Drinks At The Dal: A Lost Girl Podcast

After learning from The Una Mens that she had somehow pledged herself to the Dark, Bo goes looking for Vex to try to undo it. Promising to help her find Vex, The Morrigan invites Bo to a Dark Fae party where she discovers that Lauren has also been taken into the fold. Kenzi and Tamsin discover that Bruce has been made a slave to another Fae as punishment for helping Kenzi, and they try to free him. Trick is summoned before The Una Mens who have some questions about The Blood King.

Lost Girl showrunner Emily Andras was kind enough to join us for a chat. We ask her about how the writing process works on Lost Girl, if the writers are still planning to hold Kenzi to that favor she owes The Morrigan from "Table for Fae," who came up with the brilliant idea for that car wash promo, and whether she has a bet going with the other writers to get Ksenia Solo to make out with as many of her fellow cast members as possible.

When Massimo steals the furniture from the clubhouse because of Kenzi's debt, Bo must return to Lauren's apartment for an herb to pay him, and she discovers some surprising things. While he tries to find Lauren, Dyson babysits Tamsin, who is going through some changes. Meanwhile, Lauren deals with her captors, who have an interesting request.

After escaping from a mysterious train on another plane, Bo comes across a family being haunted by a vengeful ghost. Still in search of Bo, Dyson joins forces with Clio to track her down. Lauren gets closer to her co-worker Crystal, but that relationship may be in jeopardy because Lauren's past seems to be catching up with her.

Dyson teams up with a tracker to find Bo, who doesn't seem to be on this plane anymore. While Kenzi babysits a tiny Tamsin, Hale tries to muster enough nerve to tell Kenzi how he feels about her. Lauren encounters a Fae while she's in hiding, which helps her bond with her co-worker, Crystal.

When Kenzi and Dyson take on a case for a new client whose memory of her daughter has been erased, they soon realize that their memories have been tampered with as well. To find out what they've lost, they attend a gala of a rich man who owns a device that might restore their memories. Meanwhile, everyone is adjusting to the recent changes in local government with Vex ascending to the position of The Morrigan and a group of Fae called the Una Mens surfacing.

Hale has been through some changes since we first met him, evolving from a more one-dimensional ladies' man character to a more fleshed out individual struggling with people's expectations of him. We discuss Hale's journey from sidekick to acting Ash, Hale's approach to power, how his character challenges gender expectations, and more.

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.

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 as well as announce a new podcast that's starting up soon!

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.

Dragon*Con 2013 is fast approaching, and there are several Lost Girl-related events this year. We discuss the current schedule of Lost Girl events, offer suggestions for other events that are worth going to, and offer some resources for new attendees.

The Morrigan's hulking, soft-spoken henchman Bruce emerged as one of the more delightful surprises of season three. We discuss Bruce's small but revealing story arc and where we hope to see his story go in season four. Also, we share a few announcements about FanExpo 2013 and Dragon*Con 2013.

Trick is the most mysterious character on Lost Girl, which is saying a lot given the amount of secret-keeping that goes on amongst Bo and her circle of friends and family. We explore some of the (many) unanswered questions about Trick. How did he become The Blood King? What have been some consequences of Trick using his powers? How far would he go and who would he sacrifice to protect "the greater good"? We also discuss one fan's analysis of Trick as a villain.
