Has anyone seen this show? What did you think of it?

I started watching it recently (available on prime), and it really reminded of Dark Matter in many ways - the 'ship' interior and tech, the (satisfyingly not over dramatic) acting, small crew/team.

Actually even googled to see if any of the producers might be involved, but didn't see any.

Anyway, I'm interested in hearing from anyone that has/does try it out.

ever been brought back by Five?

Whoa the show got good! It's still a bit campy for me (like Stargate) but man S2 things come together. I love that EVERY DAMNED Scifi show sucks in S1 only to adjust in S2 including cast tweaks.

All shows I find where S1 is bad can fill a book: TNG, DS9, Stargate, Babylon 5, Foundation, Halo, Enterprise, Farscape, Agents of Shield, SGA and so on. Not bad enough to stop watching but much lesser than following seasons. It gives me hope for S2 of The Ark.

Anyway, love this cast now that they trimmed fat in S2. I love that they just put a boring guy in status. Now they can bring him back whenever. Anyway, don't spoil it for me. The 30-something teenager is actually so much better too.

I'm just curious what the demographics are, if you really want to be specific you could leave a comment.

Almost done with my first time watching. I got into this knowing that it wasn't gonna wrap up at the end and I was ok with that... Until now. Just watched S3E4 "All the Time in the World" and it's killing me. It just dropped so many teasers on me that I just know are never gonna be resolved. D:

its all the stars that are hidden by Dyson Spheres of all the other alien races that are already out there. you cant see the stars that are in the spheres, therefore you cant see the matter. but my question is what are they hiding from?

Anyone have any favourite dark matter quotes?

​

Mine is probably when five tells the android to "kill them all"

Almost done with S1, loving it so far. Hated Three at first but he's really growing on me haha.

Big Stargate fan and I lost it when Tori Higginson and David Hewlett showed up!

Just sad that it's only 3 seasons. And from what I understand it ends on a cliffhanger :(

It was the 10th International Fanworks Day yesterday, and I saw there was a challenge going on to write a fic involving the number 10. That was just too perfect with Dark Matter, so I worked out three groups of three where the numbers add up to 10, and just… started writing. Ended up with one of my favourite things I’ve ever written 😂 So I figured why not post it here 😁

Just a random silly slice of Raza life fic featuring all our favourites and a mystery to solve… what the hell happened between One and Three? (Mostly gen but pre-slash One/Three if you squint 😉)

I'm on Episode 2 of Season 1 (Its been about 2 years since I last seen it) and MAN, This Show has SOO Much Depth and Twists and Turns

what are everyone’s thoughts on dark matter being rebooted on Apple? It looks like they’re changing the plot somewhat though.

these down votes are very rude. If you knew anything down voters, you would know that it’s illegal to use the same name. It’s copyrighted. They would get sued.

If some folks start coming here to post about that show, some relevant subs you could point them to would be these. (I'm not affiliated with them.)

Apple's latest Twitter/X post promoting their Dark Matter:
https://twitter.com/AppleTV/status/1754556777998205338

"Based on the bestselling book by Blake Crouch, Dark Matter follows a physicist, professor and family man who embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself. Starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, premiering May 8."

Author Blake Crouch is heading the show as showrunner / EP / writer.

About the novel (with full plot spoilers):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Matter_%28Crouch_novel%29

"The story is about a physicist who is kidnapped and sent to a parallel universe in which another version of his life unfolds because of a different choice he made.... The book draws on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics," and features a device that enables travel "between the countless worlds created from every possible outcome of every event."

Just “finished” Dark Matter and can I just say, everyone on this sub who said it doesn’t end in a cliffhanger was LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH! I am soooo disappointed with the “series finale” (which I put in quotes because the episode is described as the finale to the series but it does not deserve that title at all). This show was amazing. The characters were funny and bounced off each other so well, and there’s still a mystery element going on with the memory wipe. But now, Sarah is gone, off with the androids and we have no idea how she’s chosen to proceed with her new life options. Three is god knows where with Portia. Two is full of alien juice. Six is in the white world of nothing I think idrk. What happened with five’s sister? Two’s daughter? What will Four/Ryo do now? And his psycho right hand woman lol

Also (off topic) fully disappointed with the disposal of One. I understand why the writers did it. It’s a really dangerous world, and the odds of all 6 of them not dying is slim. But it felt really quick and left a hole in my heart for sure.

I read that there’s scripts out there for season 4. I’m gonna read those and hopefully there’s more of a conclusion feeling with that. I fully think that the writers should be given the opportunity to crank out one final season when shows have been canceled like this. Either that, or all streaming services should be required to tell you that the show doesn’t have an ending so that you don’t get sucked in without being prepared. They may not be able to finish out the storyline the way that they had originally planned, but they should at least have the chance to have a proper ending. The amount of shows nowadays that have been started and not finished that had great potential (The Society, Firefly, a hundred others) is absolutely ridiculous.

Where can I download or stream the show in India?

...when the Android is beating up lots of humans. Bodies flying in all directions. She's almost effortlessly invincible. Hilarious every single time.

Android is probably my favorite character, tied with Three maybe. Such a phenomenal performance by Zoie Palmer throughout the series.

What's your favorite or most memorable aspect of the show?

All these years and I’m still depressed that we didn’t get a proper ending. And now In India I can’t even rewatch it anymore :(

Any new news (hopes) that there’s something happening to get this show on Netflix or Prime?

I boycotted Syfy after this

Six has spent the entire Season being fiercely protective of Five, to the point of getting angry at the other crew members that ever put her at risk. He also discourages her from doing anything risky.
However, when she offers to explore the vents to search for an intruder, he doesn't protest .
*Spoiler*:

!Because he knows there isn't one. !<

This was a clue about what we eventually learn at the very end of the episode.

You should listen to it because it's great. I feel like I should compare her to Billie Piper who was also a singer that became more famous as an actor (Doctor Who and Penny Dreadful also great shows) but Billie only had one good song. I hope Melissa gets to sing more in the future.

Where are you all streaming this show? I have a VPN so county and app where you're watching would be fantastic, my daughter wants to check it out with me.

I am a fan of androids in sci Fi. What is your ranking of best androids? In all scifi i have seen, im still looking for a better one than Zoie Palmer. For me she is the best android by far, just the voice is already enough.

Alright folks I know I’m not the only one about to build my ship and call it the raza and most likely become a space pirate first before reforming myself lol.

That's probably not going to happen right? But then Clone High got renewed after 20 years, and Futurama is back, and Babylon 5 has an animated movie coming out in August. So maybe the key is just switching to animation? It's a lot cheaper to draw the Raza than it is to rebuild the sets. Of course they have to resolve the SAG-AFTRA strike first, solidarity.

So short quick post.

How many times have you watched the series?

Me only twice.. I really should give it another run sometime, but I get so disappointed knowing that it ends with no actual conclusion.
