It can be my problem if you like but the show was shot with no light any way you slice it. (and it was to have cheap sets)

I liked it. It's a good space, pew, pew, type of show that fills the SG1 niche.

This series is a little like eating a hot dog after the prime rib that is Defiance, but hot dogs can be pretty good sometimes. I liked the naming convention if for no other reasons than it spared me concentrating to learn names. I confess to being only 20 minutes (with commercials) into the first episode. I kind of wish the schedule was different. Dark Matter feels like a show that should be on at 8 or 9, with Defiance, which kind of slams into you like rebar going through a child's skull, should really be on at 10.

EP, creater and writer Joe Mallozzi did some Q&A last night on his blog, and over the next few days: https://josephmallozzi.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/june-13-2015-ship-based-sf-has-returned-lets-talk-dark-matter/ Some light spoilers. Go back a few days to see space station, ship and other designs.

I've only seen the first season, but Defiance always makes me sad that that's the best they could do with sci-fi/western, which is a concept I don't feel has ever been used to its full potential. Yes, even Firefly.

Halfway through the episode and the stupid 'close my eyes to do android stuff' thing is already annoying as hell.

Yes, even Firefly. What about Cowboys vs aliens? Seemed very western, lots of the tropes, stuck pretty well to the Western style but had a good amount of sci-fi . Also that Dr. Who episode with the alien bounty hunter was pretty good. But maybe you're looking for more sci-fi than western? That would be firefly or cowboy bebop.

GreenNight posted:She should probably just move her eyes back and forth like Data. Not even that much, just a half-second pause or a head tilt or something if you really have to do 'this is showing I'm doing network stuff'. Show seems pretty by-the-numbers so far but I'll probably give it another episode or two to see where the twist leads.

Add me to the list of people getting strong SGU vibes off this. A lot of the sets look like repurposed things from that show, but I'd thought they auctioned everything off after they canceled it.

It's exactly what I wanted to see from science fiction genre tv--a rocking good space show in a big, interesting universe like Firefly, early Andromeda, etc. It has enough grit to it being in the Post BSG world of writing and directing to make comparisons to 90s scifi bit disingenuous. And put me in the camp of being someone who unironically likes Defiance, so seeing these original scripted shows on Syfy is awesome in my book.

Shows have typically been either 20+ episode monstrosities (BSG, The Office, etc) or short 8-10 ep seasons (re: GreenNight's post). e: could be wrong. i'm basing 'relatively new' off of most of Netflix's recent original series having 13 episode seasons
