The best episode ever (5.13)

All the silliness was gone. This is much closer to how the entire series should have been, much closer to its potential.

Hades wants Bo to become angry, become vengeance. That's also why Trick turned her off, to stop that from happening.

Will we also get to see this:

«I can be more powerful than all of the Fae. Everyone will kneel at my feet. There will be no more dark, and no more light. There will be only me».

And Bo becoming the queen of the Fey?

They have at least opened for that, now, since two of them are dead already.
It has suddenly, by one stroke become a much better show.

We've got one person who likes to spell Fae as Fea.
We now have a person spelling it as Fey.

I can't wait for the next creative misspelling! Is it going to be Fag?

This forum is chock-full of amusement.

teeveejeevee please don't do that.. If you're referring to the zetaboards-forum or doccubus, people in my opinion are bullies there, who won't let others have any opinions that doesn't match theirs. If you're not "the right shipper" or a shipper at all they'll bite your f:ing head off. I'm sorry but I don't see the point of you trying to make Tristen seem like a laughing stock or whatever by saying he was a subject of a forum where people act crazy. Can't imdb be the place where people can have opinions and discuss the show without attacking one and other?

[–] teeveejeevee 9 years ago

You shouldn't be name dropping. You don't know what forum I saw it in and if you think fans are limited to three forums on the web, including this one, then you don't know Lost Girl's fandom.

You want to tolerate fools? Go right ahead. You want to accept what a fool has to say about Lost Girl while he deliberately misspells important subjects about the series? Go right ahead.

"There's a sucker born every minute" wouldn't be true if there weren't suckers.

[–] alm_qv 9 years ago

"You shouldn`t be name dropping"? Why, because Lost girl is some kind of a secret cult or something? It´s true I dont know all of LG:s forum-sites, because I´m not that kind of fan. I watched all eps of LG I enjoy the show, sometimes I like to discuss it without the shipper thing. I sure as hell don´t spend all my time checking out all of the forums that exist on the show.

That`s the thing though, I don´t see him as a fool. He has good opinions and is willing to discuss every corner of the show without being one dimensional oppose to the forums I have checked out. If there´s some misspelling, I don´t mind that. I`m a Swede myself I tend to misspell too.

Grammar nazis are clearly the problem.

Notice that the GN doesn't comment on the OP at all. That is truly disrespectful.

BTW I, as an author, like any author know far more about editing than the GN.

I, as an author, wish I was good at editing. It'd save me a hell of a lot of money if I could fix my own writing.

What you need is your very own Maxwell Perkins. ;-)

[–] teeveejeevee 9 years ago

The reason I said you shouldn't name drop is because that is another way to get people to go to those sites. You say people "are bullies there, who won't let others have any opinions that doesn't match theirs" -- yet you point to the direction of where to find them.

My comment about the misspellings had nothing to do with shipping. Find a single word in my comments where I mentioned a specific character or couple in Lost Girl. You won't. Shipping wars are moronic.

This is not about being ESL and misspelling English language words. English is not my native language -- it's my third.

This matter is not about being ESL, it is about someone who deliberately misspells an important Lost Girl subject, had it brought to his attention long ago, and continues to do it because it's a game for him.

I don't respect people who do this. I don't take anything they have to say seriously when I realize they're playing games. And I call them out. I give them enough rope to hang themselves. And he did. With the Tue Oct 6 2015 00:35:20 reply where he admitted "I will mispell whatever I want." He's tooling you, he's tooling others here.

It's probably more commonly spelled as "fey" than "fae".

[–] teeveejeevee 9 years ago

Ignorance is bliss -- but not if I'm around to do something about it.

(1)

The word "Fae" comes from "Fairy".
"Fey" is a Germanic word meaning "fated to die." "Fey" is unrelated to the Latin ("fata") and Old French ("faerie") origins of the word.

read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy

(2)

The series spells it "Fae". If you're going discuss anything related to Lost Girl that includes the word, you use the terminology used by the creators of the series.

They and Showcase executives also use the word "Faenatics" to describe fans of Lost Girl.

"Fae" has been included in the titles of episodes:

It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World
Where There's a Will, There's a Fae
Faetal Attraction
ArachnoFaebia
Fae Day
Faetal Justice
Something Wicked This Fae Comes
I Fought the Fae (and the Fae Won)
BrotherFae of the Wolves
It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away
Fae Gone Wild
Raging Fae
Can't See the Fae-Rest
Table for Fae
The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire
Fae-nted Love
Caged Fae
SubterrFaenean
Fae-de To Black
Faes Wide Shut
Fae-ge Against The Machine
Adventures in Fae-bysitting
La Fae Époque
Groundhog Fae
It's Your Lucky Fae
Clear Eyes, Fae Hearts
End of Faes
Judgement Fae

I'm not arguing either the ilnguistic origins or the spelling used by the show's cast and crew. But the spelling "fey" has been used in association with fairies, elves, and the like for a long time now. It's been used in fiction, role-playing games, video games, and descriptions of folklore/mythology for decades.

[–] teeveejeevee 9 years ago

That's the point of education.

Just because the word "fey" has been used in Dungeons & Dragons and other sources in "association with fairies, elves, and the like" doesn't make it correct usage. It's not a noun, it's an archaic adjective whose use in such association has been the result of a poor language domino-effect.

In this context, since "fey" is a Germanic word, this is an apropos way to describe its usage in connection to fairies, elves, etc.:

"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself."

(The source of the quote may be despicable, but it's a truth that has been proven too often.)

In any event,

F-a-e is the general term used by Lost Girl for its supernatural species. Deliberately refusing to use the word the series itself uses and promotes is simply sophomoric stubbornness.

[–] KthulhuX 9 years ago

When they have been used in popular culture for a few decades, words actually enter the English language, even if originally they weren't "correct".

From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fey?s=t:

fey

adjective

1. British Dialect. doomed; fated to die.

2. Chiefly Scot. appearing to be under a spell; marked by an apprehension of death, calamity, or evil.

3. supernatural; unreal; enchanted:
elves, fairies, and other fey creatures.

4. being in unnaturally high spirits, as were formerly thought to precede death.

5. whimsical; strange; otherworldly:
a strange child with a mysterious smile and a fey manner.

I'll see your dictionary.com and raise you oxforddictionaries.com ("oxford" from ... um ... Oxford University).

Origin

Old English fǣge (in the sense 'fated to die soon'), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch veeg and to German feige 'cowardly'.

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/english/fey

Since this is a forum about the TV show called Lost Girl, and the word used by its writers, production company, and home channel is Fae -- the word that anyone uses to talk about the supernatural species in Lost Girl should be the word spelled F-A-E.

It's that simple and easy. It's not brain surgery.

P.S. Thanks for confirming that "fey" is an adjective, not a noun. The word Fae (derived from fairy) is a noun. In case you don't know what a noun is:

noun

A2 a word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance, or quality:
'Doctor', 'coal', and 'beauty' are all nouns.
