I finished it, hoping to see any trace of “dark matter” in the story but it was so cringe that the book never once used it. What a stupid thing to do - just to co-opt a popular phrase.

It’s the reason why no matter how good the show gets, I’ll never watch it.

Should have named it "Darkest matters" or something. I don't know what it's about.

Similarly, I hate common word company names like "Meta" that broke search for those words.

Meta was the dumbest rename. I still call it Facebook.

How about "Grim dark matters"?

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

To be fair, the other 'Dark Matter'(2015) tv show never actually brought up dark matter either.

But more critically, I don’t give a shit about the show. It’s the book I’m upset with. I finished that fucker. Gave it 2 stars. First book I’ve finished in a long time that I didn’t give 5 stars to.
