#4.10: Sporemageddon

Killjoys 4 x 10 “Sporemageddon”

OMG, what a mind-fuckery was this?! But well worth it.

So, the rescued kids were carrying a virus, infecting everyone they came in contact with. Qresh eould be happy to wipe the entire Westerly from the existence to stop it from spreading, but Turin managed to convince them to hold off until Zeph found the cure. Alas, when cured, people lost their memories. Courtesy of the Lady, because memory is how she controls people.

(And, apparently, memory and imagination are something the Lady’s race don’t possess, hence her obsession and stealing.)

Meanwhile, Aneela took D’avin and Johnny into the green – but D’avin left the spores-weapon with Turin as insurance.

The plan was for D’avin to incapacitate the Lady long enough that they all got out and then destroyed the green with the Lady in it.

It didn’t quite work out, with the Lady making Aneela offers of having her family back – and I would have been so pissed if Aneela had fallen for it and betrayed them, but she didn’t.

Instead she stalled the Lady by faking accepting her offer to give Dutch the opportunity to get the spores from Yalena again – because the green is a universal hold of all memory so inside it you can recreate any memory – and I loved how it worked into Dutch being Aneela’s family, OMG.

So, Dutch destroyed the green from within.

But unfortunately, the Lady overpowered Aneela and assumed her image, tricking the trio and getting out of the green before it died.

And then everyone woke up in a weird alternative world where they are ‘owned’ by the Lady (as per her own words), Johnny and Dutch are married (LOL) and apparently have a kid (?), they don’t know D’avin, Turin is a beggar (?), and Gared fights with Johnny in (illegal, I assume) fights. I think.

Fascinating.

Anyway, I guess the next season our heroes will figure out there is something majorly wrong with their alt-lives and find a way to get out of the Lady’s clutches.

And I really hope Aneela is alive and didn’t die with the green. Maybe since the Lady got out and as it appears now controls everyone’s memories, like herself being a kind of universal memory, Aneela is somewhere there, too, and can be brought back as well.

(Who’d think a season ago, I’d grow so attached to Aneela.)

Or maybe Aneela will be the one to save them or at least start the process – it could be a nice way to fully redeem her (they began this season, but for a lot of people, like Pree and Turin, she would have to do a lot more to get there, I guess.)

Anyway, looking forward to the great finish. Although this is going to be a loooong wait for the next year.
