Lost Girl - Season 3 - Backstory on Kenzi, Trick and Dyson coming
Jul 26, 2012
Lost Girl
In an interview with tvfanatic Lost Girl executive producer Jay Firestone revealed season 3 would explore Kenzi's backstory, it would also address the origins of Dyson and Trick's relationship.
Yay, sounds pretty awesome. Always wondered how Dyson knew Trick was the Blood King, and how he came to be working for him.
ReplyDeleteSounds good, backstory is always appreciated. I'm especially interested in Trick and Dyson's history.
ReplyDeleteKenzi is so getting Fred'ed with this... :(
ReplyDeletebackstory is always nice :)
ReplyDeleteI was so excited for new info, but it's just stuff from Comic-Con. :-(
ReplyDeleteYep, I am not sure I could take ANOTHER one of my favorite characters convulse in agony, blood and all that stuff for 45 minutes as their life is recapped in flashbacks and then show tears apart my heart :[
ReplyDeleteKind of hope that doesn't mean Trick's in a frock playing King and Dyson has his hybrid Celtland accent and stringlocks back again. Maybe it will show us why Dyson didn't go back to rescue Ciara, I always thought that made him look bad.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for this. Especially Kenzi's backstory.
ReplyDeleteDyson isn't old enough to have known him that long.
ReplyDeleteDyson has had a fair amount of backstory so far but Kenzi and Trick's history could definitely use more illumination.
ReplyDeleteApparently he's 1500 years old, Dyson that is, we might find out what Trick did after the war and why he needed a Champion, I would guess it's more than needing a bouncer at the Dal. Might involve Bo's Mum but I don't know if she's coming back, they could play her with a younger actress. There's some sort of past with her and Dyson, he certainly knew her and about what happened to her.
ReplyDeleteApparently I'm way off. I'm trying to remember where I got his age of 500 from (I may have gotten it from the lost girl wikia which I keep forgetting contains a lot of assumptions, such as Bo's dad being listed as an Incubus).
ReplyDeleteHe didn't want to go against both his liege lord and his pack. He would have had to fight and kill his best friends. And since Ciara stayed with the king for hundreds of years, I'm guessing she wasn't too miserable.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry. There is absolutely no way they get rid of Kenzi. Andras loves her and she is way too important to the show.
ReplyDeleteI think 1500 came from Firestone, it's his idea afterall. And 6AD would make some sense for Irish/Scottish to be running around in bands for Kings of small kingdoms.
ReplyDeleteTell that to Robin Hood or Lancelot or Arthur. No, pretty shabby without some explanation. Let her husband die from none intervention because the price was too high and then let Ciara be taken into forced marriage. I think it was made clear, he regretted his past and didn't want to repeat that mistake with Bo. If you're really that keen on Dyson you would know that was his motivation. Still looks a bit bad though, I'm surprised Ciara even looked at him.
ReplyDeleteThat makes no sense. 1) Lancelot? What does that adulterer, betrayer have to do with this? Arthur? Robin Hood? Are you just listing medieval heroes? I would have gone with Tristan if you wanted to make a clearer analogy, but his failure (along with Lancelot's) WAS betraying his king and country in favor of his heart. And since Dyson had all of this love to give to Bo, he didn't love Ciara. 2) Stephen wanted to go into certain death and die for his king. Dyson tried to go with him, tried to talk him out of it. Because he wouldn't sacrifice himself in Stephen's stead, he's a jerk? He's to blame for Stephen's death? That's just not fair. Yes, he regretted Stephen's death. But when it came to Bo, it wasn't not repeating "mistakes" he made with Stephen, it was how important she was to him. He loved her more than everything that he was. That is noble. He wasn't ready before but he was ready then. That's not regret motivating him, that's love. 3) The price of fighting his pack on top of betraying his king and the necessity of killing his best friends was too high. Was revenge for Stephen's death enough to warrant the death of the rest of his friends? What kind of justice is that? 4) Finally, Ciara is a fairy warrior, if she wanted to get out of it, I'm guessing she could have tried something over hundreds of years instead of running her husband's company successfully. Like flashing out of the castle and running away.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, not really. Dyson wanted to go up against the King and the others opposed him. The King was right or wrong, Dyson couldn't accept that after Stefan's death but he didn't, as far as we know, do anything about it but leave. He left Ciara in that situation because he wouldn't fight his brothers. Maybe we'll find out why that was such an obstacle. I hope so, it doesn't look good. What I mean about those other Knights is they would have always found a way to save the maiden, Marian or Guinevere. You can't really imagine Dyson refusing to save Hale because he didn't want to give up his wolf or leaving Kenzi a victim to someone who had murdered to get what they wanted. It's really bad character stuff. Your statement about Ciara is presuming on nothing we are given, something I see you objecting to rather often. I find it hard to think Ciara, as we're shown her, would acquiesce to marrying her husband's murderer. Still, explanation may be at hand, until that I see Dyson's past as less than exemplary and part of the reason he wanted to do the right thing by Bo. I think he says to Trick, he did the wrong thing before and he doesn't want to do it again.
