The up-to-now quiet character Four (played by Alex Mallari Jr., who really does have a black belt), seemed to be very careful in his plotting to regain the throne until the last 2 minutes when he wiped out all of his foes. Even for Dark Matter, a show that has gutted its characters in the past and left them to die, this was a surprise. I was mostly surprised about the murder of his brother, but Four may know more about his brother than we do now that he has his memory back.
This "Red Wedding" moment put the series on a whole new footing at episode 12, with only one episode to go.
Will his Raza crewmates support him now and give him the Blink Drive technology he needs? Six's comments earlier in the episode regarding his worries about a fleet of such weapons was not encouraging.
It is unlikely all of this can be wrapped up in one more episode, but luckily Dark Matter has already been approved for a third season.
The richness of the double-sided characters, as well as access to parallel universes, promises plenty more great stories and wild plot turns.
I'm hooked!
