"Joss Whedon's Firefly may have got short shrift from Fox, but its influence is writ large over two new shows – Dark Matter, which has already begun on SyFy in the UK, and Killjoys, which we have yet to see – about bantering bands of ne'er-do-wells, struggling to make ends meet out in the black. Dark Matter, actually based on a Dark Horse comic book, isn't really anything revolutionary, but it's easy-going pulp action – even if the Firefly clones are a bit on the nose at times (the resident Jayne Cobb wannabe even names his weapons!) and the stereotypes are occasionally too easy (hey, the Asian dude is a martial arts expert who prefers a sword to a gun… didn't see that coming)…" Main page heropresstwo.blogspot.com.ar

I've watched both of these and they are ok. So far I think that I like the premise behind Dark Matter. |

Killjoys is getting slightly more regard on the net, but Dark matter has it's fans. I'm just happy space-based SF is showing to be popular again. :) |

The reason why I like space based SF is that it has so much potential, so many races to be encountered, so many new worlds. If the action is just Earth based it all seems a bit small to me. I want to see another Star Trek series, more Firefly type shows, and maybe a Babylon 5 reboot…. |
