lgAhh, now this is what I’m talking about for a race to the finish line!

Steve Cochrane pens this week’s penultimate episode of the season and it’s definitely getting ready to pull out all the stops for the finale next week (unfortunately I’ll be away and won’t be able to see it until I get back, oh well).

I realize that perhaps the show can’t be like this all the time, but this one was pretty much firing on nearly all cylinders!

Bo (Anna Silk) almost takes a back seat with everything that is going on…

It’s supposed to be Hale’s (K.C. Collins) inauguration as Ash, and we learn he’s been trying to broker a form of peace with the Morrigan (Emanuelle Vaugier), and has actually invited her to attend the event, a huge first.

halemorriganThere’s still some friction between Hale and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) who still thinks he’s acting like a douche.

Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is off with Isaac (Shawn Doyle) working in a lab, and coming up with something that Isaac exploits, as a poison. We were right not to trust him because he’s apparently involved in hunting the Fae down, having them fight against one another, and studying them. The dead ones apparently end up in that mass grave Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) discovered in last week’s ep.

Tamsin is still a bit of a drunk this week, dealing with things she know she has to do, but I don’t think wants to do any longer, and ends up in the bath with Bo for a moment… I do like their chemistry together, it just feels, well… naughty in the sexiest way.

trickLater at the Dal as Bo and Dyson have a chat a very familiar looking human bartender Jerry (Seth Cooperman) as Trick (Rick Howland) had to get ready for the ceremony. It seems though Jerry has been put in place by Isaac, and poisons Dyson, a blatant attack by a human on a Fae.

Dyson wakes up and finds himself having to fight a cage match to the death while his captor watches from the  open rooftop of an observatory. Great location!

Bo learns that Tamsin is up to no good with the potion she’s been preparing, Lauren discovers that Isaac is more evil than he initially appears, and the Morrigan uses the attack on Dyson to hold a vote of no confidence for Hale, and then proclaims that all claimed humans by any Fae are now terrorists, they are to be seized and await the setting of a date for their execution.

jpegThis rockets things along to Hale and Kenzi finally sharing a kiss, a long overdue one, while surreptitiously slipping the key for her handcuffs into her jacket pocket. There’s also a Fae wandering about, pestering Kenzi for the length of the episode about what if she were Fae, or had Fae powers… Kenzi thinks it’s a bit of a con, and I have to agree. I also hope that Kenzi doesn’t become Fae. It’s a more interesting dynamic having her as the outsider, but still family.

Tamsin gets shot, there’s a last second revelation, Trick gets kidnapped!!

Everything happens fast and furious in this episode, it’s just one thing after another, ratcheting up the tension…

laurenThe Wanderer is neither heard or mentioned by name at least, in fact the song doesn’t make an appearance at all in this episode as far as I can tell, though there is a nice cover of The Minstrel Boy playing in the Dal.

One of the things that we’d been talking about all week was the fact that Lauren left her mobile on her counter top, which Bo addresses as soon as she comes in, though no one asks why she left it on… Was it just so that we could see that Bo was calling last week as she was leaving?

This was a great episode to lead us into the final adventure of the season… I’ll be interested to see how many story threads are tied off, and what’s left unresolved for next season…

Lost Girl S03E09 – The Ceremony

lgThings get a little more Lynchian this week, with a script by James Thorpe and directed by Lee Rose. Bo (Anna Silk) under goes her Dawning, by entering the Temple. She can only get out when she has the key in hand.

We also get a little more hint of The Wanderer, while Bo (Anna Silk) is in the first part of the Temple (which looks remarkably like the Dal) and the classic tune by Dion is playing. Trick (Rick Howland), however, at the end of the episode says not him. So The Wanderer isn’t a reference to Bo, but someone (thing) that’s coming. Hmmm.

The crux of the episode if Bo going through the Temple to survive the Dawning and hopefully not devolve into some under-Fae.

Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) volunteers as her Hand, or protector in the Temple, which also means she doesn’t have to declare an alignment with the Light or Dark. She only takes Dyson after Lauren (Zoie Palmer) advises her she will need any advantage she can use. It’s nice to see that even though Lauren is hurting from the events of last week’s ep, she still loves Bo enough to show when she knows Bo needs her.

boUnder Stella’s (Deborah Odell) eye, which she doesn’t look on Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) kindly with, Bo and Dyson enter the Temple. Or rather apparently, reappear in the Dal, which is empty but for a radio playing The Wanderer and an old man referring to himself as The Caretaker. From there, they wander through a mish mash of rooms and realities, populated by familiar looking characters behaving in slightly off ways (although both Anna and Zoie look great in police uniforms!) and possible existences there in the Temple.

