Welp. I never really loved the show itself, but flaws aside, I am definitely going to miss seeing some of the actors.

Oh don't worry they'll show up in the next sci-fi show. It's Canada's greatest export.

This is some bullshit. Dark Matter is like my favourite show. (Other than got or the expanse.) I'm proper unhappy. Also killjoys is dumb and stupid because every loving character is trying to say some stupid loving quip every god drat line. gently caress killjoys.

Dark Matters was a good show. Never watched Killjoys.

I'm actually not that surprised to see Dark Matter go. After the first season it never found a proper flow that the first one had (Can I trust these five other people beyond the next crisis? Who are we? Slowly having all that peeled back), and it just turned into a stuttering mess in the third season. There are good episodes, but a coherent arc they did not make. Boy, that Corporate War actually turned things right on their head for everyone this season, didn't it? Whole lot of things changed, like several worlds trying to join the League of Non-Aligned Planets (dropped storyline), getting two new crewmembers trying to find Tabor (they left mid-way, unresolved), and the only resolved storyline was back-ended into the season (the alien invasion). Nevermind the show's borderline-sexual obsession with backstabbing among the crew and any visitor who steps foot on the Raza. Accretionist posted:Dark Matters was a good show. Killjoys is a great show. The first season is pretty hit-or-miss, but come the second it's obvious the writers sat down and worked out what they want the show to be; fun. And in comparison, Killjoys post-season 1 has had excellent arcs flowing towards their finale. Season 2 is mostly standalone jobs, but they each nicely drop a piece of a larger puzzle that you can work out before the other shoe drops at the end (not in a clumsily obvious way, just enough for you to guess close enough). Season 3 builds on that arc and properly escalates the stakes too, with Season 4 obviously going to rise even higher. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Sep 2, 2017 |

Syfy probably saw the Killjoys people had their poo poo figured out, and Dark Matter had their thumbs up their asses. That's what I worry about for shows like Better Call Saul. Sure, it's AMC's best drama, but it's losing viewers because it is so slow burning. They need to poo poo or get off the pot before the show is canceled and the people still watching get nothing.

Killjoys is literally one of the worst series I've ever seen. It's mind numbingly boring. Every scene and every sentence of dialog feels like I've seen and heard it a thousand times already, and the acting was like people reading from cue cards. Well at least the first season, never watched after that. I really did hate it.

I just started watching Killjoys starting at whatever season is airing now. I can understand why Dark Matter was cancelled instead. Killjoy's characters are characters. I don't really know where KJ's plot is going but Dark Matter has been spinning it's wheels since season 2.

I don't really know where KJ's plot is going but Dark Matter has been spinning it's wheels since season 2. I think the fundamental reason why Dark Matter died and Killjoys got locked in for a free ride to its finale is a simple one; You have two shows where the current plot is about parasitic aliens with human hosts and an oncoming armada: One is well-written, has great main and recurring characters, with a focused setting the audience can understand through recurring locations (Here is Westerly, it is a shithole mining moon. Here is Leith, it's the nice moon with forests and farmland for the common folk. Qreche? You aren't rich or notable enough to even visit Qreche, commoner scum  ) , and has gotten to where it is with consistent plot threads that grounded what was going on into a decent ongoing narrative.The other has characters with minimal personality, poo poo the bed on multiple plotlines to no conclusion, and has no real grounding in its setting outside of the Raza (Anyone they meet is either "oh, hey, we knew you before ~THE MEMORY WIPE~" or just plain someone they won't ever meet again. Or trying to backstab them, because the show can't let go of doing that every two/three episodes.

The bad news is this is cancelled but the good news is I already forgot it existed between episodes while it was airing so the pain will be brief. Farewell loose plot threads.

Rocksicles posted:Roger Cross needs an Expanse gig. I figure he's more likely to turn up on Van Helsing. Lots of Continuum cast members pop up on that show. Plus it goes through its cast like they're chicken nuggets, so it won't be a long-term commitment.

Killjoys is a better show, but the acting and dialog is just so loving bad. If they just stopped trying to make every character witty, (and killed the main lady off she is a terrible actor in both her roles.) Then I would totally love that show. As people have said, The plot and pacing is great, the setting is great, even the characters and their arcs are great. Its just the dialog is so goddamn bad.

spookygonk posted:Didn't they rebrand and dump all science fiction shows for wrestling? For awhile they kinda became this weird alternate reality tv show network that would play trashy sci-fi and horror movies in between loads of bullshit like wrestling and fear factor. They reshifted hard back into scifi and original content 2 or 3 years ago.

What he has going for him is that Syfy, MGM, etc don't own the show. He can bring it to any network that is willing to pick it up. He asked Syfy if he could do a 6 episode mini series to close out the show, and they told him to get lost.

Can't see how. The ratings didn't going into the toilet big time or anything. Syfy does own Killjoys outright though so they'd get any profit from streaming, dvds, etc.

There was no budget to take away, SyFy doesn't produce Dark Matter. Mallozi owns it and if he can find another network before the rent comes due on the sets, it could continue, but honestly I think it's a long shot. I enjoyed the show but a year from now I'm not going to miss it. What they should do is kill off the characters in Killjoys and hire the cast from Dark Matter, then at least that show would have one good thing going for it.
