August 25th, 2017 was a bittersweet day for Dark Matter fans. The show’s third season finale Nowhere to Go aired on SYFY in the U.S, and, after 12 weeks of deep space twists, turns, betrayals and redemptions, our heroes onboard the Raza were staring down the proverbial barrel of yet another threat to them and the rest of humankind. Some mega-menacing looking spaceships piloted by equally-menacing black alien blobs emerged through a spatial anomaly and into our universe. Of course, these extraterrestrial nasties had no idea of the bad-ass butt-kicking that awaited them from the Raza crew.
Sadly, another dark force was silently lurking in the wings and waiting to sideline our intergalactic do-gooders – none other than that most-feared nemesis of all TV shows. Yes, you guessed it, cancellation. After a stellar season, which included some damn high ratings, Dark Matter was axed. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and The Android were cut down in their prime, but their fans were having none of that. Using social media, viewers around the world rallied and stormed cyberspace. Last Friday, September 8th, we Tweeted #RockThe Raza like crazy, and people took notice. Afterwards, series co-creator/executive producer/writer Joe Mallozzi shared some encouraging news about the show's POSSIBLE future with us via his blog, so all is not yet lost. There is still a long road ahead, but that has never stopped Sci-Fi fans before. We are a hardy and persistent bunch, and more Tweet events supporting Dark Matter and, hopefully, its fourth (and maybe fifth) season are planned. Even those who are not especially tech-minded (myself included) can participate, so if you haven’t already, start following @DarkMatterFTL on Twitter to stay in the loop!

We will fight for The Raza,for as long as it needed, or until it's gets bothersome. Then we will double our efforts until "They" will have to renew/pickup Dark Matter just to shut us up. #RocktheRaza
