wormil posted: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. Huh, I thought SyFy was paying for it in some respect. It is very curious they'd drop it then.

Roger Cross just bought a new gaff with a Infinity pool. He needs some stable work.

Apparently they did some Twitter thing that was successful. At this point I would be surprised if they didn't finish it somehow, with a comic or in animation, if they don't find a network. You gotta give Mallozi credit for being able to mobilize fans, but he should have started sooner.

Given it's in its third season, plus the general dearth of sci-fi shows set in space, he probably thought it was bulletproof.

I will never underestimate the stupidity of people running networks. "Yes, this might be the most popular cable drama on television, but it's not pulling in CSI numbers, so we're cancelling it."

So this is cancelled? that blows, I really enjoyed this show and it's music. iirc lemme do a round up of threads with no ends Will 5 ever find her sister? whats up with Sara, did she get her body? does she know what 3 did, etc? will 3 remember what 4 said? is Roger Cross dead, and if not where did he go? whats up with the black ships? something about Zairon what will happen with the Android? I'm sure there are plenty more but these are the ones I remember at the moment. drat shame. For the record Killjoys is awesome and all the interactions between the Jacoby bros and anyone with Pree are gold.

I forgot this show existed again until just now. I hope they get picked up by another network or whatever so I can be proven right about Zairon. Misaki was going to be the new ruler that would show up at some point in Season 4 dramatically. A single line would explain away the poison dagger wound since by TV rules we never saw a corpse and they left her for dead so she was obviously going to survive.

4000 Dollar Suit posted:So this is cancelled? that blows, I really enjoyed this show and it's music. It sucks because they had a 5 year arc planned that would answer all of those questions. Mallozi has been blowing up twitter trying to get it picked up and the cast seems pretty game for more, it's just a question of is it worth the subscribers to some network? I think netflix/hulu are a long shot, but maybe a smaller network who needs more  original content may pick it up for 26 more episodes. Then again, netflix has a $7B production budget next year, so WHO KNOWS???

According to Reddit they started tearing down sets today, the lease ran out. Apparently he still has one set left and they are trying to save as much as possible but I think it's dead. I give him credit for going down fighting.

There was a couple of weeks of Mallozi talking to interested parties that slowly, one by one, said no. ...then Netflix announced they're dropping $500 million on Canadian shows or something. He quoted it on twitter with nothing but  He tried a whole lot.

I would generally side with the creators but this show took 3 seasons to get its feet. That's a little much to ask.

When you have a history of your niche shows getting canceled, you should get the hint and realize you have limited time and get your rear end in gear.

I get a little tinge of regret/sad when I remember The Android was a part of this show, and that means no more Android. She was a really great character in a show of not very good characters.

From Joe's blog:quote:So often, you’ll hear stories long after the fact. Like how Apple almost brought Stargate: SG-1 back for an iTunes exclusive 11th and final season. Or how Canada’s Space Channel attempted to save Stargate: Universe. But in this case, the events are fairly recent – a last ditch effort to save Dark Matter spearheaded by some old friends. An effort that, had it been successful, would have seen characters from the world of Stargate crossover into the Dark Matter universe. Or, technically and creatively, vice-versa. I kid you not.

Tons of future stuff if the show wasnt canceled and SG1. https://josephmallozzi.wordpress.com/2017/12/07/december-7-2017-last-nights-darkgate-highlights/  Would have been amazing. GreenNight fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Dec 7, 2017 |

I mean it's a Canadian sci-fi show so they already had most of the actors from the other dead shows already.

As someone who didn't watch those other Stargate shows I probably would have just been annoyed by all these new characters that they're treating like they're important.

I agree with the green night it would've been great. Dark Matter felt like classic TV scifi all the way, and while surely neither the alien attack nor the android rebellion would've been executed as well as something like Babylon 5's war, as Mallozzi ain't as clever as he believes himself to be, the man does know how to make a fun show. At least I still have Travelers. Are there any other good Canadian scifi shows at the moment that haven't gotten axed?

When all those ideas are laid out like that, you have to wonder why they didn't start any of that, ooooooh 2 seasons ago maybe.
