Back stories take shape in unexpected ways and a unique technology lends a fresh perspective.

This Dark Matter review contains spoilers.

Perhaps, like me, you thought you hadDark Matterall figured out.

Sure, there were mysteries to be solved, but you could pretty much see where things were headed.

You thought you knew what you were watching unfold, and then poof!

your preconceptions crumble to dust, and it turns out the real story has been elsewhere.

At least that was my experience with the pleasantly quirky Episode Eight.

What are viewers to make of The Androids apparently anomalous feelings?

Perhaps theres something special about her, too, beyond just servicing the ship.

A character I didnt really care for has, just like that, become a real point of discussion!

Still annoying, but with a fresh context.

Even the general, Sixs revenge target, was only present as a clone!

The same could be said for the others as well.

Although its unclear what he will achieve by calling home, the confrontation cant be far off.

Overall, I get the sense that the writers ofDark Matterknow exactly where their characters and storylines are headed.

They continue to dole out puzzle pieces in a deliberate and methodical manner.

Just dont tell me later that I was eating mealworms.
