2. 

    ReplyDelete
  31. Alright.  I will concede that you have a point here.  I would like to suggest something though:

    Lauren isn't like the others in the group.  Everyone else is an outgoing, chit-chatty, happy-go-lucky person.  (Dyson a little less so)

    Lauren is a quiet, relatively shy, introverted person.  Sometimes she's even a little awkward.  Despite her looks, she's the nerd of the group.  She's never going to be the life of the party.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Sounds like things are looking up for Doccubus in season 3!

    ReplyDelete
  33. woot woot, I'm more than ready for some serious Doccubus love.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I wonder who is going to be the next Ash? could it be filled by a Dark Fae? Vex perhaps?

    ReplyDelete
  35.  No dark Fae can be The Ash just like no light Fae could be The Morrigan.  As for who it could be, I'm betting it will be Hale.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It would seem Lauren would be the choice leading on from the end of Season 2.  She's human, still owned by the Ash and if Bo's Daddy is Fae Royalty would be viewed as food and you don't have a meaningful relationship with your dinner, not in this kingdom, young lady!

    I can't help agreeing that the pairing would be set up to tear down but then AS/ZP do a really good job of making this relationship painfully compulsive. 

    Dyson was all over the place last season, he didn't make much sense to be honest hopefully he'll improve now he has his emotions back.  If he was the one Bo chose to be committed to and Tamsin comes in to cause interference then the triangle becomes BDT.  I can't really see them sidelining Lauren to that extent, if polls and the Showcase blog are anything to go by, she's a very popular character. 

    Ryan or Kenzi?  She nearly married Ryan but I think the fact that even without a memory she still fancied blond girls means it wouldn't be a runner.  Kenzi, they're already living together but too early for Xena/Gabrielle.

    Someone new?  I wouldn't put anything past them but I think the fan response would not be favourable.

    I'll put my money on Lauren.  There are so many angst possibilities and to be honest something weird happens to Dyson when he's playing loving with Bo.  I'd rather see him get his mojo back with this Tamsin character BUT not quickly.  Do the guy a favour and build up the sexual tension!

     

    ReplyDelete
  37. Lauren, in my opinion the most suitable option for Bo! But their unlikely leave together. And be sorry!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I see where you are coming from on the nerd front. And I will say it is a personal dislike of how her "nerd" self is written and acted that makes me want to write it off as a rationale for why she is so cold. I shouldn't. There are just so many great "nerds" on TV and in this genre that...ah well. Yes, she isn't the life of the party, that's Kenzi and I love Kenzi for it. I just wish Lauren'd warm up a bit or the writers would make some friends of doctors or nerds and learn how to write them better. Or at least look up facts before they have people pedantically lecture at the screen.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think they have a "sexy" quota to fill so Bo probably won't settle down too much xD. It is really hard to keep things hot without sexual tension to build the suspense. I was surprised that Bo/Dyson managed it. But I know not everyone agrees with me on that. They might try to fill it with having multiple characters having sexual relationships. But more likely whatever "committed" relationship Bo has won't last long. But, have we really seen Bo craving multiple sexual partner relationships? 

    I think there is a lot room to grow with Bo "feeding." After episode 2, she got the injections and they dropped it entirely. It switched over to needing to heal only. It would definitely open up avenues to discussing her "nature" and how much she is willing to accept being fae over being human. 

    ReplyDelete
  40. Has to be Lauren!

    ReplyDelete
  41.  I hope they stick to 13, tbh.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Haha :D This is vague yet interesting. I heard they were going to play up the Bo, Dyson and Lauren triangle like season 1? We'll see in S3. Maybe they will tell us what happened to Bo's mom? Did she end up in fae prison again? I haven't seen anything in S2, but haven't seen all of S2 either. I hope Bo isn't  entirely evil in all of S3 and the team figures out how to help her. I'm thinking it might be interesting to see Trick use his blood again to help save her. My fav part was the ep w/ Tricks past. Can't wait S3 looks osm.

    ReplyDelete
  43.  Good relationship involve two persons,

    Kenzi and Lauren:  At Season 1 Ep4 Kenzi hate Lauren and bad mouthing Lauren behind her back for no good reason. Lauren is the one being mature and calm and treat things lightly. Kenzi didn't even give her a chance for the very beginning. Don't tell me it is Lauren's fault.

