replied to your post “Hi, I’ve been following you for quite some time and you always…”

my turning point episode for me was episode 4, because of the world building & political back and forth between Dutch and Delle Seyah. and then the last few episodes sealed Killjoys for me

Yeah, but this anon specifically mentions ep 4, which was Delle Seyah’s intro. It was the surrogate ep, so a lot of the Qreshi politics were at play. I feel like if you’re not at least intrigued by then…

I felt similarly. I actually gave up after episode five in season 1, but I’m glad I came back a few years later and gave it another shot. I just skipped straight to season 3 (the latest season at the time) and that’s when I got hooked on it, but I did get to season 2 eventually, and I did enjoy it more than season 1.

Oh, well, anon, see, more testimonials for s3! The reason I’m hesitant to immediately tell people to start there is because it’s partly so good because it’s built on the dynamics and characters we’ve known for two seasons already. But it did feel more mature and deeper by then too. I think you’d be okay with starting from there and going back if you wanted more.

I just don’t see how they can, they’ve taken away his defenses one by one. Even when Fitz suggests brainwashing, it’s already clear how badly he in particular has taken it and what a desperate last-ditch attempt to make sense of things it must be. Plus, we’ve seen so much of him with both Raina and Garrett as well as Skye…there just doesn’t seem to be any additional space for it to be a triple cross or brainwashing and I refuse to believe this was all voluntary and still something he can come back from.

And to be kind of honest, with the show’s treatment of PoC and women, with two Black people very reluctantly forced to commit crimes because of killer chips in their heads, I absolutely don’t mind the clean-cut chiseled white guy turning out to be the actually bad guy.

Yuck.
