Vlessing, Etan (April 30, 2014). "Syfy to Co-Produce 'Killjoys' Drama With Canada's Space". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved April 19, 2015. ML: Yeah, it was an important moment to me. A lot of what I write ends up [being about] consent and agency. Those issues are really important to me and to my characters, so we would come at that from different vantage points throughout the season. But you have this one lead character that you're taking that journey with — Dutch. IGN: Would you have gone for longer had that been an option? Do you think that the story got told, or do you wish you had more seasons? Fitzgerald, D., and F. Callard. 2015.

Starting with the fourth season, Adam Barken became the showrunner of the series, with Michelle Lovretta remaining with the production as an executive producer and writer. [9] [10] [11] Broadcast [ edit ] Combines her signature humor—bitingly funny, in this case—with accessible language and theoretical discourse, making this title as appropriate for university courses as it is for self-identified "feminist killjoys," people who point out sexist comments or don’t laugh at offensive jokes… This book arms readers with a sense of vital energy, often lost due to burnout, compassion fatigue, and microaggressions. Audiences curious about navigating the intersection between feminism and daily life, intellectualism, poetry, and activism will love this title Emily Bowles, Library Journal Brown and red splotches. All over the place. Large accumulations of tau proteins. Tau was kind of like sludge, clogging up the works, killing cells in regions responsible for mood, emotions, and executive functioning. IGN: You had two seasons to plan the ending [after season three, Killjoys was renewed for two final seasons]. Is that something you lobbied for?

But the other part of storytelling is being open to change. So I saw that footprint and I saw the trajectory of getting us to that direction, but I didn't hold myself to it if it didn't feel like the appropriate payoff. I honestly didn't know until I was literally writing [the series finale]. I wrote maybe four different endings, just trying to sort of test them out with me and my team, to see what feels right. This was the one that felt the best. Sara Ahmed's Feminist Killjoy Handbook is not only a dazzling analysis of the workings of sexism, but a balm for the soul. Ahmed's insight that being a feminist is being a killjoy is as consoling as it is revelatory. It makes sense of the bad atmosphere, the uncomfortable feelings that swirl around feminism; it gives you ballast in the storm. Read it. Give it to everyone. It will teach you how to survive and how to transform the world Hannah Dawson It was really wonderful that they ended up being so fabulous to work with and [liked] working with each other. Like, Luke is so damn funny. And we didn't know that at first. But he just kept nailing the random occasional [comic] line we gave him. That was such a blessing, because we thought, "Oh, here's a new insight into what makes D’avin so lovable." He's self-aware. He's just the tiniest bit goofy, especially for a big, handsome man. He's really loving, and kind of soft. He's a bit vulnerable in ways that Dutch can see — in a good way. That’s my favorite part about writing television versus writing a movie or writing a novel — you have time to extract from these actors all these things that they can do. Oates, T.P. 2017.

The focus really is one the Girl and her coming into her own. One of the questions raised by the music videos is why the Killjoys were protecting her. It's something she's wondered herself. But she can find and forge her own path even as she discovers the answer to that question. It's paralleled by company-man Korse questioning the path that he's followed for so long. Fans never saw enforcers curled up in a ball on the hotel room floor. They didn’t see the food left on the plate during the pre-game meal. They didn’t know that the enforcer tried to take his mind off of the fight with an afternoon movie or a long walk, and later had no idea what he had seen or where he had been.

It is tempting to wring our hands about the lost century in which, it seems, better understanding and treatment of concussion were within reach. The contradiction at least begs the question of why the danger that was once known became unknown, or why knowledge of it didn’t pass beyond a small medical cadre and reach a tipping point of societal concern?Branch, J. 2015.

It’s a great premise, with some delightfully gritty and horrific artwork. But the story is just… disappointing.
