Absolutely mind-f***ing episode. This has become my favorite show of the year! Hands down. Can't help not to think this is what multiverse of madness should have been....
PLEASEEEE read the book if you’ve enjoyed the show!!! I read it back in college and it’s been my favorite ever since. The show coming out made my whole year lol.
I have a wild theory about this series... maybe it's too wild and not based on the book... but I've always had this crazy theory in my head since episode 7... WHAT IF IT TURNS OUT, JASON WAS JUST DREAMING ALL THIS TIME... THE REAL JASON IS JASON WHERE HE WAS SLEEPING WITH DANIELA...AND HER SON MAX WAS SAVED... ???? when Jason 1 saw Jason sleeping with Daniela... and went downstairs to meet his son Max... I think that was the real Jason, and he was just dreaming all this time... ...I think this whole series is all about family... what if my child dies? what if daniela becomes this? what if if if if?... same as "what if" MCU series...Let's not focus too much on how Jason can return to his world... but we focus on the elements and lines that exist during this series... because we focus too much on the multiverse and how Jason will return to his world... but forget that this series is not only about the multiverse ..but about FAMILY!! nothing is impossible... there have been many series like this and the ending is very mindblowing and really leaves us speechless.. such a "DARK & 1899"
I doubt it. It’s based on a book, not that it isn’t possible, but it wouldn’t be nearly as good as the first season since this entire show is tightly following the book itself.
We’ve been following Jason 1.1 as our primary protagonist the whole time, any deviations happened not to our knowledge until now. So based on bias we are inclined to feel for the one we’ve been following all along and he’s most likely going to win because he’s the only one thinking out the box, i.e that cigar plan (catch my pun)
@@iliketurtles9719 They’re all the Jason from episode 1 but altered by different choices and experiences. However we follow this Jason’s experiences and choices so he’s our Jason from episode 1.
@@tomlawal7991but how do you know he is the Jason we have been following in the series? Just because he was the first to talk to her doesn't mean it is the one we have been following.
@@rickyn4710well you will find out in the next episode won’t you. It all depends if the director wants to put a final dark twist on things which in my opinion would be great. There is nothing like a movie or TV series ending with the viewers head all twisted up. Happy endings are boring.
Me too, but I also don't want a huge cliffhanger. Because I don't know how well this show is actually doing, and streaming shows get canceled way too often. I'm nervous this show will too. Cuz I'm loving it.
@438019 I'm following the story, just finding the show unpredictable. Any show that keeps me guessing, surprised, interested and entertained by where it goes keeps me watching. Not to mention the theoretical quantum physics that I'm aware of but not even close to being able to understand. I like the breakdowns for the little details I may have missed such as ten Jason's where I'd only noticed six or various writings in the background when I'm tunnel vision on the story.
The thing to keep in mind about Jason 2 murdering the other Jason. Is that when they dust for prints, they'll probably only find prints from one person that probably will match the victim. They all look the same, so I'm assuming they have the same prints. So it would be harder for them to find the murderer. Plus even weirder is there will be a bunch of Jason's running around even if they use video or whatever to know who the murderer was.
The university of Chicago was the worst place Jason 2 could have done that but there was no choice. Once investigators ID the body it would place more scrutiny on Daniella and Charlie as they will be first people the authorities will be looking for to ensure their wellbeing.
Think about how that Jason died tho and what Jason 2 did with the body. He choked him out. So died of asphyxiation. Jason 2 then set him on a toilet in a stall and locked the door from the outside. When the body is eventually discovered, it will have no ID and look like a homeless person came in and died in the stall. There will be no other DNA or fingerprints on scene but Jason's. The police might not even investigate it as murder. Homeless people do often go into libraries and use the restrooms for cleaning up and such. The body in the trunk of the car is the big one if found and will leave a full on investigation that will result in confusing issues for the police...
@@raemill4089 you forgot the important piece when police call them about dead Jason,they will be standing next to the other Jason mind blowing lol like how can that be he is right here !!!
At first I thought he was smoking in the restaurant because he wasn't the original Jason, but rather a Jason from a world where smoking wasn't banned everywhere. Lol.
This is a big problem for Daniela coz honestly all those Jason's spawned from the box are also Jason prime.....so all of them have all the memories they shared with her.... including the night he got kidnapped
that's why the real jason1 asked daniela to make a code call only the two of them know... Jupiter...and daniela also already knows , if she meets another jason.. they must be meeting daniela for the first time ... like jason who was hit by a car with daniela & charlie...that's why when daniela met another jason...jason must have said that he last saw daniela after that night at the bar..
@@Sickheadz268 He just made up the code word at the police station. Any alternative Jason that saw her first could have made up a code word. It doesn't mean it's the Jason we have been following.
At this point all those new Jasons are suitable for Danila and Charlie because they were all kidnapped and the only difference is the events after entering the box . Technically they are all her husband and there really is no way of distinguishing the original from the copies . Absolutely fascinating and really the only sci show that realistically deals with the multi verse issue .
That's the tragic quandary of it. Every one of these variants who splintered off from the kidnapped Jason Prime - they all do technically belong here, but there's only room for one. It's sad when you think about it.
@@TheBoomshine each decision creates a different universe. If this is true there are probably also different versions of Jason 2 also . This series is trippy but great
i dunno but i find it very underexplained... if they all split from a "prime" at a different decision point each, then shouldn't those _worlds_ also split? shouldn't they each have a unique world which they belong to? why would they all belong to the same world? feels extremely inconsistent to me. the usurper actively chose to leave "his" world to enter the "prime's" world, therefore usurper's world is _missing_ a jason, by choice. technically, there could be a usurper world two where he doesn't choose to leave, but that's fine cos that split would have exactly one jason to that world still. but regardless of where/when else the prime "clones" get split, they should also have a world each that split from that exact decision point. this also means that any of them could have "turned dark" at any one of the many times our jason prime actually had dark thoughts during his journey. this also also means that there are infinity more jasons out there who never made it back, some of them turning into usurpers themselves and usurping other fresh new jasons, starting entire new chains of infinities.
