“the love story of the show”
GRAEME MANSON

Brilliant grad student meets gorgeous French scientist. You have killer grades. Enchantée. Bonjour, Cosima. I'm so glad you could come. Love me, love me, say that you love me; fool me, fool me, go on and fool me. Did you just say a jogging? I'm gonna get you so baked one day. It's really nice to make a friend in this brave new world. I'm kind of always late, so, kind of always sorry. Yes, I am the cold turkey asshle. Don't you think it's time we admit what this is really about? You know, it's really nice to have some who gets it -- who gets me. Yeah, ditto, obvs. I can't stop thinking about that kiss. Like, in a not bad way? I have never thought about bisexuality. I mean, for myself, you know? But, as a scientist, I know that sexuality, is a spectrum. But you know, social biases they codify attraction. It's contrary to the biological facts. That's oddly romantic. Totally encouraging. You're going to be a craven addict. I think I already am. Promise me Cosima's safe. I was wondering if I could come over later? Bonsoir ma chérie. I'm so stupid. No, no you're not -- you knew this all along. I knew it was bullsht, but I still thought you were on my side. I wanted to trust you. You can trust me. Listen to me, I had to do it! He says you're in danger. Delphine, you can use me, that's fine, but don't go near that little girl. I didn't, and I won't! Listen to me, please, just listen: I didn't want to fall for you. I wasn't supposed to. But I have. How can I possibly believe that, Delphine? Because you feel it. This is not a lie -- it's not possible. Si l’on me perd, sache que je serai la tienne; if they lose me, know that I'll be yours. Why I are you here? Because I ... I'm on your side now. Please believe me. You have to trust someone. I know your code number. You do? Yes, I saw it many times. It's 324B21. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sick, Delphine.

Star-crossed lovers. You still work for Leekie. On your behalf, to protect you. Our relationship can be whatever we want. Congratulations, I'm invested, which I'm sure is what you wanted. Look, I'm not gonna apologize for my heart, okay? I just want to make crazy science with you in our new lab. Are you making me, like, a shopping list? I am. Moot? You're so cute. Mmmmm, Dr. Cormier. Sometimes I forget that you're mine. It's not fake, not for any of us. I'll try anything. So will I. Dude, are you sure this is a good idea? If Leekie is withholding a treatment from you, yes. He's gonna ruin your career. Destroy your reputation as a budding lesbian. Mon amour. Pauvre petit choit. You're the puppy. Can you feel that? A little. And that? Yeah. This is the start of getting you well, Cosima. Out. You don't understand. It's my lab, I'm the science, get out! I locked you out. Seriously? I just really don't want you here. I'm trying to help. Tell me what you want. I'm gonna keep the promise that I made to you when we first met ... that one day I'd get you completely baked. I have something important I want to tell you: je t'aime. Cosima, it's your life. It's not just that. It's all of us; you have to love all of us. Then I love all of you. And I love you too. Please, just let me say goodbye to Cosima. I love her. And if you let her die without me, it is personal. From: Eskimo Pie, Subject: Urgent; It's up to you now. Don't be afraid. I will never leave you. Did the puppy follow the explorer the whole way? Mmhmm. Cool, huh?

Soulmates. I'm so happy you're back. Cosima, I am keeping my promise to love all of your sisters equally. But to do that, I can't do this. Do you understand? We all have our part to play. Yours is to cure yourself and your sisters. I love you. Expensive perfume. Pretentious French cigarettes. And oh, yes! Eskimo pies. Cosima, this jumper absolutely reeks of pining. I pine for no woman. What am I really looking for? The one who stays in your heart forever, no matter what. Her name is Delphine. She and I work together. And she's French. Mostly just really great hair. You're back. You want to play games? I miss you. Don't fight me. You know this is important. I have a theory. Before we leave this life, we see what we love. I mean like pit of the soul, can't live without it, love. And if it's strong enough, sometimes we find our way back. I'm French; we enjoy lovers. Can we just put our minds together like we used to and leave the crazy science out of it? Delphine, if you're not gonna be with me, if you're not gonna switch sides, let me go! The day you left for Frankfurt I almost died. I had some kind of near death experience. It was so easy, I could of just slipped away. And then I had a vision of you. I came back for you. Why didn't you tell me? 'Cause you don't believe in stuff like that. Because we have to move on. Come here, come here. I'm sorry. You should have trusted me. Your resignation is accepted. I want you to give her this. And tell her that I said to tell you everything. If she wants to, it's her decision. 324B21. Hey, you came. I know why you did everything you did. I'm sorry I made you make those hard choices and then ... and then blamed you for them. Give your sisters all my love. What will happen to her?

