Lost Girl

On January 16 the season one US debut of the Canadian hit series Lost Girl (now in its second season in Canada) will debut on Syfy at 10 PM.

The series follows supernatural seductress Bo (Anna Silk) a Succubus who feeds on the sexual energy (sometimes called “Chi”) of humans. Growing up with human parents, Bo has no reason to believe she’s anything other than the girl next door – until she drains her boyfriend to death in their first sexual encounter. Once she hits the road, Bo discovers she is one of the Fae, creatures of legend and folklore, who pass as humans while feeding off them secretly, as they have for millennia. Relieved yet horrified to find out that she is not alone, Bo is faced with choosing an allegiance between the Dark and Light Fae clans. Bo decides to take the middle path between the humans and the Fae while embarking on a personal mission to unlock the secrets of her origin. With the help of her human sidekick, Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), Bo takes on a challenge every week helping a Fae or human client who comes to her to solve a mystery, or to right a wrong. Already in a love triangle with Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried), a sexy Fae working as a human police detective, and the beautiful human scientist, Lauren (Zoie Palmer) who works for the Fae, Bo’s love life is about to get even more complicated.

Here is a trailer for Lost Girl.

Entertainment Update for January 11

Posted in Daily/Weekly Updates on January 11, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Hey All,

Here is today’s update, very short though it may be:

TELEVISION

Psych has been renewed by the USA Network for a 7th season. The current (sixth) season will resume with new episodes starting on February 29. (Kate Stanhope at TV Guide)

Q&A SECTION (with Adam Bryant from TV Guide and Michael Ausiello at TV Line)

Question: I hear there’s going to be a kiss in Castle’s 1940s film noir episode. Is that true? — Erin

ADAM: After chatting with Stana Katic, my money is on a kiss… and much, much more. “What fans will see is probably the fulfillment of what most any fan would like to see happen with the Castle and Beckett relationship,” Katic says of the episode, in which Castle daydreams about a detective who falls in love with a gangster’s moll (played in Castle’s fantasy by Beckett, of course). “Fans will be seeing the ultimate expression of love for those two characters.” Ultimate expression of love? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Question: When are we going to see the Impala again on Supernatural? It just doesn’t seem right to have Dean separated from his baby for this long! —Laura

Ausiello: The two shall be reunited! “You will eventually see the Impala again,” exec producer Sera Gamble confirms. “He could never leave [her] forever! It breaks everyone’s heart, including ours. That’s one of the biggest loses of the season is that Dean can’t drive her.”

That’s it. Enjoy!
