From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:
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
From Morgan Glennon of Buddy TV:
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.
From Kat Jetson of The Hollywood Reporter:
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.
From Heather M. of TV Goodness:
Link: Thom Allison Talks About Killjoys “The Lion, The Witch, and The Warlordâ€
“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.
Man, did I love last week’s episode of Killjoys, “The Lion, the Witch and the Warlord.” Getting a chance to delve into Pree’s back story was a particular treat, as was the unending back and forth between Zeph and Johnny. Speaking of Zeph, she’d managed to open the Remnant, but closed it back up without telling anyone. Why would she do that if she’s such a devoted member of this team?
Perhaps Zeph’s actions will be explained in Friday’s episode, “Attack the Rack,” written by Shernold Edwards and directed by Jeff Renfroe. Here’s the official plot synopsis via Space:
The Killjoy rebels take drastic measures to clean house: a secret ops attack against their own RAC. Thanks to Aneela’s schemes and a mole among them, not everyone will make it out alive.
And, as always, more info from us after watching a screener.
Corner Gas‘ Tara Spencer-Nairn guest stars
We’ve seen Spencer-Nairn do comedy on Corner Gas and drama on Saving Hope. How does she do in the sci-fi realm? Swimmingly. She portrays a woman with a deep history and an uncanny way of healing from wounds. Thanks to her, Dutch and Turin devise a way to distinguish good guys from bad. Also appearing this week: Rookie Blue‘s Noam Jenkins in a devious role, and Pure‘s Gord Rand as a snide asshole. (Oh, how I miss Pure.)
Erik Knudsen returns!
Yup, he does. He, Dutch and D’avin are locked and loaded and going … somewhere. He may not have made the A-team but Knudsen’s McAvoy makes up some deeply important RAC backup. Speaking of returning folks, Fancy makes an appearance too. We’ve missed his face … and sarcasm. Fancy has a bit of a sit down with Spencer-Nairn’s character, and it’s something to behold.
Professional etiquette is key
Turns out there IS a bad time to bust in on someone you’re tracking. Thanks to D’avin, we find out when that is.
Aneela is still scary
Back when I saw Episode 1 of Season 1, I likened Killjoys to Star Wars in its tone and look. Something Aneela does during Friday’s episode certainly hearkens back to a key Star Wars villain’s abilities. I got chills. (There are actually two Star Wars references I picked up on.) And the budding relationship between Aneela and Delle Seyah Kendry blossoms more this week. I was a little wary of the pairing, but I’m all in now.
Killjoys airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on Space.