True love reunited. I need you to tell me that Delphine is alive. I can't do that, love. The last time I saw her, it felt like she knew something bad was gonna happen. I just miss her so much. It's her research on there too, isn't it? I couldn't have done it without her. Tell me what happened to Delphine Cormier. Delphine Cormier was shot dead at the DYAD parkade. Oh my God! There you go, listen to your lab partner. Yeah, she's dead too. Two relationships, one missing soulmate. I need you to listen to me, because this is about Delphine. What about her? Delphine was alive when they took her away. Cosima? We're going to figure it out, okay? Thank you. If Delphine's alive, I mean ... I don't know. If she's alive, we'll find her. J'espère que tu me vois ... nous fimes deux en amour ... dépêche, mon amour; I hope you can see me ... we were two in love ... hurry up, my love. I'm right here. I'm right here. I'm gonna keep you warm. I think I'm dying. No. No, you're not. I won't let you. I finished our homework. What? Is our homework what I think it is? You found your cure! You can shoot me up like old times.

Freedom. You must not tell anyone. Whatever happens -- follow my lead! I thought you were dead. I wasn't allowed to contact you. Why are you here now? Please just listen; there's no time. This isn't what I want either. Where are you taking her? She has a research trip. I'm going to Sardinia. Sardinia. We each have a role here, Cosima. You didn't think it would be there. I need something to hold on to. This place ... This is the heart of Neolution. Follow the crazy science.

t a t i a n a m a s l a n y ;

Cosima is quite taken by Delphine ... This is her life, this is her heart, this is a person who could be quite important to her.

I think Cosima is kind of surprised by her feelings for Delphine. It's the kind of attraction, and need, that blinds her ... Her attraction and feelings are undeniable to her, even though it might be dangerous.

Their relationship is really something I connect to quite deeply because of the sort of the imperfection of it and the betrayal in it and it -- it just feels very real to have fallen for somebody who you knew kind of the whole time would be the wrong person to fall for. I feel like that’s quite a human thing and it was written quite beautifully.

Cosima's so focused on her work that it can get quite insular and she can get quite lonely and have a one-track mind. When she meets Delphine, her world blows up and she doesn't know how to even deal with the emotions she's feeling and how much she wants Delphine.

They're on opposite ends of the equation, sort of like Romeo and Juliet. There remains tension between them, but ultimately they love each other.

e v e l y n e b r o c h u ;

She made some really clear symbolic moves. I mean, at the end of S1 she travels and goes on Cosima's side ... that's a true act of love and it's a true act of solidarity.

Delphine is a passionate girl when it comes to science and Cosima.

There is definitely a really intense passion and love between those two characters ... It's so many things at once. It's lovers, it's co-workers, eventually there is going to be a patient/doctor relationship. Experiment/scientist. It's so much, you know. It makes it so rich.

There's definitely a really intense passion and love between those two characters. It's love, you know? As complex and great and wonderful and crazy as it is.”

g r a e m e m a n s o n ;

Delphine too makes a choice to follow her heart for an individual, even though she's always been 'straight.' ... Isn't that sweet?

These two together, they're gold.

top five moments
— s e a s o n . o n e —

#5 | "Unconscious Selection" (109)

Delphine: Bonsoir, ma chérie. I have the truffles that I promised you. You okay?
Cosima: Are you?
Delphine: Well, I was, but ...
Cosima: "Delphine Cormier". Not "Beraud". You've already got your doctorate in immunology, don't you?
Delphine: I am ... so sorry.
Cosima: I'm so stupid.
Delphine: No! No, you're not. You knew this all along.
Cosima: Yeah, that transcript you accidentally left behind, your fake boyfriend in Paris. Pretending you
didn't know who Dr. Leekie was. I knew it was bullsht, but I still thought you were on my side. I wanted to trust you.

#4 | "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (110)

Cosima: Why are you here?
Delphine: Because I ... Because Leekie is a liar. And I think you can prove it scientifically -- with
that, your synthetic sequence.
Cosima: He gave me my whole genome.
Delphine: Yes, but, you can't find that sequence anymore, can you? He would have scrubbed it.
[Cosima angrily knocks all her papers off her desk]
Delphine: [reaching for her] Hey ...
Cosima: Don't.
Delphine: I'm on your side now. Please believe me. You need to trust someone.

#3 | "Variations Under Domestication" (106)

Delphine: It's really nice to make a friend in the brave new world.
Cosima: Yeah.
Delphine: I have to go.
Cosima: Oh, okay, yeah.

#2 | "Unconscious Selection" (109)

Delphine: Just let me tell you this one thing. I didn't want to fall for you.
I wasn't supposed to. But I have.
Cosima: How can I possibly believe that, Delphine?
Delphine: Because you feel it! This is -- it's not a lie. It's not possible.

