Season 3 cast of Lost GirlOne thing about the creators and writers of Lost Girl: they’ve spent a lot of time constructing this interesting re-imagination of the world we live in. Everything from the Dal being a place of neutrality between the Light and Dark Fae...not to mention the unaligned ones...to incorporating Dyson’s wolfness into a variety of Fae are just a small sample of what we’ve encountered over the last three seasons. It has taken things we may have learned (and quickly disregarded) in high school to whole new levels.

Sure, along the way, they may have some continuity errors. They might have also irked their fans with storylines that sometimes go against popular opinion (you really can’t please everyone), but they work hard to bring interesting mythologies from around the world and make it entertaining for us viewers. With the introduction of Tamsin, a Valkyrie, in season three, we caught a bit of Old Norse in the works. If resident expert, Kiersten, is correct we’ll be looking at more to come in the form of the head Norseman himself, Odin.

While we wait for the big reveal (confirmation?) of the identity of Bo’s father, here are some book recommendations that may please the Fae worldbuilding contingent.

[May these recs soothe some of our Lost Girl needs...]

Kenzi in Lost Girl Season 3It’s been at least a week now without Lost Girl. We’ve all had the great discussions going on Kiersten’s play-by-play and my earlier mini-recap. But the big question is: What now? What can we possibly do with our time until our beloved show returns? Well, here are a few recommendations that might tide you over until October:

By the end of Season 3, Kenzi had a tool (the Staff of Righteousness) in her possession that would have given her Fae powers, but she gave it up. She discovered that the rash she acquired from battling the Norn would have allowed her the Fae power of glamor, but she didn’t realize she had it nor how to manipulate the power at the time. Finally, she was given the opportunity to become Fae by a mysterious Druid, and this is where Bo’s trusty sidekick and the fate of her humanity were left in cliff-hanger fashion.

Fae or not, it’s Kenzi’s signature style in clothing, her pop culture-infused snark, and her ability to quote Ludacris like she’s reading a William Carlos Williams poem that keeps Bo and the gang grounded. Her humor reminds us that while Lost Girl can lean towards heavier (though mostly unreal) topics, it’s all in the name of fun, and ultimately balances moments that would come across more saccharine in nature otherwise.

[What would Kenzi do?...]

Dyson in Lost Girl Season 3 episode 13, Those Who WanderThe last episode of Lost Girl Season 3 is upon us (sob!), but there's still lots of Lost Girl and urban fantasy/paranormal romance goodness ahead at H&H. In the meantime, be sure to check out all of our Lost Girl recaps, from Season 1 and Season 2 to all the most recent happenings in Season 3.

Editor's Note: A shorter recap of Jackie Lester's thoughts on the episode was posted last week and can be found HERE with all its glorious discussion in the comments. And now, on to Kiersten's play-by-play of the Season 3 Lost Girl finale, 3.13, “Those Who Wander.”

I’d like to preface this recap by saying that I loved the season three finale of Lost Girl. LOVED it. It was fast-paced, featured everybody in the cast, focused on mythology (finally!), and had a sharp, sassy script. I want to get that out in front because I nit-picked the hell out of it as it was also filled with inconsistencies and fairly hemorrhaged plot holes…which is why we drink!

We open exactly where we left off with Bo beating the crap out of Blackwater Type #1. “Every kick from your boot,” he mumbles, “is bliss.” “Speaking of kinky,” Bo says breathlessly, “I’m gonna need your chi.” She blue chi sucks the shit out of him and lunges for where Tamsin lies on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Blackwater Type #1 gets the typical goofy smile on his face and falls back onto the ground. Bo pours red chi into the Valkyrie, but instead of charging her up, the chi floats away from Tamsin’s mouth and back into Blackwater Type #1. Increasingly desperate, Bo sobs, “Why isn’t this working?” She hurries back over to Blackwater Type #1 who mutters that it’s probably his fault. With her bloody hands, Bo grabs him by the lapels. “You tell me where you’re keeping the wolf,” she demands, but even with the returned chi, the dude is done and passes out. Bo’s arms are still extended and she kind of gestures of course you did. If Tamsin’s situation weren’t so dire, this would be a little funny.

