In light of the Wikileaks debacle, “Dark Matter” comes at an opportune time. We see the effects of leaking classified information–widespread unrest–and the fact is, for diplomacy to happen, it must be conducted under a veil of secrecy. However, there is also the need for tight governmental scrutiny which is not applied to Division, which is why it’s out of control, not just because it keeps secrets.
“Dark Matter” is an awesome episode with a truly global scale as Nikita and Owen travel across the world to rescue a CIA analyst. In the process, they get captured by the US military but manage to escape. The whole experience builds the trust between them, and by the end of the episode, they consider each other partners.
Alex and Jaden fought again, but not enough time was given to develop the plot. While Alex spies on the Engineer and Birkoff, Jaden traps her in there and tries to find the picture, but finds some plastic thing instead. Is it a thumbprint?
Score: 9.1/10