    Dyson and Lauren: At Season 1 Ep 7 The threesome scene is award at first but Lauren try to talk and guess who is the one let all the things go wrong. Dyson. Who's fault is that this relationship not working out?

    Hale and Trick and Lauren:
    From all the episodes, they work well together. No hard feeling at all.

    I don't mind befriend with people who are mature, kind, nice, friendly, peaceful, calm and quiet most of the time. Lauren is that kind of person for me.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I will be mad if it's a relationship with only Lauren. I'm tired of the fanwank, in my opinion Bo should have a completely new relationship.

    ReplyDelete
  45. ccm 1982 .... maybe you missed Season 2.  That was as popular as burnt toast for all three of our lovely triangle folk.

    ReplyDelete
  46.  Didn't miss season 2. I still want her with someone different, I actually did not mind Ryan.

    ReplyDelete
  47. If Hale is Ash, doesn't that open up a big can of worms? Does he "free" Lauren? If so what role does she continue to play without being in the lab? Also, that would make him Trick and Dyson's boss, and for a beta character and good soldier, that's going to be a big big switch and a major character rework.

    ReplyDelete
  48. "If Hale is Ash, doesn't that open up a big can of worms?"

    Not really.  If he frees her, he can just hire her legitimately and she'd work in the same capacity she always has.

    "Also, that would make him Trick and Dyson's boss, and for a beta
    character and good soldier, that's going to be a big big switch and a
    major character rework."

    He wouldn't be their boss, the same way that if I were a democrat it doesn't make Obama my boss.  The Ash and The Morrigan are positions of political power.  Hale being Ash isn't a character rework.  He almost made Ash at the beginning of the season.  Probably one of the biggest draws to making Hale The Ash for the writers would be the struggle of someone like him to grow into the role of such an important leadership position.  It's character progression, not a character overhaul.

    ReplyDelete
  49. "Fae elders don't employ humans they own them." It would be rework of the fae system. That's the entire foundation of why Lauren is "owned" by the Ash. Somebody has to be responsible for the humans that walk around in the fae world. She would still have to be a "kept" human in some capacity. And to have a fae as politically powerful as the Ash breaking that rule, which comes dangerously close to the one rule they all agree on which is keeping themselves secret from humans, can't sit right in the universe. That's not to say the writers can't change it--they did with how you make thralls.

    While it is political, from what I can see I think the Ash is boss. Hale and Dyson and even Trick followed the Ash's orders (well Dyson did most of the time and Trick did unless he found a loophole). They weren't free to do whatever they wanted, fealty included a "the Ash is in charge" clause. "You have to be owned."  "You hold this position even if it means defying my direct order?" "The Ash could come after you for insubordination...I don't always take my orders from the Ash." The dark seem even more closely monitored, the bartender said, you are what most of us dream of being: free. You think I want to work here?" And when Meyer talked about his fae bosses he clarified that he meant the Morrigan. Bo not being aligned "gives all the lemmings ideas." Season 1 had a lot about freedom and the fae aren't free to do whatever they want. They've got more rules than Bo's highschool. They dropped the theme in S2, but Dyson still did what Lachlan told him to do and even saluted more than once. 

    To switch the sidekick power structure like that would be a big change. 

    ReplyDelete
  50.  "Fae elders don't employ humans they own them."

    There isn't a protagonist on this show who hasn't bent a rule like this one before.  That's nothing out of the ordinary.

    "To switch the sidekick power structure like that would be a big change. "

    As I said before, that is probably what the writers are going for.  All of Hale's aforementioned relationships will be challenges for him in his new position and his struggles to deal with that will be part of the show's drama going forward.  Slapping a title on Hale won't magically change his character.  It gives the writers an opportunity to show how he deals with being The Ash within the existing framework of his character.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I would say that unaligned Bo not following the rules and the head of the light fae not following the rules are different, but I can't say it doesn't look like that is where the writers may be going based on spoilers. And in the abstract Hale as Ash could be fun. But we lose continuity, again, and it should put a pretty big strain on the relationships and fae political structure.

    There are few really great relationships on Lost Girl and the Hale-Dyson buddy cop, two just guys being friends bond was one of them. So destroying that for a plot point seems like another misstep. Dyson is alpha and they can't change that and I can't really see him taking orders from Hale, and they really don't need any more drama around the guy.