@@alveolate "i dunno but i find it very underexplained... if they all split from a "prime" at a different decision point each, then shouldn't those worlds also split? shouldn't they each have a unique world which they belong to? why would they all belong to the same world? feels extremely inconsistent to me." Yes they should, and the show only has two explanations for this. All of the other Jason 1's are actually still the same Jason and belong to this Daniella. This answer sucks because if Jason 1 splits after that day, then so should that many Daniella's be split off also. It doesnt make sense that all copies of Jason1s (IN THEIR OWN REALITY) do not have a corresponding Daniella. The 2nd answer is that all of these Jasons don't actually belong to this world, but this is just an overflow of Jason1s that almost got their world right...and are stuck here and doing it anyway. This sounds like a viable answer, but narratively I think it's messy and not super engaging. I'm pretty sure they're leaning towards the first answer, and I'm not really a fan of it. "this also means that any of them could have "turned dark" at any one of the many times our jason prime actually had dark thoughts during his journey. this also also means that there are infinity more jasons out there who never made it back, some of them turning into usurpers themselves and usurping other fresh new jasons, starting entire new chains of infinities." Yup they even hint at that in the episode where he's in the hotel with Amanda. He says he's afraid he'll simply take any other Daniella that isn't his from another Jason.
i think the only we can differentiate between them is their ring finger all the deviations have a black one and the original has the original one! also the jupiter one is the one we were following because his Amanda found a place she wanted to stay
In the episode I went back and watched the hand for ring finger and the only other one that looked like they had the hair tie was the one they got in the car with. I'd assume that Jason 1 we have been watching is the one who did the cigar trick because the other one hot wired a car and I can't see the one we've been watching do that.
yup, but there is still the possipilty of new Jasons after Amanda finding the place, cuz he made more decisions before returning to his original Chicago , so no original Jason here, ALL ARE ORIGINALS
I'm thinking that they definitely go back to the box with the ampoules from the storage facility, but Jason 1 can't choose, since all the other Jasons, including Jason2 would think just like him. So, maybe Daniela would have to make the choice of where to go in the corridor. Maybe the easier solution is for them to use the box with the explicit purpose of making copies of Daniela and Charlie for all the other Jasons, maybe even get Max to the box to make some copies of him too, but just making 1 copy would duplicate them exponentially. It really is Kinko's Pandora's Box.
The bit with Jason’s bartender friend in the Village Tap frustrated the hell out of me 😤 They’ve known each other for a while so how could the bartender not even ask a question when he suddenly sees two identical Jasons in his bar? The way they fudged that really took me out of the episode….
I'm pretty sure the christmas sweater Jason appeared back in the episode were Jason and Amanda entered a completely frozen world. I remember when they were back in the box they showed them and Jason had the same exact sweater. They went back to Jason 2 on the OG world, and back to the box to a no-sweater Jason. I was really confused at first since Jason had fully changed clothes and it seemed unlogical, i now understand that it might have been sweater Jason showing up since that episode.. maybe the 5th one? don't remember honestly, but i'ts cool to realize that haha :)
The last Jason who said the safe word "Jupiter" is the Jason we've been following since episode 1. Some people are saying, we can't know which Jason is the real one because they are all same but actually we can. The Jason who said the safe word is the one whose Amanda stayed where she wanted. Also, he should have a photo of him and Amanda (A couple took a picture of them at a bar and gave it to Jason, if anyone forgot). This photo can later be used as a proof and if Amanda appears in the final episode, she could recognize the real Jason through the photo.
even the photo is not a proof , cuz afterwards he left with 5 more ampules so more 5 variable choices which can results in production of more Jasons having the same photo and memory with Amanda .
As soon as I saw J1 stare down the hallway at another Jason, I got Get Out vibes. On one hand it's sci-fi... but even mores, psychological horror drama. Outstanding!
What makes "Jupiter Jason" so different from all the other Jasons trying to get back to Daniella? Daniella will never be able to tell who really is "her" Jason. "Jupiter Jason" just got lucky.
Most likely his reaction, first he made sure to meet her in a way she would not feel in danger (in a police station) then when he was with his son, without saying anything else he hugged him. The first black jacket Jason was focused in Daniela without caring about his son, the other one put their life in danger by crashing into them. The one that was killed at the university had a fcked leg and a part of his face burn didn't cared to do it in a place where his son was. By being send into another dimension he created a new waypoint in timeline so yeah it'll be pretty messy because they are ALL the prime Jason, only their adventures changed them, only the one that's still pure at this point and never did a bad action is the original prime jason because he was the one that was the perfect husband abd father 🤷
Cause that was the first one that got kidnapped. He’s the one that caused all the other jason’s to spawn when he first went into the box with amanda when they escaped velocity
@@MrGoldenFoldIn the episode I went back and watched the hand for ring finger and the only other one that looked like they had the hair tie was the one they got in the car with.

@@ChillAroundAndFindOut i think otherwise, like they said each timeline create somes tiny variation of them, most likely each important event create a kind of waypoint in the timeline. Look at the prime jason, the moment he took the box he created a bunch if variants of him like the one that was killed in the bathroom had a burnt face, a fcked leg and his last partner dead. The one that crashed the car is not the prime Jason too because he crashed their car to get what he wanted and the one that was driving isn't the prime jason too because he focused on Daniela and didn't cared about his son. What that say to us is the fact that they lived other adventures then what we saw all along because our prime jason didn't did anything wrong and was always pure, he was always only the father that missed his family and didn't had any kind of trauma except the fact that his family was took from him, he isn't a killer. I believe at this point that the only one that can find whom is whom is his partner he left on the other dimension + the Ryan that was left in the same dimension aswell. Ryan can probably with his new dimension tech and his knowledge make the box run again so we will probably see him the next episode and they will have to make things right i guess 🤷
Technically, all of those Jason are Jason 1 except the Jason 2. As seen in this case there's no more original Jason from this world as himself has become relative which means all those versions of Jason are the same Jason who opened doors into different worlds and experiences differently the moment he starts travelling into different worlds, in fact every of his actions. Everyone of those Jason (except Jason 2) could claim they're Jason 1 according to them ( as their experience is relative to them ) This is mind blowing 😅🤯 it would get crazier if they involved time travel within the multiverse. Whoever is creating this series is a genius.
Saying that I was actually thinking this is the superposition version of a paradox. Sort of like the time travel variation where one might run into alternate versions of oneself from different points in time.
