I'm probably late to the show (as I've been late to Traveller, only finally getting my own copy of the core rules a few years ago despite getting into gaming back in the early 80s, and just getting the Mongoose core rules months before they came out with a second edition...), BUT today as I was eating lunch and trying to decide what to watch from my enormous Netflix queue, I settled on a science fiction show called "Dark Matter."
If you haven't seen it, it's pretty much Traveller, guys. In fact, it seems like a pretty cool campaign set-up for a bunch of players who aren't terribly familiar with the Traveller Universe and are learning about it bit by bit. The main characters all wake up from hibernation on a starship in the middle of nowhere, with no memory of who they are or where they are.
I've only just finished the second episode, but it's already gotten me jonesing to watch the new Traveller 2e Twitch livestream...

Dark Matter is based on a graphic novel of the same name from the Dark Horse stable - well worth a read Aaron
