[00:00:00] My name is Anna Silk. For six seasons I played Bo on the hit TV series Lost Girl. And my name is Rachel Scarston and for three seasons I played Tamsen. Welcome to The Lost
[00:00:24] Girl Rewatch Podcast, a show where we will look at all the episodes, share some behind-the-scenes stories, and chat with some very special guests. Now on the show our relationship was sometimes
[00:00:36] rocky, but in life our friendship is rock solid. We are so glad that you are here to join us for this Crypto Memory Lane. We love that the family is back together again. Hi everybody! Welcome back to season two of The Lost Girl Rewatch Podcast. We're back!
[00:00:59] We were gone for a little while, we know, but we are back and as you can see we are so fortunate to be back with the ever-charming, oh so handsome, so delightful and delicious and hot in this episode. Holy cow! Like I actually think I'm cutting it.
[00:01:18] Oh my gosh! Come on, come on, come on. The red dress takes the cake for a lot. Chris Holden Reid. Chris Holden Reid is back with us. Yay! Yes, thank you Chris. Thank you. It's lovely to be here and see your beautiful faces. I miss you.
[00:01:29] We miss you. So we're going to talk about episode one and two of season two. We have 22 episodes, so this season on the podcast we're coupling them up to talk about them. So we're going to talk about episodes one and two. Episode one was and episode two.
[00:01:47] We're both written by the incredible Michelle Lovretta. Episode one was directed by Rob Lieberman and episode two was directed by Steve DiMarco. And you know what I remembered watching these? When we went back, remember how season one we shot out of order? Season two when we came back,
[00:02:05] we were told we're going to shoot in order, which was a gift except episode one and two. We started with episode two. It was our first one back. What series even does that? I've never heard of that. They come to you and say,
[00:02:17] oh we're going to shoot them in order. You're welcome. I know. Like every series I've done shoots in order. Not for the convenience of the episode, but the episodes basically. Or you do in blocks.
[00:02:29] In blocks. Right. But when we came back, we started with episode two and then we went to episode one and then we went three, four, five, six, et cetera. Whatever. Whatever.
[00:02:39] The problem with season one was our pilot episode that John Foss had shot a year before we shot season one was amazing, but it was a mid-story line pilot. So it was episode eight. So they were trying to backfill and they hadn't written the rest.
[00:02:54] So they were just filling things up so we would shoot as they had it ready. But then wouldn't you go eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine? They didn't know. They just did whatever was ready because they were problem solving on the fly.
[00:03:06] They were like, you know, how do we get them to this point? And we did so much ambiguous acting and I remember we just like, which way should we go? And they're just like, just kind of keep it in the ambiguous of the rest.
[00:03:19] So that's a good, strong acting choice. That's a good direct, yeah, exactly. Always strong choice. But hey, people like this one. But I want to say so these episodes for you, Mr. Holden Reed were pretty freaking powerful.
[00:03:36] You brought so much gravitas to the screen and if everyone remembers the end of season one we left off with, you know, this big battle between Bo and her mom.
[00:03:46] She's been looking for her mom now. She's in this big battle and Dyson goes to the Norn who was incredible. And to, you know, to give his wolf and instead what she takes, I can't even say it, it breaks my heart. It's hard. It's love for Bo.
[00:04:04] And so this we start with one of those things on shows which I love when one main character and the audience knows something that another main character doesn't know.
[00:04:16] So Bo doesn't know this yet. And actually no one really does except for Dyson and the entire fan base in the audience. Yeah, so yeah, we ended on really high stakes and we come back and Dyson's nowhere to be found,
[00:04:30] which I love that. I love that. And I love your entrance. Anyway, talk about it. Yeah, at the end of season one, I remember I was sitting in Michelle didn't know how to hook Dyson storyline. We're sort of brainstorming and I actually just pitched her on it.
[00:04:49] I was like, why don't we have him run off into the woods like a wounded animal and you don't know if he's going to come back or not. And at that point I wasn't sure if they wanted me for season two.
[00:04:57] So I was like, it gives you a great out right now. And I could just keep running. I just keep running. I just become littlest hobo. Move on to the next town. Move on to the next town, that's right.
[00:05:13] And she was like, that's great. So we kind of worked on that together and then it was such a simple shoot, right? It was just like me in the woods and I run off. So like saved them a lot of problems.
[00:05:24] And then yeah, and Jay was like, I want you to come back and like their music and the feet walking in and like you want to do this build. And of course we didn't run. We ran out of time to do that.
[00:05:34] So it's just like Casey, pan up, Dyson's and cups. It was still it still worked. But like it was cool. I remember they gave you that real alpha male comeback of like, he's been out at a bar.
[00:05:48] I just being in a like, like what, like roadhouse it's better than a bar roadhouse, you know. So a funny little aside, I just came from ADR like I told you.