Really liked this episode. I’ve grown up near the UofC campus so this was a hoot. Also, I like how Daniela is written she’s not an idiot clueless wife. And how did they shoot the Bean without reflecting the film crew? Can they erase themselves in post?🤔
I love that they put the end of the show on the main poster for the show such a cool and kind of funny wink at those of us who have read the book I could not wait to get to this point and see the reactions of people who have never read the book
I think this is the best episode in dark matter yet. In the first half i didnt understand anything but then i was shocked. Im typing this before finishing the video i think the real Jason will take his family and go to another world but not in the near future cause he doesnt have impules maybee he will go to the world amanda stayed in or maybe amanda will save them again
@@debbieeee23 are F’ing kidding me?! lol. I mean yeah in this chaos that could be true … but he is the guy we’ve been following in that outfit. ? He was the guy sitting down with other Jason for beer. If he is not true Jason then idk where our main guy is. lol. We shall see!!!!! Aaaaaaah
I think the bigger question is ... which Jason did Daniela knock out? Alternate versions of that Jason likely exist as well. That part I think is as trippy as the diff versions of the Jason we've been cheering for.
You know why I love this too? It remind me of “The one” with jet li back in the day. He went across the multiverse eliminating every version of himself. This is a modern take with less kung fu. I love the premise.
All Jasons (except for J2) are her actual husband! Its nuts. Imagine being stalked/chased by an infinite amount of clones of your partner 😬Probably best to get divorced at this point or pick one and disappear.
I think they will try to go to the world where Jasons partner Amanda decided to stay in. It’s like a utopia version of the prime world and would make sense for the dessen family. I also think that world she is in is possibly where jay2 sent pavia award Charlie to. From a tv stand point it sets those characters up for a story line for a future season if they do it. Also don’t forget Jason snuck 2 ampoules in Amanda’s bag when they split. That could be how she and Ryan return to prime world. I didn’t read the books and love to post theories. Just a thought from the rabbit hole! Enjoy!
I would think that all the copies of Jason2 he made along the way to this world would have no reason to go this one, they don't know about it. They are probably kidnapping their own Jason in another variation of this world and taking over their life like this one did life.
Also while Jason 2 was in the stalking phase (events that happen before and in episode 1 itself) there would have been many Jason 2's who would have also came out the same box. This Jason 2 would have had the time to tackle them. That means we are seeing one of many Jason 2s that survived
This is genius- technically ALL of these Jason variants who splintered off after the kidnapping belong here- it's tragic for them. And since they all have the exact same memories of this world before the kidnapping, we honestly can't be 100% sure that it was Jason Prime who reunited with Daniela and Charlie. There could be one who looks exactly the same. We saw one with the same outfit and a pinky bandage. What if there's another who looks like a carbon copy? I can't think of a way for the characters or the viewer to ever know for sure because even if this Jason starts talking about a universe he went to that we never saw, we know that Jason Prime went to many other universes than the ones that were depicted. (Frankly, that was so entertaining that I wish they'd continued finding insanely different worlds for a while. Sliders built a whole series of of just that.)
Okay, but why are we saying that Jason Prime (1) was kidnapped multiple times? He wasn't, right? So when was the actual moment the original Jason Prime started to get duplicated? Did the evil Jason 2 actually try several times to kidnap Jason 1, and each one ended differently so that those Jason 1s were released into different worlds from the corridoor and are all trying to get back? For all we know, there might be a universe where he just killed Jason 1. Either on purpose or by accident. But then again, wouldn't killing Jason 1 be the easiest solution, as long as his body is never found in the same world.
Why I think Jupiter Jason is OG Jason (in addition to the more obvious things like the scar, headband ring): At the bar, OG Jason takes a box of matches with a bear or tiger on it. At the diner, this is the same box of matches that was used to light the cigar. This indicates that this Jason is the OG Jason, in my opinion. Another thought: The Jason1 clone at the bar said that he came a day earlier than OG Jason1 and he had lost his Amanda in another reality. For one, OG Jason’s affection for Amanda really was holding him back from finding his reality. Nonetheless, I do feel like his time with her was useful as she kept him grounded, plus she’s a therapist. Some of the other Jason clones seem more erratic, more impulsive. I wonder if it’s the same theory of clone-making where the duplicates can deviate from the original and become inferior. I.e, OG Jason is the best version but when he made the decision to stay with Daniella when he found out he was pregnant, Jason2 splintered off but his version is more impulsive, selfish, etc. Likewise, the other jasons that splintered off from the quests in the box seem more impulsive, vengeful, raging and less calculating. Of course, this could also be from the treacherous experiences that they’ve had making them on edge and desperate.
real jason has a rubberband on his finger and it was the one that picked them up and crashed look at his hand in the begining of the video and tell me what you think im confused too
After having seen 8 episodes, they leave many loose ends. I don't think it's a self-contained series. The plot of the two Ryans is open, that of the scientist who was trapped in the dead world is open, that of the multiple Jasons is open, that of the guy who got lost in the box is still open. I don't think they close that many plots in a single episode. I just think they'll close the Jason 1 story.
Look, Let me get something into the perspective of everyone. If One Rich Jason wanted to kidnap one Average Jason from one timeline to another, there might be other Rich Jasons who might have made the same decision to kidnap other Average Jasons from other timelines. As in a multiverse of branches each and every decision you make branches off into another reality! This means all the different Jasons are from different timelines altogether. What's interesting is that in the primary universe of the Rich Jason and all the Average Jasons, all end up in the same universe or it seems as it is. If the decisions made inside the Shrohindeger's box may make Varients of itself in superposition then there might be other timelines that branch off where the other Jasons or all other versions of Jasons are from. Because it would create a completely different timeline even if you're inside the box, it should not revert to the same timeline over and over again. It's an interesting theory as to why everyone ended up in the same timeline, might be because they all feel a sense of longing in this exact same timeline. It's hard to understand why they cannot go to the timeline they created by being inside the box, if they can branch off so can the timeline.
What if cigar Jason is Jason 2.1? He asked Daniella to communicate a relative question that wasn’t true anyway but could have used something that actually happened before the switch, to make Daniella more at ease. Instead he makes up a trip knowing the way Jason 2 would respond.
@stalsthetic9500 Same reason there’s multiple Jason 1’s from different choices. 2 has been in and out of that box countless times himself including the times he wondered for a year and was reported missing from his own universe.
@@GarciaEnterprises yeah but why would he risk his life in this world? Jason 2 doesn't want Daniela 1 specifically, he just wants any Daniela in any world he is married to. Even if he accidentally came to this world, he'll just leave seeing all the chaos going on. Jason 2 doesn't love Daniela
Enjoying this show a lot. I am seeing a path where Jason^1 and Daniella/Charlie go back into the box to find Ryan^1. Which seemed to be (based on appearance) the SAME world where Amanda decided to stay. Looping her back into the equation.
