Thursday night is Lost Girl night on SyFy channel, now with the added bonus of knowing that a second series has been commissioned so there’s a lot more of the show to look forward to.
Here at BiMedia we’ve been eagerly catching up on this programme, and with the fourth episode on this evening, and it’s got a good slice of bisexuality.
The writers have been somewhat dipping in the book of bi cliche: our heroine is a succubus who feasts on the sexual energy of whomever she chooses regardless of gender. Most people she has sex with die, just in case we didn’t know that bisexuals – erm, succubi – are dangerous partners to pick. She gets given a choice of joining either of two camps, the ‘light’ or ‘dark’ supernatural beings, and joins neither, thereafter getting opprobrium from both sides for not making up her mind. And because this is a television bisexual woman, she’s gorgeous and confident. And yes, she has a threesome with a man and a woman.
Still, in a world of gay or straight, a big blunt analogy is often handy, and it’s good fantasy telly. 10pm tonight!