    ReplyDelete
  52.  "I would say that unaligned Bo not following the rules and the head of the light fae not following the rules are different..."

    Very true.  I will say, though, that both people to hold the title of Ash had track records of not following all light Fae rules so I shouldn't hold Hale to a different standard.

    "There are few really great relationships on Lost Girl and the Hale-Dyson
    buddy cop, two just guys being friends bond was one of them."

    I agree with this but we don't yet know the effect this will have on the relationship so I'm not going to make too many assumptions in that regard.  What I do know is that it was announced that Dyson would be getting a new partner well before season 2 ended so this change has been in the works for some time, meaning that the writers have had ample time to think this through.

    ReplyDelete
  53. So what about unaligned could Bo become Ash? or does the position have to be male only?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Bo is a succubus and there is an inherent lack of Human Mortality to her character. However, she still thinks of herself as a more powerful form of a human. She still accepts Human definitions in commitment and love. Her Mother tried to show her that is not the best way to use her powers. But Bo fought against her mother's teachings. Bo still is remorseful over the killings she did before she knew who she was or how to control her cravings. So Bo is serially monogamous. I think Lauren will be her next long term relationship. Dyson is going to play less of a role for her in that respect.

    ReplyDelete
  55. What I have heard is that it will be 22 episodes. They are currently filming for it right now. The 2nd season came out in September 2011 so it is natural to assume that the 3rd season will probably start in September 2012.

    ReplyDelete
  56.  I am not aware of any gender limitations for the role of Ash or Morrigan.  As for Bo becoming Ash, I'm fairly certain it's not possible.  The Ash is the representative for all light Fae in the area and you'd have to be aligned with the light Fae to be considered a candidate to represent them.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The Ash has to be of noble blood from 1 of the 4 clans.  Bo is not in those clans- she is noble in Trick's line, but I don't think that counts.  And the Ash isn't about male or female.  If you haven't noticed, this show is trying to push past a lot of the sexuality and gender norms.

    ReplyDelete
  58.  If it's like any other standard show, it will be 22 episodes.  The 1st season is almost always close to 1/2 the following seasons (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer). 
    Dropping episode #s is dangerous in popular TV.  This show has quickly built a strong fan-base.  They're gonna do everything they can to hold onto that. 
    Looking forward to Season 3 in September!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Emily, 22 episodes is not typical for a show on a boutique cable network.  In fact, it's very rare.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I don't think you have to be noble. When they got Hale to apply it was a timing issue to get vetted--that's why they needed nobility. Otherwise it could have been anyone. Lachlan wasn't from a noble family. Plus, there are 5 noble families and 4 clans. It was really confusing between Fae Day explanations and Girl who Fae'd with fire explanations. 

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think cmm1982 has a point. Fans don't like being played with. And a if they give doccubus fans a 1-episode relationship and then jerk it away like they did with Dyson, or the way they've done both times Lauren slept with Bo then betrayed her in the same episode, fans won't just be happy with what they got, brief though it was. And if it is Lauren's fault again, they are never going to win non-doccubus viewers to that side of the triangle.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm not saying that it is a deliberate plot on her part to not socialize with the group. I'm saying that she doesn't. 

    And yelling at someone hypocritically about something that made no sense wasn't a reason for Kenzi to start being nicer. Kenzi had never displayed the slightest bit of jealousy because Lauren was human. She didn't trust her helping Bo without an ulterior motive "what is she getting out of this" and for being a cold person, these are the reasons we were given for Kenzi not liking Lauren. So it made no sense. Kenzi was protecting Bo, in her way in the same way we'd seen her react to Dyson, from someone who had already betrayed her in the past, and Lauren was acting like Jenny. Kenzi was there first, was the roommate, little sister, if you want a relationship with Bo you needed to make friends with Kenzi. Even Ryan knew that. Lauren never made an effort to even speak civilly with Kenzi. She wasn't quiet, mature or anything else. She was snarky and exclusionary. So no I didn't like that Kenzi took the brunt of a hypocritical blow off and that was supposed to be "all better now." Plus, yelling at someone is never ever a way to make friends with them. So yeah, it was forced and out of left field.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yeah, I'm with Bruce...Buffy was network. However, dropping back to 13 after giving them a 22 ep season 2, does send a message about lack of confidence--combine that with new showrunner and the ratings and I start to get a little worried. But if season 3 is anything like season 2, I'll take 13 as a way to wean myself free of my LG addiction. 

