Canadians in outer space... on television! - Weekday Special
Manage episode 190280361 series 1690831
We talk about outer space based science fiction shows produced in Canada, along with a few others that are not so spacey but still in the realm of science fiction. A large amount of time is spent talking about one called Dark Matter that just finished their third season on Syfy channel (also on Netflix). They are up for renewal, so we wanted to get the word out to tweet with the hashtag #RenewDarkMatter to help the cause.
Edit 10/30/2017: Dark Matter was canceled and the social media campaign was unsuccessful. "All good things" as they say...

Other shows mentioned are Sliders (1995), Space Cases (1996), Earth: Final Conflict (1997), Lexx (1997), Stargate SG-1 (1997), Andromeda (2000), Battlestar Galactica (2004), Stargate Atlantis (2004), Orphan Black (2013), Killjoys (2015), The Expanse (2015)... who knew all these great shows were produced in Canada? There was a lot to talk about with only a little bit of time. We might go into more Canadian produced science fiction in the future.
