^Then there are the actually successful shows that can afford to maintain their production values while still keeping their cast intact. Unfortunately, after perhaps some initial interest,
Lost Girl seemed to decay into being a very niche cult show maintained only by Canadian content laws & its militant lesbian fanbase.
Didn't want to spoil it. Mainly, I'm just wondering why they'd kill her off, bring her back, then write her out anyway. Why not just leave her dead?
The thing I did forget to comment about, since I didn't really think it through until later, was that the invisible ghost/demon thing basically raped Lauren under the pretense of being Bo, and nobody in the story seems to think that's a problem.
I guess Lauren just feels embarrassed that she didn't do her due diligence in establishing the ghost's identity before she let it get all up in her business.
Still, is it just me or is everyone getting stupider on this show? First, even though she knows that the Hell Shoes might be dangerous and turned Flora into a raging psycho killer back in "La Fae Epoque," Bo still puts them on right away and can't even be bothered to wait half an hour for Lauren to set up all of her monitoring equipment. (BTW, if there's a risk that Bo might go into psycho rage killer mode, wouldn't it be smart to have Dyson hang around in case she needs to be physically restrained?) Then, when Trick gives Kenzi the magic ouija board or whatever the hell it was, he specifically tells her not to use it until they're absolutely sure about what they're summoning. So just because the ghost could replicate some of Bo's sex moves on Lauren, this counts as enough evidence to try summoning her? And shouldn't they be consulting Trick further on the matter since he seems to have more expertise in this sort of thing? If they did, then they wouldn't have (1) summoned a dangerous ghost onto this plane of existence and (2) been forced to destroy another one of Trick's priceless fae artifacts.
This show just isn't making much sense any more. Like, in "Big in Japan," why would a legendary Japanese warrior require Bo to be his bodyguard when Bo's only real skill is having sex with people? I know the Japanese warrior turned out to be a fraud taking credit for his sister's exploits, but Bo never even asked the question. Or was Bo just keeping Tamsin company? (Granted, Bo did show some pretty impressive sword skills against Lachlan back in "Barometz, Trick, Pressure." But even then, there was never any explanation about how she got so skilled with a blade.)
Also, Dyson & Tamsin talk as if she still has a job with the police department. I'd figured she was totally fired after she went AWOL for several weeks when she died at the end of Season 3. Even when she came back in Season 4, it still seemed to take a few weeks before she grew to full size again in "Turn to Stone." And ever since then, she's been really flaky and probably unemployable.
Also, where did Lauren get the money to set up this sweet new doctor's office? I was always under the impression that the Light Fae didn't pay her very well and she didn't seem to be working for the Dark Fae long enough to build up much of a nest egg. Did she embezzle the funds from the Dark? Would anyone even notice now that Evony is gone?
It seems like maybe after the Una Mens were killed that the Light Fae & Dark Fae hierarchies both disbanded. I guess that makes sense since there seem to be some pretty hefty power vacuums now. First, Hale's coronation turned into a total clusterfuck. Then the Una Mens made Trick the new acting-Ash, a job that it never seemed like he wanted and a job that we never saw him actually performing during the entire time that he had it in Season 4. Then Lauren turned Evony human. And now I guess Bo's example has inspired everyone else to say "Fuck the rules" and no one has bothered to appoint, elect, or select a new Ash for the Light or a new Morrigan for the Dark. That seems like a pretty massive power shift which has gotten almost no coverage so far. What gives?