[00:06:00] And the scene that I was looping was me coming out of a pond naked, walking up to a girl.
[00:06:07] And I just watched episode one where I take my shirt off in front of a hail and it was a bit of a wake up call to see the 15 years before Chris Holden Reed. And then the 50 year old half naked Chris Holden Reed.
[00:06:23] I was like, oh, so sad. Listen, I am sure I was pretty sure you were pretty shredded, my friend. And I'm sure I'm sure you shred. Yes. And I know it's weird to look back and like I look at my cheeks in some of them.
[00:06:37] I'm like, look at my little cheeks. I look so young. So do we. I know. It's so funny. Like I look back at that guy and it's like my face is like changed too. He just looks like such a little kid to me now.
[00:06:52] I'm like, oh, you guys do look so young. You know the crazy thing about it is that when I remember when I joined well, and I actually thought that we were the same age for quite a while.
[00:07:02] But just the number, your age when you told me and of course I was what 20 to a decade younger. And I remember thinking, wow, like they're so grown up, you know, and they have families and stuff that they're married like that. So crazy.
[00:07:17] And then I look at you now and I'm like, what was I thinking? They were like tiny. I know. Yeah. Time humbles us all. Like probably partway through lost girl. I was your age now. The age you are now ish. Yeah, you know, yeah, I know. Yeah.
[00:07:36] So one thing we should obviously state audiences. Rachel was not in season two. No. Everyone knows this but but she is co-hosting this season because we love her and we want to see more of her and you have some some fun questions and.
[00:07:56] So okay, I actually had a question for you guys. Okay. Because you do the season one and then you're picked up for season two. How did you both feel about that coming back? You know, were you excited?
[00:08:11] What was what was your memory of that of that experience coming back into the show after finishing one season? Well, I think we spent the whole break in a roadhouse somewhere drinking bar fighting. That's right.
[00:08:26] No, I can't remember if we were if we found out before the season ended or if we we ended and then found out. I just don't remember. It was pretty quick if I recall because like we waited.
[00:08:38] So we waited a year in between the pilot and season one. Was it another year in between season one and two? Or was it quick? I mean, I think it was. I know I would have. It wasn't okay. I can't I can't remember how the timeline.
[00:08:53] No, it was actually pretty long because I went out and shot underworld out in Vancouver. I was like four or five months. I shot something else in Morocco. What did I what was I doing? What the heck was I doing? You were rolling around in your money.
[00:09:11] That's right. I had piled it on my bed and I was hiding around until the phone rang. Hello season two. It was another year. That's completely not true. But yeah, it was a chunk of time. But I do remember this is what I remember.
[00:09:32] How did you normally you don't have like how did they hold you for a year? I don't understand. They just did. It was. Yeah, there was actually, you know what?
[00:09:44] I remember there was a renegotiation of the time because they had like six months and then they actually renegotiated. Yeah, they did to hold. Which is why I was able to renegotiate a second season because I did season one like for peanuts.
[00:09:57] And so like literally we would feed Chris peanuts. Yeah. We say good job. Good job. That's why I got so ripped. Pure protein. Amazing keto diet. And because you were part wolf, like you were very obedient. Yeah, exactly. Peanuts just follows Chris around.
[00:10:17] I don't know because you know how it cons Chris, you and I will talk about how when we would have kissing scenes, you'd have, you'd be eating peanuts. Like I don't know what it is about peanuts but it just keeps going up.
[00:10:25] I have kissed Chris when he has been eating peanuts too. Oh no, I'm so sorry. I have. It's all he was getting. You know what? In retrospect I feel badly Chris was only getting peanuts. Now we know why. That was everything. That was it. That was it.
[00:10:41] That was your meals and your pay. Do remember when we came back to film, we filmed episode two then episode one, which I've already discussed, but I do remember us all coming back. And we kind of just like locked in and like hit the ground running.
[00:10:57] It didn't feel as like who are we what's happening. We already had done that in season one. So I remember coming back and being like we are, we're on, you know, and everyone was excited and everyone kind of had dug deeper into their own characters.
[00:11:12] And we didn't know we were doing 20-22 episodes at the beginning, right? No, we didn't. But we found out early, like around episode seven-ish, I'm going to say. Yeah, seven or eight, somewhere mid-two to three. And then, and we were excited about that.
[00:11:26] Did you want to do 22 episodes? Well, yeah because we didn't know what it meant. We're Canadians. Let's keep going. We're Canadians. And then it comes to episode 20, we were just like, when will this end? I would go, my friend.
[00:11:37] If I have to say the Gerudo one more time, I quit a puncher writer in the face. What they had to do was say Gerudo a million times.
