Both are true. I do think, however, that Lost Girl (in terms of narrative and storytelling) has echoed Buffy quite a bit so far. Plus, I would never consider it a bad thing - both shows (should) wear their status as feminist, generic texts proudly

This, for me, was one of the worst episodes in the show's second season run. Tonally the balance between the comedy and the horror were completely out of synch. While I appreciate that the Stiles pieces are meant to distract us from him as a potential victim, that simply made it more obvious (in addition to his belief…

The first forty minutes or so of this episode felt LOOOONG, but I think it's mostly because they concerned plotlines I didn't much care for. Thank goodness the Ifrit BS is behind us, and while I didn't mind the hate crimes piece, with it also resolved we can now move on to Sookie's piece and the dissolution of the…

I actually thought more of the Buffy episode when Xander had to go undercover on the swim team. Let's face it: Lost Girl is more or less Buffy-lite, so a lot of its episodes end up with the same themes, narratives and case-types (none of this is bad - I kinda dig it).

Easily the best episode of the second episode. Witty, funny, a little dirty and Jenna wasn't the dunce or the bitch (which seems to be the alternates for her for most episodes). The scene with the sex talk and the wine was fantastic and really brought both Jenna's and Sadie's storylines into context without resorting…

Maybe that's what this show is missing: a town drunk. I think Elena nicely fits that bill

Loved the alternate titles (how about "When Do I Get My Sword") or something to that effect.

The show definitely went gonzo - to the point that I thought this WAS the season finale. It'd be nice if there was less ambivalence about who's going to bite it in the Rebecca cliffhanger (I would slow clap if it ends up being her because that would be unprecedented for the show, but we all know that not-brother Tommy…

Stockard Channing totally makes this episode. The scene where she bitches Jed out about the sandwich with a weary sadness is so emotional! Considering Sorkin basically wrote her as First Lady and let her do the rest, Abbey really is an amazing character.

It was interesting to see Michelle not embrace the teaching after so much build-up: I guess now we know why she and Fanny make such a great pair (besides the dialogue, Fanny is the natural disciplinarian that Michelle doesn't want to be).

Yeah, Lunsford dropped the ball - too much, too quickly and too overblown. He started off well, too!
