History YMMV / LostGirl

** Bo/Lauren=Doccubus. So called because Lauren is a [[HotScientist doctor]] and Bo is a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]].

** Bo/Lauren=Doccubus. So called because Lauren is a [[HotScientist doctor]] and Bo is a [[HornyDevil succubus]].

* WhatAnIdiot: Really, Kenzi? You're in the house of someone you know isn't human, and eat their food without checking for permission ''or'' to see what it is? That's both very rude and very stupid.

* AcceptableTargets: The early-seasons writers seem to consider {{Nerd}}s and {{Goth}}s fair game for ridicule, which is somewhat odd considering that Kenzi is plenty gothic herself. Everyone else is treated with considerable scorn that sometimes borders on open contempt.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the season two episode, "Mirror, Mirror", Bo mispronounces Baba Yaga's name as "Baby Yoda". [[FanNickname "Baby Yoda"]] would exist years later with the Disney+ debut of [[TheMandalorian The Mandalorian]] in 2019.

* GeniusBonus: At first glance Tamsin being a Dark Fae seems out of step with traditional Norse mythology. Valkyries are usually thought of as the (rough) Norse equivalent to [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Judeo-Christian angels]]. But actually, their depiction in Norse mythology was not always so positive. Many of the older myths describe them as violent war spirits. And they didn't just carry off the souls of the valiant dead, they helped ''make'' them dead.

* AngstWhatAngst: Played with for Lauren in Season 2. After [[spoiler:Nadia dies (in Lauren's [[DiedInYourArmsTonight arms no less]]]]), Lauren spends the next episode going through a realistic process of grief. While it is gone by the next episode, this can be justified by how reserved Lauren typically is, which is implied to be the only way she survived the Fae world.
** Ultimately averted in Season 3, Lauren finally breaks down and admits how much the last years have affected her.

* DesignatedVillain: The Norn arguably. Her deal seems to be: you sacrifice that which you value the most in exchange for what it is you want. If that is the case (which Dyson apparently knew), then it's his fault for not knowing what it was that he valued the most. Her behavior after is her merely sticking to the deal, and refusing to go back. If someone had ''offered'' her something in exchange for Dyson's love, that would be different.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Kenzi.
** Vex [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] this in season 3.
* EvilIsSexy: The Morrigan.

* FanPreferredCouple: [[LesYay Bo/Lauren or Bo/Tamsin]].

* IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Bo/Lauren=Doccubus. So called because Lauren is a [[HotScientist doctor]] and Bo is a [[HornyDevil succubus]].

* MagnificentBastard: Lauchlan/The Ash II.

** There have even been a few Bo/Dyson/Kenzi fics floating around the archive

* HellIsThatNoise: The Banshee's wail.

* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Dr. Isaac Taft]] from season 3 proves HumansAreTheRealMonsters in a show full of vicious Fae. Desiring to [[IJustWantToBeSpecial become a powerful Fae himself]], Taft has multiple Fae kidnapped and subjected to hideous and torturous experiments before dumping their corpses into a mass grave. One of the few survivors is left mentally scarred and nearly insane. Taft captures the succubus heroine Bo's ex-boyfriend Dyson and has him experimented on as well, planning to blackmail Bo's current lover Lauren into experimenting on Dyson to transport his essence into Taft. Interested only in his own advancement, Taft believed that with [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney billions of dollars, he could do anything he desired]].

* TheyJustDidntCare: Tamsin mispronounces the worth "Kitsune" ''every time she says it'' by dropping the last syllable. Protip: The E is not silent. Though that could just be that ''she'' doesn't care.
** Though in fairness, she's also one of the only people who pronounces the "Dal" in "Dal Riata" correctly.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: The bathtub scene in 3x12 with Tamsin talking to Bo could arguably count as this.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Shows signs of this, especially in "The Kenzi Scale."

* ShipTease: Kenzi and Hale, [[spoiler:until the ship was canonized in season 4]].
** Kenzi and Dyson. Though the pairing is not officially canon, the two of them have had a few interactions that can absolutely not be classified as platonic.

** IronWoobie: Since they all keep going. Bo says Lauren is the strongest person she's ever met. Dyson, meanwhile, calls Kenzie the strongest person.
* XMeetsY: For the UrbanFantasy and the plentiful {{Fanservice}}, the show has been described as "Series/{{Supernatural}}'s DistaffCounterpart".

** Hale's rejection of Kenzi in "Fae'd to Black" is portrayed as a KickTheDog moment. But he had to reason to think anything was actually wrong with her (nor did anyone else), and last time she barged in him during a meeting (ignoring his attempts to tell her to stop) to talk about fashion. It's hardly surprising that he shut her out at the end.

** Dyson/Kenzi is popular as well.

* ShipTease: Kenzi and Hale, until the ship was canonized.
** Kenzi and Dyson. It's not solidly canon yet, but the ship is strong with this pairing. It became very obvious in season three that the powers that be are well aware of it. It became even more obvious in Season 4.

* DesignatedProtagonistSyndrome: Bo is sadly a rather plain main character mixed in with a large group of colorful supportive characters.

* ShipTease: Kenzi and Hale.
** Kenzi and Dyson. It's not canon yet, but the ship is strong with this pairing. It became very obvious in season three that the powers that be are well aware of it. It became even more obvious in Season 4.