[00:11:44] And I remember at one point coming out of like filming at the end and I was like, is it day or night? Night or day? Like, I didn't know what was up and down, you know. So many fratter days. We were just eating peanuts. We were like, Gerudo.
[00:11:58] Yeah. I'm eating the peanuts from them. Like we're just like... She's pulling them out of my beard. We don't know who we are anymore. It was exciting because like it was a back nine. They call it getting the back nine, right? Yeah, that's an ideal.
[00:12:12] And that's just not something we heard about in Canada. We're like, you know, we didn't know of that. We knew nothing. So it was very, very exciting. But it was like 10 and a half months, I remember of, you know, just her. It was a grime. Was that month?
[00:12:31] Was it the summer? Like end of the summer? Yeah, because we're outside. Yeah, it's more. 205 was all summer. So we shot all the way through to swim. We almost did like a summer to spring. Yeah, we had all seasons. We were out in the winter.
[00:12:49] Well, you've done 22 before. Yeah, we're putting it through episodes. That takes 10 months. Exactly. So you get all the... You did that on rain, right? No, rain we didn't do 22. I think we did like 16. They did 22 the first two seasons.
[00:13:04] And then on Batwoman, I did 20 and we were shut down by the pandemic. And I was like, that's cool. Don't care. I was very happy to have... It's a lot shooting 22 episodes is it's a lot. Yeah. Full on.
[00:13:22] Okay, so then you land back in season two, episode one. What's your favorite memory if you do remember? I know the opening in the tunnel with me and Casey and then Kenzie. What I remembered watching that was that that tunnel, it was like rocky.
[00:13:45] And so we had to like walk across rocks, hold the weapon that had a flash that we couldn't shine into the camera and the tunnel was full of spiders. Like real spiders. So that gun was like the biggest gun I've ever seen. They look great.
[00:13:59] No, I'm not scared. And I'm so scared of... Well, who wants spiders landing on their head? Nobody. Even if you love spiders, that's not where you want them. So I remember... Oh, maybe if you love them. If you love them. Yeah, yeah.
[00:14:12] I had to pretend I love them. I had to like disengage and just be like, I love spiders. If they land in my mouth, it's okay because I was so scared. And I just remember walking through that tunnel. That's what I remember.
[00:14:22] And Lisa, our lovely props lady, I remember her going through the tunnel for me to look for spiders and be like, there's no, no, no, no, there's no spiders. There's no spiders. And I'm like, I know you're lying, but you're very sweet. That's my first memory.
[00:14:33] Those props look great. Like Ian Brock and the production does. I like when Casey holds up like that flame, that one gun. That's so cool. I know. I totally forgot that. Yeah. And it was the first time it was the first time we ever heard about underfa. Right.
[00:14:49] Cause that was kind of interesting. That's where we got into those like darker unearthing of things. Yeah, I, the one of the first things I remember about season two was we had a new show runner grant Rosenberg Rosenberg who was coming
[00:15:06] in from other shows new to our universe, but really like a real good pro, you know, LA pro show runner. And it was, it was an interesting learning curve working with him and seeing what his, you know, cause we were also invested in
[00:15:23] season one when Michelle was invested. Um, and he was much more like, and I remember him sitting me down and he was just like, he, remember he interviewed all of us in the beginning. And he was like, and he asked me before I'm blank, what do you
[00:15:36] think your job is on this show? Was that a great question? Yeah. It's a great question. That's after that. And I was like, I think I'm the grounding baseline is what I said. I think that Dyson's job is to make the world real.
[00:15:50] That all the other things can get built on. Like he's one of him and trick or the kind of baseline of the fake reality. And as soon as I said that he saw, he was like, you're absolutely right.
[00:16:02] And he was like, this guy gets what he's doing and him and I became partners at that point. And we had a great relationship up to a point where then I, you know, there was some stuff that we disagreed on.
[00:16:15] And I remember we had a good disagreement, but then we fixed ourselves sort of mid season and we worked really well. He's a good dude. He was a good dude. He brought a lot to our show. Yeah. A real pro. He's written two novels.
[00:16:27] So that was really, wow. I used to reach out to him every once in a while. I shoot again. So that was my first memory and I'm going, and he kind of gave me permission to be that grounded kind of performance
[00:16:39] that I like to do for Dyson, which sometimes granted I take it too far because you know, we had Jay going, no, no, we want more funny, more funny, more funny. I love that. Cause I feel like by the time I joined the show, you were
[00:16:55] lighter in your portrayal of Dyson and it's so it's really interesting for me to go back and watch your performance in the first two seasons because you're very like gritty and grounded and there's so many moments of silence that you have.
