Dark Matter [** Spoilers **]

I thought that it was a great episode, really entertaining.

I wasn't keen on the storyline of 'Three' and Sarah. It just seemed so hurried. She finds him in a forest, they fall in love. Back on the ship he seems to fall in love again and then she suddenly dies. I would have thought that they would have kept her around for a few episodes and had her slowly die or put her back in stasis while 'Three' and Android search for a cure.

I thought the story with Wendy the entertainment android was great. I thought she was a real fun character, sexy and funny. I love the idea of a sexy badass headless robot. She would make a great series regular if they could just stop her from trying to kill everyone.

But the highlight of the show was Android's jealousy of Wendy at the scene with her doing the different accents was hilarious. I hope we get an excuse to hear the accents again at some stage.

Fun.

This is a fun show.

The plots are straight forward, nothing fancy, no twists, it's not Inception it's not serious like Star Trek. The show is just a fun scifi romp through space. An android trying and failing with her interpretation of human emotions is fun and provides a few laughs. An entertainment android, reprogrammed as an evil killer, by an enemy with a grudge and planted in the hold, sure it's contrived but I don't care, it was a laugh.

If this show was presenting itself as a serious scifi drama then none of this would be acceptable but this is not a drama, this is a bit of light scifi fun.

I think they got the tone for Dark Matter right, in that it is just fun, nothing too serious.

But I think they have missed with Killjoys. They seem to be treating the character back stories very seriously but are undermining it with silly weekly plots, light humour and over the top music. I think that they are trying to make a serious scifi drama but it is not coming across that way.

Showing them back to back, I reckon, is a mistake. They would probably both fare better if they had some distance between them.

stargate was similar enough early on in its run, throwing in some odd humour that didnt ad up with other more serious episodes, both shows are only finding their way, i wouldnt expect either to settle on a larger arc till season 2, season 1 of dark matter id say will hopefully end on the crew regaining or at least getting an understanding of who they are/were, and maybe some choices they made in season 1 will lead them to live better lives, and season 2 can be the conflict of their true selfs and their new selfs, and deciding what to do,

the show is moving along nicely at this point, its not top of my watch list, but its not a show i avoid either, so ill stick with it,

still noting about that key the young one has,

must say that both dark matter and killjoys may have went assways about how to develop their stories, only now with a few episodes to go are both shows getting a lot more interesting, if these shows started in september i would have bailed after 3-4 episodes, and would never have gotten this far and actually become genuinely interested in both shows,

i hope they both get renewed, gonna be a close one, their not doing well, but their also not that far behind defiance and dominion, so gonna be interesting to see what happens,

I thought that they had no money has they messed up selling the weapons the last time so how did they manage to pay for getting the ship refueled this time? If they did.

In the previous episode, when they opened up the vault, there was a crate full of credits.

next weeks should be interesting after that ending,

still hard to get the characters down, its a strange situation cause they dont know who they are, and your constantly swinging back forth on your opinion of a character,

i wonder why 2 is still wearing that patch, surely even at this point itd be ok to remove, been on for a while, it should be more suspicious that its on so long now,

i liked when 3 told the android that shes not allowed reset herself, cause he doesnt want to get know another person

I'm guessing that they disease she contracted has changed her in some way. Her skin was already healed at the end of that episode but she left the bandage on not raise suspision. I gather she has an accelerated healing now. A few episodes ago the android stated that she was lying about something so it was probably that.

Is 2 the only character they haven't done a flashback for? They seem to be revealing slowly all the other crew members to have good sides or unwilling criminals, so it would be refreshing if 2 was revealed just to be psychotic previously.

5's (Jodelle Ferland) background hasn't really been shown much either, but yeah, I'd agree 2 is gonna be the pivotal character, definitely being held for the season finale in a month or thereabouts.

next week should be interesting, id say 2 will obviously survive, and have to explain, id say itll be something to do with that scar healing so fast to, shes either some kind of human android hybrid, or is altered in some way to heal rapidly,

i was wondering if they would have tried that card the kid has, it could be some kind of all access card, i thought it was maybe some kind of machine key, but after seeing the access card in the episode, we now know its a key card, but what does it open

That was a really good episode. Lots happened in it. Funny in parts too. I do think 2 will survive. (1) Maybe she will have a few quick flashbacks thinking she is about to die then realise she ain,t. (2) Either that or the others will get the ship back someway then rescue her but think she is dead. Maybe she is able to hold her breath for really long and they think she is dead they go to see can they do anything for and she suddenly takes a big breath of air and is ok. That or they have actually killed her off. Odds o n the last one are not good do so Ill say its option 1 or 2.
