  • Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Dark Matter Season 1.
    Apple TV+'s sci-fi adaptation Dark Matter has concluded Season 1, but is that all there is to the story? According to author and showrunner Blake Crouch and executive producer Matt Tolmach (Venom: The Last Dance), yes, Season 1 was created to be "the best representation of the book as possible." However, a series format opens a whole box of possibilities, and Crouch isn't opposed to exploring more characters. In fact, maybe that even leaves room to revisit Alice Braga's (Queen of the South) fan-favorite, Amanda Lucas?
    In addition to Braga, Dark Matter stars Joel Edgerton (The Gift), who brings Crouch's original character, Jason Dessen, to life on the screen as he travels through alternate realities in search of his true home and family. Other characters, some expanded for the show, include Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly's (A Beautiful Mind) Daniela Vargas Dessen, Jimmi Simpson's (Westworld) Ryan Holder, Dayo Okeniyi's (See) Leighton Vance, and Oakes Fegley (The Fabelmans) as Jason and Daniela's son Charlie.
    During their interview, Crouch and Tolmach discuss the likelihood that the "wrong" Jason returns in the end, what World 26 is, where the Dessen family ultimately ends up, and what changed throughout the editing process. Crouch explains why Season 1's finale is a "love letter" to all his book fans and shares which of his works he's eyeing for adaptations next, and Tolmach reveals why Sony's Kraven the Hunter moved its release date.

    1:36 "If you do statistics, it's not the Jason that left, it's a different version..." I'm going to say a HARD no to this claim. EVERY Jason that came back IS the Jason that left and they all left THIS world. All of these Jasons are from choices made after Jason 2 kidnapped Jason 1. For the audience, the only question is whether the Jason that finds his family is the same Jason we have followed each week and they did confirm that was the intent. We did follow one Jason and saw his choices and we can only infer or occasionally hear about the choices other Jason 1s made.

      Yeah, they're all the Jason's that got abducted at the start. They all just happen to be the only ones who arrived at that time slot. There's probably so many more Jason's yet to arrive. But also there's probably many versions of this 'homeworld' still to be discovered by the Jasons.

    DARK MATTER MATTERS. This was a brilliant series It would have made a great movie too, but it was a delightful romp into speculative fiction and sci-fi worlds that worked perfectly in 9 episodes. IT HAD ONE OF THE BEST FINAL EPISODE OF ANY DRAMATIC SERIES I'VE SEEN. Everything in the dramatic arc and plot was resolved with an ethical and purposeful understanding between the main characters and their struggles and choices, AND it left the series open to future adventures. We want MORE. No knee-jerk painful cliffhangers. No selling out the integrity of the characters and their transformative arc for another knee-jerk gut-wrenching plot twist. NO. This series was suspenseful and kept the viewer on edge with the twists and turns of the plot. BUT we care about all of the characters. We can breathe a sigh of relief as characters struggle to grow, know, and come up against challenges, choices, and ethical and emotional dilemmas to understand themselves, their potential, and each other. I hate investing time and energy into plots that blow up characters and narrative arcs for mere shock effect rather than transformative choices and narrative evolution. What a relief. This series kept us engaged throughout and asked big questions that MATTER. DARK MATTER MATTERS. It did not disappoint. Blake Crouch, Matt Tolmach, and the team behind this series are amazing! Thanks, Matt, Blake, and team, and thanks AppleTV+.

      If you pause the screen at the end you can see multiple Jasons with the string IIRC. I was more paying attention to their faces. I didn't watch all the episodes in a row so I might be wrong, but throughout most of the series J1-Protagonist has bruises and cuts from his interrogation a month ago. The J1 that gets into the box doesn't have these to my recall and the J1 that calls to the other J1s to let them through does. I'm not saying they switched protags, especially not since the creators themselves contradict this in this very video, but it is interesting.

    How can the creators not understand that there is no sense in saying there is an original Jason? The whole point of the science in this fiction is that they are ALL the original Jasons. These are not clones, where there is an original. They are all branches from the same original Jason, but ALL Jasons are continuous with him.

    I still have not found an answer to the plot "sinkhole": Who built the box in other realities?
    Jason2 built a box in his reality (world2). The contents of that box achieve superposition when not observed enabling the contents to move to a different reality (world#). The box cannot achieve superposition as it is observed so the box is not moving. SO, where are the other boxes coming from?

    • @ctvxl
      @ctvxl 7 дней назад +1

      Yes, I have had the same exact question. At the end of the day, It is just one more thing you have to accept as normal to how the "science" of this works. But I really wish they had given some explanation as to how every world they visit ends up having a permanent box.
      To me, it would have been much more 'realistic' if the box in the new world would disappear after the drug wears off or something like that. Requiring Jason to actually build a new box in that world to travel again. But I can see where that would have been very difficult from a plot perspective.

    Also, why were there thousands of copies of Jason on the return journey in the final, but only one "evil" Jason that came to this universe in the beginning? Is it because the "evil" Jason thought of a world that fit his specific description, making it close to impossible for any other evil Jasons that wanted to go to the same world, to think of that specific world? This is contrary to what happened with the original Jasons. They all got to the exact same universe because they had already lived their whole identical life in this universe. But i don't know

There could also be spread of plagues and diseases between universes on a large scale. And wars between different universes. There are many possibilities.
