Link: Killjoys: Julian Doucet talks “The Lion, the Witch and the Warlord”

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Killjoys: Julian Doucet talks “The Lion, the Witch and the Warlord”
“I think a third season does allow you to take the time for a “detour” episode like this. The audience knows the game and is ready for the expansion packs; the actors are hungry to take their characters to new places; the writers know how to write to the actors’ strengths and how to shade the colors in more inventive ways. That being said, part of the struggle with Killjoys is we’re always trying to cram a regular thirteen-episode season into ten episodes. So even if we get to take a delicious road trip into Pree’s backstory, it still has to serve the greater arc of the season. It still has to pay off what we’ve set in motion. As Pree would say, there are no free rides in Killjoys. Except maybe Johnny. But that’s between him and the Sexers.” Continue reading.

“There’s disagreements. They’re very different people. They look at the world in very different ways but they love each other and respect each other so much that they work through the stuff and I think that’s a realistic relationship and that’s a good friendship. You’re not always going to agree with your friends or family. You work through it and talk about it, and then you move on. There’s still that level of love and respect at the end of the day.” Continue reading.

“Obviously, the Wynonna/Waverly sister relationship is the core of the show. But sometimes there are things Wynonna might want to talk about with someone who isn’t her sister. Maybe there are things she’s ashamed of having done that she can’t admit to Waverly, who is as tied up in the Earp curse as Wynonna is.” Continue reading.

Orphan Black 507: Rachel questions her place in Neolution

Orphan Black‘s final season has been a strong one, filled with startling revelations, shocking deaths and deep dives into the inner lives of the Leda clones, but this week’s new episode—which puts Rachel under the microscope—is easily the best of the season so far. It’s an intense character study from the teaser on, and it genuinely keeps you guessing right up to its stunning, but fully earned, conclusion.

Here’s what Bell Media teased about “Gag or Throttle,” written by Renée St. Cyr and directed by David Frazee.

As P.T. Westmorland demands a more aggressive approach with Kira, Rachel discovers a dark secret that makes her question her place within Neolution. Sarah fights to save her daughter.

And here’s what we can hint about the episode.

Kira becomes a lab rat
With Susan out of the way, Westmorland and Coady push for more invasive procedures to be used on Kira—which forces Rachel to face some uncomfortable truths about Neolution.

Just who is P.T. Westmorland?
Last week, it was revealed that P.T. is a fraud, and this week Cosima digs further into his past.

Auld lang syne
Season 5 has seen a lot of old friends and foes return both via flashback and plot twists, and this instalment is no different. Count on seeing at least three familiar faces pop up.

New wig alert
Expect more than one character to sport a new (or old) ‘do.

New music alert
There is a new musical cue near the end of the episode that truly elevates the drama. Writer Renée St. Cyr tells us this very deliberate musical choice came courtesy of director David Frazee. (Look for my chat with Renée after Saturday’s broadcast.)

Whoa!
That’s about all we can say about the ending.

Orphan Black airs Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Space.

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

“I had to read it in sections because I had to walk away and walk around the apartment because I was so excited about what was happening. To see it unfold and be so much more than I imagined, with surprises and entrees into parts of his life you’ve not thought about, was just so exciting.” Continue reading.
