While she was torn between two lovers in season one, Bo’s love life became even more complicated with the introduction of Nadia and Ciara, the love interests of her love interests, in season two. Both characters were brought on for essentially the same purpose — to make Bo’s love interests even more out of reach — but they received very different treatment in their storylines. We discuss their characterizations, their relationships with Bo, and their deaths.

We compare Kenzi to Xander and Dawn as part of our series of discussions about comparisons between the characters on Lost Girl to the characters on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We also compare Kenzi to other great “sidekicks,” including Claudia from Warehouse 13, Chiana from Farscape, Felix from Orphan Black, and Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess.

Kenzi is the ultimate snarky sidekick, always there for Bo with a witty remark or hug, and her relationship with Bo is often cited to be the core of Lost Girl. We discuss Kenzi’s humanity as her “superpower,” her relationships (and their importance) with others on the show, and the possibility of Kenzi becoming Fae.

Many fans have praised the selection of popular music used on Lost Girl, and in this episode Stephanie, Annie, and Kris talk about their favorite song moments on the show. We also asked on Twitter which song picks were listeners’ favorites, and we discuss some of those as well.

The newest addition to the Lost Girl gang, Tamsin is brash, callous, and ambiguous in her loyalties much like the hardboiled detectives of noir crime dramas. We talk about how Tamsin compares to noir detectives like Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, including how Tamsin acts as a foil to other characters and her burgeoning redemption story arc.

Our Buffy vs. Lost Girl series continues with a discussion of Lauren. Like Willow, Lauren brings the nerd cred to solving the mysteries of the week, keeping calm and carrying out experiments, but she actually has far more in common with Tara in regards to personality and her place within the Lost Girl world. We talk about the comparisons that can be made between Lauren and these two characters from Buffy.

Kris Holden-Ried, K.C. Collins, and Paul Amos were guests at Dragon*Con 2013 where they did three lively Q&A panels as well as signed autographs and took pictures with fans. In addition, there were also a couple of fan events. Hear what Kris and Stephanie thought were the highlights of the con, including Paul Amos in drag, what K.C. thinks about Hale’s suits, and Kris’ take on the conclusion of the love triangle.

Most of the Lost Girl cast made an appearance at Fan Expo 2013, doing a Q&A panel and a brief autograph session afterward. Annie was in attendance at Fan Expo this year, and she reports on her adventures at the con. Hear Ksenia Solo’s thoughts about running in Kenzi’s boots, the most dangerous moment of Linda Hamilton’s career, and more.

Many critics and viewers have noted the similarities between Lost Girl and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Lost Girl is certainly an offspring of sorts of Buffy. Inspired by a tangent cut from the discussion about Dyson, we explore how Dyson and Angel resemble and differ from each other.

Dyson is often described as an “alpha male,” and while he certainly does act out that role often, his portrayal and his storyline includes some elements that differ from the stereotypical alpha male. We discuss his non-romantic relationships with women, whether he could be in a non-monogamous relationship with Bo, and more.
