Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

( No computer file is going to tell me who I am. Call me Two. )

My Comments: Portia Lin, a.k.a. Two, is one of the main characters of Syfy's Dark Matter, a fantastic scifi show that was unfortunately cancelled after three seasons. I adored the show, and Two is a character I immediately fell in love with. I love everything about her, and these two fanvids chosen today really highlight those emotional moments of her character journey throughout the seasons. The conflict Two has with herself regarding her identity, her past, where she comes from, what she'd done, trying to right those wrongs and becoming a better version of who she had been before. Although some of the dialogue can be difficult to make out at certain parts in both fanvids due to the music, I think they are solid character studies of her character. Plus, Dark Matter deserves more love in general. :)

Dark Matter just got cancelled by Syfy.

When I read this, my heart sunk. I am utterly devastated and heartbroken.

Dark Matter is honestly one of the best science fiction shows I have had the pleasure of watching in years. It not only features some of my favorite tropes, but has such wonderful representation with a diverse cast, all the characters are three-dimensional and complex, and the storytelling and plot are just amazing. It was a mixture of so many things I enjoy about this genre and it filled this void in my soul that had been missing since BSG ended. This little found family found their way into my heart and it's always been a joy watching as their story continued forward. To suddenly have it be cancelled after three strong seasons (it was not only one of the best shows on the network but also one of their highest performing ones too, and the ratings were continually going up) is a damn travesty and I just cannot fathom what caused such a decision, especially since it was among an amazing lineup of other amazing shows. Then again, this isn't new for Syfy to be completely unfair when it comes to their own shows, so it's not surprising that they're failing to comment on why they suddenly decided to cancel one of their best shows.

I want to believe that the show can be saved, somehow. If only for one more season. I know that this seems impossible and a huge longshot, but this is how I react whenever something I love gets unjustly cancelled. I want to have hope that with enough fan support something can be done, even if it's just a small thing like half a season to wrap things up proper.

Sign this petition to help save the show. Again, like always with these things, there is no guarantee but we can at least try. If there are other petitions or fan campaigns available I'll make sure to update with those. But for the time being this is the only one that was just created. So please go sign that, and if you have Twitter go and share it along with hashtagging with the proper tags with the rest of the fandom to show support in hopes of a possible renewal.

Dark Matter, a science fiction series based on the comic books of the same name, centers around six people who awaken from stasis on a spaceship with no memory of who they are. The first season focuses on them figuring out the mystery of who erased their memories and why, and figuring out their pasts and whether or not they actually want to know the truth about who they were before.

( Who stole our memories? )

The second season of Dark Matter just premiered recently, and I honestly can't wait to see what comes next in the story. As I mentioned, I definitely recommend this show because it needs to be talked about more, it is just that fantastic. I can't gush about it enough. (◕‿◕✿)

Here is the S1 trailer, for anyone who is further interested and curious about the show.