[00:17:14] And it's just a kind of I came from thanks, thanks. That was the training that I had and I love that's that's how what I brought to it. And it was lost girl was and we've talked about the
[00:17:26] amount of craft we had to learn in lost girl because that is a strength. Absolutely. But there are so many other crafting portions of doing character and show and different show style. And so lost girl kind of took me as my personal performance
[00:17:40] from that sort of grounded gritty work, which I was comfortable doing and like forced me to learn to go that lighter and like to service the show in different ways. And like honestly it was a total benefit to my career and learning all those things through lost
[00:17:56] girl. Like we did everything. We went from super grounded to dancing with the dancing on the beds with you two with parasites in our ears. Remember when we were like Alice in Wonderland and I had the prosthetics and like you were the Wizard of Oz,
[00:18:13] the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz. Sorry not. But it developed organically like it didn't feel like that's suddenly changed. It just felt like he was allowing himself, you know, because he's in like Rachel just said to you like
[00:18:28] you were so especially when you come back in this first episode. And the beginning of grumpy. It's that he I remember you and I having conversation about you talking. You were saying to me like the challenge of playing the absence of something.
[00:18:45] Right? Because your love was taken away. How do you play the taking away of something? Right? How do you and so what what what worked so well, I thought was the the anguish in Dyson and this dilemma of telling Bo and also
[00:19:07] I mean, I love love the kiss which I'm jumping ahead a little bit into it. I think the kiss was an end of the first one. Remember they set up the round track and there was all those people dancing and then you and I had to kiss.
[00:19:23] And what I love about is Bo turns away so like full and Dyson's face is just you see that it's absent for him. Like you wonder you wonder but also you can see he's pained by the absence of love which is so interesting and how do
[00:19:40] you do that? But you did it. I mean you did it. Good because yeah, it's a weird one. It's like is it just total apathy or like or is he aware of the loss of it and he has to
[00:19:52] be aware of it but what is the loss of the feeling? Yeah, like blindness or deafness. Yeah, you haven't forgotten her and you have the knowledge of the love. Yeah, it just doesn't penetrate. It was really interesting. I never really talked about it while you were eating peanuts.
[00:20:11] And then to be like action. Oh, okay, the absence of love. But anyway, I had forgotten all about that until I watched these. And I was like, oh yeah. And it was really cool to watch. Well, when I just was watching 202 and at the
[00:20:24] end there where you know you've got the wine and we do then you kiss me again. I couldn't remember how it unfolded. And I thought that when you did the blue eyes on me that you were going to feel like an
[00:20:37] absence like a void like almost a black hole and I thought I couldn't remember how it went. I thought you were going to be like, Oh my God, that you would realize at that point that there's nothing there. But no, the writers were like, you know,
[00:20:48] because they have to like stretch out the angels, right? So it couldn't be something as simple as that. So then Dyson had to be like, well, I'm done. And Bo had to give her the classic psycho girlfriend. I can make you love me.
[00:21:07] Which was kind of cool for Bo to be a bit of a psycho. But that was that was a good scene to do that last scene in 202. Because that really sort of broke us then on the different dejectories. It's also very sweet.
[00:21:21] Like Bo at this point when I look back, she's still so hopeful and there's an innocence and like she still does not understand the danger of the world she's in. She just doesn't quite get it. Skyler is just going back to school. Bye. Bye.
[00:21:41] It came home for lunch. Very nice. So yes, I the other what was I going to say about, oh yeah, I have here Chris hot, yeah, hot frankly. Yeah, whatever. The punch. Punch. Yes, I love that scene in the more fun, the punch scene. That's right.
[00:22:01] When I show up at your place, I mean, and I'm so happy to see you and then I punch you across the face, which I love. I love that scene. It's so good. You're in my memory. I only just watched it, but I can't remember you to me.
[00:22:17] You're shirtless all the time with a motorcycle. I know. Like just stop. Just all man stuff. I just love that. I love that punch. That's such a classic Michelle, Michelle move to just to have that strength. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of those.
[00:22:37] There was a lot of good moments like we started off with it with a bang and season. Yeah, I also love the character who does all the sniffing. But he's like many and he has a cold right now. He's got the allergies. That's where that's where we were
[00:22:51] still like dealing with like Faye hiding in plain sight and saying like, oh, they're one of ours. Like are there all of them or whatever. He was so great that actor. And I love that he has an allergy. Like this is so funny. Yeah.
[00:23:04] You know, we've said this before, but all the guest stars on the show, even people who are only there for maybe two scenes were fantastic. Actors like the other guy, the one who's bombing out skin. Like he was creepy and scary.
[00:23:22] Like just the first time you see him and then I don't know if it was CGI and it's like a job. I'm watching. Rachel, you don't know if it was CGI. Special skills. Special skills. Just join me on that. I don't know what my mouth pretty wide.
