I'm much more likely to pull over to greet an elderly pug than to help a stranded motorist. I mention this because I came across this study the other day: (source: Vox) To be fair, my dogs are much lighter and easier to carry than the average tourist or grandparent. Hey, in belated celebration of…

August 22, 2016: Let’s talk Dark Matter “Episode 21: Stuff To Steal, People To Kill”!
As I mentioned in a previous post, two my favorite sub-genres of SF television are AU (alternate universe) and time travel. They both allow us to shed light on our characters, and the show's world, in ways we wouldn't normally be permitted within the established narrative. "Stuff To Steal, People To Kill", for instance, answers…

I don't recall how many finally made the cut but I do recall it was significantly fewer than previous episodes. Such is the life of a producer on a heavily-serialized science fiction series -…

https://youtu.be/IBDvhkRpBnc "Stuff To Steal, People To Kill" is one of my top two favorite episodes of Dark Matter's second season.

It's pretty bananas and a lot of…
August 15, 2016: Dark Matter “She’s One Of Them Now” deleted scenes and dialogue!
Some very interesting feedback on this latest instalment. One of the surprisingly strongest reactions is to the opening scene that many found too OTT (Over the Top). More than a couple of fans have stated they found the scene specifically less Dark Matter and more Lost Girl like (I haven't seen Lost Girl so I'll need you to explain that one). Well, it so…
