There is no way you gonna beat girl on girl,must even all the male viewers going to vote for Lauren. And some of the female audience will be of her, while the other 85% will be team Dyson.

Sexually, I don't care either way, but emotionally, Dyson told Bo like it is, "She will never love you." Lauren seems kind of pathetic and needy to me. I haven't seen anything past the current season on Syfy, so perhaps she improves, but I find that unlikely. I also feel that she has an agenda as well.

EXcept for which team you had rather be on, all the friggin' poles are closed. Just thought I'd pass that piece of trivia along.

I'm glad the season 1 finale is coming up soon for you guys. Then I can really say how I feel without having to use spoilers...

I will say this though, I feel lone wolf Dyson is way ahead needy Lauren on the scorecard, Showcase poll be damned...

[JaimeAustin]

Dyson told Bo like it is, "She will never love you."

Dyson saying that doesn't surprise me. He knows that Bo is interested in her, so telling her that Lauren will never love her is his way of sabotaging his competition. He doesn't know what is in Lauren's heart. Play fair Dyson!

[Rhuen1]

I say what I say after seeing up through season 2, but was my impression in season 1 so not a spoiler.

Dyson is a control freak jerk, who is unable to accept that Bo is a succubus and thus drawn to variou sexual partners and has serious issues of his own. The two just don't mesh well with me. One is a hundreds of years old werewolf warrior who used to getting things his way and others falling for him; but not used to falling for others and feels possessive of everthing in his life.

Lauren is a doctor, with confussed goals, not to mention human so anything longe term with Bo would be impossible (Bo will stay young while Lauren grows old and dies), and Bo can't turn people so not an option. Lauren also has other issues working against her that I can't reveal

as for other options

Spoiler

team Ryan, *I think that's his name*; honestly I felt the whole dark fae thing was working well for her and the show as its been awfully one sided for the light fae; who are just as big of a89-holes with only a slightly different world view; unfortunatly his nature makes him mess with people. But otherwise I felt he was a good match for Bo. There are those who also want Bo to end up with Kenzie; a friendship turned someting else. I am half expecting the show to introduce an Incubus to throw the whole situation wacky. After all, Lauren said she treated one; and they are apparently more common than Succubae; which would match the folklore which says there are nine Incubae for ever Succubae *that is the other folklore from the one thay says both are the same creature that can change genders* Still think that would be funny; Bo and Dyson are going at it, and Bo suddenly taps into a new power inside her and becomes a man, Yaoi moment LoL

[Meli24]

Dyson for sure. Don't have a problem with same sex relationships (I quite liked Willow/Tara in BTVS) but I really enjoy Bo and Dyson's scenes together. I think the two actors have wonderful onscreen chemistry. Lauren bores me.

I would really like to see the Bo/Dyson connection continue. The Bo/Lauren connection to me is boring and a waste of time. Besides, I don’t like or trust Lauren. Don’t know why, but she really annoys me.

I with ya. She really annoys me too. I don't know she feels........duplicitous. I know Dyson is controlling and alpha and yada yada yada, but Lauren just isn't trustworthy.

[lsbloom]

I've always been with Kenzi: Lauren is just too cold and frigid. But then again, I like alpha male, protector-types when they are done well. And KHR does it really well.

[EvilDoctor]

Okay, now that the season 1 finale is over, I can say this: Dyson has sacrificed more and done more for Bo than Lauren (who has basically done nothing for Bo, other than get her hot and bothered...)

So there...

I will have to politely disagree. Lauren has provided Bo will very valuable info thoughout the season that has saved her hide. Speaking of the finale, Lauren risked her life by giving Bo the info on where to and how to get the necklace that blocked her Mother from sucking her chi out. Lauren is a slave of the ash, she risked death or punishment for giving Bo that information. Bo would have been dead meat without that necklace, regardless of getting Dyson strength at the last second. Lauren is human, no wolf strength or powers, but manages to make an impact anyways. While that was great of Dyson to go to the Norn and make that deal, but as soon as the Norn told him she was taking his love for Bo, he started screaming NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!. :unsure:Looked like he wished he could back out to me. And was it necessary for him to take his shirt off for the Norn????

