Took a break from Trek to watch Dark Matter and realized...I was still watching Trek.

Honorable Mentions:
- Inertial dampeners fail in both
- DM calls it "FTL drive" but it's warp drive in all but name
- Subspace communications
- Both have mirror universes
- Discovery's experimental spore drive is Dark Matter's experimental "Blink" drive in all but name
Edit: Had one I meant to include but forgot: Killer Barrels
Bonus: Has Detmer and Sam Kirk too.
Who's that girl augment? Asking for a friend
That’s Melissa O'Neil. She also plays officer Lucy Chen in The Rookie. IIRC, she actually started as a singer and then transitioned into acting.
I knew I'd seen her before so I looked it up. She's also in the criminally underrated iZombie
This looks cool. Is it just one season?
Book is the source material, though haven't read it yet.
There's 3, but it ended on a cliffhanger right as a bunch of plot points from each season were converging into a bigger threat. 😠
I’ll still check this show out. The girl who is an enhanced person is in “The Rookie” and I like her character.
"Wil Wheaton"
I scared the dog laughing.
That got me too
Is that officer Chen?
It is indeed
So jipped about the abrupt end of dark matter. Canceling shows without wrapping things up sucks.
Jipped is gyped. As in ripped off by gypsies. It's not a nice thing to say. Many people don't know about the racist origin of the term. If you hate me for saying this I can tell you the nastiest joke I know involving a gypsy. They prefer to be called Roma though.
5 people downvoted you for politely pointing out that a commonly used phrase is actually a racial slur.
Same, especially since the Black Ships had just arrived.
I welcome any future Dark Matter memes in my Trek shitposting community thank you very much. 🤞
And who's the murderous android? Don't remember her.
She's the, uh, pleasure model they find in storage and re-assemble (very much like how Lore was found).
Spoiler
One of their enemies programmed her to go homicidal after she was...utilized.
That's wild I do NOT remember that all. 💀
She's also in one of the John Wick movies.
Yes, I support the addition of Dork Matter and Killjoys references to our database.
Solid show, did enjoy.
The androids of both shows feel the most human chars of the lot (to me personally).
I loved that show, it had a great universe, and would’ve been awesome if it hadn’t got cancelled.
I thought you meant the recent ‘Dark Matter’ on AppleTV and got really confused for a minute. Although apparently they share an actor.
I just came to say the same thing. I have not seen this show from 2015, but did watch the Apple show recently. I was very confused!
