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.

      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

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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!