Now at this point, there can be a lot of conjecture, thoughts and even arguments about what everything means in the Lynchian creations inside the Temple, I also think that on repeated viewings watching all the details (though the pictures of that model showed up way too often, I felt like I was being hit over the head with it – sorry), and I mean all of them, there will be more and more revealed. Not only about Bo’s character but things to come. That’s my instinct anyway.

Bo’s resurrection of  Dyson by taking chi from her friends in the Dal was a little questionable. It’s no doubt she cares for him, and he’s finally revealed that he still loves her, and of course Bo has never played by the rules, but I was hoping she would at least have asked.

lostgirl309That one instant, for me, shows what a threat Bo could be to not only the Dark, but those she calls her friends and family as well.

And speaking of friends and family, I love the moment Trick and Kenzi had about what would happen should Bo not come through the Dawning as herself, and Trick confesses he sees the human as family. A long overdue moment and scene.

Having just checked the episode page on the Showcase site, apparently this episode is rather polarizing, and a lot of people are furious about the way Bo has treated Lauren. Neither side of the relationship is perfect, and this relationship with Lauren is obviously going through growing pains, like all relationships. It can’t be sunshine and roses all the time, otherwise the characters don’t change or grow.

Give it time, which we know Bo has now that she’s survived the Dawning. Now that is sorted, maybe she can get her love life on track…

Thoughts?

Lost Girl S03E08 – Fae-ge Against The Machine

lgThis week’s episode sees Bo (Anna Silk) dealing with the incredibly fast approach of her Dawning, and ends with the fantastic image of Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten) standing in a rain shower of tarot cards depicting someone (thing?) called The Wanderer, and leaving us wondering what the hell this has to do with our favorite succubus?!

Alexandra Zarowny scripts this week with direction by Andy Mikita, and the story ends up being a cross between Jumanji, David Fincher’s The Game, and a little High Noon. Draw from that what you will.

Trick (Rick Howland) and Stella (Deborah Odell) are trying to prepare Bo for her invitation to the Temple, a rite of passage on the way to her Dawning. However, the arrival of a machine while Bo isn’t there, though she accidentally activated it before she left, means that a dangerous game has already started, and Trick must play in her stead.

Unfortunately, all of this happens on a special night for Lauren (Zoie Palmer) as she is being recognized for some of her work with an award.

fae-geAnd Bo just can’t seem to get away as she and Tamsin work to help Balzac (Ryan Belleville) rescue a decidedly odd young Fae, Hannah (Allie MacDonald) whose tears serve as highly potent drug in the Fae underworld.

Some of the moments feel downright Lynchian, including Bo’s interaction with the gatekeeper before entering Brazenwood, which looks like the Fae version of hillbilly hell, leading to a final showdown on what I guess would be the main street.

The episode is fun, but for me the best part is the new added factor of The Wanderer and Tamsin wondering and fearing (!) that Bo may be the One.  Hmmm!

I love the fact that though Bo didn’t know it, but Trick was helping her, guiding her, and helping in her choices as he plays the Machine’s game, which presents two choices at a time, and he has to pick the one that he believes Bo would, and his choices directly affect her.

That was cool, and allowed Trick some long overdue extended screen time, and have some fun moments with Stella, as their chemistry and interaction is a lot of fun to watch.

annaIt also looks like there may be some strife coming along in the Bo-Lauren relationship as Bo, under the influence of the Machine, makes a huge faux pas with the doc, and Lauren hangs up on her. Sure it could be a tiff, all couples have them, but then, a knock on the door and there’s Dr. Isaac Felt (Shawn Doyle) to chat with the doctor, he’s a nice guy, laughs at her jokes, and wants to get know her mind.

But there’s also a new added tension between Tamsin and Bo, who share a kiss, caused by Trick and Stella, but you can tell, that both of them are thinking about it as the episode comes to a close.

Personally I just think that adds to the depth of Tamsin’s character, because I still think we’re learning lots about her, as she is herself. She may be Dark Fae, but there’s more to her than that. She’s seen how Bo and the gang love and support one another, and I think she not only finds Bo attractive (and who doesn’t?) but she finds the family dynamic of that appealing as well, so I think those factors are coming into play big time for her.