[00:23:38] Oh my God, you actually can. Yeah, you actually can. I used to be able to when I was where I was before my accident. Job. Post job reconstruction. But also Paulo Nunes was terrific as the Circusy guy. The Circus headmaster. Whatever you call it. I love Chris.
[00:24:02] I love you smelling the hit the straw. Like you get down here like always like sniffing the knife. I'm always smell this stuff, which as you guys both know is something. Rachel, like you must remember like food would come around and Chris
[00:24:18] would open it and smell it like this like right away. Like and that's what my husband does too. And I'm like, what if it's bad? You smell people. I'm like, I'm gonna go and, I'm gonna just smell. I'm gonna just smell. Yeah. I'm smelling.
[00:24:35] So when you meet Chris Holden Reid at a sci-fi convention, just know he is sniffing you smelling you smelling you. Yeah. Smell good, please. Everybody. At least memorable at least be memorable. Right. So let's go around to episode two. So you guys shot this first
[00:24:56] in the episode. I do. Because that would have been the first in season two. And that's why that's when I re when I saw that scene, that's when I remembered that we shot season two or
[00:25:05] episode two first, because it's the very last scene where we're outside and the stag played by the beautiful Natalie Brown has been erode. And we were outside and I remember my eyes wouldn't stop watering. My hair was a fuzzball. I always remember by hair. And my eyes actually
[00:25:24] wouldn't stop tearing. And that was the first day of filming. And so if I watch it now, I can see how glass glassy eyed I am. And I remember it being like the first day and I was like,
[00:25:34] it was just a big mess. And so that's that's the the weight I bear from that memory. That's your memory. That's how I know. Yeah, I just eaten peanuts. I don't remember. I mean, I remember Natalie Brown is
[00:25:50] the personal friend of mine in Toronto. And what's funny is the stand in Tommy was also in the back and Tommy is a personal friend of mine over the years now here, like we went to surfing
[00:26:00] trip. We were in Costa Rica together with all of our families like last year. And so I totally forgot that he was in that I was like, Oh my God. And so that night we hang out sometimes
[00:26:09] Toronto was like, and told me what the fuck? It was so funny to see us like 15 years ago. Natalie I mean, Natalie has worked steadily for so many years. She's beautiful, obviously she
[00:26:20] actually looks like a deer, you know, like her eyes like and she's such a lovely person. And so we were lucky to have her in that episode. Yeah. And then it also introduced a Lachlan. Yes. Yes.
[00:26:34] Played by Vinnie Walsh who was incredible. And I love that that intro of him. Yeah. Yeah. Who may or may not be on the pod may or may not be on the pod. He does he's in Calgary now shooting for the kid.
[00:26:48] Pretty awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So what episode two? What do we what do we say about that? I mean, I you know, there were so many great performances in episode two. There was something about it that didn't like flow as well to me. I don't know why maybe it's
[00:27:06] because it was the first one back. There was something that just didn't wasn't as seamless as the first one in my mind. And in my honest here, you thought it was a bit
[00:27:16] of a snoozer. I thought it was a bit of a clunker. A clunker clunker. Like it was a lot going on. But also remember we were dealing with Steve DeMarco at the time who was the hatchet man.
[00:27:30] He was called a hatchet man for a reason. He would not give us enough takes. He would cut into our stuff real tight and quick. He grew to love the show and respect it more and changed his directing
[00:27:45] dynamic down the seasonal roads. But in the beginning, I did not like Steve DeMarco. It was very fast. It was fast and dirty. It was like it was so quick. It was too fast, too dirty.
[00:27:54] And I didn't find that he respected the show in the media. Not the media. Using that change between season two and season three. Because I love his style. I loved how fast it was.
[00:28:07] I thought it was like, no, if you showed up and you knew your shit, then you were done by lunch. Because he knew what you wanted. You knew what you wanted. And it was like all systems go.
[00:28:18] But in the beginning, he was a bit arrogant. He was arrogant and egomaniacal about it. And he was coming in as like the guy. He hadn't embraced the show as we all know. He kind of all of a sudden started championing the show and was like,
[00:28:33] very much this is my show, which is also a bit of a problem. Frankly, I think he was fake. I think he was fake. Yeah. Steve DeMarco looked like fake. But he did embrace the show. And he kind of embraced all of us too. I think that
[00:28:50] but it was it was fascinating. It wasn't like that in the episode. No, like it was still the hardest thing for me to watch an episode two. The hardest thing was me walking in that red dress and my voice
[00:29:02] over. I remember on set like being handed the script and being like, do the voice over. And this is what it sounds like. This is what it sounds like. We'll walk into the building and
[00:29:11] we'll go in there and hail you'll go over here and then dice and you'll go over there. But like and that's what they used. I mean, like I never recorded it again. It sounds
[00:29:22] horrible. Maybe no one's going to notice. Did the recording on set? You didn't do it in ADR. Oh, and I did it like and they like handed it to you for the first time.
