The Review at the End of the Universe
“Episode 16 – I’ve Seen the Other Side of You” Dark Matter has come to mean so much to me that it feels like a betrayal to not love an episode. Yet despite this feeling, I am going to say I wasn’t so taken with Episode 16. Not that there weren’t things to like in the…
Episode 15 – Kill Them All “Kill Them All” is a title that by itself promises to put the dark in Dark Matter, one of the three things we were told to expect in season 2. Episode 14 covered the others very well I thought – there being more world building through the corporations’ plotline and certainly One…

“Zero Hour” Continuum season 4’s fourth episode – ‘Zero Hour’ – is the hour of answers. Some characters are perhaps still to show their hands and the physics of it all might still be a little in question but we’ve now been shown most of the background. The soldiers are building a portal to the…
“Power Hour” I wondered what direction Continuum would move in for its finish in three episodes time.
