I've read the book, and if it's half as good, it will be brilliant.

I have the audiobook and the original (copyright free) book. It's not bad at all, I am definitely looking forward to this one.

Killjoys could be a great little such "b" series

It's getting really quite good reviews - one said it's the best thing on SF TV since Firefly.

That's being rather generous :erm:

You wait years and years for a new space-based SF series, and then two come along at the same time: Dark Matter and Killjoys.

Both are watchable, but neither one (so far) is particularly great.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Seen Dark Matter, not seen Killjoys yet.

Dark Matter was OK.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Killjoys is from the creator of Lost Girl so I was expecting better than what it was.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Given how Lost Girl has been getting worse each year, I wasn't really expecting much from it anyway.

Really ? :erm:

Thats not my view of it.

It was average at best, I'll keep going with it for now.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Yup, totally average.

I think that the best space-based SF we've had since Firefly are Battlestar Galactica and Stargate.

Killjoys is nowhere near on a par with any of those (nor is Dark Matter).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

I think people are expecting a bit too much from it.. I did suggest it was a "B" series and you should view it as such.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

I am more enjoying the Whispers.

Proper creepy.

Jessica Lucas, who recently wrapped a run on Fox’s Gracepoint, has landed the Season 2 role of Tabitha Galavan aka Tigress, TVLine has learned exclusively.

On the DC Comics-based drama, Tabitha is the lead enforcer for her brother Theo, a billionaire industrialist hell-bent on taking over Gotham (and to be played by go-to bad guy James Frain). Described as sexy and violent — and toting a bullwhip! — she’s the opposite of her cold and calculating brother, deriving a sensual pleasure from the mayhem she’s tasked with making.
