Well, if you hadn't heard by now: Lauren and Bo won!
But what I find interesting is that not only was the final showdown between two lesbian couples, but the final four also included Glee's Kurt and Blaine. And I admitted in my voting history, I chose pairs that I either knew and liked, or they were LGBT. Apparently I wasn't the only one who used that methodology.
As for the Lost Girl win, it kind of reaffirms my personal opinion in the debate between Bo/Lauren and Bo/Dyson is that what makes the show really stand out as a fan favorite in a very crowded genre of supernatural television is a character like Lauren: an admirable lesbian who does the best she can in such a world. And it helps pairing her with the show's lead character to boot (with an admirable job by both actresses).
I personally always thought that the Dyson character was just cliche: badass, straight male character -- yawn!
I'm all for more characters like Lauren. Well, actually, more of Lauren is also great too!
