Fun new SyFy show about a trio of bounty hunters (Killjoys) in space. Below should clear up any questions you have (ripped from SyFy's website):Main Cast posted:Dutch Recurring Cast posted:Khylen quote:What’s great about science fiction is the rich mythology that takes you into a completely different, new, and exciting world. Killjoys, which premieres June 19 at 9/8c if you haven’t already set your DVR, has more world-building than Minecraft and Roller Coaster Tycoon combined. Don’t worry, the rollercoasters are along for the ride, except they’re of the emotional and action-based variety. ***Missed an Episode***?

Fun pilot. Reminiscent of Firefly a bit.

Didn't feel too strongly one way or the other. I'll give it a few more eps.

I liked it. The amount of exposition was insane, but that's to be expected. Definitely going to keep watching.

This is really goddamn fun. Not original in any way, but there's nothing new under the sun, and I'll take a well executed but unambitious science fiction show over a more ambitious one that can't even nail down the basic aspects for decent TV any day of the week.

I liked it even though from a production point view you can really tell it's a SyFy production. The setting feels like a weird mix of firefly combined with a corporate run future found in cyberpunk settings.

I'm liking this show much more than Dark Matter - it plays to it's strengths and isn't out of it's league. It'll be interesting to see where it goes. Getting a real Firefly vibe like others.

I enjoyed the pilot. The bits where it seems to be shaping up into "Dutch and D'avin hook up and John is a terrible third wheel"... I hope they do well instead of soapy and cringy. Definitely plan on watching more of this.

I'm wondering what's in the red box that Dutch got from her MurderDad. I hope it's a DVD of Gravity that he wants her to return to a Redbox.

Still watching the episode, but almost the first thing that hit me when it started was that the bounty hunter guy was cast because he resembles Chris Pratt, huh.

Okay, yeah, that was a much stronger start than Dark Matter. I'm in, I want to see what's up with Not-Chris-Pratt, Big Soldier Brother, and Mysterious Assassin Lady.

Definitely made me think of Firefly crossed with Lost Girl. Which is the sort of cheesy Syfy (well, SciFi) show I loved 10-15 years back. Nice summer evening watching.Jon Do posted:I enjoyed the pilot. The bits where it seems to be shaping up into "Dutch and D'avin hook up and John is a terrible third wheel"... I hope they do well instead of soapy and cringy. It seems like they're making John be a purely platonic friend which I hope they stick to. Although I think it's funny that the actor who plays D'avin is actually gay and he's the male lead getting all the sexual tension with Dutch.

This was pretty lovely, the lead actress is just terrible in every scene. I'm gonna give it three eps to hook me though.

I'm not sure about any of the main cast apart from Aaron Ashmore (Warehouse 13 love), but I'm intrigued by the setting.

I liked the female lead but her characterization was completely all over the place and it took me out of a show which had a poo poo budget and some tired looking visuals working against it to begin with. I'm going to give it a try for awhile but if this wasn't the summer I can't see how it would last a month.

Mars4523 posted:How so? Exactly. Dutch seemed to be a pretty by-the-numbers example of the Tough but Caring Partner/Boss with a Secret. Killjoys is clearly not a game-changer, but it's a pretty decent game-operator. I'm interested in John, Dutch and their universe, which a hell of a lot more than I can say about Dark Matter, which lost my interest after twenty minutes.

When she was off planet, in disguise she was a lethal bad-rear end who had tremendous poise. She teetered from being weak while poisoned (understandable) to slick while saving her colleagues, despite overcoming her setback.

I didn't think her fear about the kill order was about her so much as it was about conveying the problem. Like "Holy fuckballs, if Dutch is that spooked, they're all in the very deepest of poo poo."

I'm not sure what chat with the broker Snoopy is talking about, but the first one was more her being worried for John (who did a very dumb thing) rather than personal weakness on her part.

This is no Starhunter but I'll watch a few more episodes and see if the writers and actors can settle in and create more compelling narratives. It seemed really dark to me, like they're embarrassed about set design and kept the lighting low in every scene.

It's pretty dark, period (as in, we'll give this poor guy an emotional beat before cutting him apart to get to a package lodged in his guy. I'm really liking the core trio (plus Lucy). Good chemistry and just the right amount of humor and tension. That's a helluva conversation starter, Dutch.

Much better ep than the pilot. I do hope they resolve the PTSD flashbacks soon or it could be real annoying.

If they had Sigourney Weaver be the voice of the ship, I could pretend it's Noir Futurama. Also, this show is fun, but they must be operating with a really small budget. When they first got to the terrifying missile which "burns with the heat of the sun" I though it was a grapnel launcher or something. It did not look dangerous at all. Oh no, they have the missile codes! Missile is size of child's toy. I'm willing to accept destructive tech in the future is much more advanced, but they could have at least made it bigger than the shoulder mounted missile launcher which made them crash in the first place.

For some reason the biggest thing that bothers me about this show is that the ship looks way too small for 3 people to live on.