[00:29:29] And I thought it was like marking it or something. It's just it's awful. It's awful. I remember I got an argument about him and I was like, dude, you need to do another angle.
[00:29:40] So you have some something to cut away to because this isn't flying right there. You didn't give us enough time to do a good performance. And now you're doing it as a water. We need something to cut into. And he was like, just fucking shoot something.
[00:29:54] He kind of liked getting into it, I think. But I do feel like the episode suffered a little bit. It just felt like it just missed the mark. It was like within striking distance. And it missed the mark. Yeah.
[00:30:10] And I remember that's why I was pissed at him on set because I could feel in his pace that he was dropping balls or like the balls weren't all on the table. I was like,
[00:30:20] but then he it all changed around. We like balls on tables. Do you think it would have been different had it been directed by someone else? Because I find in shows like there are amazing
[00:30:31] episodes and things just click and then something like not every episode can be amazing or would it have been? It was probably also quite a long episode, which is probably maybe why they
[00:30:42] gave it to him because a lot is going on. And we shot in Casaloma, right? That location in Toronto and it was beautiful. But there's just a lot of like time restraints when you're shooting in that
[00:30:54] kind of a location, right? Just a lot of crunch. I mean, I think John Fawcett would have done an amazing job with it, but it probably would have run 55 minutes as opposed to 47.
[00:31:04] I don't know why that's what that happened. You guys are watching this when you do the Yeah, do you see that Chris? That you were getting like the bubbles. Rachel do it again. I mean, for those of you watching the video, you'll see
[00:31:17] that Rachel does. I don't know what I did. I don't know what I And then it's recognizing a thumbs up. Yeah, but like now it's not working. That's what iPhones are doing now. And like I've seen people doing interviews where they're
[00:31:27] talking about something like harrowing and serious and they'll be like, just tell me in their hands will do this and all these fireworks will go behind them. Like tell me about your ordeal. You know, like, they're like, Oh, I'm so sorry about these fireworks.
[00:31:40] What is going on? We're just being taken over. Can you turn it off? Yeah. Probably you can. AI is going to ruin us. This actually guys, this isn't even us. This is just our I'm still sleeping and Chris is in the woods and Rachel,
[00:31:57] I don't know what you're doing. This is just AI us. Yeah, like weird. Anyway, both of you are saying to us so it doesn't really matter. Okay. So what do you think worked then the best in this episode and what really didn't work?
[00:32:20] Well, the clunkiness just it just to me didn't work. Like it just didn't didn't have the flow, but what worked? I mean, there's a lot that worked. Yeah. I mean, it got the job done in terms of introducing the characters that then we're
[00:32:34] going to live with for the next 20 episodes. But also your arc in episode one and two, Chris was in particular was like, you know, you have to tell Bo at the end of the first
[00:32:46] episode, you have to tell her that the Norn, which I love that scene by the way. And it's you it's it's heartbreaking for both of them. Yeah, we really had to set up because then,
[00:32:59] you know, it gets more engaged with Lauren and that's really where they brought in the start of the fracture which didn't the love triangle quadrilateral pentagram however many sides it ended up being parallelograms. Multi sided love affairs. But yeah, no definitely those were
[00:33:20] the ones that had to fracture the Dyson singularity, let's say. And then the one thing that I remember about the whole season, especially when we start stretching it out and I talked to Grant the writer
[00:33:34] is like, how do we keep dragging this on and make it interesting? Like where can Dyson move to from this? You know, that's when they brought in Chiara another which I guess is like
[00:33:51] 207 or something like that. No, it was in 205. 205 is going to be the big Dyson backstory one where we did the Braveheart Dyson. I remember that episode so well because I when I joined the show
[00:34:06] I wanted to watch all the episodes and that one in particular for I remember I was in my trailer watching it on a DVD on the TV. I don't know why that episode I remember but I just remember
[00:34:21] being on a really long break watching that episode and just be like, well, this show's so cool. Chris can do a Scottish accent. That's so interesting. You've got to be even more like Harry and sugar like that.
[00:34:35] More Harry, that's right with hair extensions and oh that's where they brought the Norn back. That was his first encounter with the Norn. Oh yeah. Anyway, we can get to that. Bring me back to that episode.
[00:34:48] I'll talk to you about that. Yeah, we'll bring you back for that. Yeah, so yeah, they introduced Chiara. But I just like- But that's down the road. But yeah, talking about one and two is yeah,
[00:34:59] that was just a nice- I just loved the arc for Bo and Dyson. Like they had a whole story, a whole thing that happened in just those two episodes, you know, a beginning, middle, and end.