Yes, it was totally necessary to take off the shirt...did you see how horrible the jacket he was wearing was? Kidding.

But on an I actually mean what I say note, Lauren didn't really risk anything helping Bo--it was a help I'm not saying it wasn't, and if Bo had been caught and turned Lauren in (would Bo really have done that?) maybe there would have been consequences, especially for Bo and Kenzi, but the Light was in disarray most of the elders were dead, the Ash was on life support, and from the looks of it no one was in charge. It was nothing compared with what Trick and Dyson gave up. Lauren has never had her life threatened. She has a nice cushy job that she likes and fae that she orders around because she runs the light fae labs. And she is no more of a slave to the Ash in S1 or S2 than any of the fae are. Fae have to do what they are told. They can't chose their owns lives--it was a big theme in season 1. Remember the bartender in faetal justice, he didn't even want to do the job he had, they made him. It is a strict system and she chose to be a part of it. She gets out of it what she gets out of it. And when given the chance she stays in it. Those are all "free" choices. But she has never risked her "life" to help Bo in S1. Saying she did is hypothetically putting consequences to her actions based on no explicit fae justice that we have seen. When the Ash found out she was helping Bo, he didn't even care except as how it would help him achieve his own ends. He didn't even fuss at her, not even a slap on the wrist. Nothing.

And the argument that Lauren is human and frail and needs to be held to a different standard of "helping" has a major flaw and that flaw's name is Kenzi. Kenzi has no problem fitting in with the fae, Kenzi lays her life on the line again and again, Kenzi always puts Bo first, Kenzi never betrays Bo because she is a frail human living in a dangerous world. Kenzi was the one pushing Trick to help and pulling Bo back from the edge. Lauren has a lot of power and she uses it frequently. But still, she is a beta character and she doesn't own her choices which ends up with her following protocol and being willing to kill Bo to do what is "best" for the fae.

I'd scream "no" too if my heart was being ripped out when I thought I made a completely different deal. But he was willing to sacrifice his wolf--who he was, his lifespan, his strength, his place in fae society, the person he was for 1000 years. And still with all that, his love for Bo was more important to him. I'd make a point that he accepts what happened, but that would require a spoiler tag and frankly I don't know how to create one plus they never work in my browser.

I am truly unsure as to which part I agree with you more…although the jacket seems to be winning. My first unkind thought was that he wore the jacket as an identifier (he wore the same thing a few centuries ago) or as a penitent or as penitence: still cannot decide.

But the comments on Lauren and Dyson are spot on: Lauren, while she does do some things for Bo, never really lays it on the line. Trick, Kenzi and Dyson do lay everything on the line for Bo.

[Thekalico1]

Just because Lauren didn't receive any punishment (that we could see) from the Ash for helping Bo without his permission doesn't take away the fact that she did risk her life by doing so. Lauren might work in a lab but her job is not "cushy" by any means she is still a slave wether she is in the field or in the house, she still has no choice as to what she does. Lauren should be judged by a different standard than Kenzi because Kenzi is free to do what she wants, while Lauren doesn't have that luxury. Lauren cant go to the norn, or have the freedom to follow Bo around where ever she goes, yet she has still has done everything in her power to help her. The one episode Lauren was allowed to leave the lab she saved Bo and Kenzi using her strengths, her intellect and medical knowledge. Not to mention Lauren only had about three episodes of substantial screen time, and appeared for only a few minutes in the other episodes she was in. Dismissing Lauren for not helping Bo as much as Dyson has is like blaming a one legged man for losing an a** kicking contest.

You brought up some excellant points. Lauren doesn't have to become a female Rambo to prove her value to Bo, looks like Kensi has that covered anyways. Lauren uses her brain to come up with solutions, it may not be as showy as picking up and swinging around a big sword or taking off your shirt, growling, with glowing yellow eyes, but hey it 's still is effective.
