An easy salvage job turns deadly as the Killjoys are forced into a standoff with their deadliest enemy yet: their own secrets.

Quick Reviews

  • Annie: I loved it! My favorite episode so far, with lots of gross/creepy moments and solid suspense. Loved the humor and all the Johncy moments! And I know I sound like broken record, but Dutch is such a BADASS with her plan to rescue D’avin.
  • Kris: Awesomely creepy episode with a few solid “WHAAA??!?” moments. And, as always, affirmation of the familial bonds between our main characters.

Notable Elements

  • D’avin doesn’t remember what happened, but he remembers that he killed his squad
  • Clever use of nanites (Nanites are also mentioned in Dark Matter. Wonder if they’re the same kind of nanites?)
  • Great sets — the bridge, creepy infirmary, hallways, etc.
  • “He’s on my crew now, he’s my partner.” Aww! Dutch sticking up for D’avin and calling him part of the crew!

Stuff that Made Us Happy

  • “I love you, but you’re an idiot.” First line of the episode. So representative of the relationships on this show.
  • “Let’s go find some treasure and blow shit up.” So guy like!
  • Space rats
  • Lucy as an iPod, John’s choice of music
  • Hogan is cray cray!
  • Dutch going out the airlock – WHAAA??!
  • “How is that in any way loving me?” Poor D’avin!
  • “Favorites, my ass! I’m taking over, you mechanical bitch!” LOL!
  • “It’s not my fault you’re filthy.”
  • More D’avin/John bonding!
  • Khlyen/Dutch scene, Khylen threatening Johnny
  • Lost Girl actors – Richard Clarkin as Hogan, Christine Horne as Dr. Lyra Grange

Questions

  • Why did Lucy detect no life forms when Hogan and Wilson were still aboard?
  • What is Red 17? Did it even have any meaning or was it just a question to continue the endless torture cycle?
  • How were Dutch and D’avin able to decontaminate on Lucy when the program running the nanites was fried?
  • Who put memory blockers in D’avin? Why?
  • What does Khlyen want from Dutch? Where are they going?
