KillJoys: Bringing the Fire

Bounty hunters in space. YES!

         SyFy is living up to expectations with it's space operas and sagas. Their newest success (at least in my opinion) is KillJoys. It's like Firefly and Nikita had a baby together and raised KillJoys. We got some space bounty hunters in a distant part of space (we're geek enough to know that this is far in the future) and a mystery femme fatale with kick ass moves but also has a heart of gold. 

I need a vacation

        We start out strong with Dutch (femme fatale with heart of gold played by Hannah John-Kamen) rescuing her platonic friend and partner John (Aaron Ashmore). It was quite a twist in that fight scene and we know right away who's top dog in this dynamic. I can't be the only one getting a Freudian vibe from that scene where Dutch was sporting a gun beneath her skirt that was on a mechanism making it rise. She certainly has a bigger piece between her legs than every guy in that room (more on Dutch's awesomeness later). The setting is very vibrant with a rich background of religion, politics, and everyday life in this universe. Was that Scar Back Priest being hung by hooks??? 

You caught me a little under dressed...

        Some curious characters with mysterious pasts. We have D'avin (I think that's how it's spelled; and played by Luke MacFarlane) who suffers from PTSD or "battle brain" who has gone off radar and only resurfaces when a kill order was put out on him. Johnny being a considerate brother decides to bend and break some RAC regulations and save him. Being grateful D'avin feels he needs to be a better brother and look out for Johnny and he's starting with finding out more about Dutch. His interest seems to be a mix between attraction as well as suspicion which is always a spicy combination to make any pairing hot. Needless to say D'avin will be sticking around to watch his brother's back... and Dutch's (for ambiguous purposes). Though so far we've seen Johnny is completely loyal to Dutch and it'll take more than his estranged brother's suspicions to convince him that Dutch is no good. 

I didn't even get to have some champagne

The cavalry has arrived

       The character that perhaps stood out the most to me was Dutch. She was the real star. Her most memorable fight scene was at the end. She walks in slow motion then lets loose her little spider bombs that were her necklace. Then she starts twirling around and kicking ass like a dangerous ballerina. While everyone compares KillJoys to Firefly I like to add Nikita because it seems that Dutch has had special training as a professional killer but then one day had enough and wanted to be free to live her own life. She's not exactly a freedom fighter but she doesn't take kill orders and minimizes damage when necessary. For me Dutch is the star as she seems to stand out most and is the most enigmatic character on the show. What was in that red box and who was that guy that's stalking her?

Summer is getting sexier

       I'm very excited for KillJoys. My summer is looking good so far.