It’s a good ep, not There’s Bo Place Like Home good, but it does set up a number of nice things for the rest of the season…

What are your thoughts on The Wanderer?

Lost Girl S03E07 – There’s Bo Place Like Home

lgThis week Anna Silk pulls out all the stops as Bo and puts us through the emotional wringer. Brendon Yorke penned this week’s episode, and as I was delighted to see that it was directed by Gail Harvey!!

As the Dawning, Bo’s rite of passage grows closer, with the threat of her devolving into an under-Fae hanging over her head, Trick (Rick Howland) tells her essentially to move forward she must be able to forgive her past. In Bo’s case, the hateful and painful accusations her mother (Nola Augustson) laid on her when she was a teen and first experiencing the first appearance of her Fae powers, which resulted in the death of her boyfriend.

She and her mother had a huge falling out, and things that family say to you can weigh on you for a long time.

So Bo and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) set off for Bumpkinville, to face Bo’s mother, and try to forgive her. On arriving at the old homestead however, we learn that her mom is suffering from a touch of dementia, and doesn’t always remember when or where she is, and is just delighted to have Bo home again.

boAlong the way we learn that there is a Fae stalking old classmates of Bo’s, who all had a hand in a seance on the same night her boyfriend died. It seemed something was let loose, and is now intent on killing them.

The episode is filled with delightful moments, with Kenzi jabbing Bo in the ass with needles to keep her other side in check, happily supplied by the good Dr. Lauren (Zoie Palmer). Trick realizes that Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) has had his love for Bo returned, and Trick also has a love or at least lust interest thrown his way in the form of Stella Nashira (Deborah Odell) who is on hand to offer counsel and guidance for Bo’s Dawning. Oh, and let’s not forget Kenzi and Bo in sun dresses! I also like the fact that everything is bright and sunny in Bo’s hometown, while anything to do with Fae (Bo mostly excluded of course) are more hidden in shadows, and darkness. The Dal is dark, the sky goes dark when Lady Polly (Phillipa Domville) shows up, the past, or at least Bo’s stroll down memory lane when she goes home, is always sunny, even though it hurts her to face her past. It was a nice touch.

For all that though, it is the episode’s emotional climax which makes this episode a stand-out, as Bo realizes she can forgive her mother.

kenziThe two of them sit at a table, observed unseen by Kenzi, in a beautiful scene that touches on not only mother-daughter relationships, but families in general. Anna actually made me cry in this episode, so nice work to all on that count! It’s a lovely scene, and watching as both women breakdown is just heart-touching, and truly a special moment for the series.

We know where Bo is, but now we get to see where she came from, and not only the events that shaped her, but the people as well. The tenderness both Anna and Nola show in this scene, the way she exposes  herself emotionally on camera in this episode… I think we’re get to know Bo in the episode more so than any other episode prior.

This one goes down as a great episode as far as I’m concerned, and while there is a villain in the piece, I’m so glad it didn’t overshadow the emotional side of the story.

Then of course, ending the way the episode did with Anna asking why Kenzi went to see the Norn….

Nice.

Lost Girl S03E06 – The Kenzi Scale

lgAha!!

Now we get to it!

This week’s Lost Girl not only helped us sort out what the hell was happening with Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) last week, though we still don’t know what the final outcome of her Fae induced rash will be. We learn that Kenzi was grabbed by a fox Fae that night by the dumpster, and has since by in her warren while the fox Fae, a rather distrubed being (though part of that may have been caused by Tamsin’s (Rachel Skarsten) interference).

The fox Fae, Inari, is looking to belong, looking for friendship, acceptance and be loved. She was a little unbalanced, we learn from a group of fox(y) Fae that Tamsin has protected. Tamsin, as a Valkyrie can sow doubt into the minds of their opponents, something we see when she exercises that talent on Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried).

It all starts with Bo (Anna Silk) bringing Kenzi into the Dal in attempt to convince Trick (Rick Howland), Dyson and Tamsin, that she is not who Kenz is not who she appears to be. When Kenzi reveals that Bo is killing again, Trick has our favorite succubus locked away until they can figure out what is going on.

kenziEvil Kenzi uses this opportunity to exploit a relationship with Dyson, which leads to a violent confrontation.

