I hope it wasn’t too awful, what changed her. Like, I’m sure something pretty awful is lurking behind Alternate Portia’s attitude, so I don’t want to see a whole lot of cruelty and trauma.
Oh, I didn’t even think about that first part till you said it. That would be very tragic and angsty, aw. They deserve better than that! But I don’t really know…sometimes something so major happens that you can pull back and see it more for the decisions writers/showrunners/producers/networks are making behind the scenes than the characters’ story, if that makes sense? In this case, to bring in this major f/f storyline, I don’t really know if simply having it exist in the past is enough and going forward they don’t give it enough thought or care so that the possibility you mention could even happen?
The showrunner mentioned there’s still a lot open but like, you know, that doesn’t ensure anything, and the show could get cancelled, and we know from history that it doesn’t even have to be deliberate, when it comes to f/f stories, the treatment is so different and can be so lacking. I think…I hope, at least, that we will definitely get some more Shaw and Rebecca interaction, but Two remembering would be such a major shift in the show, I don’t know if they’d go there anytime soon, if ever.

Well, and like, hundreds of seasons of hetero stuff on other shows, right. I guess my expectations were so low, coming into this year, that even something like this feels really nice? I have to say, that I assumed it would have repercussions going forward on Two and the Android’s relationship, with Shaw being a one-off character. But since she’s not dead, I would love if they continued with that somehow? Given the post-ep SpoilerTV interview with the showrunner, there’s perhaps a chance of that?
Regardless, taking a character I love so much an making her canonically so in love with a woman, nothing can take that away from me.

It’s not the android that we know, but the human Irena Shaw who created the Android (and many others, and in fact, partly, Rebecca herself). The Android we know looks like Irena.
Rebecca and Irena were gay together, yes, lol. Rebecca was a special new kind of advanced organism Irena was hired to help create, then Irena realized she was more than just a Thing and freed her and started to help other androids. In the meantime, they…fell in love.

STV: We need to talk about Dr. Shaw. Did the Rebecca and Dr. Shaw thing come about because of the chemistry between Melissa and Zoie or has it always been in the works since the beginning when you were imagining the show?
JM: It’s kind of been in the works, but it certainly helps that Melissa and Zoie do have great chemistry. If you look back you can see that it’s kind of hinted at throughout this season so it’s throughout the show. There is a special connection between her and the Android for some reason. It’s something we hint at kind of subtly through their interactions, but also when we talk about the backstory and the fact that again and again, Portia made her who she is and such. Like most everything in Dark Matter, it’s kind of an endgame in mind. And a lot of the stuff we threw out there may seem sort of random but, hopefully, all of it will come together and pay off at series end.
Hmmmmmmmmm. But yay, f/f chemistry. Canon f/f relationship involving a main character.
Then they talk about maybe Two not being able to connect with One and Three past their sexual liaisons because some part of her was always still thinking of Dr. Shaw.
Omg, they’re paralleling Three/Sarah with Two/Irena.
STV: I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot of Two and Android stuff coming up. That’s what it is sounding like.
JM: Possibly. Possibly.
Man, I dgaf about Alternate Portia. Well. She is hot. Omg, what if she has an even more tragic story with her Dr. Shaw.
I hope Dr. Shaw doesn’t side with Victor…I don’t want her to be evil. Though, I didn’t expect her to live out this episode so there’s that.
STV: Could something bad happen to him be the reason we saw the Android being consoled by Two in the flash forward?
JM: Could be. Could be. Again, anything is possible.
STV: It kind of felt as the episode was winding down that Two felt something in regards to Shaw, but didn’t express it. Could she make some deeper connection with Shaw if they meet in the future, which I’m going to guess they probably will. Do you think there is a potential for them to strike up a relationship or is Two just too far different from Rebecca for Shaw to be able to see Rebecca in her?
JM: I think she’s very different, but you know, that may not very necessarily preclude the possibility of a relationship. I’m really hesitant to shut the door on any potential relationship this early on. Or basically, I should say I’m hesitant to commit to something either way in an interview this early on.
YOU BETTER NOT KILL HER.
Well. It is…quite open, I suppose. I just hope he’s being honest in just what kind of possibilities they’re considering and not just giving lip service, you know?
