Dark Matter, SyFy's new space show, premieres June 12th

So Two is a Blade Runner style replicant? No wonder she is such a badass during fights.
 
This one was OK.
It was great that the women rescued the men.
It's nice to finally get some answers about Two, but it definitely deserved a bit more attention. Hopefully they'll spend some time on it on the next episode.
We got some nice character moments for the guys while they were locked up.
I did not expect the device they stole to blow up the planet.
 
The scenes with the guys locked up really reminded me of writing from the Stargate shows, even the humor beats were similar in structure.
 
I wonder why no one is talking about the fact that 3 is obviously in love with 2, and that TPTB are clearly setting up a major love triangle story line.

That guy is becoming the most interesting character on the show for me. Started off as a remorseless brute, but he's been steadily turning into a sympathetic, relatable human being. I hope they don't screw him up.
 
Because we all know he cares more about her than he's let on, from the moment he found out One and Two had a thing for each other, and he stepped aside. ;)

From the beginning, I thought it would be hilarious to discover they were a couple pre memory wipe.
 
Come to think of it. They probably should have waited till they found out who Two is before either of them made a move on her. What if it had turned out she was a sister to one of them?

And the memory episode at the farm.

One is a quadrillionaire industrialist, and it makes sense that he could hire some trainers to give him skills to go after his wife's murderer.

But beyond that, he is one of two things: He is self-made, successful, innovative, and financially astute. These would be his "muscle memories." Things native to his personality. Trouble is, he doesn't show these skills.

Or, he was born rich and like Tony Stark, for example, enjoyed his wealth and hired people to teach him mad skills.

I'm left feeling that it actually was Three who grew up on the farm planet. And wondering what event destroyed that and sent him on a mercenary journey...

I believe the text on screen said "heir" when he was doing his research, so yeah, he's more of a Tony Stark kind of industrialist. Minus the genius part.
 
Tony Stark is the heir to industrialist Howard Stark's Legacy.

Although, Tony we discovered recently (in comics) is adopted.
 
Tonight's two episode season finale:
Episode Twelve:
The crew's handler sends them on a seemingly simple retrieval opthat involves a scientist being held against his will on a remote world. This snatch and grab, however, quickly devolves into a horrifiying ordeal, which reunites one member of the crew with a powerful individual from their past.
Episode Thirteen:
Personalities clash, long held secrets are revealed and the crew members are rocked by a shocking betrayal in the Season 1 finale.