[You know it's a season finale when stakes are already this high...]

Bo in Lost Girl Season 3Kiersten Krum will be offering her analysis on this episode of Lost Girl next week, but meanwhile, we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the latest in Bo's Merry Adventures by offering a first look at episode 3.13, “Those Who Wander,” which aired on Sunday night on Showcase in Canada.

NOTE: The Lost Girl Season 3 finale has NOT YET AIRED IN THE UNITED STATES. The finale, “Those Who Wander,” will air in the U.S. next Monday at 10 p.m. EDT on SyFy. This is a recap of the episode as seen on Showcase in Canada. Do NOT read this recap unless you have seen the episode or are willing to be TOTALLY SPOILED.

*****SPOILERS*****

We left off last week with Trick being stuffed into a trunk and a bittersweet moment coming from Aoife’s return and the realization that she’s been damaged in some unknown way. Here we open this week with Bo throwing punches at a human guard. She’s still trying to heal Tamsin, who’d been shot by the human. Bo tries the whole chi stealing thing, but it fails, at first looking like the chi has been swept away in a breeze, but it turns out it's returned to the previous owner. Strangely enough, the guard has been enjoying the beating and tells Bo this. Looks like he might’ve been a test subject for Taft as well as part of his security team.

Bo, frustrated and frantic, says to him, “You tell me where you’re keeping the wolf.” But apparently the beating was so effective that the guard either passes out or dies right in front of her. Oops! Then she tries to rouse Tamsin by shaking her and threatening her with death, which has little chance of succeeding in its nonsensical methodology and doesn’t. Her last-ditch effort is to send an appeal to Dyson through the air for his help in rescuing...himself? The cheese-o-meter hits the red line with that one.

[C'mon, Dyson, surely you can do it all?...]

Editor's Note: A shorter recap of Jackie Lester's thoughts on the episode was posted yesterday and can be found HERE. And now, on to Kiersten's play-by-play of Lost Girl 3.12, “Hail, Hale.”

Bo bursts into Doctor Lauren’s empty flat, Dyson behind her, and admits that she’s probably just overreacting. She flips on the switch Doctor Lauren so recently turned off and shouts up the stairs. “(Doctor) Lauren! If you’re here and you’re just ignoring me, I’m sorry for breaking in!” Dyson shoots her a look and saunters deeper into the flat only to pause at the end of Doctor Lauren’s desk. When she gets no answer, Bo seeks reassurance from Dyson. “See, it’s weird, right?” she says, crossing to him. “She hasn’t come by. She hasn’t answered any of my calls…” She just broke up with you and you expect her to come over for a visit or want to chat? Okey doke.

Bo’s voice tapers off as Dyson lifts up Doctor Lauren’s discarded mobile and silently holds it out to Bo. Processing, Bo steps closer as Dyson scrolls through the doc’s call history. “Why would anyone leave their phone behind?” Bo asks. “Ever?” Dyson gently suggests that maybe Doctor Lauren just forgot it. “Don’t do that, Dyson,” Bo immediately objects. “I am not crazy.” “Bo, I know you’re not crazy,” Dyson firmly states. After the kitsune debacle, he’s not about to make the mistake of doubting her again. That doesn’t mean he’s her pet sleuth either. “But I’m in the middle of the most important case of my life! Not to mention today is Hale’s inauguration—I don’t have time to play Relationship Detective.” HA! Oh, I would TOTALLY watch that show, at least for the one episode where he tried (and failed) to mitigate a relationship having already proven to be oh so successful as a high school guidance counselor.

[Detective Love's on the case...]

Hale in Lost Girl 3.12, Hail, HaleKiersten Krum will be offering her analysis on this episode of Lost Girl tomorrow, but meanwhile, we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the latest in Bo's Merry Adventures by offering a first look at last night's episode 3.12, “Hail, Hale”:

*****SPOILERS*****

We start this week off with Bo busting into Lauren’s place with Dyson right behind her. She calls out to Lauren, immediately apologizing for the B&E, but gets no response. They’re looking for clues to the Doc’s whereabouts, and boom! Before my clock hits the one-minute mark Bo confirms to Dyson that it is in fact not just 'a break'. Also, in an effort at scene and word conservation, Dyson addresses that he’s working on his biggest case, like, ever, and it’s inauguration day. Talk about cramming it all in quickly!

