Well season 3 of Lost Girl has come and gone and we have to wait until 2014 for more episodes. Season 3 continues the story of the Succubus Bo (played by Anna Silk) and her friends in the aftermath of the big battle that ended Season 2.
This season, the focus is on character development for everyone and the lasting effects of what they did (or had done to them) in the last season. We are also introduced to new characters in the form of a Dark Fae who joins the police force, Tamsin (played by Rachel Skarsten), and a part-time recurring character of interest to Trick. While this season is about character development we do still see a lot of violence, petty fighting between the Fae and the occaisional case for Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) and Bo. We also get to see if there is a new Ash (that job is like the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position at Hogwarts - someone new every year).
Bo and Tamsin
What I like about Lost Girl is that it keeps peeling back the onion on the Fae world without feeling like the show runners are just making things up as they go along. As a viewer you feel that you are learning things just like Bo and that is nice. One of the best things about the show has been its ability to wrap up the season in a nice bow while leaving you with nice hooks into what might happen in the next season. Season 3 deviates from this as it does end on a little bit of a cliffhanger (though there is enough foreshadowing along the way for you to guess where things are likely going at the start of Season 4).
Probably my biggest beef with the Season isn't with the show at all. You see those of us in the United States had to wait an extra week for Syfy to air the finale rather than airing the episode the day after it premiered in Canada (all the other episodes were next day air in the US). This was annoying to say the least. I would rather wait until the season has aired and mainline this show rather than have to wait to get the next episode. If history is any indication, you should be able to get Season 3 on demand through Netflix later this year or do what we did and purchase the episodes so you can see them now without commercial (and as I am demonstrating here you can take a screenshot to liven up a post).
Give credit to Showcase in Canada. They are airing some of the best Science Fiction shows out right now in Lost Girl and Continuum. I hope they keep throwing more and more shows down south to us. Lost Girl season 3 gets 4 Mick Happies. Hope you turn in to learn about the Fae.
Dyson doesn't look like he wants to wait for Season 4 either