They should all have the nose scar since it occurred before they began splintering. Also, he put the rubber band on pretty early so there should be some others with the rubber band too.
Jason 1, our main Jason, has a tiny scar on the left side of his nose that he got from a fight which tells you that it's the right Jason, the one she exchanged the code word Jupiter with. They are finally reunited as a family, even if Daniela and Charlie are still skeptical.
But there are other Jason 1’s with nose scars, and we’ve been following more than one scarred Jason 1. Both Jason 1’s who go to the weapon store have scars on their noses.
I think you're right about 10 Jason 1's... It's going to be very interesting how they wrap this up, or at least how episode 9 ends. It'd be awesome if they do a Season 2. Aside from a very interesting story, I never get tired of watching Jennifer Connelly. Hands down, the most gorgeous actress in Hollywood today and she's going to be beautiful well into "old age". Even better, she's very intelligent... Paul Bettany is one lucky dude!
Rick and Morty explain this episode when they splinter realities from every decision they make. I wonder if the time keepers will come and place a collar on Jason Prime lol
How do we know the Jason at the end of the episode is Jason 1? The impression I’m getting from this episode is that there are potentially infinite Jasons now. My other concern is wondering if all these other jasons are the ones the usurper screwed over, or if we now have just infinite usurpers too?
I believe so but honestly, it really doesn't matter since he's seemingly the kindest one in my opinion not on a murderous rampage just wants to be with his fam and as I'm writing this all the other non murderous jasons might be just like tht one dammit i really don't kno😂😂😂
AAAAHHHHHHHH! SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD, at first I'm thinking Jason 2 has done this a few time just trying to find the perfect Daniela and Charlie. But NO! Mutha F*%ING M.Night Shyamalan twist Infinte Jasons. GOD DAMN!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Another week WE need our Dark Matter crack!
He’d been gone for 18months before emerging in Jason 1’s world. I bet he was stealing the lives of the other Jasons, as well as figuring out the box (though since he created it, knew all along how to control it).
@finfog4590 Watch the part where the two Jasons are having a beer. Every decision Jason Prime made in the box created another Jason and all those Jasons and all their decisions created infinite Jasons. JUST SO GOOD!
Wow... What a great show with great ideas and this episode is just mind blowing. Had me scared a bit when the Jason got killed by bad Jason but it turns out it was just a variant... CRAZZZZZY
One of these Jasons have to go back to Amanda. Also Jason 8 is probably going to hold Jason 1 at gunpoint now that Jason 1 has Daniela, but his need for revenge might get him to change target to Jason 2.
The perfect end would be : Jason, wife and son leave this World using the box for a World in which all 3 of them are dead but where Max is alive (the dead twin brother). This end would be beauuuuutiful ! Please make this happen ! Anyworld is possible if you know how to Travel, and now Jason 1 knows the way the box works. Imagine the all 4 of them United again ... 😊 PS : and Bad Jason 2 gets stuck in the most horrible world as punishment for all the chaos he caused !
I didn’t think at the end of last episode it was a 3rd Jason who went into the store trying to get a gun. I thought it was Jason 1 after he got home and wanted to take action on Jason 2 who was at home. But it makes sense cause why would Jason 2 be there trying to buy a gun.
I just want to start by saying I haven’t read the book but I am thrilled to watch this series as Rick and Morty fan (multiverse travel). Here is my theory on what will happen on the final episode: Our Dessen family (Jason1, Daniella and Charlie) will soon realize they can no longer in a world where multiple Jasons are dead or walking around. We saw that there are enough ampules at Jason 2s storage. They will grab those and they will get in the box. They might want to go any universe but we all know he has to go back to Jason 2’s universe. There is a good reason for it. Let’s think about why that universe is the best for them. Jason is gone in that universe I bet he will die soon at J1s universe with incoming amount of Js who wants to kill him. Daniela is dead in that universe. Our Daniela always wondered how her life would be if she pursued her dream of becoming a painter. She can take her place and continue to be an artist. They are both famous in this world and rich. Jason and Daniela can say they kept their son hidden so they could focus on their career. Famous people do this all the time. Most importantly Leighton is gone too in J2s universe. Leighton and Jason are partners of the Velocity. With Leighton gone our Jason 1 will have the full control of the company. He will order to demolishment of the box. Remember boxes only appear in the same coordinates of this universe box because it is the original box that started the multiversel travel. If you destroyed that box then you destroy all of them. The end!
Why not... But in the universe where Daniela is dead, how will she explain to everyone that she is back alive ?? She has been killed by a gun shot, she didn't desappear. I don't know if u understand what I mean. Sorry for my english, I'm french.
Although I believe that is Jason #1, that could’ve been any Jason. He just so happened to get to her first. The family going into the box would make things even more complicated. From my pov as of now, they are wrecked either way
Omg all these copies of himself were giving me anxiety! Haha. I’m with you that the family will need to go to another world to escape them. This is getting gooood
What i don’t get is: If all Jasons are just variations of the one and only, why do they not all have the scratch on the nose which jason1 got from the night of his kidnapping?
No I don:y think so he said these Jason were created right after he left the box based off the division he made to find that Chicago. This whole a f up because this did not happen to Jason 2.
We have only been watching two Jasons. All the variants that were created and their indiviual stories unfolded after Jason and Amanda ran to the box, and that happened off screen. Episode 8 is where we see the other variants of Jason 1
@@EarJuice 1st, I don't understand what you mean by the sound cues as it was just a click sort of sound telling the viewers that we are watching OG Jason or (click back to) imposter Jason. 2nd, the field notebook must be in his bag? which he carries everywhere???? Idk what's the confusion there. 3rd, in which episode did he have odd number of ampoules?? Because I remember it being even every time right until Amanda left Jason 1.
@@stalsthetic9500 from episode 5 the sound cues start breaking the established rule. With that and seeing Leighton dancing around to Prince I thought there must be other stuff going on so went back. After seeing themselves getting shot it meant that 1000s of other made it so that's how I knew we were going to have 100s of Jasons at the end. Why have the clues to discover what's going to happen but then it not be so? Just seems weird they put so much emphasis on the field notebook for it to not come back up. The sound cues going script along with the unexplained clothes changes (which the various Jasons are now wearing) is subtle but made it possible to work out what was going to happen. There's one scene with odd ampoules. It's a few episodes back. It's weird that it was bleach tipped Leighton that made me go look only to find different Jasons.
