SciFi TV Rewatch

We take a look at the comic book inspired WB Network show Birds of Prey that ran during the 2002-2003 fall season. Starring 16 year old Rachel Skarsten, Dina Meyer, and Ashley Scott, the show follows the exploits of three young women fighting crime in New Gotham City after Batman abandoned it. Like Lost Girl, the pilot gives an indication that the show will also be about the search for identity and search for self-worth of the three main characters who've bonded to help make their city a better place.

Dave discusses the events causing him to embrace the Lifetime Movie Network despite the lack of genre fare. The appearance of genre actresses Tricia Helfer and Summer Glau spark his interest in LMN and might we have another segment on Faetalists? Also check out Acting Outlaws.

Dave takes a look at viewer choices, good shows that struggle, and the disappointment that surrounds smart shows many viewers are too dumb to watch.

Dave and Wayne discuss spoiler etiquette in the 21st century. Binge watching, personal responsibility, and even ACC basketball are discussed as we look ahead to how our viewing habits have changed.

In the season 4 finale, finally able to find her destiny within the fae community, Kenzi makes the ultimate sacrifice for Bo. Or does she? Tamsin seems to be absolved of her past sins, and we await her future choices. And what is up with Bo and Dyson? Is Doccubus finished?

Kenzi seeks revenge for Hale's death, Lauren gets down and dirty with Evony, a warrior appears ready to defend Bo, and Massimo chows down on the Origin Seed. Some revelations about Vex catch the guys off guard, but it appears we'll be dealing in death for the foreseeable future.

Ordinarily, I'd be all over a tale about mermaids, but the only redeeming grace here is that the story brings Lauren, Dyson and Kenzi closer together as Bo shuts them out to be with Rainer. Arguably, the most poignant scene in the entire series occurs as Kenzi's heart is shattered when the love of her life dies, due in part to her own hubris.

Bo and the audience finally meet The Wanderer, and let's just say, we didn't see that coming. However, the actions of a certain human, no matter how well intended will have to be dealt with, but do we have a new romantic duo in the picture? 

Caught in a quantam loop, Dave and Wayne finally emerge to take a look at the two most recent episodes, both of which rely heavily on literary, historical and cultural allusions. While we don't learn much more about The Wanderer, Lauren aka Flora and Dyson bridge the vast gulf that had pushed them away from each other. Have Hale and Kenzi finally consummated their love?

While there's minimal movement on Bo's bloodline story arc, an emphasis on duos appears in this episode. Lauren's moving in with her Dark pals, and The Morrigan lets her know that she'll have complete freedom to conduct whatever research she choose and will have no movement restrictions placed on her. After five years with the Light, Lauren's understandably skeptical, but the skeptics finally received some satisfaction when Kenzi and Hale take the first relationship step. She wears his hat.