Meanwhile, over at the Dal...or is it? Trick is happy as could be, claiming his being hard on Hale, his protegé, has guided him in a great new direction for the Light. Kenzi scoffs at Trick, and questions Hale’s, uh, attitude. Trick warns Kenzi not to offer that opinion too freely around the Fae guests. She is a lowly human, after all. The Morrigan walks in, dissing the decor and saying she was invited to the shindig by Hale. Kenzi mouths off, despite the warning she got only a moment ago. I can’t see that boding well for her. Plus, Hale didn’t seem to like her comment much either.

[Caution may not be such a bad thing, Kenzi...]

Editor's Note: A shorter recap of Jackie Lester's thoughts on the episode was posted yesterday and can be found HERE. And now, on to Kiersten's play-by-play of Lost Girl 3.11, “Adventures in Fae-bysitting.”

At Hilton Hovel (drink!), Bo and Kenzi sit on the couch watching a slasher movie and bitching about the TSTL heroine. “Aaaannnddd cue the blonde in the baby doll dress walking into the woods…ah-lone!” Kenzi mocks. She settles back against Bo’s shoulder. “Human sashimi anyone?” Bo notes that she could rescue said blonde so easily. “Yes, yes, you can chi-suck yourself to victory,” Kenzi deadpans as she chomps down on popcorn. “You are a superstar. You really can do anything.” Anything except fix her relationship, Bo snarks and Kenzi agrees. “You suck at coupledom.” Truer words may never have been spoken on this show. Bo, however, takes mild affront. “I think what you meant was, ‘no worries, BoBo, you’re just on a break’?” Kenzi is right there with additional mockery as she replies, “Totes what I meant. Love conquers all. Soul mates for life. Carpe Lauren.” Let’s not go too far there, Kenz.

Bo fights back with more than a little sneer as she asks when the last time was that Kenzi had a date. “Dating’s so not a thing anymore,” Kenzi pffts. “It’s all about group hangs.” Actually, that would probably work better for Bo.

[Isn't that the truth...]

Bo and co. in 3.11, Adventures in Fae-bysittingKiersten Krum will be offering her full take on this episode of Lost Girl tomorrow (episode 3.11, “Adventures in Fae-bysitting”), but meanwhile, we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the latest in Bo's Merry Adventures by offering a sneak peek at what's to come:

*****SPOILERS*****

Tonight, the show opens with Kenzi and Bo watching a horror movie with alternating comments between how typical the movie is and how completely deluded Bo is about her break with Lauren. It seems everyone can see it but her. Kenzi offers as much sympathy as she can muster, which amounts to mostly a smile and lots of snark. The gist of the whole conversation is best summed up in K’s own words to Bo: “You suck at coupledom.”

We quickly shift over to a scene that could be the movie they were watching or an eerie parallel. A babysitter answers the phone, as K and Bo-Bo predicted moments ago. The call starts off with heavy breathing, intensifying the moment for the girl now scared in the house, alone. Kenzi and Bo had also screamed at the character in the movie to not answer the phone because obviously the caller is in the house, and death is probably imminent. The scene completely follows the Kenzi and Bo script, with the caller ID’ing himself as familiar to the girl, then getting downright creepy, describing the babysitter’s tank top and her ample cleavage.

[Oh no you didn't...]

At Hilton Hovel (drink!) and dressed in a red negligee, Bo contemplates her reflection in the full-length mirror. Presumably, this is the morning or soon enough after The Dawning. “I feel different,” she murmurs.  She shimmies in place and smiles. “I feel good.” Her eyes go succubus blue as they did at the end of the season 2 finale and she gets that same, evilicious look on her face as she did then too. “Oh, this is gonna be fun,” she chortles.