This all could have been prevented if Jason 2 just had the box locked in such a way that it only opens from outside the box (requiring a person to open the box, like a safe), not having it bricked and cemented. Jason 2 didn't plan well enough I guess. Or he might have done this in some universe since there are also an infinite Jason 2s out there.
I thought when supposed Jason 1 came into the bar and had the beer with Jason X, he didn’t seem to recognise the bartender and was confused when he said the usual. So is that actually Jason 1?
4:38 with infinite Jasons it's possible this is another false jason that just knows the code word or he was somehow able to beat it out of 'our' Jason (which might not be our Jason either)
No other Jason can know the code word because in this universe, Daniela tells the code word to only one Jason. And I don't think any Jason can beat this information specifically out of any other Jason.
@@stalsthetic9500 are there not infinite near exact worlds with another Daniela? In that way yes if you are very unlucky there could be other worlds where they used jupiter as a code and the exact same plan and meet spot etc
@@lIlIllIlIllIlllIllIIIIIIIIIlII I'll explain this to you the way I understand it. We are in one universe currently in episode 8. In one universe only one Daniela exists and she told the safe word to only one Jason. If you're talking about n number of worlds with n number of Danielas and with n numbers of JUPTIER as the safe word, of course it exists. There are universes where our Jason 1.0 might have been killed before he gets to meet Daniela at the bean. Other universes where Daniela didn't listen to Jason 1.0 and left the city with Jason 2. We are only following just one of those many universes.
Liked the idea but I don’t see how they set up the ability for the box to create actual living beings for each possible choice he could make in the box. The fact it can do this just brings more questions. How was J2 able to practice learning the box without triggering an alternate who cuts corners? What about the rich guy also should the friend also have many versions as he explored at least one world and it’s possible he had a bad thought in one reality. Also also should all the boxes be having constant versions of everyone who’s ever been in the box? Every Jason half the Amanda’s and all the rich guys all will have copies that would have motivation to returns or visit the “prime” reality. This also bring up how two versions can exist before the box was created anyway
Jason one is the one in the car, he’s the one with the ring band on his finger. The Jason that Daniela goes with doesn’t have a ring band on, if u look when he’s hugging his son
Tbh, I was disappointed in the sci-fi soap opera style of this series - I thought the only great episode was ep 4 with the corridor being introduced. Till now. This episode was so mind-blowing and so much fun to watch that it was worth sitting through everything else to get here. 🤯This has created a near-impossible quandary and I have no idea how it can be fixed. Jason 2 quite literally opened a Pandora's box of Jasons and there's no fixing it now. 😂They can seal off the box but how many Jasons are already in this world waiting to pounce, rightfully believing they belong here? That will still be a gigantic problem. I guess they could all go to another world but they'd have to find one where NONE OF THEM exist (as in, those counterparts all died). Another thing - how do we really know FOR SURE that the Jason we followed with the "Jupiter" code word is our original? He saw a Jason in the hotel hallway who looked exactly like him - he was too far away to tell if there were any differences. It would be wild if it turns out this is the wrong one and the writers fooled both Daniela and us. 🤣🤣🤣 Lastly, since ALL of these variants came from this prime universe kidnapping, they all do technically belong here with Jason's family so no matter what, even if Jason Prime succeeds, it's still a tragic ending for all the variants of him.
In one of the episodes it’s mentioned they can only travel to worlds they either lived in or died in but have to have existed in before. Can’t go to a world they have no existence.
@@vicenterivera-xt5gy That's actually what I meant, they would need to go to a universe where they no longer exist, meaning they died. I just phrased it poorly.
at the end of the series... there will still only be 1 Jason who will stay with Daniela... and in my opinion everything can be seen from the screen time... why am I sure the Jupiter Jason is the real Jason... because of his screen time more and it looks like we are more focused on just him alone... and it can be seen from the way he speaks, his intonation and gestures really show he's the real one...especially after he had the brilliant idea not to be too reckless looking for Daniela at home... and preferring to smoke at the bar so that he gets caught by the police and asks Daniela to let him go so they can meet...THE REAL JASON has a brilliant and is not too hasty...
@@GeneralZod1991I agree with you about the thing that the Jason 1 we have been following is smart about his decisions. The other Jason 1s didn't have the kind of hopeful time that the OG Jason 1 had. Some lost their Amandas, one Jason we see was burnt, that is why they are reckless as they are more than desperate to make it all end.
Non book reader here. This was a trippy episode. The fact that your thoughts in the box can also create thought based alternates of yourself is scary. Scarier still is these alternates think alike to the prime identity as they sort of are primes in their own right. Looks like a unique method of human cloning has been created unintentionally. I wonder is it usage of the box alone achieving this or is it also achieved in combination with the compound? The human brain is still largely a mystery so maybe when the compound suppresses the pre frontal cortex to allow observation of superposition, other regions of the brain can place your thoughts in superposition creating these duplicate identities and realities?
Absolutely mind-f***ing episode. This has become my favorite show of the year! Hands down. Can't help not to think this is what multiverse of madness should have been....
PLEASEEEE read the book if you’ve enjoyed the show!!! I read it back in college and it’s been my favorite ever since. The show coming out made my whole year lol.
I have a wild theory about this series... maybe it's too wild and not based on the book... but I've always had this crazy theory in my head since episode 7... WHAT IF IT TURNS OUT, JASON WAS JUST DREAMING ALL THIS TIME... THE REAL JASON IS JASON WHERE HE WAS SLEEPING WITH DANIELA...AND HER SON MAX WAS SAVED... ???? when Jason 1 saw Jason sleeping with Daniela... and went downstairs to meet his son Max... I think that was the real Jason, and he was just dreaming all this time... ...I think this whole series is all about family... what if my child dies? what if daniela becomes this? what if if if if?... same as "what if" MCU series...Let's not focus too much on how Jason can return to his world... but we focus on the elements and lines that exist during this series... because we focus too much on the multiverse and how Jason will return to his world... but forget that this series is not only about the multiverse ..but about FAMILY!!
nothing is impossible... there have been many series like this and the ending is very mindblowing and really leaves us speechless.. such a "DARK & 1899"

Love the "Source Code" touch with the bean.
