I guess I need to be in the right mood for angst. Sometimes I love the unrequited 'loving from a distance' trope and other times I just want a couple who likes each other and is nice to one another. YAY ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS!

I'd never heard of a succubus story before Lost Girl and I like that they have a pansexual woman as the lead of her own story and in control of her sexuality. It's very sex-positive in that she's never shamed for her desires. Plus her most stable and important relationship on the show is with her female best friend!!! I think it's campy more in the Legend of the Seeker, we have magic and swords-way.

Re:Zoe/Wade, I totally agree. I guess I'm short sighted and just want them to hook up because it'd be hot. But if they were to have any sort of shot at being a real couple there would have to be changes.

I like Lemon when her defenses are down and when she's shown to be human. I think that 90% of the time she's wearing a mask and she's so afraid to take it off. I find her sad because she's so repressed and has such high expectations for herself and for her whole life thought that if she were just a little bit better than maybe her mom would come back. That would do a doozy on anyone. So I understand where she comes from, but I only really like her for very brief moments.

OK, wait - you just compared "Lost Girl" to "Legend of the Seeker" -- I must watch this show!!!! I loved "LotS" and I still mourn it's cancellation.
