As for the soapy content, we unfortunately have to deal with that just to get it on TV and for it to have an audience. Could be worse -- if it were on Showtime, there would be more special effects paid for by the gay lobby (a la Torchwood).
Actually, bringing up Torchwood isn't off the point -- last season, they did a lot of introducing characters of little or no consequence and then getting rid of them (killing them off) by the end of the episode.
I realize that "Lost girl" is not SciFi, but it is on the SyFy channel and my wife and i quit watching when they started with the lezbo CR@P. They had some great story lines and just ruined it.