[Yeah, it is!...]

Linda Hamilton in Lost Girl Season 3, episode 10Kiersten Krum will be offering her full take on this episode of Lost Girl (“Delinquents”) tomorrow, but meanwhile, we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the latest in Bo's Merry Adventures by offering a sneak peek at what's to come:

We open with Bo wearing a pretty red negligee, looking at herself in the mirror, and smiling. Admiring the woman looking back at her now, she says, “I feel different. I feel good.” Then the eyes glow that sparkling blue colour and Bo adds, “Oh this is gonna be fun.” What could she possibly mean by that, I wonder?

Shocking Bo out of her reverie, Kenzi comes in, asking Bo to get her game face on. Someone’s trying to break into the Hilton Hovel. Punctuating Kenzi’s words is loud banging in the background. Considering the state of the place, try though they might to fix it up, you’d think a couple of good whacks would accomplish the would-be bad guy’s attempts to break down the door, but not so much.

Bo preps herself, still in red satin, with a baseball bat. Kenzi asks if she’s interrupting Bo’s softball game in her fab-snarky way. She suggests Bo instead arm herself with a “big girl weapon.”

[Oh, ouch, Kenzi!...]

Editor's Note: A mini recap of Megan Frampton's first thoughts on the episode was posted yesterday and can be found HERE. And now, on to Kiersten's full recap of Lost Girl 3.09, “Ceremony.”

We open on a lovely bedroom bathed in blue light so right away we know we’re in a dream world. The camera pans across the photos, an alarm clock that reads 3:01 AM, to the wood sleigh bed where Dyson sleeps…alone. His arm reaches out and he wakes when he only finds an empty pillow. Mildly alarmed, he sits up and looks toward what must be the bathroom. “Babe, are you okay?” he calls with concern. Bo pulls open the double doors and stands in the doorway. She’s wearing a stunning, white satin, foot-long nightgown. She tells him she couldn’t sleep. “Another bad dream?” he asks. Bo says she’s knows she hasn’t been herself lately.  Dyson shakes his head and says it’s okay as he stands. “And you have been so patient,” Bo continues. (Yes we have! Okay, maybe not so much patient as biding our time with clenched teeth.)

Dyson smiles softly. “I’m a husband,” he says with a shrug (OH IF ONLY). “It’s my job.” Bo says she just wanted to be sure before she told him. He frowns. “Okay, now you’re starting to freak me out a little,” he says in THAT VOICE and steps closer. Bo takes his hand in hers. “For the last few days, I feel like I’ve been going crazy.” With concern, Dyson asks her what’s wrong. Bo continues, “The things that I have been thinking and seeing…” He kind of braces himself a little for whatever is next. Bo drops the act and gets a smug, satisfied, happy smile on her face as she holds up the stick. “I’m pregnant,” she chimes. Dyson looks at the stick, looks at Bo, smiles and starts to laugh. Bo laughs too and they embrace with Dyson lifting her off her feet. Filled with love and joy, they can’t hold one another tight enough.

The End.

[You can't leave it there!...]

Bo is still going through the Dawning, some sort of Fae puberty thing that every Fae has to go through. Apparently it's super-hard, and if you fail, you become an UnderFae, kind of like an Orc, only less muddy.

As the show opens, it's 3:01 in a very blue bedroom, and Dyson is sleeping, reaching his hand out to an empty bed next to him. He wakes up and sees Bo, who's in this stunning Jean Harlow-ish white silk peignoir, emerging from a very yellow room.

She apologizes for acting crazy, and then makes the big announcement: She's pregnant. They embrace, with both of them clearly very happy.

[Whoa buddy!...]

Dyson, Bo, and Lauren in Lost GirlIt’s probably safe to say that vampires and werewolves have had their fair share of literary exposure over the years. Werewolves first appeared around 61 AD, in The Satyricon by Petronius. Vampires, at least in legend, had been around just as long, but not named or given attention in fiction until the early nineteenth century. But when it comes to paranormal creatures though, these guys are only the tip of the iceberg (and I’m not referring to Claudia Gray’s book with werewolves on the Titanic!) There are a myriad of other mythological beings out there that just might tickle your fancy or scare your pants off if you’ve decided it’s time for a change.

