“They’ve figured out a way for us to like unlikable people that don’t always do the right thing, but they do the thing that makes the most sense to them in them moment and because you can understand them and they justify it, you go with it. I think really great shows do that.” Continue reading.

Link: Wynonna Earp’s Tamara Duarte on Rosita’s complicated position and being the new kid
“Emily is so great at creating these three-dimensional characters that aren’t one thing. I think that’s why the show does so well is because it’s real and people connect with it. I felt like it was very much like Legally Blonde. I don’t think Rosita cares what other people think. Just like in Legally Blonde, it’s not something she cares if other people are aware or not, but she just stands strong and firm in who she is and her abilities.” Continue reading.
Last week on Killjoys, Aneela upped the ante in her upcoming battle between the Hullen and Dutch and #TeamAwesomeForce. Tara Spencer-Nairn brought a massive amount of creepy to a secondary storyline involving Fancy, and Aneela and Seyah Kendry shared a sultry smooch before Aneela destroyed the RAC stations. Yup, a lot went on last Friday night.
So, what goes on this Friday? As always, we were keen to find out, especially since Andrew De Angelis is the writer credited for “Necropolis Now,” with Samir Rehem directing. The pair teamed for De Angelis’ hilarious What Would Sal Do?—check it out on CraveTV—so I was interested in what the duo would do in the sci-fi realm.
“It was amazing,” De Angelis said during a one-on-one at the Toronto Screenwriting Conference earlier this year. “I was lucky to be able to watch two seasons of the show. It’s already so well-defined. When the relationships [between Dutch, Johnny and D’avin] are so well-defined, it’s not hard to write for them. The world is all there. We delve into some history and explore that.” Here’s what Space said with regard to an official synopsis for the instalment:
As John faces off with someone from his past, Dutch faces her own personal hell, trapped in a space elevator with a bunch of pompous Qreshis, who one by one, mysteriously begin to die.
And, as always, here are a few more tidbits to tide you over until Friday night.
Dutch fights her guilt
The deaths of the RAC members and being wrong about Banyon (and her death) are weighing heavily on Dutch when the episode begins. She’s trying her best to forget it all with the help of a bottle and D’avin is there to talk. But will she listen? D’avin is certainly known for his comic timing, but he can be serious too; that’s evident in a couple of key scenes.
Zeph!
She’s back and shares information on what’s inside the Remnant.
Alvis has re-entered the building
It feels like we haven’t seen Alvis since Episode 1 of this season—and a quick peek at IMDB—confirms it. But the monk with the startlingly chiselled abs chimes in as part of a juicy murder mystery storyline that pulls in Dutch and the Jaqobis brothers.
Louella Simms makes an appearance
With the RAC wiped out, Dutch et. al need more fighters and firepower. Cue Louella Simms (Kimberley-Sue Murray), Pawter’s sister. Now, if only Johnny can win her—and the Nine families—over and score the support they need.
Gander fights back
After being a whipping boy ever since Seyah Kendry awakened, Gander makes a strategic move against the ladies and a stunning revelation about Aneela comes to light. Samir Rehem’s direction brings a unique and effective look to a pair of scenes involving Aneela. You’ll know them when you see them.
Killjoys airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Space.

Link: Wynonna Earp: Emily Andras talks “No Future in the Past”
“The fact that Nicole lied to Waverly was ten times worse on some level. I think at the end when Waverly is looking over the test, looking over the ice and remembering the true circumstances of who saved her that day, she is starting to put some threads together in her heart too.” Continue reading.
From Dalene Rovenstine of Entertainment Weekly:
Link: Did Wynonna Earp just time travel?
“In non-science terms, no, Wynonna did not technically time-travel. She went on a vision quest to the past, i.e. her spirit was able to see echoes of what had come before via astral projection while her corporeal body remained in the present. Man, that might be complete B.S., but I’m stoked I got to drop “corporeal†in a recap.” Continue reading.

“I think genre, as a rule, is really inclusive. Since the time of Star Trek, certainly hopeful genre portrays a world that we want to live in, one that celebrates diversity and equality. So, I almost think it’s easier in genre to comment on that stuff. And, really, I didn’t pull any punches. When I pitched the show, I was like, ‘I want to do a Western but with all the traditional male characters as women.’ I don’t feel like I’ve tricked anybody.” Continue reading.Â
From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys: Michelle Lovretta talks “Attack the Rack”
“Some of the very real aspects of our larger fight this year are the number of unexpected setbacks our team encounters along the way… and how determined and freaking wily they are about getting past them. It’s not credible to think that a small madcap group of space pirates can take on such a force without any hitches, but it also wouldn’t be fun, and you know how much I prioritize fun. This may be war, but we aim to enjoy the hell out of every step.” Continue reading.
