Everything I Wanted from a Show

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.

LOST GIRL: The Fangirling

So, it took me a little over an hour to go from reading marina's post about Lost Girl, to watching the first episode, to full-on fangirling. I am in love with this show. I don't care that it has the worst name ever*, that the SFX are hilarious and the puns make my brain leak out of my ears. It stars a hot, leather-clad, canonically bi succubus with an adorable sidekick. She has a love triangle with a man and a woman. There is a siren, who's a cop yes, he's a police siren. There are ~Fae~ of many different kinds! There could be mermaids, or unicorns. I mean, no, but a girl can dream. And by dream, I mean write fic.

This show is everything I wanted that one book to be, but it wasn't. It's a show about a succubus where she's being sexy, and likes sex a lot. It has the added bonus of defanging the whole theological devil angle and just going with her being (in so many words) a sex-vampire, which neatly sidesteps much of the skeeviness. It has an adorable sidekick, a hot lady doctor who kisses ladies FOR SCIENCE! and everybody wears black all. the. time. The crack. It is DELICIOUS. Now pardon me, because I think my episode loaded.

* Not even remotely. Look, they were gonna make a Sex and the City-with-werewolves show and call it ~Bitches~. I mean.
