You know what didn't suck? The latest episode of
Lost Girl, that's what! Surprising actually, considering that for the past couple of weeks I've been bored to tears by irritating douchebag characters (read: Ryan) and lacklustre plots. Here I was, getting ready to watch Sunday's episode with the familiar 'which character are they going to ruin this week' thought milling around my brain, when instead my thoughts sped from 'wait, WHAT?!' (in a good way, of course) to 'I am actually going to cry', via 'SHOW IS BREAKING MY HEART' and 'mission badass: completed'. Best episode in AGES - Lost Girl has officially got its mojo back!

Alas, poor Doccubus - I knew them well!
As expected, given that we're now on episode 19 of 22, a few humongous developments in the whole 'can't sleep, Garuda'll eat me' arc are finally coming to fruition - Nadia's death was particularly gut-wrenching, and I just wanted to hug distraught Lauren until forever so she'd never have to cry again. It was so sad, and Nadia's last pleas to save herself and Lauren gave her character the noble end she deserved. What will be interesting now is how this changes her relationship with Bo; she's sure as hell not going to be able to forget that her beloved succubus killed the woman she loved and looked after for over 5 years, no matter the motive. Let's just hope the writers don't decide to make her go to that crazy insane place we saw 'Lauren' in for season 3...
The Best of the BFFs
This week was almost like a will they/won't they, except in terms of our Dynamic Duo and their presumed inseparability - we all knew Kenzi would stick by her favourite Suckyaface, but she definitely sacrificed a lot to get to that point. This is what I love about that tiny human: she is one of the strongest characters on the show, and yet she's 'just a human'. Goes to show that what makes a great TV character is fabulous writing, not superpowers (I'm looking at you, thankfully-now-departed
Heroes). That little scene at the end totally broke my heart and really brought back a feeling of the essence of season 1 - that feeling that the world is darker than we can all stand sometimes, but that there's kindness to be found in unusual places and done in unusual ways; it emphasises that universal truth that I really think season 1 hammered home - the noblest path is rarely the easiest.
The deep-rooted almost-cryingness nearly leaking from my eyes wasn't helped by this beautiful, ethereal song from
Agnes Obel, who I will be iTunes-ing for some time. The song in that last teary scene is called 'Close Watch', and here it is on YouTube. Enjoy.
