I normally love Ruth Negga but Tulip's appeal faded real quick.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Yeah, I don't love Tulip. She's badass, but needs to let go of that thirst.

I just finished episode 3 and I'm still loving Tulip.

I want her to get a motivation other than Jesse.

She was really interesting and cool in the pilot, and then she became Barnacle Girlfriend.

Worked out to Dark Matter 2.1 today prior to my twice monthly needle in the eye. Is the acne ad part of the program? With my poor vision I can't read any text in shows. If I could have read the text I would have seen that the acne remedy was a GTA product or shipped from another solar system or something, true? Cause in real life nobody would sell an acne remedy with instructions to call a doctor immediately "if your nails become blue or your lips melt . " Also no real life acne product would list anemia and turning your hair orange as possible side effects. right?

I definitely know someone whose hair turned orange from an acne product. Just the part of her hair that touched the acne cream, though, so it was only her eyebrows and her hairline.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Benzoyl peroxide, the active ingredient in a lot of acne creams, is also used to bleach hair.
I watched a dl'd copy of Dark Matter, and didn't see the ad.
I probably should've rewatched the S1 finales for both DM and Killjoys before watching the new eps. Especially Killjoys because I got sucked in by D'Avin's "memory", and didn't start to realize I'd been had until the romantic music started to come up in the background (nice touch, though). It's a shame that Clara and Alice didn't hang around. They had some terrific chemistry with both John and Lucy.

It was more the part about *lips* *melting* that freaked me. Turns out the ad was real (not much doubt after DJ watched the show and did not see the commercial). The product is ACzone. And I gather they don't expect the side effect in topical use; but the product does produce" oxic epidermal necrolysis" sometimes in oral use. Toxic epidermal necrolysis according to WikiPedia is when the entire upper layer of skin peels off the body; early symptom occur in the lips which includes severe blistering and peeling that could be colloquially described as "Lips melting". Lips and nails turning blue is another symptom. I had always assumed that drug warnings included symptoms that were rare but had been noted in actual use as recommended. Did not realize that those warnings include symptoms that have only been observed in what would be misuse of the product, such as eating something intended to be applied topically. But I suppose it makes sense, cause of kids, people confused for various medical or recreational reasons and so on. Plus a study might miss a rare sensitivity, so that for one in 100,000 people you end up with side effects from topical use that in the study only happened from oral use...

But warning you to immediately call a doctor if your lips melt or your nails turn blue definitely makes the product sound very freaky.
