So glad to be right about Khlyen and his relationship to Dutch. Can't wait to see what she does when she finds out. But then it brings up all kinds of plotlines regarding her backstory and just how much she actually knows about her own history and in this case doesn't know. Maybe we'll find out about her mother.

Hate it so when they jump time between seasons. Love it that Killjoys didn't.

I can't believe I'm actually interested in Pree's "prior" life. There's so much there to be explored. He was just a prop last season. Now I can see him becoming a much more important part of the team.

I hated what happened to Fancy. He grew on me. But I see him being what Khlyen wanted D'Avin to be. My guess is that Fancy is now Khlyen's bodyguard. And D'Avin was to be Dutch's. We do know some of what happened to D'Avin stuck, we just don't know how much.

Speaking of D'Avin, just how much does he know about Dutch's history? Is he back on Lucy? Can Dutch now trust him and should she even less now?

Aside from that horrible opening credits thing that makes my head hurt, I was very happy with the show last night.

I'm just glad that Fancy is still around. When we saw him in the season 1 finale I was afraid that he was being killed off! But now it looks like he is going to be sidekicking for Khlyen, which actually has some awesome possibilities! He grew on me too. (:

I really liked Pree in the first season, he did a lot with the little screen time that he got last year. I'm happy to see his role is being expanded this season. Kudos to Thom Allison, he just seems to swan through his scenes and he has really made Pree a captivating presence.

I don't see Dutch being able to accept that Khlyen was protecting her all along, not for a while anyway. So that is sure to be an interesting dynamic this season. I can't wait! That back story of her and Khlyen and wherever it is that they are from is certainly promising. It is just such a shame that we only get a short season of 10 episodes to see the story develop!

Yes, sidekicking for Khlyen is a better way of putting it. Hard to believe Fancy as bodyguarding anyone especially Khlyen. I'm just so glad we didn't lose him as you are. He is such a cool character.

Pree just didn't do anything for me last season. Him behind the bar limited his appeal too much. But now I can't wait to see his story almost as much as Dutch and Khlyen's backstory.

And I do have to agree. Dutch is not going to be keen on Khlyen being her father at all. I'm not sure how her not already knowing this is going to play out. D'Avin sure did have problems even approaching the subject of Khlyen with her at all. I'm with you, Dutch believing he was protecting her all along and not stalking her will definitely be an uphill battle. Will D'Avin be willing to risk his relationship with Dutch and John to plead Khlyen's case? I'm not sure he will.

Ten episodes can be a blessing or a curse but with Killjoys it just means every episode is going to be jam packed and that's always a good thing.

Amen.

Double Amen!

I do enjoy the continuity of the series, all of the episodes are relevant to the whole.

I especially liked how they introduced the concept of Level 6 as a joke during the black warrant meeting. "Dude, there is no such thing as Level 6. Your soul has no poetry man!" And then a few episodes later, "oh look Level 6 is totally a thing."

So from that point of view, 10 episodes is acceptable to keep the narrative tight. I just live in fear of an early cancellation, I like to have as long a season as possible in case somebody at SyFy makes the wrong choice in renewal season!

I can't see Dutch listening to D'Avin about Khlyen at this point, and I think she is mostly justified on that. D'Avin shared like 2 conversations and one memory with the guy and she put in probably 15 years with the him (assuming she is supposed to be about mid 20's). I can see why she thinks she knows everything there is to know about him and his motivations.

I think it will take some overwhelming proof for her to change her mind. Or an encounter with whatever BigBad just had Khlyen tasered and then stuffed in an intergalactic box. (:

Pree is a poor man's Job.

Everyone is a poor man's Job! Nobody will ever be as perfect as Hoon Lee was in that roll!

Too bad he won't get his own spin-off. ):