    ReplyDelete
  64. She doesn't have to. Lauren already is friends with the gang. The fact that we didn't get to see it unfolding on screen doesn't make it any less true. 

    There wasn't any yelling, much less a hypocritical one. That is your opinion - hardly a fact. Lauren did call Kenzi on her bullshit. Kenzi didn't talk back and never again referred to her in a rude manner - in fact, she actually began to support her relationship with Bo afterwards. Considering this is a television show, it is logical to assume that the shoe did fit and yes, Kenzi was jealous of Lauren being the other human in Bo's life.  You may think that  Kenzi referring to Lauren as Bo's "girl" in 2.21 was OOC but that is only because you failed to see that interaction as a turning point in their relationship in the first place.

Um, considering Lauren did turn out to be trustworthy  it is perfectly reasonable (in fact, I'd argue it's the only logical conclusion) to assume that Kenzi's animosity (and Dyson's, for that matter) towards Lauren have been about jealousy. And it is now canon that they have; what once could have been perceived as nothing but speculation, now can be seen as a justified one. And it does make perfect sense, in my opinion.

    In the end, it is your prerogative. You are entitled to believe whatever may please you regarding x character or story line. If we follow your logic, I'd say it is also fair to assume that Bo no longer cares about Dyson.  She never once bothered to go look for a way to reverse the Norn's curse, that was Kenzi. She didn't seem to mind that Dyson was empty and in pain for an entire season, that was Kenzi. She also didn't seem to care that Dyson nearly died in episode 20, that was Kenzi again. Now, we know that Bo cares and loves Dyson. Sometimes we do have to read between the lines. A few episodes where the writers denied its story of decent characterization and continuity do not deny that. The same often applies to other various story lines and relationships, it isn't exclusive to Lauren or Dyson, otherwise you are simply projecting your own wishes and dislike for a character and only seeing what you want to see.

  66.  They will never win me over to the doccubus side, lauren has done nothing but constantly walk all over bo. Worst part of this, is that none of it is every worked through, it's as if by the next episode all is right with the world. Dyson and bo on the other hand had one episode where they were together and then by the next two they were finished as he lost his love for her. Then of course came Ciara. It's always bothered me that the writers wrote it that Dyson was willing to try with Ciara even though he had no love, yet with bo it was goodbye see ya later. Hence why I want Bo with someone new, doesn't matter if its light or dark fae as Bo is unaligned. It really annoyed me this season that they wrote it as being a bad thing that she was dating a dark fae.

  67. I still don't think that Lauren is trustworthy--she's betrayed Bo twice and has never been terribly above board. She still hasn't told Bo what Bo said at the lich's. And knowing that she's gone darkside once might have made altered her course. 

    I didn't like the way Bo treated Dyson in the second half the season. I thought it was odd for Kenzi to be the only one helping him. I was upset that Bo didn't care whether he was alive or dead at the end of the 2.21 and that they didn't have an actual conversation in about 4 episodes. I am upset that Trick could have cared less about Dyson's plans and if he came back from fighting the Garuda, it was OOC. Bo gets blamed for bad writing. Dyson gets blamed for screwing Val. Lauren gets blamed for being a jerk. Trick gets blamed for lack of attention to his main lieutenant. It's fair all around. I'm pissed that after the sparks in If a Fae Falls and Masks (where Lauren brings her girlfriend to Bo's birthday party without so much as a heads up--that was COLD), we came back from hiatus and Bo forgets that Dyson even existed. It was a complete reversal. The entire back 9 and some of the front were filled with inconsistencies that seemed to come and go for plot explication only. But as Lauren never, even after Kenzi started to accept her, got any nicer to Kenzi, I don't consider them friends. Yes, Kenzi has some lines that support Lauren in Bo's life, but that doesn't mean Lauren accepts Kenzi in Bo's life. Her attitude in School's Out was pretty much exactly the same as it was in Food for Thought. Sure she was consistent, but growth in their relationship it did not show. 

