From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:
Link: Killjoys’ Aaron Ashmore promises a darker John Jaqobis in Season 3
“I think a little of John’s shine has worn off this year. He still has his sense of humor and is still John, but there’s just a little bit of a darker element to him. Hopefully that plays because you go through all these traumatic experiences and it only makes sense they’ll screw you up a little bit.” Continue reading.Â
Mediocrity is usually the engine that runs bad decisions. We promote and put American shows on a pedestal while looking for a reason to cast away Canadian content. [You Gotta Eat Here!] was a show that many Canadians looked forward to on Friday nights for not only entertainment but to showcase hidden gems to check out for eats in rural locations. Bad choice by Corus Entertainment executives! Shame on you! —Joe
So sad to see this show being cancelled. Hope they rethink this! —Wilma
Let’s face it, folks. the Food Network sucks! They are more interested in showing reality game shows! —Joe
What a shame!!!! The best food show around. So many professional, high-intensity cooking shows available that are hard to watch. It sounds like you might lose a great number of Food Network customers. Rethink. —Victoria

Link: Wynonna Earp’s Dominique Provost-Chalkley on stepping up to the many challenges of Season 2
“The main challenge was actually not to have too much fun with it and for it to become too much like a caricature. I wanted to make sure I didn’t play a cliché and that it was a subtle progression. As we all know there is no one I trust more than Emily [Andras], so I asked her to watch the dailies to keep an eye on it.” Continue reading.Â
From Jennifer Still of Vanity Fair:
Link: Wynonna Earp is TV’s most ridiculous show—and knows it
Good TV has never been easier to find, but it’s still sometimes nice to enjoy a series you know you really shouldn’t. Syfy’s new supernatural series Wynonna Earp isn’t just a guilty pleasure—it goes above and beyond into “so intentionally bad it’s good†territory, like no other series on television right now. Continue reading.
From Alex Cranz of io9:
Link: Why are we not talking about how much fun Wynonna Earp is?
Back for its second season, Wynnona Earp is loaded with wise-cracking assholes who fight demon monsters. If Buffy were set in the frigid tundra of Canada and not on a constant quest to explore the crisis of teenage femininity it might be Wynonna Earp. Continue reading.
From Jeff Fountain of Geek Chic Elite:
Link: Interview: Anthony Lemke
“My character clearly falls down on one side and is becoming a better person but he still is unpredictable, you don’t always know how he’s going to react and that is the essence of this character and I really hope that line is walked for the entire longevity of this series because then it ends up being fun to play, fun to watch and probably fun to write, too.” Continue reading.Â
