So, what is it with all of the guys (including the one who is nothing special and the one who can only hit things a few feet away aka the cramped confines of a ship) going on the away mission while all of the girls (including Kung Fu dual pistols lady and an unstoppable killer robot) staying behind to tend the home front? And also could those firefight scenes be staged even worse than what we saw?

Xtanstic posted:B-b-b-b-ut.... there's a mysterious box in Dark Matter too! In all seriousness, I'm probably gonna give this show until Rodney McKay shows up before I give up on it. Dark Matter's box just raises the question "What's in the box?", which is the worst kind of left unanswered science fiction show "mystery".

Waverider posted:Good lord that battle at the end of the episode was horrible. Lets all run around pretending to be in the Matrix or something and kill tons of space corp police then they all disappear without making a sound. WTF. What did they spend like $5 on this show? I'll give it a couple more episodes...

ElCondemn posted:They had that giant fake laser/whatever gun, why not just shoot lasers all day? It would look better, but I guess since the fake gun was only fired once (seriously, I can't remember it going off more than once) they probably don't have the budget. Killjoys seems to have a bigger budget for things like that.

Kesper North posted:IIRC she's better at more action-oriented stuff. Her Continuum episodes were good; that's all I've seen of her stuff. But Continuum is also a much better show. And I realize that the show needed to double down on worldbuilding after not doing any for the first three episodes, but that's no excuse for how much filler was in this episode. One is still awful.

PaganGoatPants posted:Android is the best character on this show. The Android is either funny or utterly terrible, depending on the scene. The writing for her is incredibly stilted and awkward, and not in a "robot shaped like a human" way either. Actually the writing for all of them is incredibly stilted and awkward.

VBane posted:I am really enjoying the show myself. Its interesting they introduce the clone travel thing, then immediately invalidate it was an explanation for One because the original would know if he'd ever been so invasively scanned. I like they established Six doesn't have superhealing before establishing Two does. I like they they defy expectation by having Two hook up with rear end in a top hat Three.

Rachel Nichols definitely has that steely hardass mentality that Melissa O'Neil lacks, not to mention actual chemistry with her male co-stars.

This show is seriously terrible and glacially slow at developing characters. We're still in set up mode, but at this point all we know about Three is that he's not a total rear end in a top hat and can actually love. And he has a vague undefined secret that is being held in reserve for the moment. Compare to Fancy Lee, from Killjoys. He's also the rear end in a top hat of the show, but in two episodes he has been better developed than Three has in seven. He's a loner, but also sees his self-ostracization as a critical role that he plays for the benefit of his fellows. And we see that he has some degree of compassion in him, as he commits what can only be seen as an act of mercy. One is the gooniest motherfucker on the ship, and Two is a "Hark A Vagrant" "Strong Female Character". They really are meant for each other, but I'm finding it hard to care.

Dark Matter's greatest weakness is that it really doesn't seem like it can do multiple things in one episode and the pace it sets is glacial. Hence why basic character setting has taken 7/13 episodes and they're still not done yet (since One and Two are still blank slates). At least Killjoys manages to have A, B, and occasionally C plots that all contain serial elements that move the plot along appreciably or flesh out the characters. Like this one, which pushed along a character arc, a setting based serial plot, and made Fancy Lee a far more complex character all at the same time. The romance between One and Two is such a waste of time. The show needs to "accidentally" space One.

The whole CEO thing is just stupid. What kind of idiot CEO undergoes future plastic surgery to personally hunt down the man who killed his wife when he could just hire every bounty hunter in the local star cluster to do it for him? Plus, you know his company stock dropped like a rock on the GSE the minute people found out he was missing.

A Space Japan interstellar empire which outfits its warriors with lamellar armor and katanas straight out of a historical reenactor's closet is some of the dumbest worldbuilding I've ever seen in science fiction, and I'm including David Weber.

hollylolly posted:She already benches like 155lbs no sweat. (Yes, I noticed in an earlier episode when she was lifting.) Perhaps not super human strength, but that's pretty drat strong for her size. She throws people around in her fights, but maybe she'll start using it more now that she knows she isn't strictly human? Apparently she isn't as strong as the Android, though.

I haven't watched since Season 1, but having gotten a glimpse of the latest episode, I'm a little amazed at how Emotion Chip Android, who is an artificial being that only fakes emotions, is far more convincing as a human being than much of the rest of the cast. Lively and snarky is a good look for Zoie Palmer.
