Everything about Lost Girl, eh?

Lost Girl

Ksenia Solo of Lost Girl should be the lead

smallFrom Bill Harris of the Toronto Sun:

  • ‘Lost Girl’ based on real folklore
    “Ksenia Solo says one of the best things about Lost Girl is that it could be real. What? With all those creatures? Good lord, we hope not. To be fair, Solo merely is pointing out that Lost Girl – a new Canadian fantasy series that debuts Sunday, Sept. 12 on Showcase – has its roots in existing folklore.” Read more.
  • Anna Silk not ‘Lost’ in pilot
    “Make no mistake, Silk is hot. But she is a ‘woman’ in every positive way, not a ‘girl.’ And we’re not just being nit-picky about the title. Bo does not really come across as ‘lost,’ per se. She may have queries about her origin, but she is a powerful, protective, take-charge creature, right from the opening sequence.” Read more.

Fall preview first takes

From Bill Brioux of TV Feeds My Family:

  • Fall Preview 2010-11: first takes
    “My first impressions, including of the hand full of new Canadian entries, appear in order of debut below. You’ll find my expanded take on the fall season in the Sept. 18 edition of the Toronto Star’s Starweek magazine, but for now, a quick look at a fall with few surprises, plenty of familiar faces and, as usual, one or two gems.” Read more.

Everything you need to know about Lost Girl

From Annette Bourdeau of TV Squad:

  • ‘Lost Girl’: Everything You Need to Know
    “Just when you thought vampires were the sexiest supernaturals out there, Showcase is debuting ‘Lost Girl’ — a show about a hot young succubus named Bo, played by Anna Silk (‘Being Erica’, ‘Billable Hours’). Just like her ‘True Blood’ counterparts, Bo has to deal with personal problems while juggling her powers. Bo has seductive superpowers; she can manipulate humans with her touch.” Read more.

TV, eh? podcast episode 10: Waking in a Bad Gemini Dream

Episode 10: Listen or download here or subscribe via iTunes or with any other program via the TV, Eh? feed

Anna Silk, the “sexy succubus” of Lost Girl, is this week’s special guest, talking about her new Showcase series and her return appearance on the upcoming season three of CBC’s Being Erica.

Anthony and I are exhausted just looking at the list of Gemini nominees (there are eleventy billion, as the wise Bill Brioux says) and I’m exasperated by the demonstration, yet again, of how little the Canadian TV industry thinks about their audience. (I was wrong in that nominees who are voting members of the Academy get one free ticket to the gala.)

Shattered‘s premiere ratings were better than I expected and worse than I hoped. Translation: they were pretty bad.

Before I call Anthony a jerk, we close the show with our favourite 10 Canadian shows, in honour of the Geminis inviting Canadians to vote on their faves of the last 25 years, and Toronto Life compiling their own top 10.
