File talk:Lost Girl seasons 5 and 6 Blu-ray cover.jpg
"Season 6" on cover is a packaging design error
edit
Season 5 of Lost Girl was divided into two parts: Part 1 = episodes 1 through 8, and Part 2 = episodes 9 through 16. Showcase is the original network and it advertised and broadcast the two halves as all of it being Season 5. There was NO Season 6.
The North American (Canada and USA) DVD/Blu-ray package design by Giant Ape Media was printed "Lost Girl: The Final Chapters. Seasons Five & Six". However, the final season Lost Girl DVD/Blu-ray for the United Kingdom is packaged as "The Complete Final Season". The DVD/Blu-ray for Australia is packaged as "The Complete Fifth Season".
These are the official announcements about Season 5 of Lost Girl by Showcase/Shaw Media:
- SHOWCASE ANNOUNCES THE EPIC FINAL SEASON OF LOST GIRL (Press Release)
- "Showcase supersized the original 13-episode order to 16 final episodes bringing the series to a thrilling conclusion. The season is split into two heart-stopping parts, with the first eight episodes airing Sundays...."

- SHOWCASE ANNOUNCES WINTER 2015 SCHEDULE (Press Release)
- Lost Girl's Mid-Season Finale Airs January 25
- "the first half of Lost Girl's epic final season continues in January with new episodes, including the mid-season finale onSunday, January 25, at 9pm ET/PT. Sexy succubus Bo's story will wrap up later in 2015 when the second half of Lost Girl season five returns to Showcase."

It would be incorrect and misleading to allow the packaging of a DVD/Blu-ray to determine how the season itself was advertised, broadcast, and recognized. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 21:11, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
