Yay, can't come quickly enough.
Wouldn't mind two 10-ep half seasons a year, really.

Is there gonna be a new OT, or should we just keep rolling with this one, 'Castle' style?

I'd actually completely forgotten about this show. Time to smash through the last few episodes of season 2 again so I remember what was going on in time for S3

I still want One back. Kinda tuned after out after he was gone.

He was the weakest among the Raza crew to me, I didn't mind him exiting. Plus there is still the alternate version of him still floating out there.
He was annoying. Wanted him to be awesome...but yeah, just annoying. No loss. Show is better without him.
Not a huge of of the blink drive. OP.

I enjoyed the premiere. The corporate warfare angle is fine, but I hope Ryo continues to serve as the main antagonist for the Raza crew going forward. The show could benefit from a personal threat.

Just heard of this show for the first time. Is there any Scifi shows this compares to, and how does it stack up with those?

Errr, Firefly I guess? I dunno.
The show is okay. Like all shows on SyFy, it has the Toronto warehouse look, but the universe is interesting at least.

So ragtag crew on a spaceship goes on adventures? Should be comparable to Farscape and Andromeda as well then, I suppose.
I loved Firefly, enjoyed Farscape (tho I didn't see all of it) and Andromeda was kinda eh to me.
Edit: Also, I don't mind warehouse look, Babylon 5 is one of my favourite shows ever and its early seasons' sets were about as cheap as it could get lol.

Yeah. They're criminals who become anti-heroes because of "reasons".
I dunno, I'm okay with the Toronto warehouse look... but you can tell when everything is the same boxey stage look, on his show and on The Expanse, and it does take a bit away for me at least. lol
Not yet. I wonder if they want to put it on Crave.

Is there a season 3 OT? So far, it's been good.
Jay Shadow

Nope, we just roll with the same OT every year.
Must have been time for the yearly Roger Cross vacation or something
Still not watched the first 2 eps yet.
Lots of Android please.
This thread covers all of season 1 and 2 so far and your post is #374 lol. Fortunately the shows lack of popularity doesn't prevent it being enjoyable!

It's a great show. I didn't pick it up until mid season two.
Booo, he better be back.Nope, we just roll with the same OT every year.

Haha, I just looked up his profile, and he was a professional pilot before acting? Surely Six piloting must be a reference to that
Of course the white guy is placed front and center. Typical.

I didn't realize it was back. Need to get caught up.

I didn't expect 6 to be exiting, especially so soon. Even if he does wind up returning to the Raza down the road.
Sara returning in virtual form was a surprise as well, 3 seemed conflicted by it.

Yeah, and it's too bad because I think they have a more solid world than Dark Matter does, but their characters are ass.

Season 3 is pretty mediocre so far, I'd put it a step down below the average Stargate SG1/Atlantis episode, whereas I thought season 1 & 2 were a slight step above.
Its really hard NOT to see the Canadian warehouses in season 3 so far, which isn't a big deal if the stories are minor things or deeply personal to the characters like in 1 & 2, but you can't really do a galactic corporate warfare space opera storyline and have your set budgets be on par with Sesame Street. They should have dialed down the stories to be more localized and small, instead of trying to comic book movie it upwards. The supporting actors are all mostly bad too and the main characters are too grim most of the time.
Kinda weird also for Killjoys not to be airing at the same time, the two balanced each other nicely and when one episode was meh the other shows episode was usually good. It won't be on next week either, Killjoys season 3 starts June 30th.

Really? I enjoy the core trio of Killjoys more than the members of the Raza crew. I really like Dutch and think she has great chemistry with Johnny and D'avin.

I though the time loop episode tonight was really fun, a great showcase for 3 and one of the funniest episodes the show has produced.
The phasing technology of Ash was really cool.

LOL, I finished it around a similar time as you, and had the same reaction.
Fuck that cliffhanger bullshit. Whoever thought of that should be fired (out of a cannon, into the sun).

I prefer the Killjoys crew too, but oh well. lol
Also they did a time loop episode. I guess everyone scifi show has to do it at least once!

Killjoys has a 10 episode season and Dark Matter has a 13 episode season.
No matter how you slice it Dark Matter is going to be airing by itself 3 times even if the two shows were perfectly synchronized.

They even had the young kid as a old woman in the future thing from that one Stargate SG-1 episode.

12 Monkeys had a great time loop episode in season 2.

1st 2 seasons are available on Netflix.

The time loop episode started off a bit cliche, reminded me a LOT of the SG1 "Jack goes golfing" episode, but I liked the little twists they threw in at the end to mix it up. I kinda started laughing though at the info dump five starts spewing at Android at the end, while I'm sure it was meant to be serious it just felt like some sort of "HEY VIEWERS KEEP WATCHING WE GOT COOL SHIT PLANNED OK?"
The cast isn't really clicking very well right now unfortunately, with all of them all over the place story wise they need to slow things down a bit I think and give some bonding moments for the cast again.

Same writer as that SG1 episode. He discusses writing them both in this blog entry from a few days ago.
He referred to that last info dump as "the treasure trove of teasers" so I don't know how super serious he took the serious looking scene either.

Mallozzi writes for this show? Go figure. lol
I should start paying attention to who is working on these Canadian SyFy shows.
