Everything I Wanted from a Show

[lea_hazel]

I finished watching all four episodes of Lost Girl and I am in love forever OMG. This is everything I want in an urban fantasy show! And the next episode in on tomorrow, so I can watch it on Monday, and I don't have to angst about waiting too long. I want to write fic, but I don't know what. Midseason fic is always a dubious proposition. What if Lauren's entire backstory shows up in like, episode six? Plus I haven't written fic in so long, I'm rusty.

I wish I had my computer, then I'd make Sims of everyone and it would satisfy my fannish cravings.

One of the things I love about this show is that Bo hardly ever broods, despite having plenty of reason to. She smiles more in an average episode than Angel did in five seasons, or Batman in seventy years and oh, five or so mediums.

Episode 4! SO MANY HAPPY SMILEY MOMENTS WITH BO AND KENZI!

WRITE ME FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC COME ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO

I love that with this show, the main love triangle people could actually have a threesome and it would NOT SOLVE ANYTHING ahaha

Something I've noticed, and I think this is what has made the show awesome at times when other shows would have Failed, is that even when things are taken out of Bo's hands, things in her life still happen on her terms. Not her libido's terms (which, in this case, is a bit different from the norm with female characters and sexual desire) or Dyson's terms or the terms of the two sects of Fae, but on Bo's terms.

(TBH, almost all my fears were erased when I learned that it's from the same brain as Queen of Swords. Because while that show wasn't perfect or even necessarily "good" in terms of pure quality/acting, when it came to female narratives, autonomy and narratives, it pretty much never slipped up.)
