Lost Girl 3.10 Review: “Delinquents”
By John Keegan
After the disappointing and anticlimactic resolution of the “dawning” ceremony, it makes sense that the writers would want to take a step back, return to the “fae of the week” roots a bit, and use character interactions and relationships to explore the changes in Bo and those around her. Some of that does take place, but it still seems far less than one could reasonably expect. After stealing her friends’ energy without their consent, shouldn’t Bo be on a shorter leash?

By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
This episode of "Lost Girl" was a lazy, wholly uninteresting effort on the show's part that failed to be funny, had no tension and basically faffed the characters about for forty-five minutes without delivering anything close to a satisfying conclusion. It would seem the inconsistencies of season two are yet to be overcome, and it's all the more disappointing because episodes like the previous one prove the show is perfectly capable of doing well.

By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
Not for the first time, an episode of "Lost Girl" has a thin, forgettable A-story and builds much more interesting character beats and arcs around it -- but unfortunately, this episode's A-story was following up on the Lauren and Lachlan beats of the previous episode and the cliffhanger that seemed, at the time, to promise a dramatic turn of events for all characters involved.

By John Keegan and Edmund Boys
From Clinton Administration officials in “The West Wing” to SNL staffers in “Studio 60”, Aaron Sorkin’s behind-the-scenes dramas have long inspired parlor games about who his characters are based on. I’ve never found the game particularly relevant, given the alternate Sorkin-verse he creates around them. However, the show that cleaved closest to our reality, and the most relevant predecessor to “The Newsroom”, was “Sports Night,” with Casey McCall and Dan Rydell seen as stand-ins for SportsCenter’s Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann.

By John Keegan
As noted repeatedly, the writers make adjustments to the historical record whenever the dramatic license is required to make the story flow in the right direction. That is certainly true in this episode, where various events are rearranged to bring season arcs to their logical resolution. Not only is the matter of Juan's descent handled in the expected fashion, but Savonarola saw his comeuppance far earlier than anticipated.