Myths and legends from the British isles have a history as long as those of the vampires and werewolves. Add to that a plethora of monsters, gods, and fantastical creatures, and the subject matter still has so much untapped potential that authors can use them easily while having the ability to create interesting, original twists. Everything from King Arthur to the Tuatha de Dannan has played out in fiction over the centuries. With each new series that features the Fae or pagan gods, it seems the lore is exposed more widely to readers.

Blindfolded, Bo wanders around The Dal (drink!), Stella at her heels, searching for a cricket. Yup, a cricket. As in Jiminy. “Here Crickety McCrickerson,” Bo calls softly. The insect’s chirps echo through the bar as behind Bo, a strained Stella asks if she wants to find the Zambian Cricket of Good Fortune or not. Before she can answer, Bo bumps into a table, which is a testament to Stella’s mad skillz as a guide dog. “Ow! I think my shins passed ‘good fortune’ two hours ago!” Grunting, she turns around and as Jiminy rubs his legs even more frantically, Bo makes her tentative way back toward Stella, who ‘helpfully’ gives her warm…warm…cold clues. “The stupid chirping is bouncing off every wall,” Bo complains as she eases past her coach. Stella, who is holding a small, engraved wooden box, tells Bo she needs to be able to distinguish the original sound from its echo. I feel like there should be an anvil alert there, but I’m not sure why.

We begin with a close up of Bo’s beautiful eyes and, for a moment, I wonder if the LivEvil split scene marketing image is about to come to life before our eyes. But no, Bo is merely down in Tolkien’s Lair (drink!) preparing for her first step to conquer the Tests of the Dawning.  She slowly blinks and Trick asks if she’s ready and Bo nods in a jerky motion. “Take a deep breath,” Trick encourages. “Try again.” Bo opens her eyes, breathes audibly, and slowly steps toward The Mirror of Erisod. Okay, fine, it’s an archway of entwined branches that frames an invisible threshold—one which proceeds to knock Bo back on her shapely ass. Trick makes a disappointed face but calmly asks what Bo did that time, as though she offended The Threshold somehow. Sprawled on the ground, Bo gives him A Look. “Begged the invisible threshold to knock me on my ass, obviously,” she snarks. “Was I not supposed to?”

Trick reminds her that most Fae have years to prepare for their Rites of Passage. “You have days before you devolve into something I have to keep in a cage!” Bo is not cowed. “Haven’t you always wanted a pet?” Trick sighs. “I see impending doom hasn’t affected your sense of humor,” he returns. Bo stalks across the room and frantically flips through a book on his desk. “This has to say how to get through the stupid door!” she insists. Trick patronizes that much is left to interpretation, “like I told you to—” But Bo has heard this litany too many times already. “Yes,” she interrupts, irritated, “to focus on the now. Shift consciousness and achieve an effortless merging of action and awareness,” she snits as she stalks back to The Threshold, clearly mimicking something Trick has said numerous times. “To allow yourself,” Trick reminds her laboriously, “to cross through The Threshold!”

