I'm guessing 4 killed his dad assassins after they murdered his dad, assassins who was under the pay of his evil step mother and one of the warring multi corps, they then framed him for the murder of his dad. and he been hunting down and killing her allies ever since. Not exactly original but it a fun plot .

5 and 2 possible daughter/mother perhaps older sister relationship going on. 5 was always left behind on the ship, so learnt how to fix it and keep out of the adults way via crawling through the vents, never learnt of her mother/sister and the rest of the crew violent ways, she has that naivety about her, which is why she was so shock as to what happen in the casino.

I'm going to say 2 (mother to 5),3 (2 uncle),5 (daughter to 2), 6 (family friend) and the kid in the cargo bay are the original crew. The kid should be 3 son, just to wipe that smile of his face when he finds out.

1 is a imposter who was employed to capture 4 who joined the Raaza crew temporarily for the mining job may be just for money to fund his one man war against his step mother or perhaps he had the intention of hiring them in the future to aid him in that war or perhaps he just wanted the ship for himself or the Razza crew captured him and was going to sell him once they got done with the mining job.

1 was probably on the payroll of a multi corps who are involve in the conflict CNN were reporting on. I'm guessing the cargo bay kid couldn't stop the mind wiped but change it so it affected everyone in the pod and 5 would get all of their memories.

Still leave the mystery of what behind those doors, probably not clones given they only have a shelf life of 72 hours.

1 and 3 was hilarious when they were tied up in the chair together. Betting this won't be the last time we meet the real Curso, nice twist there. 2 can card count and it seems the casino of the future still haven't evolve enough to accept it a skill and not cheating.

I definitely like how they are not giving us everything all at once in the show. It's been fun watching them make the discoveries about themselves.

I don't think 2 and 5 are mother/daughter, just because of the age - though it is possible, I am just thinking it looks more like a sister/sister relationship.

Have they run DNA scans to see if any of them are related?

It's possible that 1 and the real Curso are twins separated at birth; they got the good brother, bad brother theme going if that is the case. And you know that 3 is going to milk it for everything it is worth with 1 to keep that a secret.

And 4 on such a high level capture? Like they said, that place was probably full of criminals so that will be interesting.

How many were the original Raza occupants, we know that 1 wasn't as the real Curso said it was a job and a chance to work with the legendary Raza crew. 4 was not an original but probably joined at some time. Did the story he found, say when his father was killed?

It just seems that a legendary crew with a bad reputation would have had more than just a few people. So 2, 3, and 6 for sure.

Maybe what is behind the sealed door is more crew members??????

They are going to get desperate now as they had to flee without any money. Not enough time to get supplies.

I am still enjoying.

And the mystery continues.

I hate to say it, but some of the dialogue feels off to me. Some of Three's "jokes" just go on too long to be funny. Like... overkill with the sarcasm talk. Also, Corso, or whatever his name is, doesn't sound as threatening or calculating as I think he's supposed to. At this point, I just don't really like his character (as Corso or One).

If the crew likes One as much as he claimed they did (they'd definitely come for me, not for you), would it be so bad to tell them the truth about his double? They know that everyone's memory has been wiped, so it's not like that suddenly makes him a worse or more dangerous person than the rest of them. For all they know, they could all be imposters. Maybe the original crew are locked up behind those doors. Anyway, the whole blackmail thing seems silly to me, and I hope that gets cleared up next episode. I don't see him putting up with Three's bs for long, and I'm surprised he did at all.

Didn't see much of the Android this ep (sad!), but with the camera lingering on her more than once, she's still very mysterious to me. Since they're going to be on the run, maybe more of the next ep will take place on the ship. I'd like to see her more.

[TOIVA]

This felt like the best episode of Dark Matter yet. And that's probably because of all the little jokes and fun in it.

I was also saddened by seeing less of the Android, on the other hand, her trying to talk with Four was hilarious. And I guess she'll notice next episode that One suddenly has his old haircut again which will lead to him being exposed (which won't help Three either).

[Annoyed]

We saw plenty of the Android. An emotionally needy android. Gonna have to get used to that.

4 scenes if you count the group scenes at the approach of the base and at their departure.

Not enough for my favourite character of the show (as long as she keeps that high-pitched voice in check).

4 scenes with an emo android is more than enough for me.

[TOIVA]

Well, I tend to like androids a lot.

Now, back to the episode: What do you think will the Raza crew do now? Look for a more hospitable base? Spend the next episode arguing about where to go/what to do?

I'm thinking that's a moment in the story where they need an external push. Or perhaps the android could recover some more data. Or they could find another mysterious something on the ship (Will they finally search it in any thorough way?!).

[Annoyed]

Well, they have nothing of value to trade for fuel, repairs and supplies, no matter how hospitable the next stop turns out to be, so I'm thinking they either find something on the ship, or somehow hire their services out to somebody.
If the latter, I wonder what Nathan Fillion has coming up, now that Castle is coming to an end.

Ha. She just wants everyone to be happy. I think we'd get along well.

And I guess she'll notice next episode that One suddenly has his old haircut again which will lead to him being exposed (which won't help Three either).

Good point.

Yes, another Android favorite!

I hope you're right about the external push. The last thing I want to spend the next hour watching is Three making One do stupid things for him for his convenience and/or pleasure.

Considering that the vote Three bought from One hinges on whatever happened on the station, i doubt he'll be flashy with it as everyone will notice in an instant. It's likely a chip he'll keep until he truly needs it.

[VampyreWraith]

I really liked this episode, I'm liking this show and the characters more and more with each passing ep. The character interactions are feeling more natural to me now than they did at the beginning. I'm looking forward to the next ep.
