Anyone else watching Lost Girl? ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thedimholt will be happy to hear that I finally got around to watching it. I've seen the first few episodes, and it's shiny! Pretty ladies, cool paranormal stuff, adventure, nice balance between humour and serious, and pretty much Blood Ties all over again, right? I think I even saw Peter Mohan's name in the opening credits. An outcast chick turned reticent private detective with strange friends, reticent police connections and a too-excited goth assistant. Sound familiar? It was driven home in the scene where Kenzie shows Bo (what is it with Americans and weird names? First Magnus, now Bo. Here Bo is a name for old dudes.) her little advertising pamphlet with the 'strange and paranormal'. It is a mirror image of the scene where Vicki discovers Coreen's 'strange and paranormal' ad in the paper...
Of course, the major difference between Lost Girl and Blood Ties is that the "bisexual" in 'bisexual private detective' actually translates to 'will act on sexual attraction to both women and men' as opposed to Blood Ties's 'let's tell the folks on AfterEllen that so they'll watch the show and then never mention it again'... Grrr. Holding a grudge? Who me? Nah... *ahem*
Anyway. Shiny show! Yay! It just better not take the light off Warehouse 13. I've invested emotionally in that show, and I don't want it taken away from me just yet.
