Killjoys caps a strong first season with a rushed, yet rewarding season finale.
It would have been nice to see whatKilljoyscould have done with a two-part season finale.
That is the true heart of this show.
But Im getting ahead of myself.
The Nine are the worst.
Delle Seyah used the genetic bomb first seen inOne Bloodto take out a competing family.
Earlier in the season, the story of Delle Seyahs coup would have taken up an entire episode.
Here, it is delegated to a mere act.
If you want a shorter story, go to the movies.
Serialized TV needs time to develop, especially when building an entire world likeKilljoysis.
Thats not to say there wasnt some great stuff in this episode.
Seemingly every scene in tonights episode was a callback to something that had come before.
Seemingly every minor character who has popped up over the course of the season was in tonights episode.
Where theKilljoysseason finale truly struggled was in its attempts to balance The Quads political storyline with questions about Khlyen.
While the two are obviously intertwined, not enough was done here to sell that connection.
And can we talk about the mess Davin is in?
Will Davin be programmed to become some kind of super soldier again?
Will Dutch and John find him in time?
Weve spent relatively little time in this new fictional universe, but it already feels familiar.
