Killjoys 1.03: The Harvest

[REBerg]

1.03 The Harvest
Another winner here.

I liked being taken even more deeply into the relationships among the components of the Quad -- primary planet Qresh, and its three moons, Westerly, Leith and Arkyn -- and the social status of their inhabitants.

I like the new character, Dr. Pawter. Despite her signature line -- "What's in it for me?" -- she obviously has a thing for helping others, as well as a "thing" for D'Avin. Good to see a romantic storyline developing, as John and Dutch seem to have an affectionate but platonic relationship.

I am wondering what kind of price Dutch can expect to pay by not carrying out her red box duty?

I like that KILLJOYS was created by a woman. That might explain why I like its vibe. Well, that and Aaron Ashmore - he's always been a likeable actor.

GAH! Yes, I meant WAYWARD PINES. *Brain turns to mush on Sundays*

Or perhaps, Wayward Matter? Dark Pines, maybe? Cough.

You laugh now. Just wait til you get Sunday Mush Brain Syndrome

Hey, that could be the name of a great new TV series. Coming this fall, Sunday Mush Brain Syndrome. New on Sci Fi. Let's hope you don't like it, or, you know, we'll cancel it.

I knew which show you meant.
If Sunday Mush Brain Syndrome gets a network green light, my normal mental state should make me a great candidate for a leading role in the cast.

Thanks for the 'cheat sheet' - useful. I think my problem with this episode was that there was too much exposition of the planetary geography and geopolitics and not enough story.

I liked this episode with both John and Dutch going undercover. It seems they really adore this role playing and have fun as reclamation agents. Johnny goes undercover as a field worker and Dutch as a Hokk distributor. Not many options for a more developed story.

On the other side, D'avin is close to become a Killjoys.
