Thank you, Canada! Because of your commitment to science-fiction programming, we Americans can mooch off you to fulfill our own television needs. Syfy announced today that it's ordered a fourth season of
Lost Girl, which is currently in its third season. The order is for a lucky 13 episodes.
The announcement comes simultaneously with Canadian broadcaster Showcase revealing that it will produce a fourth season of its top-rated show. Syfy takes advantage of the cheaper cost of importing the show, making it a lot easier to air another season of
Lost Girl than it is to air another season of, say,
Alphas, which it footed the bill for itself. Syfy also borrows
Continuum from Showcase.
Lost Girl follows seductive succubus Bo (Anna Silk) as she straddles the line between the forces of good and evil, and the responsibilities of the human and supernatural worlds. Also, apparently stuff like this happens:

Lost Girl airs Mondays at 10pm on Syfy.

I also like scope/range it covers from myth to modern topics/issues.
OK, the women are hot... But they are also interesting, (really)
I'm also glad that it's not made in USA cause the "nuts" would have shut it down by now ;)
Which also makes me wonder why the late night reruns on syfy & chill went away suddenly.
I won't spoil, I'm just saying... it might make you feel better
Please get back to the roots- heh- but even running at half speed- this show is awesome! Keep fighting the good fight- for good TV :)
Lost Girls worst Episode could kick the @$$ of any other show on air today!
I too hope they make next season a FULL one, They better- with THIS long of a wait!
I also agree with an earlier comment that they are making Lauren out to be this boring nerdy doctor (who even utters doctor stuffs during sex), I wish they give her a more punchy storyline... in time.
Dyson's evil (& of course gorgeous) partner isn't quite as evil as we'd been led to believe - more please, cuz I like it when you force me to like someone evil LOL
Meanwhile, Kenzi has to live with the consequence for destroying the Norn's tree. She's tried to bring the issue up but nobody will pay attention. We'll have to wait for the rest of the season to see that storyline resolved.
Good to know.
Sincerely.
I'm not being fae-cetious.
Watching something midseason, it's not possible to "get" what makes you want to come back and watch the next one. You're so disconnected from the characters and the overall plot that you just don't care, and I'm correct in my analysis that you don't know what it is you're talking about.
The story lines are actually not that bad. Kind of like a sexy version of Dresden Files
But I love that you feel that watching the first couple of episodes lets you pass judgement on a show to someone else. Especially when it takes a while for a show to find its footing. Early ST TNG was down right horrible but it got great, there are other examples
I'm not saying Lost Girl is thought provoking, but there's more to it than T and A
Well gee- that makes a lot more sense though- thanks!
Wonder if the DvDs are edited for the US too... :)
Wait, are there DvDs.... looks like i am headed shopping!
And yeah, they do edit out many nude scenes and at least scale them down.
But for Lost Girl, I don't know what they'd be cutting out. They drop s-bombs frequently and we see plenty of brief nudity. So unless they're cutting out full-blown topless scenes (see the high-beams) I'm pretty sure it's uncut.
You come for the liberal and lesbian sex, but you stay for the ray of gorgeously snarky light that is Kenzi. (Was there anyone else squirming in their seat while Faux-Kenzi was gallivanting around? Kissing/straddling Dyson, betraying Bo, being Kenzi-like but unquestionably missing that je ne sais quois of awesome Kenzi-ness. It was torture! It also made me realize how important she is to the show. Thank god our hellaciously hot homegirl wasn't out of commission for too long. She's just so damn lurv-able!)
KENZI NATION!
Shes my 2nd favorite thing- the stories always -well used to- get me-
but you're right- she is probably my favorite character- and so lurv-able :)
Show is very campy but entertaining and they are not hang up of sexuality... just a little bit like Torchwood! Awsome!
