Killjoys Finale Ending Explained by Creator Michelle Lovretta
TV is bursting with reboots and revivals — so when are we returning to the Killjoys universe?
Well, all right, if you want to be a literal killjoy about it, it’s over. On Friday, Syfy aired the show’s romantic, action-packed and very satisfying series finale. And that appears to be that. But if you’ve been watching Killjoys faithfully, you are probably like most fans of Team Awesome Force — you want all these people to come back to your screen immediately.
It doesn't look like that’s going to happen, according to creator and executive producer Michelle Lovretta, who has other projects on her plate (though in the interview below, she doesn’t rule out comics, novelizations and the like). So at this point, we must focus on what we did get: Yalena “Dutch” Yardeen (Hannah John-Kamen), Johnny Jaqobis (Aaron Ashmore) and D’avin Jaqobis (Luke Macfarlane) were a badass, quippy, wonderfully entertaining trio for the ages. The show’s core group of actors had the kind of rapport and chemistry that is all too rare, and Killjoys took what was so clear on the screen and ran with it for five whole seasons. Add in sly space villains, riotous prison ships, daring heists, messed-up families, unlikely romances and too many dangerous adventures to list, and, well, what more could a person want out of a TV show?

What Zelda Should Nintendo Remake Next?
With the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening now out in the world and on Switches everywhere, it got us to thinking: what other Zelda game deserves a remake (or, at the very least, a remaster)?
From the original Legend of Zelda to the more obscure 2D side-scrollers, here are our picks for which of Link's adventures should be next on Nintendo's to-(re)do list.
The Legend of Zelda
Sure, we've got the original Zelda adventure on NES Classic and Switch Online. It's readily accessible, 35 years later (which rocks!). And yes, some people might find a remake of this classic blasphemous.
Fans Are Loving Apple Arcade
Apple Arcade (the mobile gaming subscription service for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac) launched yesterday, and fan reactions so far are overwhelmingly positive.
The service costs $5 a month (though currently has a free one-month trial period) and includes 53 games at launch, all of which are ad- and microtransaction-free. While many were skeptical of Apple launching a gaming subscription service, it appears its appealing price and strong lineup of games has cast most fears away.
Check out the video below to get a glimpse at Apple Arcade in 100 seconds.
Apple Arcade: Games, Games, Games
This game was made for me. Apple Arcade is packing some seriously good titles right now. Month free trial people. Check it out. The Pinball Wizard especially. #AppleArcade pic.twitter.com/KgJMmAoc4u
Miyamoto Asked Zelda Producer to Make Mario Maker-Style Zelda Game
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for Nintendo Switch is a faithful recreation of the original Game Boy adventure, except for perhaps one noticeable difference — the brand new Chamber Dungeon mode. Allowing players to arrange their own dungeons out of existing rooms from dungeons in the game, the mode isn’t quite the Super Mario Maker-esque “Zelda Maker” fans have been clamoring for. But, there’s a good reason why, according to longtime series producer Eiji Aonuma.
Speaking to IGN via email, Aonuma explained that, at one point in their regular discussions about upcoming Zelda games, Shigeru Miyamoto asked about the possibility of Mario Maker-like gameplay for a Zelda game.