    Dyson didn't like Lauren because of jealousy and because she was being duplicitous and she almost got Bo killed. He was perfectly nice to her after he was proven right--and he was right. Kenzi warns Lauren not to hurt Bo again and then Lauren goes and hurts Bo again. And what does Kenzi do? Nothing, defends Lauren. That makes no sense, except the writers needed someone to say it and the only one left around was Kenzi. I'm sorry the writers haven't done a better job of making Lauren a trustworthy, above board character who is actually nice to the other people in Bo's life. Maybe they want the drama. Maybe it is part of the dichotomy between her and Dyson. Maybe they think that that's the way nerds act. I've got no idea, but it doesn't help me like her.

  68. No, 1) Bo had just killed Nadia, 2) Bo and Lauren weren't together, hadn't been together in quite a while, and 3) Kenzi had just spent the entire episode getting Dyson's love back. So yes, sending Bo off to see a girl who was grieving for her lost lover whom Bo had just killed when she knew Dyson was back, was OOC and illogical--especially the use of the possessive. 

    How does I'm jealous translate to she's frigid and cold? Those concepts aren't correlated at all. There are lots of ways to play jealousy, and Kenzi didn't play any of them. If that's what they had intended in S1, then they should have written/acted it that way. I don't trust her was directly related to her not being trustworthy. And that can be chalked up to not having anything to do with jealousy, because again, Lauren wasn't trustworthy, and Kenzi had a good BS detector. 

    ReplyDelete
  69. Again, that is your opinion. 1) You don't like Lauren. 2) You fail to understand any logical - yes, logical - explanation the show has given to justify Kenzi's attitude towards Lauren.

    Yes, those concepts are correlated and often happen in real life. You not relating to them do not negate them in the slightest. I actually speak from personal experience, being bi myself and having straight  friends - one of them being my best friend in over 15 years. It happens quite often, particularly when one of them actually prefer someone else (man or woman) because of their own personal bias. "I don't like her", "You deserve better", "She's kind of bitchy", "I though she was a bit cold and obnoxious" - all often used and commonly so, primarily for no reason at all considering how much time they spent together.

    I absolutely called Kenzi's beef with Lauren back in the day and disregarded it as her being jealous. I could relate to it and again, it made perfect sense to me once it became canon in season 2.

  70. Not liking Lauren and liking Lauren are heads and tails of the same coin. You've taken stuff from your life to justify your opinion and take Lauren's side. Some of which has no foundation in the show. I look at how they portrayed Kenzi as *acting* jealous in Mourning After and said she's not acting the same way at all with Lauren. And I felt that Lauren was cold from day one and I'm not jealous of her. So it played pretty clearly to me until they changed it. I would say that Lauren had been pretty exclusionary of Kenzi (and even after yelling at Kenzi for doing the same crap she was doing she didn't change) and there was definitely some resentment there, which you might be able to construe as jealousy, but it didn't come back to because Lauren as human and not fae.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Oh, but it does have foundation in the show, that is my point.  I only used a real life exampleto further exemplify that. I didn't have to - and yet you are again choosingto see what you want/believe to justify your dislike for the character and not what the show is trying to perceive,hence why this storylinemay never ring true to you.  

    ReplyDelete
  72.  I agree with all of this. Kenzi's reaction is what annoyed me most of all. What BFF would be ok with what Lauren did? None, that I know of. Also the Dyson thing, you have no idea how much that annoyed me. If they put Lauren and Bo together I see more of that happening. I just don't see any upside to that relationship. Bo would have more luck with the Morrigan.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Sounds great. I sure hope Bo's romantic choice will be Lauren. Hopefully they won't assassinate that relationship like they did to Bo and Dyson's.

  74. I  have read your views in a couple of different forums  and I can see you are very upset at the way Lost Girl has developed. You are clearly very enamoured and passionate in Dyson's cause. Nothing wrong with that, this is what the showrunners want to see.  The passionate team wars must give them many a giggle.

    I think your criticism of Lauren is a bit harsh, She has always tried to help Bo as much as her circumstances would allow and has had a really rotten deal so far.  If she gets a little bit of happiness with Bo next series I think we can all be assured or reassured, in your case, it wont last long.

    Season Two, Lauren should have told Bo about Nadia. I think she did try and tell her several times but either Bo wouldn't listen or they got interrupted.  I think the writers got in a tangle there, wanting a Bo/Lauren sex scene and wanting to define it had emotional context but not wanting Bo to be accused of cheating behind pod Nadia's back. Keeping Bo free of criticism unfortunately means important questions aren't asked and other characters get tarnished along the way. I think Nadia's death scene illustrated this.  To make Bo come out of it okay, Nadia had to be grateful to be killed and Lauren had to agree with her demise.  I don't know which writer did that job but it was totally nonsensical.

