From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys’ score heightens our emotions and helps bring the drama
Make no mistake, music can totally change the game when it comes to a television series. When done right, a great score can heighten the drama, amp up the action and flood viewers with a rush of emotion towards the story being told on screen. From the very beginning, Killjoys has been one of the best shows on TV when it comes to using music to its benefit. Continue reading.
This is it, Killjoys fans. The final battle for the whole enchilada. The Season 3 finale, “Wargasm,” is upon us. Written by series creator Michelle Lovretta and directed by Stefan Pleszczynski, the episode wins top marks for the title alone.
Will Killjoys be renewed for a fourth go-round? While we wait to get an official word—what is taking so long??—here’s the episode synopsis via Space:
It’s go time. The Killjoy militia has gathered everything they need and are ready to go to war with Aneela and her Hullen using Delle Seyah as bait. But as the battle begins, Aneela changes the entire game.
And here are more non-spoiler teases after watching the episode.
Alvis has left the building
We had stuffed this bad news into a deep corner of our minds after it happened last week. The “previously on” recapped that awful moment once again. Can we get a slow clap for Morgan Kelly for his awesome portrayal of that lovable Scarback?
A final drink
This wicked-cool group shot has been online for a few days now and we love it. Google “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci and compare the two images. Who is The Savior? Who are their loyal followers? Who is the traitor? And who will be sacrificed for our sins? The sepia-toned scene of Dutch, D’Av and Johnny, surrounded by their faithful fighters, is wonderful and sad. And Dutch’s narration played over a montage of her memories, will have you reaching for the tissues. Also? Pree’s war paint is. Bad. Ass.
Zeph and Dutch have a moment
It’s during final prep for Dutch’s head-to-head to Aneela, and it’s tearfully touching.
Turin returns
With close to 10 minutes already elapsed in the episode—and as familiar faces congregated—I wondered if our favourite scratchy-voiced ginger would appear. He does, but can he be trusted by our heroes?
Aneela changes the entire game.
Indeed she does, and our trio don’t see it coming. I yelled “No!” out loud when I realized what was happening. Not good, folks. Not good. Michelle Lovretta promised a drag-em-out fight between Dutch and Aneela in the season finale and she wasn’t lying: it’s a showstopper. I can’t even imagine the prep work and coordination involved to make it look so seamless on TV. Kudos to the stunt crew, doubles and Hannah John-Kamen for some gripping fight footage.
The space battle is top-notch
I have no clue what the CGI budget is for Killjoys, but they must have gone way over with the battle footage. It’s fantastic.
The Killjoys season finale airs Friday at 8 p.m. ET on Space.

Link: Killjoys: Adam Barken talks “Reckoning Ball”
“I think my favorite scene is just her and Dutch in the cockpit. As powerful as Dutch is, Tara has to do everything without moving anything but her head. And she more than holds her own. That’s power.” Continue reading.
From Heather M. of TV Goodness:
Link: Michelle Lovretta Talks Killjoys Season 3, So Far
“That’s my favorite part about working in television, at least with the great rooms we’ve had on this show. Although Khlyen always had a daughter that looked identical to Dutch I’m not sure I originally planned to introduce her on camera, but I’m thrilled to have met Aneela and watch what great work Hannah John-Kamen has done with her.†Continue reading.
From John Baker of Three If By Space:
Link: Killjoys: Kelly McCormack Brings Zeph To Energetic Life
“The writers and I talked about her being in a place where she’s a loner, probably ex-communicated from her upbringing in a way that hasn’t been established yet. Science is everything she has, she can trust it. Science has her back. Anything in the interpersonal realm is not really her forte. How does she trust these people above something that’s been a close friend to her?” Continue reading.