It hurts Bo, that not only her grandfather and Dyson don’t believe her, but Lauren (Zoie Palmer) doesn’t either, and that may cause some problems for them down the road, by episode’s end when Lauren tries to apologize Bo tells her that she can’t deal with that now.

Lauren however learns some worrying truths when she uses the DNA sample she takes from Bo to find out what’s wrong with her, we learn that something is very wrong with Bo.

Other interesting things we learned is that there may be something else going on with Tamsin. Bo, who’s flagging because of something that is in her system, replacing her cells, feeds off Tamsin, and Bo notices there’s something unsual about her chi.

The Morrigan (Emmanuelle Vaugier) makes an appearance, reminding Tamsin of her allegiances and that she wants Bo dead. Her hate is really escalating, and is beginning to be more of a threat to our heroes. Tamsin visits the coma victim from Bo’s first feeding at the beginning of the season, and though it will be damaging to him, she wakes him from his coma, and he identifies Bo as the one who attacked him. Tamsin however does not share this with The Morrigan, who warns her about the choices she’s making.

lost-girl-the-kenzi-46903_bigKenzi, in a true display of friendship and faith, never gives up hope on Bo and Dyson rescuing her, and even all dirty still dresses better than evil Kenzi, although she can certainly rock one of Dyson’s shirts and little else. Wow.

Finally, as the episode draws to its end, and Kenzi is safely returned to the loving embrace of her friends, we learn more about this thing that is replacing the cells in Bo’s body.

Trick calls it The Dawning, but it seems to be 200 years early in Bo’s case. It seems it’s a rite of passage, a test of some sort that is coming Bo’s way, and if she fails it, she will devolve into an under-Fae.

It looks like Bo is going to have some tough times before her…

The Morrigan is going to be more trouble…

Is Kenzi going to start exhibiting some Fae abilities?…

How damaged is Lauren and Bo’s relationship now?…

And then there’s Tamsin…

anna

Now we’re going back a short ways (and I can try and remember what’s with the look on my face in the picture), and bringing you thr first chat Sue and I did in the Smithee.TV studios, with the gracious, charming, and yes, incredibly lovely, Anna Silk from TV’s Lost Girl, and her equally talented and amazing husband Seth Cooperman. These are two of the nicest people you could ever want to meet…

Lost Girl S03E04 – Fae-de to Black

First off… Poor Kenzi (Ksenia Solo). She gets the worst of it this episode, as she keeps trying to tell people about the infection/wound on her arm, but no one seems to have time for her. And then the episode’s ending!

I thought it was especially cold when Trick (Rick Howland) says that everyone loves her, but she’s not one of them.

Cold and harsh.

The main thrust of this week’s episode, written by Alexandra Zarowny, has to do with couples, Bo (Anna Silk) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer), Bo and Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried), Dyson and Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten), and Kenzi trying to connect with Bo and Hale (K.C. Collins).

People are dying through apparent suicide around the city, yet all of them, seem to be dying in odd ways, a man who wants to be a superhero, another who wants to be a tight-rope walker, and our friend the wolf wanting to realize his childhood dream as something else.

I’ll be honest, as soon as we learned the fae-of-the-week, who lives off adrenaline, was a shape-shifter, I knew who it was. Sorry.

This is also a much more serious episode, than previous ones this season. Yes, the comedy is still there, but this week, they’re eschewing the comedy to tell a relationship story.

bolauren1At the center of course is Bo and Lauren… Bo is trying to keep her energy up, because she isn’t feeling on anyone else but Lauren, and it’s not sustaining her, even though she loves her. She is a succubus after all. Dyson notices and makes a comment about her looking hungry.

Dyson recruits Bo to go under cover at the clinic that all the ‘suicide’ victims have come from, posing as a couples therapist, which does allow for a little fun, with her first appointment, but also causes a little grief when Bo comments to Lauren that the ‘doctor stuff’ is easier than she thought.

There are a couple of red herrings in this week’s episode, the regression therapist, the suicide-fae who works as a receptionist. As a side note, what a terrible Fae to be! Living off of the emotional energy of despair given off by a suicide. That’s so sad.

dysonFor the most part though, this episode was about putting Bo and Lauren’s first relationship hurdle in front of them, and I’ll be honest, there was a moment, when I thought we were watching Lauren’s heart breaking, as she realizes she can’t be enough for Bo. But the two of them lay some ground rules, and are going forward.

