Also, the hostage-taker guy, I think the knife he uses is on mass drop. I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

The Company/Qreshi Nine only operate in this solar system but the RAC are everywhere in the galaxy.

We don't really know all that much about life outside the Quad, other than it exists and doesn't seem all that different since John and D'Avin grew up outside of there.

It was just "I'm level 6" <mic drop> roll credits. Presumably we'll find out later. And it's probably some god-like level of authority since level 5 is a license to kill.

My guess is it's just what they're already doing, but on a governmental/quad scale. loving around with killing and stealing and other stuff at the system level rather than at the planetary level.

I am expecting Dutch's training and enrolled as a Level 5 Killjoy without going through 1-4 first to be a prelude to her being the next level 6.

One thing I didn't see mentioned is this is all Johnny's fault. Khlyen said he resurfaced because Dutch took a Level 5 warrant which was his signal that she was ready. However, Johnny took the Level 5 warrant on Dutch's behalf to save D'Avin. The real question is, are these related? Was the kill warrant put on D'Avin to force Johnny to act (involving Dutch in a kill warrant) which would flush out Khlyen? Edit: There were also some real nice character moments in this. I liked Dutch's hesitation for stating a reason why they were at the RAC, she couldn't bring herself to say they were splitting the team up even if it was just to get them in there. D'Avin was taking a lot of personal risks to win trust back with the team as well. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Aug 17, 2015 |

I thought the kill warrant was unrelated, it was just supposed to stop D'Avin because he was getting too close to the doc who experimented on him.

That's all we know for now, but I can't imagine that D'Avin's story isn't related somehow. The nugget that Khlyne dropped about Dutch taking up a kill warrant as a signal that she was ready is too blatant to ignore. Dr. Jeager was a pawn in this as much as anyone and it may be that the Company agreed to put the kill warrant on D'Avin because it served their own purposes to flush out Khlyne and Red 17.

Continuum, which we sadly lose this fall. Defiance has actually got good. I was about to suggest Penny Dreadful, but that's just a really good adaptation of several 150-year-old IPs...

Canadian network Space and American network SyFy co-produce both shows, but Space runs point on Killjoys and SyFy on Dark Matter.

HUGE SPACEKABLOOIE posted:Thats my hope. God knows I want to like Dark Matter but it just isn't doing it for me. For me the point where decided against Dark Matter came in the ads it ran after the first episode. They'd end with Jodelle Ferland declaring "Because we're dangerous!" It's such a tell vs show moment. Killjoys showed me that John and Dutch were tough, smart, competent, dangerous people during its opening scene. Dutch is kind of scary because she looks like she's only playing tough. I could easily see her slipping into a criminal's party disguised as a stripper "RAC agent," saying something like "In the name of the RAC," shakes her boobs, "You are locked and served..." wink and sexy voice. At which point she playfully cuffs him and pulls him into another room. Then he's halfway to Westerly prison before he realizes that sexy fun times are not in the cars. Until he meets his new cellmate, anyway.

Despite the obvious budget constraints and the atrocious sets that often totally kill my immersion ...This show has me more hooked than any space sci-fi since Galactica/Firefly. It isn't great but I feel it's the best we've had in ages. Continuum of course is a better show but the setting is a bit different. I can't stand Dark Matter. Defiance and its first season at least is too grounded - literally - and kind of wacky for me to to enjoy it

Well, that was a hell of an ending, alright. I thought the inclusion of more of that original language was interesting, and it was nice that it was pretty clear what they were saying just through context. I wonder if it gets renewed, they're planning to take a page from Dominion's book and take advantage of David J Peterson's SyFy contracts to flesh that out for the second season. (That was an original language, right? It could absolutely have been an actual one without me realizing, but considering they ditched the alphabet for geometric shapes, dots, and dashes after the first episode, I'm making assumptions.)

I am bad at watching TV but the finale confused the hell out of me and I don't think I have time to watch it again. As I understand it, the lower classes who live on Westerly had a deal with the upper classes on Qresh that they could move to the middle class if they served them for seven generations. Seven generations later, Westerly wants to take it's place but the guys on Leith (the middle class) and some of the Qreshian families aren't happy about it. They put the thing to a vote instead of honouring the agreement which is why the riots start. I think that episode in the woods with the DNA bomb was a bunch of Leith guys worried about their lands getting stolen or something? Anyway Dutch and Johnny get sent to Qresh to protect the deal going down but it's really Khlyen trying to protect them from the bombing of Westerly. To summarize, at the end,
Was that the gist of it? I know show, not tell is great for story telling but there seems to be so many things going on that it's easy to miss out on all the details.
