Cross-posted from "Took a break from Trek to watch Dark Matter and realized...I was still watching Trek." by @[email protected] in [email protected] since I wished at the time there was a dedicated Dark Matter community.


Honorable Mentions:

  • Inertial dampeners fail in both
  • DM calls it "FTL drive" but it's warp drive in all but name
  • Subspace communications
  • Both have mirror universes
  • Discovery's experimental spore drive is Dark Matter's experimental "Blink" drive in all but name

Edit: Had one I meant to include but forgot: Killer Barrels

Bonus: Has Detmer and Sam Kirk too.

Laughed out loud when I got to "Whil Wheaton." ๐Ÿ˜„

This must be why Kayla Detmer looked weirdly familiar in Discovery. Did the Blink Drive also have a genetically special human pilot? I can't remember.

No, it didn't have that nor require mushrooms for fuel. lol