**********SPOILERS********** 

At The Dal (drink!), Bo violently hustles NotKenzi (NK) inside and with her hand wrapped in NK’s hair to pin her neck, Bo throws her against the bar and in front of Trick. I kind of want to know how she managed to drive the succmobile and wrangle NK at the same time but whatever. (I miss the succmobile.) Behind them, Dyson looks up from playing pool with Tamsin. “I don’t know who this is, but it’s not Kenzi!” Bo spits at Trick. “You’re hurting me, Bo-Bo!” NK shrieks. “Don’t call me that! Kenzi calls me that! Where is she?!” Bo demands of NK. Dyson half steps toward the women, confused by what he seeing as it’s so totally not like Bo and Kenzi—but in a good character way not in a this-show-has-totally-redone-her-core-characters-to-suit-its-fan-biased-agenda way. Trick wants to know what Bo is doing and immediately calls for Dyson, who’s been slowly edging closer. “Let go!” NK yells. “Give me back my friend, we’ve got a deal, bitch,” Bo snarls just as Dyson takes the last few steps and grabs Bo from behind to hoist her off NK. “Bar’s closed!” he shouts as Bo struggles with all her might. NK plaintively insists, “I am your friend, Bo-Bo!” and Bo erupts again in Dyson’s hold, lunging for NK. “Don’t call me that!” Fighting to restrain Bo, Dyson yells for everyone to get out of The Dal (drink!). He releases Bo and turns her to him and she settles to a resting fume. “Bo, what’s going on?” he asks quietly. “I know it looks like Kenzi, but it is not her.” NK talks over her that they were having dinner and Bo just grabbed her. In a great seamless move, Bo segues right back over to NK “no I didn’t just GRAB you! She’s lying, Trick, she’s lying!” NK shouts “she’s gone total nuts!” as Trick comes out from behind the bar to stand between them and yells at them both to be silent. “One at a time!”

**********SPOILERS**********

We open in The Dal (drink!) where Bo and Doctor Lauren are scoping out doctor-approved Fae victims partners for Bo to bang feed from. Bo wonders “which one of these jokers” is “going down.” Doctor Lauren: “Poor things. They have no idea what they’re getting into.” Ah, I just got a knot in my belly. What the hell? Despite her words, the doc clearly is less entertained than Bo at the prospect of choosing a lover for her girlfriend, but she’s made this bed; she’s not lying in it.

As they tick through the crowd, Doctor Lauren and her super power of identifying genus and species of random Fae in their human forms just by looking at them discard one after another of Bo’s suggestions. “How 'bout I break that stallion’s back?” Bo asks nodding toward a hottie playing pool. Wait, what? Doctor Lauren identifies him as a hydra. “Nine heads,” she explains. “I see only one,” Bo counters, disappointed. Doctor Lauren nods smugly:  “Not those kinds of heads.” Oh, ewww. They have an amused non-verbal exchange. Bo is a little taken aback and then more than a little interested in trying out all nine as they turn back to the bar.

[All righty then...]

**********SPOILERS**********

We open up in Bo’s bedroom at Hilton Hovel (drink! heavily!) where Bo is loosely tied by the drapes to the bed post awash in sexual bliss as Doctor Lauren goes down on her. The next two or three minutes are, again, all about the lady love, making this the second episode of the first four in the new season to begin with an extensive doccubus sex scene. It’s official. Lost Girl to all extents and purposes has finished its total reinvention into The Supernatural L Word.

The scene is beautifully shot. It’s hard to be anything else when AS and ZP are so naturally beautiful. Heavy sighs and slow music backdrop lots of long shots of a sweaty back here, a toned belly there, the doc on top of Bo in a clinch, Bo bites her lip, the doc smiles, even full on groin to groin money shot—covered from the waist down by Bo’s sheets. And yet for all is technical beauty and actor full-on commitment the absence of any genuine chemistry not dependent on naked flesh is making me…yawwnnnnn. I said that out loud again, didn’t I? Drat.

[I think you may have, yeah...]

**********SPOILERS**********

Bo is in a derelict, very, very muddy boat yard fighting a giant. As you do. The bald, tattooed Dark Fae (I presume) gets Bo in a strangle hold and grunts that The Morrigan wants that photo. Guess I presumed right for a change. “Can’t blame her. Have you seen it?” Bo asks, laughing. “Awkward!” A berserker cry sounds just as Kenzi barrels into the fray, a chunk of stone? broken cement? held aloft as a weapon. Despite, or perhaps because of, her fervor, Kenzi epically wipes out in a trough of mud and slams flat onto her back. Not to be undone, she helpfully coasts down the mudslide to a stop right between Giant’s spread legs and slams her rock into Giant’s—erm—stones. Bo promptly breaks his hold and knocks him out with half a cinder block to the head. Those things are incredibly heavy, by the way. Kenzi stumbles to her feet and chortles. “Kenzi for the assist! YES!”

[And the crowd goes wild...]
