2nd ep on SyFy was a real drop off. Still smokin hot succubus, so that's good.

It has been inconsistent on episode quality through the first season and a half, but most of the main characters are likeable enough to overlook some of that. I think Kris Holden-Ried is the weak link acting wise, which was most obvious in last week's original episode (the one on Showcase not Syfy).

But I think similar things can be said about almost all other shows. Remember Buffy's clunky first season?

I gave Lost Girl a go based on this thread actually as I have been looking for a new show to try and engage with, but I couldn't get into it. Main reason for me is the lead. I just don't think she is that character at all.

But I don't want to dismiss the joys that most are feeling here, so I hope you'll all continue to enjoy it.

I might try and give Ringer a go....

I would never say I love Lost Girl, although I do love the character of Kenzi.

It's a guilty pleasure, no more, no less. I'm sure we all have some of those.

How DARE you compare this to Buffy !

ha ha - j/k !

yeah, I was actually going to compare LG to Primeval. For me, the characters were well enough developed, but the stories and situations they were put... ugh! Ridiculous.

I'll trudge along and watch the 1st season, simply because Ms Silk is so damn fine.

Anna Silk must be a playname because no one has that cool of a name in real life and is pretty to go with it.

According to her IMDb profile, her birth name is Anna Catherine Silk.

She reminds me a bit of Holly Marie Combs, from Charmed. Similar look, great pair of....eyes.

I've just seen S2 ep 3 (Scream A Little Dream), and the Ash seems to be going out of his way to piss Bo off. Making poor Lauren kneel before him - did he do that to deliberately get under Bo's skin, or is he really that much of a dick?

I do wish the writers wouldn't keep interrupting Bo when she's trying to find out stuff - first the Blackthorn turns up when she's asking Trick about the Norn (is she going to try to tackle that harridan? Eep! Bad idea, very bad!), then the Ash barges in just when Lauren's about to tell all. I know there're plenty of eps in the season yet, but it's frustrating!

One thing no-one else has mentioned: Benjamin Pinkerton's music. He seems to have upped his already high game; I loved the music for the stag hunt. I'm also gradually putting together a Lost Girl playlist based on the various tracks they're using, adding tracks that appeal to me as I identify them. Here's what I've got so far:

Lost Girl theme track (extended mix), courtesy of the Showcase website

I Know What I Am (Band Of Skulls), S1 ep 1

Pretty Life (Jakalope), S1 ep 5 (I actually had this on CD, though I'd forgotten; the album is It Dreams)

Sour Cherry (The Kills), S1 ep 8

Madman (Clara Klein), S1 ep8

War Machine (Crooked Valentine), s1 ep 8

The next added will be the one from S1 ep 10, where Bo and Kenzi are waxing their weapons, once I find out which track it is.

Now a question for our US/Canadian fans. UK TV channels have an incredibly annoying habit when it comes to such shows, viz. they don't show the episode titles. I'm pretty sure they do in the US at least; I recall seeing a VCR recording of an episode of Prey (the one with Debra Messing and Adam Storke, remember that?), and the episode's title was shown. So what's the deal here? Does anyone know?
