Dark Matter

Ah, yeah, me too. Life's funny like that, isn't it?

After awhile it just becomes a matter of finishing what you started. We've invested all this time into the show so might as well see it through to the end so all that time doesn't go to waste.

In saying that, I don't dislike Dark Matter, but do have the opinion that there is better stuff to watch out there.
 
I guess I'm still watching it hoping that possibly some of what we see is intended to distract us from some underlying story. It's crazy but part of me thinks that maybe the whole look and feel of the show as a 90's throwback is there to misdirect us, lulling us into a false sense of security over some hidden agenda. You never know, it's possible... ;)

It's a bit like The 100 (anyone watched that), really didn't have high hopes for that but then that show took a left turn and went complete off-road!
 
One more episode to go.

So close to the big reveal. So it appears Two and it sounded like Four, I think, were planning to kill either One, Three or Six. And Five may have known about it prior to the memory wipe since she was the one who planted the recording device. I'm starting to wonder whether @REBerg is right and that Five really is the culprit. It would be a good twist. But I think more likely if she is responsible for the memory wipe then she did it to save whoever Two and Four were going to kill.

But it might be that Five hadn't listened to the device prior to the memory wipe, which would mean this is the first she knows of it. If that's the case, then the "traitor" is likely whoever "He" is that they were going to knock off.


I would have thought Android would have invented some way of protecting herself from getting zapped. She must be getting tired of it by now.

The person at the end who zaps Android, it just doesn't make sense that suddenly the "traitor" makes their move after all this time with seemingly no reason to do so. Two possibilities come to mind. Five is getting Android out of the way so that she can confront Two and Four about what she heard on the radio, and is planning to go about it in a surprisingly uncharacteristic manner, or the scientists messed with Two's mind and she's subconsciously turned against them.

Anyway, guess we will only have one week to wait before knowing the answer.

EDIT: Oh, didn't realise it was a double episode. Will be back after watching the finale.

So it was Six. I'm kind of disappointed that it wasn't such a big surprising twist. I can believe him being the traitor, it suits his character. Now with him telling Five she is responsible for wiping everybody's memories brings into question the unreliable narrator. Do we believe him or not?

Personally I do believe him that Five was responsible for wiping their memories. It makes sense.

To be honest. I wanted the traitor to be Five, and I'm disappointed that didn't happen.
 
1.12/1.13
I was a little surprised by the identity of the last crew member standing in the finale. I liked the way they did it, dragging each person out in single-file for viewers to check off.

I don't know what finally getting the answer to the big, 13-episode, "whodunit" question means. Is it the end of the series or only the end of the first season? Could go either way.

I haven't been able to find any announcements about the status of either Dark Matter or Killjoys. I probably wouldn't miss Dark Matter, but I'd hate to lose Killjoys.
 
Re the ending scene, I'm reminded of the very old admonition: "Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see."

Yet another cliff hanger. I'm certainly getting impatient with it all. And I still don't like the monochrome costumes with the floppy gunslinger holsters. Becoming harder to take the dialogue seriously as well. If it doesn't come back next year, I'll find a way to get past it.
 
That was it!!! I watched 13 episodes for that 'shock' ending. No thanks to S2 methinks.
 
Was just reading that Dark Matter and Killjoys have both been renewed for season 2. But whether people come back to watch them next year is the question, especially considering they will have to compete with The Expanse -- which is getting very favorable reviews for the pilot.
 
I'll still watch it, mostly because I want to see where they go from the end of season 1. I don't how many episodes I'll give them to go somewhere -- ANYWHERE! After all, they do have the entire "Final Frontier" available.:)

Now if they'll just rethink the costumes......
 
Pining for the fjords? What kind of crazy dead parrot talk is that?

I did some pining of my own in my youth, for Droxine. It wasn't the costume, of course. Who could resist a woman who could put even Mr. Spock's mind in the clouds?

Oh yeah. That was going to be my next choice. Gotta love those outfits. It was often said in that era that people didn't wear clothes, they wore costumes. Need to reverse the trend a little in Dark Matter.
 
Haven't read all the comments, but I felt the first episode was the best episode of the whole season. A little too much work by the writers to remind viewers that there are secrets and danger and people aren't who they say they are. Seems a little copyish of a few older shows, most notably Firefly but without such good characterisation. All seem a little 2D and writing lacking a little bit. Such a shame as so much potential that I saw that obviously couldn't be delved into because of all the time with mini info dumps or unnecessary monologues :( I'll watch season 2 but I'll be watching alone (the OH managed 3 and half episodes before storming out, and he is usually very forgiving - I think it was the computery/engineery fluff that got him). Didn't watch every week, but watched a couple at a time by the end and felt a little efforty to get through.
