Killjoys: We see a scary side to Aneela

Hells yeah, Killjoys is kicking some serious ass in Season 3. From deadly Hackmods to waging war against Aneela, we’ve loved every damn second we’ve seen. The fun continues on Friday in “The Hullen Have Eyes,” written by Adam Barken and directed by Ruba Nadda. It features a rollicking ride to a planet with a strange history, Johnny and Zeph—read our interview with Kelly McCormack—butting heads and a peek at what’s going on with Aneela.

Here’s what Space says about this week’s episode:

The Killjoys trace the last coordinates of a Black Root ship to a radiation scorched planet. The planet is home to an abandoned Hullen training camp, creepy inhabitants, and a surprising connection to their past.

And here are some fun tidbits we can add after watching a screener.

Aneela unhinged
We watched Aneela dump goo into Delle Seyah Kendry and bring her back to life. Barken’s script shows how far Aneela has gotten with regard to her war preparations … and how it’s best to run when Aneela gets angry. We also get our first gander at Ted Atherton as Gander, who reports to Aneela.

Speaking of Aneela…
Hannah John-Kamen is putting on an acting clinic with her portrayal of Aneela. She may look like Dutch, but her body language, accent and personality are totally unique.

Xeph + Johnny = plenty of laughs
There is a lot of creepiness to go around in Friday’s episode (what’s under that girl’s hood is going to give us nightmares), so the shenanigans between Zeph and Johnny are most welcome. He’s not happy she’s part of the team and she’s just trying to do her job.

Aidan Devine guest stars
The “that guy” of Canadian television appears in a memorable role. His character has got some unpleasant plans for our heroes … will he succeed?

Killjoys airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on Space.

From Alexis Gunderson of Paste:

Link: On Syfy, the Revolution of Leading Ladies Is Already Being Televised
From Wynonna, Waverly and Officer Haught on Wynonna Earp to Dutch, Pawter and Clara on Killjoys to Two, Five, Android, Nyx, Misaki, Sarah and Solara on Dark Matter, Syfy has spent the last several summers demonstrating week after sweltering week that by transforming femininity into narrative power, and then placing that narrative power squarely in the hands of multiple, wildly different leading ladies, a whole metric ton of compelling stories can be told—stories in which boobs (begging zero pardon for this pun, as Wynonna would never forgive me if I did) are just the tips of a complexly feminine iceberg.

From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:

Link: Dark Matter: Joseph Mallozzi talks “One More Card to Play”
“It’s always so tough when you’re coming up with those twists and turns. It reminds me a bit of an episode of Stargate SG-1 called “Ripple Effect” where there was a twist I wanted to do at the end, but I didn’t know what the twist was until I actually sat down and wrote it. Then I got to the twist and I thought, “this is what I’ll do” and it worked out. It was one of those rare instances where it worked out. With this one, it was packed full of fun little twists.” Continue reading.
