From Kelly Townsend of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys: Andrew De Angelis talks “O Mother, Where Art Thou”
“I think Dutch has always tried to find the path less complicated, which is one of the reasons she became a Killjoy: take no bribes, take no sides. Simple. But family, as we all know, is complicated. Dutch’s family, in particular, is a real mind-bender–Khlyen only speaks in stories, for crying out loud!” Continue reading.

Link: Hannah John-Kamen talks dual roles and love stories in Killjoys
“When I started creating Dutch, I was figuring who she was. When you play villainous roles, you have to play them as if they’re good, that what they’re doing is right and they have to do it. There’s an obligation to what they’re doing. Michelle [Lovretta] has this incredible ability to write complex characters There’s no such thing as good or evil. There are a gray areas.†Continue reading.
I have to say, I’m sad that Shaun Benson’s assassin character didn’t make it past last week’s episode of Killjoys. Alas, in the Quad everyone’s life is on the line. As we all well know. And with just a few more weeks until the Season 4 finale, there is still a lot of questions left unanswered.
That brings us to Friday’s instalment, “O Mother, Where Art Thou?” Here’s what Space has released as an official synopsis:
Team Awesome Force find themselves separated again, but this time by their own design. Or at least by D’avin’s who, for various reasons didn’t leave a forwarding address. But this time it’s different – Johnny and Dutch decide not to go looking for him, but rather to follow a lead hidden in a memory Khlyen altered in Dutch’s mind, which leads them to an unexpected past — the origins of Maylene, the assassin.
And here is some more information about the episode—written by Andrew De Angelis and directed by Michael Marshall—after watching a screener.
“Dickpunch!”
Have I mentioned how much I adore the language Killjoys gets away with? Johnny referring to D’avin’s “pants business” is laugh out loud funny. The writer’s room must be fun. I imagine it filled with laughter. And awesome snacks.
Flashback!
Surprising, and very, very cool. We get some key background into … well, you’ll see. It concerns some familiar faces and those who are more recent additions. Seriously, every time I think Killjoys can’t top itself it damn well does.
Pree!
Our favourite bar owner/warlord shines in every scene on Friday night, especially the first time we see him. Is it too late to request an online spinoff spotlighting he and Gared? And can Turin be a recurring character? Thanks.
Killjoys airs Fridays at 10 p.m ET on Space.

Link:Â Thom Allison talks about playing the chameleon Pree in KilljoysÂ
“Much of what happens in Season 4 involves The Lady and Pree ends up mixed up with Turin and the Armada and Zeph and getting information on what’s happening with her plan, which we don’t quite know just yet. [They form] a posse together, which was great fun.†Continue reading.

Link: Killjoys: Julie Puckrin talks “Baby, Face Killer”
“We talked a lot in the writing room about how parenting a child re-frames how you feel about your own parents, and how we unconsciously repeat things our parents did–and how easy it is for negative cycles to creep up on us.” Continue reading.

Link: Julie Puckrin talks Killjoys Season 4 and “Baby, Face Killerâ€
“The great thing about [doing 4 and 5 together] was that we knew the show was ending and could plan for that ending and have this continuity of thought and be aware as we were moving through 4 what we needed to set up for 5. We all knew each other really well and have a good shorthand so that worked out really well. It was a challenge, but we pulled it off. It’s amazing what you can do when you have to.†Continue reading.

Link: Why Killjoys’ stunt coordinator Alicia Turner says Hannah John-Kamen is “not the norm”
“Hannah was a dancer so we started off in the first season with Krav Maga, but she really took to it. Her choreography is insane, where you go through a fight three times and she then knows exactly where to be.” Continue reading.
