Lost Girl

[Thundarr]

I've just recently discovered this little gem of a show. Anyone else on here like to watch it too?

​

Quote from Wikipedia:

The series focuses on Bo, a bisexual succubus, who grew up in an adopted human family, unaware of her non-human nature and of the "Fae" world. A succubus is a female Fae (supernatural being) that feeds on sexual energy, with fatal results for humans if the succubus has not learned how to control their powers. Bo's succubus powers only became apparent to her when she killed her first love, forcing her to flee her home. Bo left her previously normal life for one without family or friends, moving from place to place whenever she kills again.
Season one follows Bo's navigation of the Fae world, control over her powers, and her developing romantic relationships with Dyson, a wolf shifter police detective, and Lauren, a human doctor. Bo also searches for her origins - her biological mother and the reason she was abandoned.
The first episode introduces much of the backstory of the series. Bo protects a human stranger, her soon-to-be sidekick Kenzi, from a predatory human male. This leaves an obviously supernaturally-killed corpse, which leads Dyson (and thus the whole Fae world) to Bo. Fae elders are unnerved to find a Fae they do not know in their territory. They interrogate her with disbelief when they learn that she does not know she is a succubus, nor what Fae are and, seemingly most important to them, does not have allegiance to a Fae Clan. Bo learns as we do that there are many different types of Fae living among and feeding off humans, and that there are two opposing clans; the Dark and the Light. Bo is told that every Fae must choose a side and belong to a clan in order to have protection from other Fae and from human discovery. She refuses to obey their rules, choosing instead the side of humans. This provides Bo with a unique, yet vulnerable, position of neutrality between the clans and between humans and Fae. Kenzi encourages her to take advantage of her neutrality and become a private detective. This career and her questing attitude provide a means through which Bo learns more about herself, the Fae world and her place within it.[2]
[edit] Cast and characters

• Anna Silk as Bo – a succubus. She has the power to steal people's life force through their mouths with a kiss, to bewitch people with a touch, and to feed from sexual energy during intercourse. Her feeding usually leads to death, however other Fae seem to be immune to her powers and if she is stopped part-way through feeding her victims may live. She can only seem to go a few days without feeding before the drive overcomes her.
• Kristen Holden-Ried as Dyson – a werewolf. Besides being able to turn into a wolf he also seems to be very strong, and possesses a very acute sense of smell, even in human form.
• Ksenia Solo as Kenzi – Bo's main companion and room-mate, despite being a normal human. She serves as Bo's "sidekick" and came up with the idea that Bo should become a P.I. She has kleptomaniac tendencies.
• Zoie Palmer as Lauren – "the doctor" for the Light Fae. Because of this, despite being a human she is highly trusted by the fae. Since Bo bewitched her in Episode 1, she has helped the succubus control her abilities.
• K.C. Collins as Hale – Dyson's colleague and another Fae undercover agent in the police force. He is a siren. He is able to render humans and even other Fae unconscious or fascinate them with his whistle, so that they will docilely follow him.
• Emmanuelle Vaugier as the Morrígan – the leader of the Dark Fae. She may be the only one of her kind. In Celtic Mythology the Morrígan is the name for the Raven-God of War.
• Cle Bennett as the Ash – the leader of the Light Fae.
• Rick Howland as Trick – the bar-tender of the only Fae-only pub in town, The Dal Riata, which is named after the ancient Gaelic kingdom which crossed Scotland and Ireland. He is very powerful, and episode 3 revealed that Dyson reported to him, and his work for the Light Fae was just a cover. In episode 1 he spoke to The Morrigan and The Ash as equals.

[edit] Development and production

On November 16, 2008, Prodigy Pictures issued a press release that they had been commissioned by Canwest Global to produce a pilot for Lost Girl, a drama about a young woman with supernatural powers. The pilot was to be written by Michelle Lovretta who had previously written for the Canadian television series Mutant X.[3]
On August 19, 2009, Canwest Global issued a press release that the Showcase Television channel, a subsidiary of the main company, had picked up the rights to a one hour supernatural drama series. The cast would include Anna Silk, previously in such series as Billable Hours, and Being Erica as filling the lead role of the character Bo in the series. Kristen Holden-Ried, from the series The Tudors as another main character named Dyson, an inhuman cop involved in a love/hate relationship with Bo, and two-time Gemini Award winner Ksenia Solo as a third character named Kenzi, Bo’s street-smart and fiercely loyal human best friend. Also in the cast would be Rick Howland, from the film Bon Cop, Bad Cop as Trick, a friendly saloon keeper with something to hide.[4] The release stated the series' promotional efforts would include an interactive website, graphic novel, and downloadable video game.
On April 7, 2010, Prodigy reported that the green light had been given for a series to be produced to consist of thirteen one-hour episodes.[5] Production on the series began in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the spring of 2010, at sites across southern Ontario and at a small studio in western Toronto.[6] Completion of the series' primary production occurred June 25, and the series was aimed for a September 2010 release date.
On June 22, 2010 Keyframe Digital of Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario reported that they had been given the contract for visual effects on the first thirteen episodes of Lost Girl, referring to it as fantasy/noir.[7]
As part of the promotion of the series, an official site was opened at the beginning of August 2010 at lostgirlseries.com. It contained a short trailer for the series, and a summary of information on the series and the characters. On August 20, an interactive comic book was also released that would serve as a lead-in to the series and characters for viewers. It also was expected to have a forum for viewers to interact with the cast and crew before the series actually aired on Showcase. On the same date, a press release indicated that the series cast and crew would be making an appearance at Fan Expo Canada held in Toronto from August 27-29, where they would be answering questions about the series and have promotional items available for watchers of the series as well.[8]
Episode 8 of the series, called "Vexed", was the first episode produced and served as the series pilot which was shown to Showcase to obtain the green light for the series.[9]
On November 12, 2010, the Showcase Blog announced that Lost Girl would be renewed for a second season.[10]

