After a shaky start to the season, “SubterrFaenean” feels like a much better premiere and makes a better promise to the audience that good things are coming. It feels a lot more like the better episodes of seasons one and two, balancing the fun characters, an interesting ( Read more... )

It would’ve been nice if “Lost Girl” returned from hiatus with a fresh sense of purpose, a reinvigoration of the quality fun that made the show so enjoyable in the first season and was missing in too much of the second. But while the fun is certainly present, very little of ( Read more... )

This is the way the season ends: not with a tiny whimper, yet lacking the kind of epic bang that “Lost Girl” has been promising for some time. Viewers have been waiting patiently (or not-so-patiently) for a showdown between the heroes and the Big Bad, but what this ( Read more... )

The penultimate episode of season two plays out as the writer exercising their own storytelling indulgences. They’re trying to make the season arc work for what they want to do, and while it’s great to see some fun secondary characters make a return, there’s such an ( Read more... )

After a lot of ups and downs, “The Girl Who Fae’d With Fire” feels like the first episode in a while to cohesively bring together everything good about “Lost Girl” into the one episode and make it all work in a story. It’s not the most stand-out instalment, but the healthy ( Read more... )

“School’s Out” has all the hallmarks of a typical case-of-the-week episode. There are some undercover shenanigans, red herrings and blatant allegories, and were it not for a very humorous, light-hearted approach to the material this episode would’ve ( Read more... )

A weak A-story has unfortunately become par for the course when it comes to “Lost Girl”, and the episodes subsequently live or die based on the sideplots and character threads woven around them. Pleasantly, this episode was very strong in the latter category, creating an ( Read more... )

From minute one it seemed like this episode would crash and burn, between the villain who lacked any charisma and the show’s best character taking a road trip and only showing up via text messages. So it’s slightly amazing that when all’s said and done, this proved to be a ( Read more... )
