I have no idea why I’m still watching Dark Matter, but I’ve seen every episode.

Their mythology and story logic are all over the place, that one Asian guy is a terrible actor (not many of the others are much better),and very few of the characters’ motivations make sense if you take the long view.

Oh wait, the Android — she’s great, the actress nails it every time and manages comedy and pathos at once. The white guy is pretty okay too, I guess.

I think it’s hilarious that they now have their “go anywhere in the universe” wormhole drive hooked up to the ship. Talk about a plot device that’s unneeded and only going to poke holes in your stories! I thought the purpose of that in the episode where it appeared was that they were going to jump them from universe to universe (once it malfunctioned) like Sliders — but....nope! Right back home, at the end of one episode. (I guess you need to establish a very strong or logical fictional setting if you want alternate versions of it to mean anything, and that hasn’t happened, so...)



I also love that they are enemies with an organization that specializes in very specific precognition. In other words, ridiculous people to have as villains, if you’re going to write logical plots. They really needed to kill them off at the end of that episode, but....nope, still out there!
