My Lost Girl heart broke. For a while there I believed that just like in "The 4400" they had decided to cancel the series halfway a season and just stopped filming. Just like that. And then I saw Tamsin (Played by Rachel Skarsten) pop up in Reign as Queen elizabeth and Lauren (Played by Zoie Palmer) as the android in Dark Matter. So I gave up hope on Lost Girl.
I searched for news on Lost girl, but I only got to read everywhere what I already knew. And then suddenly Lost Girl appeared back on my calendar. Episode 9 would see the light on September 6, 2015. I was so happy.
**CAUTION** SPOILER ALERT This entry contains spoilers of Lost Girl 5x09 - 5x14
Somehow the series didn't really satisfy me in the beginning of this season 5B. Well actually I do know what was missing, just like it was missing in the first part of the season. Kenzi (Played by Ksenia Solo) was missing. Even though Bo (Played by Anna Silk) is the heart of the series, Kenzi is the soul. And when there is no soul in a series, you will notice it.
The dynamic between those two felt so good and natural. I loved to see them together even though they'd never form a couple. Their bond was a sister bond. not a lovers.
So I missed Kenzi, but I've been with Lost Girl since day 1, so no freaking way that I'd give up now in the last few meters of the marathon.
It became a bit better when we found out that Lauren became a conduit for Fae powers. She had always been my least favorite character. A bit of a whiny girl if you ask me. While I totally love her in Dark Matter. But that's for a different day.
Lauren got hit by a car, and was able to heal herself by tapping into Bo's powers. That moment janked me back into the series.
From then on it only got better. until the tragic moment where Trick (played by Richard Howland) and Aife (played by Inga Cadranel) -which I honestly always expected to be written as Epha - were displayed as a macabre familyportrait by Jack (played by Eric Roberts)
At this point we already are at the end of 5x13.

I must say I was shocked when I saw that. Throughout the years I've seen a lot of violence in series, and often meant to shock. But I had never seen something like this in Lost Girl. I just had not expected this whatsoever. That macabre display, I ask you, was that really necessary?
Bo finds them and they end the episode with her sitting in some kind of trance next to them.
When this episode started, the first thing that I said was: "What? Is this going to be a Wizard of Oz inspired episode. I don't know why, but Bo looked like a red version of Dorothy. But then she said that she woke up as Lucy (from I love Lucy) I was like, ok sure, still makes me think more of Dorothy.

Funny thing, I was right. Then she met Tamsin, who you can translate to Tin Man. Dyson as the cowardly lion, and Lauren aka Lola as the scarecrow. And while everyone expected Jack or Trick to be the wizard. It ended up being herself.
The whole thing with Kenzi though, I still do not really understand. So maybe one of you can explain it to me?
While she was in her coma, the others looked for a way to get her out of that. Even Kenzi came back, although she didn't know she was lured by Jack. I wonder why that is.

We saw him killing Vex (played by Paul Amos) at the end of the episode to send a message. Made me kinda sad. Vex had come along way and I actually liked his character a lot. So now I wonder if Jack lured Kenzi here, so he could use her to blackmail Bo to follow him to the dark side.

So many questions still and only 2 episodes to go. Keep an eye on my blog. I will report back when I have more news. Plus ofcourse I well talk to you once a day about some series. If you want me to discuss a certain series, leave me a message.
