SciFi TV Rewatch

It seems like forever since we've been treated to a new episode of Lost Girl, so the 2013 film Assassins Tale starring Anna Silk, Michael Beach, and Guy Garner might just tide us over until season 5 begins.

We've decided to make some subtle tweaks to the show, both in content and structure, all which should benefit the listeners. It was finally time to articulate what we've been doing anyway for quite some time.

In the series finale, Dr. Quinzell, aka Harlee Quinn, nearly achieves her plan of taking over New Gotham City, but in the end, Huntress prevents Oracle from making a tragic mistake. Dave and Wayne also discuss The Leftovers, Defiance, Falling Skies, and Extant.

In addition to Huntress finally opening up to Detective Reese, she also relives the most painful event of her life and is tempted to exact revenge on the man who murdered her mother. The guys also discuss the new Lifetime scifi drama The Lottery, New Zealand's The Almighty Johnsons, and the film that may revolutionize the current distribution system, Snowpiercer.

 

 

Despite her reservations, Helena Kyle attends her five year high school reunion, though to be fair, it is a working event as she tracks down a killer. While we've been waiting for Huntress and Jesse to finally get together, Helena meets her high school crush and the sparks fly. In the end, she makes a choice. Did I mention that Helena Kyle was the captain of the Pep Squad?

Dave and Wayne discuss Extant, Falling Skies, Defiance, The Leftovers and Penny Dreadful in addition to the 10th episode of Birds of Prey. Dinah finally comes of age as a crime fighter as she must free Huntress who's been captured and forced to fight for her life in an underground arena. With a slight nod to 1999's Fight Club, the episode clearly influenced 2013's Raze starring Continuum's Rachel Nichols. Feeling her oats, Dinah challenges Helena to a fight, but eventually the two are paired against each other in the ring while Barbara and Reese fight to free both of them.

When Al Hawk turns up in New Gotham City, his presences sets into motion a number of complex actions. Hawk's protege wants to take him out, and his son wants to put him in prison. Dinah battles her demons as she must fight the urge to exact revenge for her mother's death.

Barbara's past returns to haunt her as former nemesis Lady Shiva seeks revenge for the death of her little sister eight years prior. Several plot twists add to the story as we find out the Sandy (Lady Shiva) and Helena were BFFs in high school though they haven't seen each other in eight years. Meanwhile, Dinah learns a valuable lesson about the ethics and morality of superpower use when she goes over the line to get a boy to like her.
