I’m a bit surprised that this show got a season 2 after all.
I’m still not sure how it is on USA with that HBO level of language. Older USA shows like Burn Notice (less violent and vulgar than the network’s NCIS reruns) seemed to be held back because of USA’s cleaner image. If only they’d come out now.
Still, this show brings to mind Greg Ayres’ line from Ghost Stories: “Remember when Christian Slater had a career?”
I saw Dark Matter on Netflix but I’d kinda forgotten about it. It would have been a lot better if it hadn’t been anti-man and hadn’t recreated what might have been the most hated plot development of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Robot was best character tho. Robot needed to do moar, Wil Wheaton needed to do less lol.
I couldn’t figure out why Jace is just as skilled with a gun as “totally-not-Jayne Cobb”. Firefly didn’t have Simon Tam be as good a shot and fighter as Jayne or Zoe…
I thought bloated episodes were an anime only thing (ahem Fate/Zero) but I noticed it in Netflix’s Longmire. The weirdest part of that was they made the episodes longer (in the season they produced vs the 3 A&E made) but they’d clearly cut the show’s budget.
Other than bloated episodes, there’s the other big problem in the room. Notice the channels with start times like these. 6:25, 6:50, 7:15, 7:40, 8:05, 8:30, 8:55, 9:20, 9:45, etc. Why bother watching?
I won’t get my hopes up for this being as good as it was in Season 1 & 2.
Hopefully they’ll at least get back to the action scenes (and stop having Mr. Resse be a human punching bag). But if they could go further, drop the pretentiousness and surrealism and get back to the witty realism of Seasons 1 & 2 then I’d totally buy the bluray.
Still, I’m kinda surprised it returned on CBS. I was expecting it to be a Netflix “Original” Series.