I kinda like the show. It sorta has a Buffy/Angel vibe to it. What are your thoughts?

 

[Thundarr]

Seriously? NOBODY on this site watches Lost Girl? I find that hard to believe. It's a cool show, and Anna Silk is so totally hot (a perfect choice to play a succubus, imho).

What do you guys think? Do you like the show? Dislike it? Why? Why not? C'mon, let's have a little feedback.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

I also recently discovered the show and I´m really liking it.

The cast is pretty good for the most part and the world is interesting if at times slightly inconsistent.

I'd definitely recommend this series.

Anna Silk as Bo

A succubus with a conscience. She can suck the life force out of me any time!

Ksenia Solo as Kenzi

A streetwise Goth chick and pickpocket. She's only human, bu she's also Bo's best friend and roommate. And in her own way, every bit as sexy as Bo herself.

Zoie Palmer as Lauren

A human doctor with an intimate knowledge of Fey anatomy. She's one of Bo's closest friends, as well as a possible love interest.

Kris Holden-Reid as Dyson

Dyson is a werewolf, working for the Light Fey by using his position as a police detective to prevent the human world from learning about the existence of Fey. Like Lauren, he is another friend and love interest of Bo's.

K.C. Collins as Hale

Hale is Dyson's partner on the police force, helping him keep Fey cases out of human hands. He's a siren, capable of rendering fey and humans alike unconscious or complacent by whistling. He has also become a good friend to both Bo and Kenzi.

Rick Howland as Trick

Trick is the bartender at The Dal Riata, a "Fey-Only" pub which is considered neutral territory by both Light and Dark Fey (think Lorne and his karaoke bar, Karatos, on Angel). He is very old, very powerful, and is nearly equal in importance as the leaders of both the Light and the Dark Fey. He has become quite fond of Bo and Kenzi, and is somewhat of a father figure to them both (kinda like Giles on Buffy).

This is the Canadian advertisement for the show's premier.

 

[Thundarr]

In The States, the show is available on SyFy. I understand that there's going to be a comic/graphic novel published soon. Maybe that's what will be announced at Comic Con.

I've seen most of the first season. Haven't had a chance to catch up on the last half and the new season though.

 

[Thundarr]

These are just a few examples of how sexy & entertaining this show can be.

I think I've seen all of season 1, as well as most of season 2. There might be a few episodes that I missed though. Hopefully it'll come out on DVD. This is definitely a show I'd like to own copies of.

I dunno. I haven't had cable for almost a year now, so I haven't been able to follow the show for a while. Hopefully it'll be released on DVD and I'll be able to watch it then.

I've been watching with varying degrees of attention since the show premiered on Syfy. Initially, the show didn't grab me. The concept is all well and good, but the execution was clunky and clumsy, plus the acting wasn't all that great. About halfway through the first season they started to hit their stride and there have been some good episodes. As a whole, though, this isn't a series I feel too bad about if I miss an episode. It's not really a "must watch," but if there's nothing else on I wouldn't pass it up either.

I dunno... after Vampire Diaries, I think it's the best supernatural-themed TV series at the moment. At least, amongst the ones I watch. I agree the show can be clunky at times but this is by far compensated by the presence of Ksenia Solo/Kensi who I think is bloody hilarious.

 

[charl_huntress]

WooHoo...I finally found the thread!

I love this show. I've been watching since it premiered. I remember seeing the commercials for it during Merlin and its been on my DVR list since.

I just caught up with the last three episodes since I kind of got shanghaied by the Olympics for the past two weeks, but...I'm kind of meh on where the story is going so far. I feel like season two is not as tight as season one. Obviously season 2 has a lot more episodes. Though I do love the show, I'm not sure the longer season is helping.

 

[rashad]

I love this show as well. I've been watching it before SyFy picked it up. Finished Season 2 earlier in the year when it was airing in Canada. Such a quirky, fun supernatural-fantasy series.

 

[charl_huntress]

My only real problem with the show as this point is Kensi. While I love her quirky humor, she hasn't really grown since the beginning of the show. Every other character has, but she's still...Kensi. Again, I like her, but I'd like to see this character grow mature and not act so childish all the time. In the last episode, she was a little too over the top for me.

 

[DrDoom]

But........she's super hot
