Syfy’s reputation for cancelling shows is wildly exaggerated. Most Syfy shows run for at least four seasons, which is more than you can say for most genre shows on other networks. Look at HAVEN, EUREKA, WAREHOUSE 13, BEING HUMAN, BITTEN, LOST GIRL, etc.

So assuming a second season for KILLJOYS doesn’t seen…

The phrasing was ambiguous. He said he “tried” killing the husband, which could mean that he didn’t succeed for some reason.

It wasn’t confirmed that the husband is dead or even an ex-. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we got that “you know our history” line in the same ep that revealed that Dutch used to have a husband . . . .

That’s not how I read it. He said he “tried” to kill the husband, but maybe he failed.

Honestly, nobody on the show makes a big deal about the fact that “Gosh, the chick is in charge!” That just happens to be the situation on this particular show—and why shouldn’t it be? On any show, the odds are 50/50 that the leader will be a woman, assuming you don’t automatically default to putting the guy in charge.

I like how this show gradually slid in its world-building over the course of the first season, so that by the time shit finally hits the fan, we have a pretty good idea who the players are, what the politics are, etc. Very gracefully done.

I see what you did there . ...

“Cry havoc . . . and let loose the dogs of war!”

“To a new world of gods and monsters!”

Yes, I’m showing my age here. And I’m still bitter that we somehow got through ten seasons of SMALLVILLE without her ever showing up.

Clark’s college girlfriend was a mermaid. You’d think people would remember that. :)

Sure, Diana’s fine with officiating weddings now, but when Harley and Ivy ask her to preside over their nuptials . . . ? :)

Forget Lana Lang. What about Lori Lemaris?

I think you mean Batwoman. Batgirl is a different character(s).

The original run by (mostly) Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan? Absolutely. Great stuff that I devoured when it first came out. (I will even fess to having written my fair share of TOD-inspired fanfic in junior high.)

Back in the seventies, it was not uncommon for convenience stores to shelve Marvel’s thriving line of black-and-white comics magazine (SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN, VAMPIRE TALES, PLANET OF THE APES, that bunch) alongside the lurid true-crime magazine, which sometimes embarrassed me as a teen, having to sort through those…

Just imagine if they played the same name games with spin-offs of popular female characters . . .

He-Storm! Boy Canary! Harley Men!

Sad to hear.

Technically, she was the first “real” Orion girl to appear on STAR TREK since the one in “The Menagerie” was an illusion . . ..

I’ve also known placeholder titles (“We’ll come up with the real title later”) end up being used because:

1) You can’t think of anything better.

2) It starts to grow on you.

(I swear to god, the title of my sci-fi vampire anthology, TOMORROW SUCKS, started out as a joke. Then we decided to go with it.)

Okay, that’s not at all what I was expecting. The trailer at least is much campier and breezier than what I expect from a FRANKENSTEIN flick (Mel Brooks and Abbott & Costello aside). Seems like maybe they’re going for the tone of Brendan Fraser MUMMY movies.

Need to process this . . .

But . . . but I saw it in a Woody Allen movie so it must be true!