Why is Bo kissing Tamsin? Awesome!!!!!! but .. Spoiler alert. TV.com Why don't you cover this show anymore? This show continues to get better and still boasts the best female relationship of any show on television in Bo and Kenzie, yet this site only covers "Being Human" which is easily the most boring show on SyFy Mondays with the bookends of "Continuum" and "Lost Girl" being two of the best shows this network has ever aired. Get with the program. You also stopped your "Continuum" reviews as well. Go Canada!!!!
LOL - i i had a different reaction to the Tasmin kiss- mine was eww- why isnt she kissing Dyson :-
But i will happily sacriifice my unending desire to see them reunite - if it means ratings from you fellas to keep it on the air ;)
Even funnier, the show on the same night as these two CANADIAN shows, Being Human, is an American remake of the BRITISH show, Being Human (which, if you don't already know is INFINITELY better than the American version. Go watch it now!!!!!)
Remember when Syfy used to have it's own shows on Mondays? Eureka (cancelled
), Alphas (cancelled), Warehouse 13 (still on, but I am horribly terrified it will not be long for this world either, since both of its sister shows have been cancelled). Ah, the good old days!
It all seemed to change after they changed their name, and WHSE 13 seems a little diff also, I got season 1&2 DVD and they talk about some admin peep changes :( but knowing Lost girl isn't a SciFi made show makes me :-) already ordered bluerays ! Besides I can't wait to see the "real" versions and not the watered down censored cable version.... I'm way past 21 and can't even find the words for what I think of US TV and their "values"
This network has one good show in its roster in "Haven". They seemed to have broken "Warehouse 13" and unless they stop writing Pete as a barely functioning idiot I don't think it can be fixed. "Alphas" was such a good show - they had a game Adadamy Award nominee in David Straitharn creating a wonderful television character and they canceled the show? It got decent cable ratings. I think when they canceled that show it killed whatever hope anyone had that this network cared about its audience at all. That cancelation was the white flag.
I think "Lost Girl" is kind of fantastic. Michelle Lovretta is the female Joss Whedon IMO.
Some people I know are afraid that this is turning into the whole STARZ / Torchwood fiasco... where STARZ essentially took over for a new season of Torchwood with... mixed reviews at best. But that's a different animal: STARZ was actually doing some of the producing and stuff while SyFy is just cutting Showcase a check to air their recordings.
The US is 1 year behind on Continuum and I THINK is/was 1 week behind on Lost Girl. Though a friend says he thinks we're caught up on Lost Girl now.
So, you either review after the Canadian airing (which spoils for the US) or you review after the US airing (which is a yawn-fest for Canadians).
Meanwhile, Being Human is actually decent... though nowhere near as good as Lost Girl
eBut I'm glad Lost Girl is coming back for another season!! Mean I get to see more Dyson and Bo... IF THEY WOULD JUST GET BACK TOGETHER ALREADY!!! :/ I don't like Lauren, and not just because she's with Bo... just something about her I don't like... LOL
But then i liked a lot about this show in previous seasons-
I think they must have lost a writer or two-
I hope not- because I miss the more intricate storylines :)
I believe SyFy just agreed to license it for another seasons of airing in the US, following Showcase announcing that they're going to make a 4th season.
Like if the US ratings of Lost Girl were low... Showcase and Canada would still enjoy it but SyFy might decide to do something else in that timeslot
Now, it might still be too low if it costs a lot to produce. But since SyFy is just licensing it the price is probably a lot less.
Two weeks ago, Lost Girl came in 31st out of about 36 shows with a 1.033 overall and 28th in that demo with a 0.4. Being Human was 1.153 (28th) and 0.5 (25th). This week being Human in under 1.0 while Lost Girl was not on.
Pawn Stars came in 1st two weeks ago with 5.013 overall and 5th in that demo with 1.5. Wrestling was 1st in the 18-49 demo with 1.6.
SyFy Monday ratings are not good.
Also it looks like Tamsin may become Bo's new lover - yay!!!
lol
Back to Dyson or Bust! ::P