No idea where it's going but loving the journey and hoping it doesn't all get wrapped up in one season.
Me too, but I also don't want a huge cliffhanger. Because I don't know how well this show is actually doing, and streaming shows get canceled way too often. I'm nervous this show will too. Cuz I'm loving it.
@438019 I'm following the story, just finding the show unpredictable. Any show that keeps me guessing, surprised, interested and entertained by where it goes keeps me watching.
Not to mention the theoretical quantum physics that I'm aware of but not even close to being able to understand.
I like the breakdowns for the little details I may have missed such as ten Jason's where I'd only noticed six or various writings in the background when I'm tunnel vision on the story.
The thing to keep in mind about Jason 2 murdering the other Jason. Is that when they dust for prints, they'll probably only find prints from one person that probably will match the victim. They all look the same, so I'm assuming they have the same prints. So it would be harder for them to find the murderer. Plus even weirder is there will be a bunch of Jason's running around even if they use video or whatever to know who the murderer was.
The university of Chicago was the worst place Jason 2 could have done that but there was no choice. Once investigators ID the body it would place more scrutiny on Daniella and Charlie as they will be first people the authorities will be looking for to ensure their wellbeing.
Oh shit or to accuse Dani of the murder@@TwinFlyDSW
Think about how that Jason died tho and what Jason 2 did with the body. He choked him out. So died of asphyxiation. Jason 2 then set him on a toilet in a stall and locked the door from the outside. When the body is eventually discovered, it will have no ID and look like a homeless person came in and died in the stall. There will be no other DNA or fingerprints on scene but Jason's. The police might not even investigate it as murder. Homeless people do often go into libraries and use the restrooms for cleaning up and such. The body in the trunk of the car is the big one if found and will leave a full on investigation that will result in confusing issues for the police...

@yannikamaya Both actually. Fingers crossed for Henry Cavill's reboot.
This is a big problem for Daniela coz honestly all those Jason's spawned from the box are also Jason prime.....so all of them have all the memories they shared with her.... including the night he got kidnapped
Yeah, I take it Daniela just decided to pick one, which was the first one who got to her.
that's why the real jason1 asked daniela to make a code call only the two of them know... Jupiter...and daniela also already knows , if she meets another jason.. they must be meeting daniela for the first time ... like jason who was hit by a car with daniela & charlie...that's why when daniela met another jason...jason must have said that he last saw daniela after that night at the bar..

At this point all those new Jasons are suitable for Danila and Charlie because they were all kidnapped and the only difference is the events after entering the box . Technically they are all her husband and there really is no way of distinguishing the original from the copies . Absolutely fascinating and really the only sci show that realistically deals with the multi verse issue .
That's the tragic quandary of it. Every one of these variants who splintered off from the kidnapped Jason Prime - they all do technically belong here, but there's only room for one. It's sad when you think about it.
What are the chances that original Jason was the first to get to her though? I don't get how that happened.
@@TheBoomshine each decision creates a different universe. If this is true there are probably also different versions of Jason 2 also . This series is trippy but great
i dunno but i find it very underexplained... if they all split from a "prime" at a different decision point each, then shouldn't those _worlds_ also split? shouldn't they each have a unique world which they belong to? why would they all belong to the same world? feels extremely inconsistent to me.
the usurper actively chose to leave "his" world to enter the "prime's" world, therefore usurper's world is _missing_ a jason, by choice. technically, there could be a usurper world two where he doesn't choose to leave, but that's fine cos that split would have exactly one jason to that world still. but regardless of where/when else the prime "clones" get split, they should also have a world each that split from that exact decision point.
this also means that any of them could have "turned dark" at any one of the many times our jason prime actually had dark thoughts during his journey. this also also means that there are infinity more jasons out there who never made it back, some of them turning into usurpers themselves and usurping other fresh new jasons, starting entire new chains of infinities.

Yes they should, and the show only has two explanations for this. All of the other Jason 1's are actually still the same Jason and belong to this Daniella. This answer sucks because if Jason 1 splits after that day, then so should that many Daniella's be split off also. It doesnt make sense that all copies of Jason1s (IN THEIR OWN REALITY) do not have a corresponding Daniella.
The 2nd answer is that all of these Jasons don't actually belong to this world, but this is just an overflow of Jason1s that almost got their world right...and are stuck here and doing it anyway. This sounds like a viable answer, but narratively I think it's messy and not super engaging. I'm pretty sure they're leaning towards the first answer, and I'm not really a fan of it.
"this also means that any of them could have "turned dark" at any one of the many times our jason prime actually had dark thoughts during his journey. this also also means that there are infinity more jasons out there who never made it back, some of them turning into usurpers themselves and usurping other fresh new jasons, starting entire new chains of infinities."
Yup they even hint at that in the episode where he's in the hotel with Amanda. He says he's afraid he'll simply take any other Daniella that isn't his from another Jason.
I have to keep looking at the fingers whenever a Jason pops up.
did you notice the one in the car crash he has the white rubberband, is daniela with a wrong jason !!!
i think the only we can differentiate between them is their ring finger all the deviations have a black one and the original has the original one! also the jupiter one is the one we were following because his Amanda found a place she wanted to stay
some jason 1 have the nose cut also
In the episode I went back and watched the hand for ring finger and the only other one that looked like they had the hair tie was the one they got in the car with. I'd assume that Jason 1 we have been watching is the one who did the cigar trick because the other one hot wired a car and I can't see the one we've been watching do that.
@@ryangerrity2851 the one who had the screwdriver in the car had a hair tie that was brown??
Imagine if there are some versions who will come with Amanda.
yup, but there is still the possipilty of new Jasons after Amanda finding the place, cuz he made more decisions before returning to his original Chicago , so no original Jason here, ALL ARE ORIGINALS
I'm thinking that they definitely go back to the box with the ampoules from the storage facility, but Jason 1 can't choose, since all the other Jasons, including Jason2 would think just like him. So, maybe Daniela would have to make the choice of where to go in the corridor. Maybe the easier solution is for them to use the box with the explicit purpose of making copies of Daniela and Charlie for all the other Jasons, maybe even get Max to the box to make some copies of him too, but just making 1 copy would duplicate them exponentially. It really is Kinko's Pandora's Box.
The bit with Jason’s bartender friend in the Village Tap frustrated the hell out of me 😤 They’ve known each other for a while so how could the bartender not even ask a question when he suddenly sees two identical Jasons in his bar? The way they fudged that really took me out of the episode….