That made me smile. Lauren is amazing, and of course wonderfully played by Zoie.

All through the episode though, I just wanted someone to please talk to Kenzi, and it was heartbreaking that Hale was forced by his role as the Ash to push her aside, and focus on ruling the Light. If someone would only have stopped and listened to her, then maybe she wouldn’t have the problems you just know are coming down the pipe towards her.

And what the hell grabbed her? Does it have something to do with whatever’s happening to her? I hope so, in that I don’t want it to lead into a monster-fae-of-the-week episode next week, but that it’s part of the season arc.

What are your thoughts on this week’s episode?

Lost Girl S03E02 – Subterrfaenean

lgSteve Cochrane pens the second episode of the season which sees Bo confronting two legends, one urban, and one storybook. But before I go any further, can I just ask if I can get the Fae phone network that Bo (Anna Silk) and Trick (Rick Howland) use? It works underground in forgotten tunnels! – Not that I spend a lot of time in those, but it would be a great phone service to have…

Introduction of Rachel Skarsten as Dyson’s new partner, Tamsin who is aligned with the Dark…. Who already suspects Bo’s involvement in an attack on a Dark Fae (see the end of S03E01).

Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) is involved in trying to resolve the rumors of an alligator in the sewers (I can never hear that phrase without thinking of Gertie in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial) – who we learn is a Fae named Atticus (Jordan Pettle). It seems Atticus is the prime suspect in a series of attacks that are occurring underground.

As Bo investigates we learn that the people and Fae aren’t being killed, but they do return, sick, infected somehow. As suspicion seems to slide off of Atticus, who, is a proper Southern gentleman, mourning the loss of loved ones down in the dark, Bo begins to suspect that there is something else going on.

She finds a huge Fae relocation program underway, seen over by Bob Hammelin (Ted Atherton).

And if that name isn’t a give away to the other legend that is explored in this episode, I won’t spoil it for you.

lostgirl302There are some great bits in this episode, a dream weaver, Eunice (Phyllis Ellis), who uses a spinning wheel and a piece of hair, who is annoying Trick, though he brought her in to help with Bo’s nightmares (read as repressed memories). Tamsin’s sparring with Dyson, both verbally and physically. Anything with Vex (Paul Amos), he continues to steal every scene he’s in. And, of course, Bo and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) playing in bed! There’s also a wonderful use of more adult language this season already, and I was “Wow! Got away with that on Showcase, NICE!” Trick, sadly, isn’t around enough, nor is Hale (K.C. Collins) for that matter. Still, the season is just getting started.

I love the fact that not only did Bo feed, but she fed off a Dark Fae, and that will have repercussions, and Tamsin seems to be intent on making sure they come about sooner rather than later. She also gets a look at the tapestry Eunice was weaving before the image faded from it. An image that looks a lot like a rather evil-looking Bo violently feeding. It’s backed up by Eunice saying it was probably something Bo ate before she leaves…

tamsinboAlready this season is rocking, it has gotten a little darker, and at least to me, it seems a little more adult (in a good way). It continues to be wonderfully written with a cast we’ve all grown to love, as well as great guest stars.

I’m not completely sold on Tamsin yet, but I do like the new dynamic she’s bringing to the show, I also enjoy the thought of cop partners being on opposite sides of the Fae line, that should bring some nice tension to their relationship, both professional and personal.

What do you think of Tasmin and this week’s ep??

Lost Girl S03E01 – Caged Fae

Posted by TD Rideout on January 8, 2013
Posted in: Did You See That?!? (Tv & Film). Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . 1 comment

lgLost Girl roared back on to our screens last night with a fun, and sexy, season premiere, called Caged Fae, or Lost Girl Meets Caged Heat.

After waiting, seemingly interminable months, we finally get to rejoin our Fae friends, and it doesn’t seem like too much time has passed, Kenzi’s (Ksenia Solo) rash is still there, so she brushes it off just saying it needs some polysporin. You and I both know that it’s going to cause trouble.

And speaking of trouble, the internet is abuzz with the idea that Bo (Anna Silk) is actually going to be the villain for the season. I’m not entirely sure about that, but I think she’s going to have to fave some very dark things about herself in the episodes to come.

She also murders someone with her abilities, and she hasn’t done that to an innocent for a long time.

bolaurenBo, masquerading as a bit of a criminal, ends up in a prison run by Amazons, to investigate the disappearance of the prison’s previous doctor, Lauren’s (Zoie Palmer) mentor. You get the requisite shower sequence, the fitted coveralls, and sexy costumes for work detail.

