This got my hopes up for nothing. Its the wrong Dark Matter.

Oddly, it uses almost exactly the same font for the title.

There's a different one? This one (the new one) is quite good.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

The 2015 one scratched that Firefly shaped scar in my soul and also got cancelled too early.

There's only one Dark Matter.

I tried to read the book and while I like the way the multiverse functions or how navigating it works but the main character moping for months cause me to DNF.

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.

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

How about "Grim dark matters"?

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

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.
