How about Raza, toughest ship in the universe, from Dark Matter. I'm binge watching season 3 currently. :cool:

I just thought of a good parallel - in the first episode the crew of the Raza emerge from stasis pods with their memories wiped so develop personalities as the series progresses. Similar to MX emerging from Debian as a blank slate and forging a distinct identity over time. ;)

You mean Dark Matter? It's available from Amazon and other places. It was on SyFy but cancelled after season 3 unfortunately.

Yeah, bastards for sure. I've still got a couple of eps to watch but there is a whole new story line building that we're unlikely to ever see.

Yeah.. they cancelled it. I loved that series. But you can try Star Trek: Discovery after you finish the Dark Matter series.

Oh, well... what can you do. What I'm really looking forward to is season 3 of Expanse.
Star Trek was meh. Somehow I can buy FTL travel, but I have problems with travel on mushroom spores (authors probably did too much shrooms).

I watched season 1 of Expanse and it looked amazing but I had no idea what was going on. Must watch it again.
Discovery was OK, better than most of the Star Treks since TNG.
But Dark Matter was great and will be missed, along with Firefly.
At least Killjoys has a couple more seasons coming. I's a bit more lightweight but I like it anyway.