#1 | "Unconscious Selection" (109)

Delphine: I have to run to class, but I was wondering if I could ... come over later?
Cosima: Yeah, of course.

Ooh great title!

I love this title sfm.

Ha! Awesome title!

If attraction is in part determined by how genetically compatible people are, their genomes must be hypercompatible.

this place is probably gonna fly next season (hopefully at our own board)

PheeNiks · 06-29-2013, 02:35 PM

WTF I go away for a few days and come back to a new thread? Way to go guys.

Back to where the old thread left off. I agree that it's ridiculous the double standard shown with C and D, but they did get tamer with the sex scenes after the season premiere. However, Paul and Sara still get more racy scenes even if it isn't the episode 1 table **** in the kitchen. They got the shower scene, Paul's naked body on Sarah, and in Felix's bed which we knew they were naked. The bras and panties in bed after sex was just laughable. These types of scenes are done on Lost Girl all the time. Even SyFy had a scene in Defiance that was more "explicit" than C/D. They show this stuff with hetero couples every day on regular TV shows without showing nudity. They either are wrapped in sheets, or when someone gets out of bed naked they film it in a way where no nudity is shown. They go from woman's naked back to head shots or pan away to the other person in bed. So there really is no justifiable way to explain the underwear in bed other than to say, "What the actual ****? This is stupid."

Cuz really it's the dumbest thing I've seen on TV in a while and it makes me roll my eyes every time I watch it.

It's BBCAmerica which is not the same as UK BBC. I remember there was a huge uproar after they edited the Naomi/Emily scenes as well. So they have a history of it. We'll see if anything changes next season. I highly doubt it but would welcome it, gladly.

danvers · 06-29-2013, 03:32 PM

see, like I said before, even ****ing glee did it better. with two characters that didn't even kiss, not even a peck. ****ING. GLEE. that pretty much ends the conversation.

omg. I was just sat here for ages trying to figure out what Brittana scene you were talking about when it clicked. Oh I have smh for that show and it's random hook ups. Really tho, it's embarrassing to think they did it with more realism considering there was no kissing or even touching between Di and Naya.

danvers · 06-29-2013, 04:16 PM

right? that **** was ****ing infuriating to me. I mean, can't show a same-sex sex scene? fine, but be ****ing realistic about it. this is the kind of **** that could give AE some food for thought. they pretty much got syfy to release a statement after they cut 2 seconds of lauren touching bo's arm in LG season 2.

I mean, come on.

*calms self*

PheeNiks · 06-29-2013, 04:38 PM

I watch Lost Girl on Showcase not SyFy, so do they show the full Doccubus love scenes like the Canadian channel does?

And I couldn't figure out the Glee scene you were referring to either cuz I haven't watch it since season 2 but then I remembered seeing a Quinn/Santana clip somewhere.

Well now I just feel insulted for Cosima and Delphine.

ugh.

And I don't think either of the actresses would have a problem with it. I mean, they're Canadian

Tatiana seems very pro-gay and has no problem with racy scenes. And Evelyne, well she tongued Tatiana during that kiss so...

yes. after AE ripped them apart for "censoring" a 2 second arm touch, they never dared to cut a single frame of another doccubus scene

I remember that uproar really fondly.

**majesdane** · 06-29-2013, 05:36 PM

I mean, yeah, it's cool that Santana and Quinn were naked in their (totally pointless, nothing but gross fanservice) sex scene, but honestly, like, I'd rather have a show have a legitimate lesbian couple with with no implied (or actual) nudity in their sex scenes ... Do I WANT awesome sex scenes? Yeah. But I mean, one implied nudity sex scene in Glee does not awesomeness make. At least the comparisons to Bo/Lauren are (somewhat) more legitimate.

(Disclaimer: I hate Glee! Oops.)

AE could probably help get C/D a legitimate sex scene at some point, but then they'd have to actually care, so yeah, don't see that happening.

Anyway, it's not like the sex scene ruined my enjoyment of the show. At least they HAD sex and were actually shown in bed together, unlike some couples I have enjoyed over the years ...

And like I said, they're a well-written couple, so. TPTB could obviously do better, but at least they're moving in the right direction.

(And no, I'm not excusing it.)

danvers · 06-29-2013, 05:50 PM

oh, absolutely. don't get me wrong, I also hate glee with the passion of a thousand burning suns. but that little showcase - fanservice or not - just goes to show how it was not about them being lazy or the scene presenting any kind of "technical" difficulties. it is the good old double standard and that is enough to piss me off.

sure, I would rather have an on going well written storyline with implied, horribly written "sex scenes" than have the opposite happen, but we can have both. they should be able to find a middle ground in season 2 (assuming they are going to have sex anytime soon).
