When I reflected on how Da'vin's backstory is that he's searching for a mysterious doctor that he won't say more about, I couldn't help thinking: "Captain Jack? Is that you?"
Killjoys Season 1: Discussion and Spoilers

I agree the music is "obnoxious". But the second episode was pretty good and I am wanting to know more about the red box.
Luke McFarlane is a big yawn to me but the other two are lovely
I'm liking the pace and the potential for very different settings.

I thought that was her, though I couldn't remember the actress's name.
Would they still have migrant farm workers in the future? Wouldn't they have robots to do that? Maybe it's the old trope that robots are expensive, delicate equipment, so the evil corporations prefer to exploit disposable humans. Still, a lot about this future is very retro.
Okay, the Quad has four worlds... There's Leith, Westerly, and Qresh, but what's the other one?
That didn't occur to me. I thought, instead, that she reminded me of Zoie Palmer in a way -- similar features, mannerisms, and personality, though not a lookalike, of course -- and I was thinking that Michelle Lovretta must have a "type" she prefers for doctor characters.
That's why she seemed so familiar. I thought I recognized her, but I couldn't place her.
From Syfy.com's The World of Killjoys page:
We also heard another reference to someone coming to The Quad, so it sounds like there is more to this universe's civilization than just The Quad. I wonder if we'll ever get to see more than just The Quad.
I thought this was another good episode.
I guess that I am just not buying the Batman/Arrow background of the lead's training or the ideal that kill warrants would be issued. So the rest of the world building doesn't reach me.
Compared to its stable mate Dark Matter they do seem to have better stunt work and choreography on Killjoys. But so far I have been drifting off with no want to make a repeat viewing to catch up.

Well, the show seems to be set in a corporate-ruled dystopia where the powers that be are heartless and human life is cheap. So I can buy "kill warrants" as part of that universe.
Zoie reminds me a tiny bit of Joann too, though not as much. Hmm. Maybe I just miss Joann.
After seeing a still shot of the character in io9's review of the episode, I now see the resemblance to Joanne Kelly.
The ominous description of Arkyn in my last post makes me think something either happened there or is happening there that someone wants to keep secret. I'm kind of getting a bit of a Miranda from Serenity vibe.
Kill warrants don't seem that hard to believe to me. The Quad seems to be a pretty rough place.
You must have cringed, then, when McCoy told Kirk that this was; "about you flying a goddamn computer console when you wanna be out there hopping galaxies."
I was laughing at how Atherton Wing the plantation owner Martell was. Got a very Firefly vibe in some of this which I think is working in its favour. It's cheesy and tropey but I'm enjoying the world.
Read the Syfy explanation about the worlds etc.. (thanks to the person in thread who mentioned it).

It's pretty obvious that The Quad is just one inhabited region of the show's universe. If it wasn't, there would be no reason to explain basic politics and laws to any of the characters, who are clearly ignorant of such things and who are equally clearly from somewhere other than The Quad.
Heck, even the RAC ship appears to be somewhere beyond the Quad as there's no sign of the planet, let alone any of the moons, in the background of any of its shots. At least that I can remember.
