From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys: Bringing The Lady to life
Over the course of four seasons, Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) and Co. have been fighting some of the worst people and forces that the J had to throw at them. However, no one has quite measured up to the pure evil that is The Lady. Continue reading.Â
From Samuel Leighton-Dore of SBS Pride:
Link: Australian actor JayR Tinaco’s role in ‘Another Life’ helped them come out as non-binary
“It was so important to the creator, Aaron Martin, that Zayn’s identity was not be a topic of conversation or a story arch. The show takes place 50-70 years in the future, so he just believed that, like any cis-gender person, the LGBTQ+ identities would be free to exist without question or a second thought.” Continue reading.Â
From Heather M. of TV Goodness:
Link: Nikolijne Troubetzkoy talks Killjoys “Blame It on the Rainâ€
“I think that really helps build the innate familiarity you’re talking about and keep the ‘new’ versions of our characters feeling grounded. Dutch as a bartender? Johnny as an awesome father and a loving husband? It just kinda makes sense, doesn’t it?” Continue reading.Â
From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys: Nikolijne Troubetzkoy talks “Blame It on the Rainâ€
“To me, the underlying thematic questions we’re exploring with Killjoys have always been about family. Has this ragtag group of rebels and ruffians finally become one? Is it the family you choose or the family you were born with? Can you ever actually break away from the family you were born with?” Continue reading.
From Tony Wong of the Toronto Star:
Link: Canada’s film and TV workers launch political pressure campaign ahead of federal election
“As a filmmaker, I personally want to see Canadian creators continue to be able to tell stories in the digital age. The playing field is changing so quickly and so fast nothing is guaranteed and I want our elected officials to know that.†Continue reading.
I have been a fan of Kristin Kreuk since Smallville. You are a captivating actress, you make the fans feel your emotions, happiness, disappointments and you steal a scene with your appearance. I watched the final episode [of Burden of Truth] sitting in my chair waiting for your legal experience to free your sister. I was more than happy to see that there is a Season 3. Hopefully, there will be many, many, more seasons. The only issue I have I wish there were more episodes per season. Keep up the great work, you’re a professional and we can’t get enough of you. —Inez
Oh, [the cancellation of Canada’s Worst Driver is] sad, but it was a long run for this great show. I’ve learned things while laughing and cringing, wondering how some people could drive so badly. Thanks for 14 excellent seasons. I’ll keep watching the reruns. —Michelle
Oh no! It was a staple. A must! How can it be over? So many people have learned so much—like which cities not to drive in! It’s the only show I PVR. Discovery without Younghusband. Doesn’t seem realistic. Time to review my channel line-up. —Linda
Cab drama, money drama, EPs, penalty, and a good task mix (physical diving, detailed diamonds and mental maps). A little of everything. Trish and Amy twice ditched by a cab (poor planning on production’s part to leave people stranded outside after the dive) and two cabs stolen by Dave and Irina. That, plus the Express Pass Princess and Penalty make them the villains for sure, sorta rare for the Canadian Race. Leg design was a bit wonky, why have them leave Slave Lake only to go back? Multiple Express Passes gone in the same episode. This is the second or third season in a row this has happened. Teams just seem too eager to use them. At least one is still in play. Still no season of The Amazing Race Canada without at least one penalty. Lucky for Sarah and Sam about the geoscience building and the money thing, the latter of which reminded me of older The Amazing Race U.S. Strong episode even with the non-elimination. —DanAmazing
This episode was good TV. With Jet and Dave gone so early (still sad!!) the entertainment factor was sorely lacking in the next couple of episodes that followed. Love them or hate them, Dave and Irina provide another reason to watch TARC besides just the race, which can be boring some episodes by itself. The underwater dive looked like fun? OK not really (I can’t swim) but it was a refreshing idea. The staff at the geoscience building rocked!! Rooting for the moms and the twins and the athletes and the Edmonton married couple. Stay real and Go Teams Go!! —Tunie