    One thing I was surprised at in Season 2 was that Bo had no part in getting Dyson's heart back.  Kenzi seems to have the stronger attachment and determination of the two. After making Dyson more likeable mid-season, the writers then went on to make him rather unsympathetic in the latter half of the season and misguided re the Wolf Spirit. I'm not sure what they were doing there especially since it got Ciara killed.  They made Dyson vainglorious and very lacking as a leader.  Well, they were all a bit stupid running into an obvious trap but as Dyson had claimed Champion status, it was on his watch.  

    I don't think these characters are supposed to be perfect, they're all operating within the difficulties of the Fae world. I  also think characters identity and integrity are sometimes sacrificed to Bo's ongoing development. For continuities sake, they should keep Bo's affections in place whether she's currently in a sexual relationship with Lauren or Dyson or not.  Same goes for Lauren and Dyson, they should have more sensitivity to Bo, at times both of them flaunted their other women in front of her. 

    Always remember, it be just a merry romp .... sometimes a miserable romp .... and have fun with it.  I'm sure both teams will have wounded hearts at some point or other because Bo has to be Bo and you can't tie her down.

  76.   monogamous relationship dose not Equal "committed" relationship. Very Christian and western to think so.But I Know of three people that are happily married for 30 years ( Muslim )they laugh joke and dress like every one else. Now you could Argue there from anther culture (there not) ,But I would remind you Bo is not even Human.Normal monogamous relationship why it might make some feel more comfortable the show is not about Normal Relationships.

  78. There is a very large and strong fan base for "Team" Bo/Dyson and for Bo/Lauren . I would think the producers and writers ofthe show would not want to lose viewers on either side therefore will find a way to keep all fans hopeful and tuning in for more.

  80.  Never mind the teams. Writing has to be better. There was no tension with the main protagonist even in the finale. The show is tilting dangerously close to cheesy soap opera. The actors are superb but they have been let down terribly by the writers in season two. They need to tighten the show and focus on their main cast IMO. First season was more police/detective show with a fantasy twist.

    Season two was a gigantic mess with plot points appearing out of nowhere and many going nowhere.

    The show needs to decide on an identity. I'll give it a go for the third season but if It is like season two. I will check out.

  81.  I couldn't agree more. I kept watching to see if it would improve, but it didn't and nothing was ever consistent.

  82. I think if you picked out thirteen episodes from Season 2 and tweaked the arc a little, the season would have been okay.  The fact that they used the extra episodes to send four characters off on romances that were doomed to fail, two tragically, if you can call the demise of characters very few cared about tragic, was a big mistake in my opinion.

    All the business about Lauren in the Congo and the disease she saved the Fae from, the cursing of Nadia, all fizzled to nothing.  Dyson fizzled to nothing, his Wolf Spirit didn't tell him anything more than Lachlan already knew and he brought nothing to the finale.  Lachlan gave them a chance of killing the Garuda (who already thought he'd won) and Lauren was the one who made the venom usable.

    All they gave Dyson was bravery to keep on throwing himself at an enemy he couldn't beat. Bo wasn't much better.  In the end it was a toss up between Lauren and Vex for Champion.  If those two hadn't contributed they would have got the snot beaten out of them. Overall, I guess Lauren wins since she put aside her grief, resisted the temptation to flee from slavery, harnassed the venom, worked out Vex's treachery and got Hale to use his whistle to zip up Kenzi. She also reminds dumbo Bo of the plot point that only the venom can kill the Garuda, if she'd injected the venom herself Bo would have been redundant.

    Grins.  So Lauren dons the mantle of unsung Champion and for her reward she gets the chance to romance Bo.  Dyson needs a bit of a re-write, Bo doesn't need him to protect her any more as end of Season 2 so where does that leave him.  I'm sure he'll suddenly develop knowledge and attributes we haven't suspected he possessed just like Lauren acquired an invisible girlfriend we'd never seen for eighteen episodes.  If they embellish Dyson, I'm guessing, we won't get the calls of lack of continuity and a demand to stick to the first season Dyson from certain quarters that are so fervently demanded at the moment. Let's just hope for everyones sake, it doesn't involve him sitting in the desert listening to the wise words of the Wolf Spirit.

