Link: Tamsen McDonough talks Killjoys Season 5
“I think she goes through these ups and downs of understanding humans a little better and then they do something else that she doesn’t get. I like the waves she goes through, but she is always clear that Johnny is who she is crazy about and who she will do anything for while having to maintain the structures placed within her that she can’t break from.” Continue reading.Â

Link: Vivian Lin and Derek Robertson talk Killjoys “Three Killjoys and a Ladyâ€
“Two parallel things came together. The first idea was a homage of doing our version of The Thing and what that would be—being paranoid and not trusting each other and our team turning against each other. That was a floating idea for a while.” Continue reading.

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

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.
If you missed last Friday’s Season 5 premiere of Killjoys, go back and watch it. I’ll wait. OK, all caught up? Wow, right? My thoughts exactly. Opening with our faves all caught in The Lady’s memory matrix was an amazing twist to kick off this final run of episodes and served as a reminder of why I’ve loved Killjoys since Day 1, and why shows like it are successful: create characters that you care about and throw them into (sometimes) batshit situations.
Episode 2, debuting Friday, is called “Blame It on the Rain,” and if you don’t have the Milli Vanilli song stuck in your head right now I’m disappointed. Mainly because it means you’re young, and I’m old. Anyway, here’s the official synopsis for the instalment, written by Nikolijne Troubetzkoy and directed by Peter Stebbings.
Awake from the memory matrix, Dutch is determined to wake her friends and stop the Lady, before it’s too late.
And here are more treats I caught watching the episode.
Is Zeph dead?
I sure hope not, but the wound she sustained last week sure looked serious. Dutch is going to rely on an old friend—who has a sweet new hairdo—for help in saving her. Zeph can’t die, because she’s the only one who can stop the pesky rain from keeping everyone stuck in the matrix.
Pree is on the hunt
First of all, how much are you enjoying Pree’s new look? (Follow Thom Allison to learn some insight into it.) Secondly, he’s not letting up in his search for Dutch, especially with a Warrant 5 on her head.
Khlyen vs. The Lady
I love seeing Khlyen go head-to-head with anybody and he has a wonderful history of doing it. And his tête-à -têtes with The Lady have been truly compelling; their verbal volleys have been wonderful. But The Lady delivers an overhand smash that leaves Khlyen speechless. Also? We learn there is a finite number of days until the terraforming is complete, rendering all breathable air, well, not.
Welcome back, Fancy
I was wondering when Fancy would waltz back into our lives. He does it on Friday, and his opening lines are hilarious.
Killjoys airs Fridays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Space.