[00:35:09] It was the most emotional stuff going on for them. You know, it was high stakes. And Bo's not just like jilted. She's like, you know, I love the last scene in episode two
[00:35:20] with Kenzie and Bo. It's one of the best friend scenes or eating ice cream. And I think it's in that scene, but maybe I'm wrong where he where, oh no, maybe it was the beginning.
[00:35:29] I can't remember. But at one point she says to Kenzie, he gave up that for me, like to save me. That alone is love. Like that's the love, you know, that's also Bo's very naive place.
[00:35:43] But I just love that hopefulness in her still. And I love- Absolutely. You played it so well. Like in episode one, two, or at the very beginning scene of episode two when you're on the swing.
[00:35:58] Now that's where Steve DiMarco being your director is amazing, right? When you're on this giant swing, which like it's so funny. I'm sure that they probably just finished putting it in before I got in there and they're like, yeah, it's fine. They always made sure I was safe.
[00:36:15] But you did such a good job of like, seeming a little crazy, like crazy and that's that, like Kenzie was like, hold on a second. What's going on here? But like being like, no,
[00:36:26] I'm just gonna win him back next time. It's a plan. Once you have a plan, you feel good. No, I love that. And you look fucking smoking hot in that red. You know, I still have that red nighty. Really? I don't wear it.
[00:36:43] But I still have that red nighty because once in a while I'll be thinking and I'll be like, oh yeah, the red nighty. More and more stuff. Wait, did you? That wasn't your red nighty though.
[00:36:50] No, no, no. I just, I kept it. You just kept it. Interesting. Where is it? It's like over in my drawers. Over there. Really? Go get it. Go get it. Put it on. Put it on. Put it on. Take it off.
[00:37:02] Back you'll both be eating peanuts. One other thing I loved in this sequence of episodes was the little girl, you know, the vision. Yeah, I remember it. And I don't care if I told this
[00:37:18] story before but like I just, I love, I love seeing children work because she came to set so prepared. We go to the bar to block the scene and I have my sides and you know, I'm like trying
[00:37:32] to figure it out and I'm like looking and I start reading and I look up and she's like right there. She's like, you know, there's a warning coming. And I was like, oh my god, you know
[00:37:40] all your lines, hang on. Hang on. Let me find it. You know, and I was so thrown by her like because she was just so good and so present and like didn't miss a beat in every rehearsal moment and
[00:37:52] everything. She just did it and it was just so cool to work around someone so young. But because children they don't, I mean some, some children do but I think a lot of children who, actor children who have gotten into that profession. I mean think about it when
[00:38:07] you guys were young. I don't know. I got into it as a kid and it wasn't a job to me or it wasn't, like you played pretend all the time. So it was kind of second nature. You weren't embarrassed by
[00:38:17] playing pretend. You weren't self-conscious. That's just what children do. I think it makes, I think in a way makes them very natural brilliant actors when they have that it factor, you know. If they can be kids to do that though, like I've worked with a bunch of kids
[00:38:32] there's the rare one that's like that but I found most of them do it by rote. They learn like whether it's the mom that's like okay, you know they learn it totally perfect and then they actually can't
[00:38:45] be very natural. They just say it every time. And it's too bad because what that does to a young person is first of all if they ever want to continue to be an actor you're teaching them
[00:38:59] what acting isn't you know and you're kind of making that in them at a young age and then they kind of don't stand a chance and it also doesn't feel as good to perform that way. You know so I
[00:39:14] know I hate seeing that like super stagey you know. Anyway this is sad. I mean Chris, you're a child actor right now. What do you feel about it? You're a child with a beard. Perpetual child actor.
[00:39:30] Life long child actor. I brought my dungeons and dragon set to stand. I'm just gonna roll up some characters. I'm setting up the cameras if that's okay. The only acting I did
[00:39:44] as a child because you guys were both actually child actors. I was a, I was not, I was not in college. That's great. I think I'm the only child. Well I did acting as a child but I wouldn't
[00:39:59] call myself a child actor because I did a lot of local commercials in my hometown and then we got paid five dollars that's right. Five big ones which was big. Wow. And then if I, if you
[00:40:11] used to be in a commercial and then we'd walk across the street to King's Place to go to Sigs and Things that was the name of the little shop that had candy. I mean by candy.
[00:40:22] But how did they even get away with paying you five dollars? Because it was local commercials. Non-union. Yeah. That was my experience. That's it. Yep. Back where St. Bruns is where friends are just strangers you don't know yet. That's right. I may rip you off if you're
[00:40:39] kidding me. Five big ones which is probably more like 20 years later you'd lay in a bed of money and it would be fine. That's right. Between seasons I would lay in a big bowl or a big deal.