This is amazing i never read the book either soo im excited to see how this ends!!!
I almost abandoned this series early on but after this episode, I am SO glad I stuck it out!
I'm pretty sure the christmas sweater Jason appeared back in the episode were Jason and Amanda entered a completely frozen world. I remember when they were back in the box they showed them and Jason had the same exact sweater. They went back to Jason 2 on the OG world, and back to the box to a no-sweater Jason. I was really confused at first since Jason had fully changed clothes and it seemed unlogical, i now understand that it might have been sweater Jason showing up since that episode.. maybe the 5th one? don't remember honestly, but i'ts cool to realize that haha :)
Absolute mind fuck for Daniela
She’s handling it really well 🤷🏻♀️
And Charlie has it worse. He was never told about what's going on in the first place lol.
so many jasons, so little time
I dunno how I feel about her reaction to him hugging his son....something off about it.
DOnt Forget This Is Season 1 She Might Go Look For Him In The Box
The team really did a good job adapting the book. They kept the best parts and also supplemented POVs from Jason2 and Daniela. Bravo.
I wish they included the chat room.
The last Jason who said the safe word "Jupiter" is the Jason we've been following since episode 1. Some people are saying, we can't know which Jason is the real one because they are all same but actually we can. The Jason who said the safe word is the one whose Amanda stayed where she wanted.
Also, he should have a photo of him and Amanda (A couple took a picture of them at a bar and gave it to Jason, if anyone forgot). This photo can later be used as a proof and if Amanda appears in the final episode, she could recognize the real Jason through the photo.
Great insight!
Couldn't there be more Jasons since when this photo was taken? Or are new versions only creates after (some) Jason enters a world?
Other Jasons could have branched off since after that incident of the photos
even the photo is not a proof , cuz afterwards he left with 5 more ampules so more 5 variable choices which can results in production of more Jasons having the same photo and memory with Amanda .
Great analysis
As soon as I saw J1 stare down the hallway at another Jason, I got Get Out vibes. On one hand it's sci-fi... but even mores, psychological horror drama. Outstanding!
3 jasons came out that door lol (2 dressed in blue, one with tan)
What makes "Jupiter Jason" so different from all the other Jasons trying to get back to Daniella?
Daniella will never be able to tell who really is "her" Jason. "Jupiter Jason" just got lucky.
Most likely his reaction, first he made sure to meet her in a way she would not feel in danger (in a police station) then when he was with his son, without saying anything else he hugged him.
The first black jacket Jason was focused in Daniela without caring about his son, the other one put their life in danger by crashing into them.
The one that was killed at the university had a fcked leg and a part of his face burn didn't cared to do it in a place where his son was.
By being send into another dimension he created a new waypoint in timeline so yeah it'll be pretty messy because they are ALL the prime Jason, only their adventures changed them, only the one that's still pure at this point and never did a bad action is the original prime jason because he was the one that was the perfect husband abd father 🤷
Cause that was the first one that got kidnapped. He’s the one that caused all the other jason’s to spawn when he first went into the box with amanda when they escaped velocity
@@houdaopps536ye but they are all deviations from the original. They have the same memories on earth. Jason 1 is just lucky
@@houdaopps536 My point is, Daniella can't know that.
His demeanor. He's more attuned and calm. The other Jasons are either reckless or dangerous in their methods on getting back to Daniela and Charlie.
Is it really a Jason 1 with the "Jupiter" code🤔 We can't be sure anymore
yes every time i see a jason i look at their ring finger everyone who has a black elastic is a deviation the original has the normal one
Also I look at Jason 1 nose. It always has that cut mark from when Jason 2 beat him up and kidnapped him

I don't understand something here. If there are multiple Jason 1s, there should also be various Jason 2s. Isn't it?
Nope
Cause
Jason 2 is the one who started it all and never deviated
His timeline has always been linear
@@ChillAroundAndFindOut i think otherwise, like they said each timeline create somes tiny variation of them, most likely each important event create a kind of waypoint in the timeline.
Look at the prime jason, the moment he took the box he created a bunch if variants of him like the one that was killed in the bathroom had a burnt face, a fcked leg and his last partner dead.
The one that crashed the car is not the prime Jason too because he crashed their car to get what he wanted and the one that was driving isn't the prime jason too because he focused on Daniela and didn't cared about his son.
What that say to us is the fact that they lived other adventures then what we saw all along because our prime jason didn't did anything wrong and was always pure, he was always only the father that missed his family and didn't had any kind of trauma except the fact that his family was took from him, he isn't a killer.
I believe at this point that the only one that can find whom is whom is his partner he left on the other dimension + the Ryan that was left in the same dimension aswell.
Ryan can probably with his new dimension tech and his knowledge make the box run again so we will probably see him the next episode and they will have to make things right i guess 🤷
Remember what they think of when they are about to open the door determines whats on the other side.The less vague the better.
@@ChillAroundAndFindOutso like, the very first time he used the box and he got to that specific reality in 1 try?
@@fluffyearl2572 Good question! I agree that there are other versions on Jason 2 and that it's not possible to seal off all the boxes.
Technically, all of those Jason are Jason 1 except the Jason 2. As seen in this case there's no more original Jason from this world as himself has become relative which means all those versions of Jason are the same Jason who opened doors into different worlds and experiences differently the moment he starts travelling into different worlds, in fact every of his actions. Everyone of those Jason (except Jason 2) could claim they're Jason 1 according to them ( as their experience is relative to them ) This is mind blowing 😅🤯 it would get crazier if they involved time travel within the multiverse. Whoever is creating this series is a genius.
Saying that I was actually thinking this is the superposition version of a paradox. Sort of like the time travel variation where one might run into alternate versions of oneself from different points in time.
Really liked this episode. I’ve grown up near the UofC campus so this was a hoot. Also, I like how Daniela is written she’s not an idiot clueless wife. And how did they shoot the Bean without reflecting the film crew? Can they erase themselves in post?🤔
I love that they put the end of the show on the main poster for the show such a cool and kind of funny wink at those of us who have read the book I could not wait to get to this point and see the reactions of people who have never read the book
I think this is the best episode in dark matter yet. In the first half i didnt understand anything but then i was shocked. Im typing this before finishing the video i think the real Jason will take his family and go to another world but not in the near future cause he doesnt have impules maybee he will go to the world amanda stayed in or maybe amanda will save them again
Daniella saw ampules in the garage so that could play a part
the way i CRIED when they finally reunited 😭😭 *BEST SHOW OF THE YEAR* !!!! never been so excited for Wednesdays!!