Written by Emily Andras, the season opener has a great sense of fun about it. The show allows us to draw up a stool, and  welcomes us back to the Dal, where Hale (K.C. Collins) is installed as the Acting Ash. Vex (Paul Amos) seems to be really enjoying himself, and being exceptionally flirty with any and all that come along, and his police officer get-up is just a hoot!

And speaking of a hoot, Trick (Rick Howland) talking about geezing it up with the flappers when the Dal was a speak easy back in the day, and how much of a hootenany it was priceless. I could just Trick whooping it up in the day. Awesome.

annaThe first season helped established the show and the world, the second allowed the characters to grow, this season hopefully we get to see them play.

I am hoping that we do get to go a little dark this season, that Bo explores her dark side. We already know Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) is gonna be a little cranky for a while, as it seems that Bo has made her choice and wants to give a relationship with Lauren a chance, YES!

Highlights of the episode included Kenzi showing up as Bo’s human lover, “The shorter the lifespan, the deeper the quicksand,” any scene with Vex (he’s still a scene-stealer), and of course Bo looking fantastic in anything she’s wearing.

I can’t wait to see where the season goes, admittedly it’s a shorter season this time around, but that means things are going to move quickly, and probably be very intense.

Such a fun and sexy episode, which continued to expand the Fae universe by introducing new twists on classic lore, and builds the relationship of our core group, setting up the dynamic for episodes to come.

Bring it on!

Lost Girl Season 2 Blowout!

Posted in: Did You See That?!? (Tv & Film), General. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . 2 comments

So we gathered last evening for the Lost Girl Season finale…

Sue and I went to meet up with a bunch of Lost Girl fans including some who had traveled all the way from Alberta to be there! We met up at the Firkin on King, who had graciously allowed Curt (@Faenonymous) to take over the lower level of the pub for the night, and we made it our very own Dal. Their staff was friendly, pleasant, and very tolerant of us fae fans taking over their pub. Thank you!

Showcase was running an all day Lost Girl Marathon, leading up to the pre-show finale (did you spot yourself? What about me and Sue?) and the season finale.

We chatted with some of the names and faces we recognized, and then everyone was delighted when some members of the cast and crew showed up. The awesome Casey Hudecki, actor, fight director, can kick your ass six ways from Sunday without breaking a sweat, and knows how to handle a sword showed first.

We caught up with her, chatting away, she couldn’t stay late, as she had an early day on the set of Nikita!

But she was joined by the funny and brilliant Tanya Lemke, our mistress of props! We caught up with her as well, she’s got a full docket lately, working on Flashpoint and Saving Hope since we last spoke.

Rick Howland, our very own Blood King, Trick, and his wonderful wife, Nadia, whom Sue and I think is just awesome! People were simply delighted. There were a number of fans who had met him before, but there were just as many who hadn’t, and a palatable change came over the room. Trick was actually here!

Rick, as always, was gracious with his time, chatting and smiling for everyone.

It wasn’t long before he was joined by the mesmer, that wonderful charmer, Vex, or Paul Amos.

Paul is very self-effacing and loves a good laugh, and like Rick, he is appreciative of the fandom.

Both of them posed for pictures, signed autographs for a while, and made time for each and every person who came to talk to them.

Sue and I were happily chatting with Casey and Tanya, until we were joined by Rick, Nadia and Paul, and settled in for the season finale.

No sooner did it start when the entire room went… silent.

You could tell that they were getting a kick out of watching the episode with the fans, knowing what was coming, waiting to see the reactions. I think for everyone involved in the show, they were delighted to watch it go over so well with the show’s harshest and most loyal critics… the fans.

Now, they are about to go back into the studio and get to work, but we’ll all just have to wait until September rolls around to see what happens next with our favorite Fae.

Don’t worry, we’re gonna try to get some interviews, and everything else we can get access to as well to help fill the time until season three rolls around…

In the interim make sure you click this link, and check out some of the awesome photos that were taken by one of Paul’s friends, Viktor Radics, a photographer with a great eye. I particularly like the shot of Paul and Rick sitting together. Find them here.

It was a great night, if you weren’t there, we wish you were… But there’s always Season 3, and most likely an appearance at Fan Expo in August!
