Link: Dark Matter: Joseph Mallozzi talks “Isn’t That a Paradox?”
“I don’t know what it is about the comedy. I don’t know if I could write a comedy, but I enjoy writing comic episodes within a non-comic series. It’s just fun putting characters in those situations. As I mentioned, it was an episode I had to write because the planned episode was not going to fly, but it came easily enough.” Continue reading.Â

Link:Â How Wynonna Earp Became One of the Most Feminist Sci-Fi Shows on TV
Midway through its second season, Wynonna Earp is tackling a storyline that action-based series – let alone any based on comic books – rarely showcase: the titular heroine getting pregnant, dealing with it, and still kicking butt. Now, showrunner and executive producer Andras discusses the series’ feminist leanings. Continue reading.Â

Link: ‘Wynonna Earp’ Interviews: Melanie Scrofano and Emily Andras Talk Creating a Pregnant Heroine
“We see a woman that’s like, ‘Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do. I will let you know what I can and can’t do. I think you get to see that from me, Melanie, but also from Wynonna. She’s like ‘I will tell you when I’m done, don’t take this away from me. I’ve got this.'” Continue reading.

Link: ‘Wynonna Earp’ Season 2: Dominique Provost-Chalkley and Katherine Barrell Talk Wayhaught and the Baby
“I think definitely with the addition of our new Earper baby on the way, things are just getting a lot more dangerous. I think there’s a sense among all the characters that the stakes got so high so fast, especially now that we all know. So, there’s this sense of when you’re caring for yourself and grownups it’s one thing, but when you’re caring for an unborn child and the safety of that child it’s another. I feel like the last final half of the second season just got super high stakes, super dangerous and everyone’s kind of on hyper hyper alert.†Continue reading.

Link: How Syfy’s ‘Wynonna Earp’ Is Paying Homage to ‘Buffy’
When I was pitching Wynonna Earp I said that it was Buffy meets Justified. I truly believe Buffy is the beloved cult hit because it deserves to be. It speaks volumes that 20 years have gone by and we’re still talking about that show. People see it for what it was, which is groundbreaking. I can’t even pretend that Buffy didn’t influence me, but I don’t want to say Wynonna is derivative. I hope it’s not. Joss really taught me what an action heroine could be, which is a completely three-dimensional girl or woman with all those complications who can also kick butt. Continue reading.Â
From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys’ Mayko Nguyen on what makes Delle Seyah the perfect ally for Aneela
” I think Aneela has been alone a lot of her life, and as much as she’s got this insanity about her, she’s very vulnerable and I think a bit lost. From Delle Seyah’s vantage point Aneela’s very lonely and, while she has people around her, they are all her minions, and she has no one she can be friends with. Delle Seyah is a bit more on her level and my guess is that she just needs a friend. Delle Seyah is somebody who is a similar creature.” Continue reading.
There’s no denying it; this week’s new episode of Orphan Black is huge. In fact, BBC America chose not to run a normal promo after last week’s episode ended with Rachel betraying P.T. Westmorland and plucking her eye out. Instead, the network ran a clipless teaser that told viewers the new instalment is “so hard-hitting, so intense, so shocking, so electrifying, so transfixing, so thrilling, so riveting, so suspenseful, so astonishing, so agonizing . . . we can’t show you anything.” Luckily, Space wasn’t quite so stingy and ran a trailer that showed (among other things) Felix having an art show and Rachel receiving medical care.
Here’s what Bell Media teased about “Guillotines Decide,” written by Aisha Porter-Christie and Graeme Manson and directed by Aaron Morton:
Mrs. S orders the sisters to take a night off from their sleuthing to celebrate Felix’s art opening. Wounded and desperate, Rachel reunites with an old ally, but their plans for revenge on Neolution put Clone Club in the line of fire.
And here are some carefully selected morsels from the screener.
Major fallout from Rachel’s eye-gouging betrayal of Neolution
Who can she trust? And, more importantly, who can trust her?
Felix is back
We’ve been suffering from Felix withdrawal the last few episodes, so it’s great to see him return from Switzerland with Adele and throw a big shindig that includes most of our beloved Clone Club family members as guests. Speaking of Adele, a tip of the hat to the wonderful Lauren Hammersley for her warm, funny performance as Felix’s tipple-loving half-sister. We wish she would have pub-crawled into more episodes over the years.
Was that Felix’s morgue attendant ex-beau Colin in the Space promo?
What? Could Orphan Black end up with two happy and remarkably alive LGBT couples by the time the final curtain drops? We’ve got our fingers crossed.
Cophine forecast
Clear skies and calm waters with a 100% chance of the feels. But what is Delphine up to with Mrs. S?
Wait, what about Helena, Mark, Gracie and Coady?
Gulp.
Four hanky alert
Remember that BBC America promo? Yeah, they weren’t lying. Stock up on tissues, booze, chocolate, cat videos—whatever you need.
Orphan Black airs Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Space.

“When I actually read it, I was absolutely delighted. As you saw [watching it], reading it was surprise after surprise after surprise. It’s lovely and amazing of them to think of Pree and give him his moment. It was an embarrassment of riches.†Continue reading.