    I'm also hoping Trick installs a mechanical bull at the Dal and Lauren can show off her prowess.  Hale can be Ash and give her lots of time off and she can go drinking with the guys and be the life and soul of the party.

    I'm from France and my English is not that good, so sorry in advance.I would love to see more of the love story between Lauren and Bo.My storyline would be something like this: Lauren knows that Bo needs sex in order to heal. She is ok with this, but as she is a human, she knows that Bo will never come to her for the healing. And she does not like her woman to be with other men or women. One day she walks in on Bo while she is having sex with an other woman. Bo does see her while being in action. Lauren realizes that she is of no use for Bo and she takes distance from her. Bo does not understand why Lauren is doing so. After some time she calls Laurens as she needs her help. Lauren takes someone with her. When Bo is hurt and needs sex to heal.Lauren aks the one she brought with her to help BO and she leaves.This makes Bo think and realize how Lauren must be feeling. From that moment she does her utter best to convince Lauren that she is the one she needs. Lauren is the one who is able to stop her from being a dark fae and Lauren is the one she truly and  unconditionally loves. When Bo goes to visit Lauren at the lab she sees one of Lauren's collegues flirting with Lauren and Bo gets jealous (We have never seen her jealous before). Bo's action should be concentrated on how to win Laurens heart and how to get Lauren sofar that she is willing to commit herself to a relationship with Bo.I would love to see BO not having sex with someone while she needs to heal, only to convince Lauren that she loves her. Ofcourse Lauren will notice this madness!! and starts melting ............sigh

  86. Well, you may not see or not WANT to see how the awful turmoil in Lauren's life has affected her and her decisions, but Bo definitely sees it and understands and loves Lauren for who she is.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Good story line would be if all this time Lauren had really been trying to find a way to evolve herself into fae. She realizes that if she doesn't turn herself into a fae she will lose Bo. She does it so that she can be with Bo permanently. But ultimately something goes wrong and Bo loses her. I think that Bo will finish her arch with dyson. He needs a second chance to work things out with Bo. Dyson does a better job of letting Bo work out her humanity. She also teaches him to be a better fae.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I couldn't disagree more. The beauty of it all of that Kenzi and Lauren's biological clocks are ticking. They represent the human face of the show, our faces and our proxies as viewers. It's part of what makes them special. Bo has chosen humans in the pilot; she connects [emotionally] better with Kenzi and Lauren and I don't see her wanting to give that up. What she needs is emotional support and stability to keep her in check and those were only ever provided by Lauren.

    what is with all the lauren love 2bh i think bo should stick with her own kind and not take the risk of killing lauren in the long run if u truly know bout the succubus is that eventually the human doesnt last always ends in death if u read bout the legends think a incubus should b brought in the picture as someone that gets her and knows bout what she has to go through tryin not to kill her lovers but not as a mate but a friend the male version of what she is opinions r great right but no replacing kenzi or hale jus an add to the group of friends or maybe even a long long relative that she didnt know bout....Team Dyson all the way for Bo

  93. Bo's choice = Lauren. Crystal clear by now. Those who read the leaked sides know Lauren is referred to as Bo's girlfriend. About damn time. Lauren has always been the better choice for her.

  95. Dyson has his love back now, thanks to Kenzi! So, I think that the flame between Dyson and Bo should be reignited!! Dyson is good for Bo... he can heal her, keep her in check (her darker side that is going to be a part of season 3), help her in many instances, and he is hot to boot! I am for Dyson!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. This argument about people fitting in with the group is illogical. In real life people have friends and relationships who do not interact with another group of their friends at all. The point is that Bo wanted and quite frankly pursued having Lauren as part of her life. It doesn't matter who else Lauren does or not get on with. I think Kenzi understands the obvious, hence the fact she has been more cordial to Lauren. Bo likes Lauren, maybe loves her and vice versa so therefore Lauren is there to stay in some shape or form.

  97. Get rid of the queer stuff--make it Dyson and Bo and I'll watch the next season. Love Trick and Kenzie--great acting, entertaining and episodes well-written! Would like to see Dyson take more of a lead--he is such a dynamo, he should play the part of Thor--the one they have now is milk toast!
