Dark Matter

2.13 But First We Save the Galaxy

Major league cliffhanger!
Did everyone survive the series of explosions that destroyed the space station hosting the corporate conference? Seems both unlikely and likely.
Action-packed with lots of political maneuvering. Great ending for the season.
As if the cliffhanger wasn't enough, Syfy confirmed that the series will return in 2017.
 
I keep finding things to pick on with this show. Now I'm starting to be annoyed with the obvious cloning of John Carpenter's score from Big Trouble In Little China. Still lots of palace intrigue (literally) and action. But sometimes to little effect. No more episodes until next year. REBerg, are you and I the only ones in the 'verse still watching this?

Also learning that we'll have to wait until 2017 for the next episodes of The Expanse. Now, THAT annoys me.
 
I've only watched the first half of the first series, but I am enjoying it very much. I think that this is Different style of show, I don't think it's fair to directly compare them.

I must confess that Sy Fy have pulled a blinder. With this, Killjoys and the Expanse, they're mAking some awesome TV. Long may it continue.

Must be enough watching, beyond you, I and Droflet, to support a third season, just not enough here enthused enough to comment on it.
Faults aside, this season was, for me, a big improvement over the do nothing first season. The Blink Drive is a clever innovation that opens all sort of plot avenues. No pedestrian FTL travel for the crew of the Raza!
Getting the drive back should be a top priority next season
Couldn't agree more on the delay for season 2 of the Expanse. Syfy has been promoting it, so I'm hoping for an early 2017 return.
 
TBH I'm really enjoying DM, better than Killjoys (which itself isn't bad!). I really enjoyed S1 and think that S2 is continuing well (though it does lean heavily on Blake's 7)
 
So was that the end of the season? Just caught up. Did I miss something, or did no one ever explain how they got out of the palace?

I have enjoyed it in an easy watching no thinking kind of way, but now I have to actually wait for episodes, it might drift out of my space port and be forgotten.

So many things I have to grit my teeth through as well.

For one, someone really needs to get on space and research station security.

Edit: And it's better than last season, but some of the cast could do with refresher acting courses...

Agreed. Two needs to do more than just read the lines. Same with Four (or is that Emperor Four). Three seems to fit within his character pretty well and, as I've said before, the Android is my favorite. And the script needs more than just "We'll space you", "On screen" and "We've got company". Even a space opera could do with some more realistic dialogue. Lessons could be learned from The Expanse.
 
Three has definitely got better and grown into his role/lines. Don't mind the acting of 4 or 2, 6 and 5 are still awful.

I think the android might be the best actor of the lot. Which is ironic considering she is portraying a robot.
 
So I finished the first series this afternoon. Good cliff hanger.

I rather like it, although I do prefer Killjoys. All of the characters have good back stories, but 3, the android and the girl are the most interesting to me.

I do hipped that we get to see what the Raza can do.

Looking forward to seeing series two and I'm glad there's a third series.
 
I really enjoyed S2 and I am very curious to see how they manage to explain their way out of the events of the season finale....
 
I find this and Killjoys a fun one-two punch on Friday nights. Looking forward to season 3 of both.

Finished the series and as cliffhangers go it was pretty good. Niggles aside(bad acting, lazy story telling and woeful script) the show is surprisingly engaging.
 
I thought that i'd give this a bump. I've ordered series two from Amazon and i'm hoping that it'll be here in a day or two.
 
Bumping this again. I'm into series two and really enjoying it. The Blink Drive is an interesting tool and it was nice to see a glimpse of what the Raza is capable of. Series three could be pretty awesome.

I'll admit I had forgotten about this show. Might have a look at the new season but not sure it will hold my interest any more after The Expanse
 
I'm more interested in Killjoy, but as they are back to back, I'm following Dark Matter, too. I was quite dissapointed by Four's/Ryo Tetsuda/Ryo Ishida behaviour in season 2.

Oh, yeah. Killjoys is by far the more entertaining of the pair.
Four's regaining his memories certainly appeared to be an expressway to the dark side. He has set an example for other members of the crew to avoid. No matter how much they may wish to know their real selves, they are better off with their clean reboots.
I have not completely abandoned hope that Four may yet redeem himself.
 
Sill make us wonder what kind of dark secret all have to hide.
I hope Four will redeem himself as I really like him before transforming in a cruel emperor.
