Dark Matter, a possible Stargate Universe alternative?
Stargate writers and producers, Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, have teamed up for a 4-issue comic series called Dark Matter. Here’s an official series description:
A derelict ship floats in space, its troubled crew awakened from stasis with no memories of who they are or how they got on board. Their search for answers triggers the vessel’s deadly security system: a relentless android bent on their destruction. Facing threats at every turn, they have to work together to survive a voyage charged with vengeance, redemption, betrayals, and hidden secrets best left unknown.
It’s said Joseph Mallozzi is pitching Dark Matter as “a high-end cable television series.”
Based on the official series description, I can only imagine it will be very familiar to the Stargate Universe (SGU) tv drama and character suspense with the touch of space missions.
I for one would love to see the SGU return but thats very unlikely. I’m quite sure it was in Mallozzi’s interest and the rest of the SGU crew to entertain us with many more amazing episodes and seasons. I also remember SGU was originally pitched as a five season series.
Hopefully Dark Matter can bring those same character plots and dramatic yet complex human interaction that was instilled in SGU from the beginning, which left us at the very end of it’s series finale with a memorable cliffhanger and endless questions.
If this is the alternative version of the Stargate Universe tv show set with a different format, space mission and badass enemies, I will personally take whatever these fine writers and masters of Space tv show drama and action scene they have to offer. I know many other Stargate fans would agree.
You can still watch every Stargate episode, season and every series on Netflix.
