Re: Dark Matter (2024) (Scifi, Apple TV+)

I'm recovering from surgery and on some pretty strong painkillers so things are a little fuzzy. 

▼Spoiler

When did we go from 2 Jasons to however many we have now all in this universe? Was that introduced in episode 7?

I hope the surgery went well and you have a speedy recovery, wishing you all the best man. Check your PM's.

As for your spoiler...

it was the end of 1x7 and all of 1x8 that multiple Jason's showed up, so much fun!

Re: Dark Matter (2024) (Scifi, Apple TV+)

1x9 Entanglement - Predictable, and played out how I'd assume it would go, and didn't do much to subvert my expectations.  Oddly, the Premiere and Finale episodes were the weakest of the season for me.  This episode proved that box travel is still a necessary hook to engage an audience in this story, as Jason and Daniella are kinda boring without it.

▼Spoiler

You'd think real Jason and Daniella would've had longer more frantic conversations about what each other went through while they were apart instead of so much B roll of them driving.  I would've used the drive as an opportunity for exposition, to flesh out where they were at with each other.  Perhaps fear and anxiety, and not talking about it, are more likely in that situation, but it is a show, and I'd want a better conversation then what we got.

Also, the hook of the show is travelling through the box, and that didn't happen til the end, so the episode just didn't interest me.  Enjoyed the infinite regress of Jasons, even though I called that in episode 7.

Evil Jason having a change of heart, vowing to set things right, ended the show on an upbeat, which was refreshing.

Would love a season 2.

I kind of expected

more doubt from Daniela. Like questioning if he is 'her' Jason. She kinda fell into it a bit too easily.

I also liked seeing the pain of the other Jasons, because they truely believed they should be with her and their "wife" was being taken away from them. That must be super hard for them to see.

I think Season 2 can explore a world of Jasons and the fact the Ryan and Amanda are in the same world - which i noticed in the episode where Ryan was dropped off. The question is, how does he know Amanda?

Ya, I agree...

▼Spoiler

...like, we never got the sense that he was the "real" Jason, I was expecting a conversation that way, and a lot of other conversations just like that but they didn't write any, so the episode landed really flat to me between Jason and Daniella.

That Ryan and Amanda moment had to be set up for season 2 because it was really out of no where and didn't track with the rest of the story.

Season 1 is a solid 8/10.

I don't even recall how much I liked 1x1, but yes, the finale wasn't so hot. It made me look forward less to a possible next season.

I really enjoyed it but don't need a season 2.

They finished the story as far as I'm concerned, its over, let it rest.

Decent ending, I enjoyed it.
Cancelled/Ended now, it makes sense I suppose.

Yes, it was set to Cancelled/Ended (because of thetvdb.com), but I can't find any news confirming that. Weird.

Re: Dark Matter (2024) (Scifi, Apple TV+)

I've read somewhere that they are still thinking about a season 2.  It's only one book but I know they won't that stop them from cashing in, and they clearly left it open for another season.

I'd be fine with it ending how it did though.

2020.  Meh.

Re: Dark Matter (2024) (Scifi, Apple TV+)

I would rather have had a new season of Dark Matter with Zoie Palmer, Melissa O'Neil, Anthony Lemke, & Alex Mallari Jr... Too soon for another show by the same name, for me.

I may watch it in a few years. Maybe.

Re: Dark Matter (2024) (Scifi, Apple TV+)

Just started this tonight, got as far as episode 3 and canned it. My lowly intellect would have seen that all was not what it seemed pretty quickly, it doesn't take a genius, if given my line of work (assume i'm a theoretical physicist), what I know about the theroies i've done work on (says in ep 2 I think something like 'He did it! He did what I was working on', that I could be in an alternate universe, but it takes this genius SOOO long.

And then, when he realises (after reading his alternates notes from his alternate house) what does he do or say? Nothing. In fact, communication (or total lack thereof) seems to be the theme of this particular series. So much could have been explained to him right at the beginning, if of course he, and they (the people that think its a good idea to put somone who's just returned from 'somewhere' after months and months into a goldfish bowl with people staring at him) acted realistcally, which of course does not happen.

Wasted a couple of hours of my life on this nonsense!

First I got excited when I seen the title Dark Matter.

But it was only because I thought it was this.

https://next-episode.net/dark-matter-2015

So I grabbed all 9 episodes of Dark Matter 2024. I have no idea what its about. I fell asleep during  the first episode and second. It is boring and slow as heck for me. I do not see what you people see. I am just super glad I did not have to sub to a streaming service so I could check it out.

This one is going in the trash. Hope you guys and gals who like it, get a well deserved second season.
