![]() Her time spent with the hallucination of Nyx was both a nice visit with the deceased character and an inspirational way to get Two back on the horse. Meanwhile the dwindling life support on the Marauder gives us a glimpse of Two’s guilt and worry over her ability to lead the group. This speaks to Three’s character and perhaps allows Anders, who lets Three escape, to be an ace up the team’s sleeve later in the series. Having Anders alive again allows him to have the same awakening that Six had about the corrupt Galactic Authority, but instead the loyal soldier learns more about the honesty of Three himself as they confront a rogue security drone together. Three’s story not only served to remind viewers and Anders that the mercenaries are not THE bad guys, even though they’re technically criminals. Each group had to overcome its difficulty in its own way, and each “escape” illustrated a necessary quality of the characters involved. Having Three on the planet, Six and Two on the Marauder, and Five and Android on the Raza allowed each story to develop on its own providing a multitude of perspectives on the group’s new situation. It was nice to see the various members of the group separately recovering from the explosion on the station in different ways. Although Two reluctantly thanks Truffault, the gratitude and sense of mutual benefit does seem to be genuine for the time being. With Truffault and Five joining the Android in their disabled ship, it’s uncertain whether the point of the encounter was to emphasize Ferrous Corp’s role as aggressor in the conflict or to highlight the growing trust between the Mikkei executive and the Raza crew. Interestingly, the impending corporate war only provides the backdrop for the initial danger posed to the Raza. Whatever shape the coming season takes, though, Dark Matter is right in its stride from the very start. ![]() However, although the action surrounding the sabotage at the multi-corporate summit will certainly have its consequences in the long term, the series seems to have pivoted into new territory, especially when the two episodes of this double premiere are taken together. The return of Dark Matter for season 3 could have easily been the 14th episode of season 2, so seamless was the transition. ![]() This Dark Matter review contains spoilers.
