Looks pretty interesting, will look into it thanks.

Although if it is good lets hope Syfy doesn't cancel it suddenly like Caprica or SGU

I came, I saw, I fell to sleep. SGU was way better even the first 6 or 8 episodes. I guess about only thing I like atm is vikings and defiance. But I gave it a try.
btw rofl last nights defiance at end.

I'm in it for the money

Watched episodes 1-7 of Dark Matter. They have some clones (which is present in loads of Sci-Fi) ... and what other similarities to EVE?

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Hot chicks (like myself) and cleavage.


Also they are all badguy killer mercs for the most part. (Some may be framed but whatever still killer "bad guys")
This is like eve and unlike most shows (killjoys) where the main guys are lovely whiteknights

Clones present in loads, but not in the sense that it's a culturally universally accepted thing. Clones in sci-fi are usually some conspiracy thing. I haven't seen much sci-fi where clones are used this way (Boot up your own clone and control it yourself from afar.)

That's JUST like eve jump clones, and could be pretty close to medical clones. A few tweaks and this could've easily been an eve show. "A jump clone gone wrong, now it survives on its own as a real person"

Other similarities are, one of the episodes had 2 large corps fighting over the same mining outpost. The atmosphere of it is very eve-like, especially when they docked at a station (Jita anyone?)

I suspect that if I trained Grasping at Straws to V then I could find more similarities in Babylon 5 to EVE. P

I think it's too early in the show to know. Likely they are all just clones of Cpt. Dylan Hunt.
Hmmm... I didn't know EVE was all about "bad guys". I generally play more lawful-neutral (e.g military or bounty hunters etc.). Though if there is just a lack of law, or bad law, then I might go neutral-good (e.g. rogue or assassin). EVE seems a mix of a lot of things, has social sandbox aspects that you define for yourself depending on the circumstances you put yourself into, or your characters.

The story-craft in Killjoys is better. I watched several episodes of both, and Killjoys was the one I'd end up thinking about after.

If House played Eve: http://i.imgur.com/y7ShT.jpg

But in purple, I'm stunning!