[00:40:52] Oh my gosh. In your red nighty. In my red nighty. Oh my god. This is so perfect. This is an Instagram photo waiting to happen. Not. So yes. Yeah. You heard it here first on the Lost Girl Rewatch podcast Instagram. Well, on that note, I think we've covered
[00:41:10] just about everything. There's anything else you guys want to add about that season two episodes? Just looks great to see it again. I know. You had to see us all and doing our thing and
[00:41:22] yeah. Right now. Yeah. And it's great to see you again, Mr. Holden Reid. And thank you for being here with us and I know fans are going to love to hear from you as they always do and
[00:41:32] it's just you're always a breath of fresh air. So we really appreciate you. Do you think we're going to look back on this episode in 15 years and be like, damn, Chris was hot. The lesson is no matter what Chris has always thought.
[00:41:49] I'll just have you know, I cut my own hair last night. And you know, you're wearing that nice fisherman sweater. Like I know the fisherman look. In fact, what I've been saying down to here to people is like,
[00:42:01] I love that like captain Highliner look and then I realized no one here. No one knows who Captain Highliner is here. Yeah, but that's because you grew up in New Brunswick. Of course, you're into like the fishermen. I want people to smell kind of fishy.
[00:42:14] I was I was frankly going for the Nordic ski guy look. You're a Nordic ski on a fishing trip. There you go. Anyway, thank you, Mrs. Garstyn. Thank you, Mr. Holden Reed. Thank you everybody for listening. And we'll see you guys on the next one.
[00:42:35] Bye. I'll see you on 205 or I bring you back for the Dyson Backlash. Okay, so it is that time where we answer voicemails from you guys and we're so excited to do this. This is the first time we're hearing these voicemails.
[00:42:58] So Anna, do you want to kick it off? Yes, I do. I'm very excited. Our first voicemail ever on the Lost Girl Rewatch podcast is from Amy. Let's listen. Hello ladies. Hey, Rachel and Anna. Anna, it's Amy. I know you're shocked to hear from me.
[00:43:18] I'm totally kidding. And I can't believe that we have to do this in one take. That is not fair. Anywho, are we only allowed to ask questions specific to season two? And then I just want to know which you guys preferred shooting inside or outside,
[00:43:41] not including the days that it's cold because I know that would suck, but which did you guys like to do? And then if it is specific to season two, just start with season one then I guess because that was shot outside.
[00:43:56] Okay. Thank you ladies. Have a great weekend. Okay. Thank you, Amy, for your question. And I'm very happy to hear from you. I don't know. I mean... That one doesn't have to be specific to any season. I think it can be sort of general.
[00:44:15] What do you like inside or outside? I mean, I like lots of mixing it up. I do like if we've been on location, which is like outside or away from the studio, I like coming back to the studio and having a little bit of a hunker
[00:44:30] down week. That's kind of nice. I don't know. We're always too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry. So I don't know. There's something nice about the energy of outside though. Okay. For sure, if you're like, you know, downtown beside a coffee shop and it's
[00:44:49] like temperate summer, but winter. That brings you a coffee. Yeah. Usually it's like you're shooting outside and it's 4am and you're freezing because it's winter where you and I in Brazenwood where it was so hot. Like I think I lost 20 pounds of water weight all in my pants.
[00:45:11] Yeah. So I would have to say, for sure sometimes it's nice to shoot outside, but I'm like a studio girl all the way. I love shooting in the studio. Yeah. I do too. I think if I have to choose,
[00:45:22] I like the security of the studio. It's a little bit more controlled. And yeah, and questions guys could be about any season. It doesn't have to be specific to season two.
[00:45:33] Just FYI. I love it to be specific to the episode. That's very fun, but it does not have to be. So okay, let's do another one. This one is from Yolanda. Okay. Yolanda. Question for Anna. What's your favorite food? Oh, God. What's my favorite food?
[00:45:53] I mean, well, you don't like hot dogs. No, I'm not. I definitely, let's start with what I hate. Hot dogs, veggie dogs, any type of tube of something. I don't like it. Tube food. Yeah, too. I'm not into it. But my favorite food, I mean,
[00:46:10] I love sushi. I feel like everyone says that. I love vegetables, boring, but I do. I love them. I love roasting vegetables. I remember you used to get steamed veggies with like olive oil and hot sauce or something on it. Oh yeah, steamed veggies with sriracha.
[00:46:31] Remember that? Because I remember everyone through food. That's so funny. I mean, you do. You do actually remember everyone's food. Yes, steamed veggies with sriracha. I still get that on set. That's my go-to. Nice. But it was, they did probably the
[00:46:48] best on Lost Girl. Maybe tied with one other show for selection of veggies. Nice. Good. Well, great questions, guys. Thank you. Keep sending them in and we will keep answering them. See you next time. Bye.
