Lost Girl Episode 313
“Those Who Wander”
Written By: Emily Andras
Directed By: Ron Murphy
Original Airdate: 22 April 2013
In This Episode...
Picking up where we left off, Bo is trying to fix up Tamsin but it is not working. I’m not sure where they came from, but a couple of truly obnoxious sluts in cocktail dresses are dancing around Bo’s house and just generally getting in the way. They make some vague mention of Tamsin dying - I guess the valkyrie’s curse is that they are forced to live and die and be reincarnated over and over for all eternity - then Tamsin wakes up and the sluts disappear. Bo needs Tamsin to help her get into the compound, but first they pay Massimo a visit so Tamsin can get a “booster shot” that will juice her up when necessary - basically like a fae steroid shot. He...

The key 3 actors who portrayed "The Trailer Park Boys", star in the new series "The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour", debuting July 22, 2011 on the Shaw Media specialty channel 'Action'.
Originally produced for Showcase in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the six-part mini-series reunites actors Mike Smith, Robb Wells and J.P. Tremblay:
"...Set in the sleepy fictional town of 'Port Cockerton', the series catches up with 'Mike', 'Robb' and 'Jp' in the midst of shooting their new sketch-variety TV show called 'The Happy Funtime Hour'. Disastrously, an actor hired to play a wacky German scientist, assumes the personality of his character after synthesizing a powerful and addictive hallucinogen derived from local berries. Chaos ensues in town as the cast ingests the drugs and begins to believe they really are the characters they portray on the show – including deranged pirates, drug-addled playboys from a 1980's television show and a group of not-so-super superheroes.
