[initial reactions] Killjoys 5x01 - Run, Yala, Run

I love Michelle Lovretta.

And Killjoys is so underrated! I love the way the show mixed up the lives of everyone!

Dutch is married to Johnny and running a bar. D’avin is a Killjoy, Pree is a RAC officer. And Delle Seyah has Dutch’s assassin life!!!

I love it!

But also the pacing! At the end of the first act Dutch remembers who she is and tells Johnny (who doesn’t believe her, he nearly did back when Lucy spoke to him but he got washed by the rain).

And Oh Zeph, she has disjointed memories but the moment Dutch tells her that what she knows is true and she isn’t just crazy. The relief was amazing, I love how Dutch gives her comfort and reassures Zeph.

I really love how Lovretta writes relationships in this show. And Pree and Garret are still a thing except now it’s on the down low and the ANGST, amazing. Especially strange to see Pree so butch!

Awww Delle Seyah being motherly to Jaq.

Haha the dynamics are still similar though skewed different.

Haha Kendry kissed Dutch became she looked like Aneela. But also because she needed the DNA!!!

I love that Dutch and Zeph are partnered up here, and the way she uplifts Zeph.

Creepy kids as the Lady!

UGH. THIS SHOW IS SO UNDERRATED. THIS EPISODE IS SO GREAT.

Dutch is all alone! (Except for Zeph who is only operating in a limited way because of memory blockers).

Killjoys 5x01 - Run, Yala, Run

My non-spoiler-y thoughts: I loved this episode. It was an excellent start to the season and I’m very excited to see where things go from here. Spoilers under the cut.

-I loved how thirsty everyone was for Dutch in this episode because...relatable.

-The Kendry and Jaq mother-son team up: Excellent. Kendry in that outfit: yes please!

-I love that Zeph knows something is wrong even though she’s not awake yet and I loved all her scenes with Dutch. I did NOT love that she got shot, but I have faith that Dutch’ll get her fixed up.

-D’av and John just instantly annoying each other was perfect.

-Gared and Pree! Their secret romance is sweet, but also sad. Don’t deny your what’s in your hearts, guys. You know you belong together.

-So the Lady brought Khylen back with her from the green? How does that work? Is he no longer dead? Did the green revive him or is he a zombie now? I have a LOT of issues with Khylen, especially when it comes to his parenting, but I did enjoy him warning the Lady not to underestimate Dutch.

-No Aneela was disappointing but I didn’t expect to see her this early in the season. And I had a feeling the kiss from the trailer was actually going to be Kendry/Dutch and not Aneela/Kendry but I liked the reasoning for it. (Also, Dutch apparently calls her Kendry now, too? I dig it.)

Now onto the one disappointment I had with this episode:

-Dutch & Johnny. I had a feeling when the show introduced their “marriage” in the season 4 finale that it would go this way. They kissed and Dutch immediately knew something was wrong because their relationship isn’t romantic/sexual. 

To which I say: bullshit. No, their relationship has never been sexual. (And still isn’t, due to them fighting in the alt-verse. Which I’m happy about because it wouldn’t exactly be consensual what with them having false memories of their life together.) HOWEVER, their relationship IS romantic. There have been romantic undertones to their dynamic from the very beginning. (4x01 was basically dedicated to that side of their relationship. I mean, Johnny straight-up proposed at the end of that episode!) Yet now, it seems like the writers are telling us their love for one another is strictly platonic. And that’s just...not true. I’m fine with the show saying their relationship isn’t sexual but to imply it’s not romantic...is just wrong.

This will likely be addressed as the season unfolds and maybe it’ll end in a different way, but right now I’m disappointed with where the writers seem to be taking this storyline.

Killjoys Recap: "Run, Yala, Run" (5x01)

Catch up with our @Killjoys Recap: "Run, Yala, Run" (5x01)! #Killjoys

Picking up from where we last saw our heroes on Killjoys, “Run, Yala, Run” (5×01) gets us right in the heart of a very twisted and brainwashed version of Old Town, Westerley.  Johnny (Aaron Ashmore) is working in a factory with decontamination showers everywhere, but you don’t know exactly what’s going on in the factory.  He is married to Yala (Hannah John-Kamen) and she runs the Royale.  When D’…
