So I just watched the first episode of Lost Girl from Showcase. Hmm...lots of potential and not bad. Some good one liners too.

I give it a 8/10. Could be better (special effect wise at least) but the writing is actually pretty good. :)

Oh sorry, I forget sometimes how spread out we are geographically :)

Lost Girl is about a girl (go figure) who was lost (duh) as a child and is now trying to find out about her past.

The thing is, she's a Fae. That's right, FAERIE. The Fae are divided between light and dark, and there are all sorts of politics involved apparently. Our amazing heroine instead of being a simple oh...were wolf, or maybe even a brownie, is instead, a succubus. That's right, as in, she sucks so hard, your soul goes poof.

Needless to say, she's hot. The male interest is someone I've never seen, but he pulls off the primal Faerie warrior thing pretty well. Lots of possible plot threads to be exploited, and amazingly the writing is pretty damn good. Production values aren't the highest I've ever seen, but then this is Showcase, not HBO, so you have to cut them some slack. That having been said, because the show can't rely on flashy digital effects, the writing has to pick up the slack. There's a sidekick, she's kinda cute, a bit goth, a little emoish, but very mouthy and sassy, like teenagers tend to be nowadays.

I apparently missed the first 3 episodes to school work, but I did manage to find the torrents for them, so I know they are out there. in any case, worth the bandwidth to download them.

I just caught up on this show. Very interesting indeed. The lack of crazy special effects makes it seem less like an alternate universe, and more like something that might happen right under our noses. The basic types of Fae seem to be executed within traditional bounds but they don't just focus on the popular types that everyone and their little sister knows about. I'm still trying to identify the type of a couple characters.

For only having three episodes to judge, I definitely like this show and plan to continue watching!

Ok... I was able to find the first episode and watch it. Now, how does a Texan get to watch it?