ReplyDeleteRather than argue about the oddities in the characterization and plot I feel fans should be demanding that the writers create a bible and character history. I don't mind characters learning from their mistakes but just looking at Ciara and Lauren, Ciara should have been able to evade any enemy by doing her Tinkerbell stuff and Lauren should be able to kill off all the Fae with one of the plagues she's been so assiduously protecting them against. Trick should be able to blood write away all his problems and Bo should be able to live it large with a healthy sex life and pots of cash. None of it makes sense, so it's silly really to bother about it.
ReplyDeleteHave you not seen all of season 2? Do you not know Ciara's powers? She was already married to the King when Dyson got back with Stephen's corpse. She isn't a damsel in distress. She can fight for herself. If she didn't blame the King for Stephen's death, as she should have, how could she or anyone else blame Dyson? There is nothing to show that she fought against the King. She stuck with him to his death, she ran his company. They present her as the woman behind the man. I'm really not sure what you are referring to when you say I'm making stuff up.
ReplyDeleteHis pack were his best friends. They picked up their arms against him in favor of protecting their king. And I disagree with your analogy: If the Ash killed Kenzi and Hale stuck with his duty to protect the Ash, would Dyson kill Hale to avenge Kenzi's death? No. Would that have made it any better? No. He walked away from his life, his duty, his king, and his brothers. He accepted exile and a life alone (which from what they tell us is an anathema to wolves) instead of fighting his friends who sided with their king over Ciara and Stephen and Dyson. The rest of the wolves didn't have a problem with the situation. So loyalty to their king was more important to the pack than loyalty to an individual.
I like that.I always wanted to know more about Kenzi.
ReplyDeleteThere's absolutely no way they would get rid of Ksenia Solo.
ReplyDeleteThat does not mean they would not dare to get rid of Kenzi and have someone else wear her skin, so to say, ala what happened to Fred, which is exactly what most of us fear since the whole chemical-on-her-hand stuff last season - its way too reminiscent of Fred getting "infected" with Illyria.
She might go through a phase. But Kenzi, spunky, human, BFF Kenzi isn't going anywhere.
ReplyDeleteHa. I think we can all get behind the need for greater consistency especially with character and mythology. xD
ReplyDeleteDyson promised his best friend of over a hundred years that he would take care of Ciara then punked out first chance her got. Can Ciara blame him, yes Dyson renounced his loyalties to his King and still left Ciara behind. Considering the time Ciara had no choice fae power or no, but Dyson could have acted and he didn't. No loyalties to his friends, no loyalties to his king, either way bad dog. Dyson has grown as a person and has shown better loyalties to Trick and Bo but in regards to his actions with Ciara both back then and now he has shown to be less the honorable person.
ReplyDeleteYour entire argument is predicated on the supposition that Ciara wanted/need to be rescued. We have little to no information about the customs, value systems, or marriage rites of fae at the time or what happened withe Ciara. We know she never expressed any sort of trauma or regret about her second marriage. That she stayed with the King until his death, running his multibillion dollar company. We know that the other wolves didn't have a problem with the King's actions. We know that Ciara is a fairy warrior who is happy and confident to make her own decisions and fight her own battles. We know that Dyson's pack pulled their swords against him and were willing to fight to protect their king from Dyson's vengeance. IMO killing your remaining friends to exact vengeance is not an "honorable" move, and accepting exile instead of condoning his liege's actions is noble. IMO Ciara was a strong woman and if she wanted to get free she had money and connections and probably could have.
ReplyDeleteSeeing how Dyson wanted to go after the king, even he thought that she needed rescuing but instead of doing what he said he would he ran away like a coward. I don't imagine a woman fae or not had a lot of say or control over her life in medieval times, and the money and connections were the kings not hers. If Dyson was smart he could have saved Ciara without having to go through his pack, but we know he didn't get much in the brains department so he walked away with his tale between his legs. At first I didn't like Ciara when she came on but by the end of the season I felt she was way to good for Dyson, he was a chump and she deserved better.
