If you end an episode on a cliffhanger, you don't start the next episode as though nothing has happened. Idiot show completely dropped the audience and lost all the dramatic tension they'd created. Not to mention the fact that a good portion of the fandom has been waiting for 28 episodes to see what happens and all they did was nod to it offscreen. Kenzi and the Norn was a huge story and it has been dropped with barely sketchy crap about Inara and now no Bo showdown. Not to mention that Dyson wasn't even present.
The machine invite thing had it's moments, none of them were particularly smart, but at least it moved quickly and had some snark, it all seemed awfully haphazard and silly. At least they managed to tie the cricket thing in there, which for any other show would have been heavy handed, but for the writing on Lost Girl this year, I'm just happy they managed to follow through one plot element for an entire episode. And setting up the Wanderer thing at least gave you some NEW mythology to grab onto. So points.
But the continued absence of major elements of the cast and boring relationship crap has got to stop. As does the fan baiting. While this episode was tolerable, it was so hard to fight through the residual hate and frustration every allusion to outside cast members (Hale/Dyson's dawnings, Kenzi isn't here), stupid science plot holes (when the hell did Lauren get human friends or ANY friends? Or spend time doing human research? And submitting papers to human journals? And please like anyone would have an award specifically for free radical research?) to let it all go and just accept one episode on its own.
I'd like Tamsin a lot more if she could act--wow is she cheesy, I didn't think she'd ever be worse than she was on Beauty and the Beast, but yeah, she succeeded. She was better in the saving Kenzi episode, so if she lives, maybe she'll improve to not so noticeable.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
I loved this test Bo is going through I loved the deliverance motif! I am wondering about Tasmin though.
ReplyDeleteThis ep was insane - but in an awesome way. Can't wait to see Bo and Tamsim team up again. Liking Tamsim more with each episode.
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome episode. But with this card The Wanderer is kind of mystery what will happen.

No Kenzi = sucky episode.