Damn right.
He still might not be the Jason 1.
He mite not be the true Jason 😂
That’s not Jason 1 .. Jason 1 had a band on his ring finger and the Jason who reunited with Daniella had nothing on his finger.
@@debbieeee23 are F’ing kidding me?! lol. I mean yeah in this chaos that could be true … but he is the guy we’ve been following in that outfit. ? He was the guy sitting down with other Jason for beer. If he is not true Jason then idk where our main guy is. lol. We shall see!!!!! Aaaaaaah
I think the bigger question is ... which Jason did Daniela knock out? Alternate versions of that Jason likely exist as well. That part I think is as trippy as the diff versions of the Jason we've been cheering for.
You know why I love this too? It remind me of “The one” with jet li back in the day. He went across the multiverse eliminating every version of himself.
This is a modern take with less kung fu. I love the premise.
This was amazing!
I read the book 4 times and this version is as amazing as the book.
All Jasons (except for J2) are her actual husband! Its nuts.
Imagine being stalked/chased by an infinite amount of clones of your partner 😬Probably best to get divorced at this point or pick one and disappear.
I think they will try to go to the world where Jasons partner Amanda decided to stay in. It’s like a utopia version of the prime world and would make sense for the dessen family. I also think that world she is in is possibly where jay2 sent pavia award Charlie to. From a tv stand point it sets those characters up for a story line for a future season if they do it. Also don’t forget Jason snuck 2 ampoules in Amanda’s bag when they split. That could be how she and Ryan return to prime world. I didn’t read the books and love to post theories. Just a thought from the rabbit hole! Enjoy!
So how does Jason 2 loop in the box? Whats the physics explanation for this?
50 Shades of Jason!😂
Hoping for season 2
So they split within the box. I guess, the Jasons will not stop coming back.
I think every world created since Jason 1 got into the box with Amanada will eventually be filled with infinite number of Jason 1s.
So much tension and suspense! Great episode!
Shouldnt there be infinite Jason 2s as well? Why didnt they show up there (I mean aside from the issues it would bring for the storywriting).
I would think that all the copies of Jason2 he made along the way to this world would have no reason to go this one, they don't know about it. They are probably kidnapping their own Jason in another variation of this world and taking over their life like this one did life.
There would be no reason for other Jason 2s in this world. That is why there is only one Jason 2 that we see
Also while Jason 2 was in the stalking phase (events that happen before and in episode 1 itself) there would have been many Jason 2's who would have also came out the same box. This Jason 2 would have had the time to tackle them. That means we are seeing one of many Jason 2s that survived
Daniella and Charlie can go in the box, make a bunch of decisions and then come back in order to clone themselves, then each Jason gets one family.
Thank you for explaining because I was out there wondering.
This is genius- technically ALL of these Jason variants who splintered off after the kidnapping belong here- it's tragic for them. And since they all have the exact same memories of this world before the kidnapping, we honestly can't be 100% sure that it was Jason Prime who reunited with Daniela and Charlie. There could be one who looks exactly the same. We saw one with the same outfit and a pinky bandage. What if there's another who looks like a carbon copy? I can't think of a way for the characters or the viewer to ever know for sure because even if this Jason starts talking about a universe he went to that we never saw, we know that Jason Prime went to many other universes than the ones that were depicted. (Frankly, that was so entertaining that I wish they'd continued finding insanely different worlds for a while. Sliders built a whole series of of just that.)
Okay, but why are we saying that Jason Prime (1) was kidnapped multiple times? He wasn't, right? So when was the actual moment the original Jason Prime started to get duplicated? Did the evil Jason 2 actually try several times to kidnap Jason 1, and each one ended differently so that those Jason 1s were released into different worlds from the corridoor and are all trying to get back? For all we know, there might be a universe where he just killed Jason 1. Either on purpose or by accident. But then again, wouldn't killing Jason 1 be the easiest solution, as long as his body is never found in the same world.
Why I think Jupiter Jason is OG Jason (in addition to the more obvious things like the scar, headband ring):
At the bar, OG Jason takes a box of matches with a bear or tiger on it. At the diner, this is the same box of matches that was used to light the cigar. This indicates that this Jason is the OG Jason, in my opinion.
Another thought: The Jason1 clone at the bar said that he came a day earlier than OG Jason1 and he had lost his Amanda in another reality. For one, OG Jason’s affection for Amanda really was holding him back from finding his reality. Nonetheless, I do feel like his time with her was useful as she kept him grounded, plus she’s a therapist. Some of the other Jason clones seem more erratic, more impulsive. I wonder if it’s the same theory of clone-making where the duplicates can deviate from the original and become inferior. I.e, OG Jason is the best version but when he made the decision to stay with Daniella when he found out he was pregnant, Jason2 splintered off but his version is more impulsive, selfish, etc. Likewise, the other jasons that splintered off from the quests in the box seem more impulsive, vengeful, raging and less calculating. Of course, this could also be from the treacherous experiences that they’ve had making them on edge and desperate.
real jason has a rubberband on his finger and it was the one that picked them up and crashed look at his hand in the begining of the video and tell me what you think im confused too
Literally thought at some point there's was just going to be a swarm of Jason's chasing them haha, car scene came pretty close.
After having seen 8 episodes, they leave many loose ends. I don't think it's a self-contained series. The plot of the two Ryans is open, that of the scientist who was trapped in the dead world is open, that of the multiple Jasons is open, that of the guy who got lost in the box is still open. I don't think they close that many plots in a single episode. I just think they'll close the Jason 1 story.
Very true!!
That’s a really good point I’m hoping so this show is excellent

If One Rich Jason wanted to kidnap one Average Jason from one timeline to another, there might be other Rich Jasons who might have made the same decision to kidnap other Average Jasons from other timelines. As in a multiverse of branches each and every decision you make branches off into another reality! This means all the different Jasons are from different timelines altogether.
What's interesting is that in the primary universe of the Rich Jason and all the Average Jasons, all end up in the same universe or it seems as it is. If the decisions made inside the Shrohindeger's box may make Varients of itself in superposition then there might be other timelines that branch off where the other Jasons or all other versions of Jasons are from. Because it would create a completely different timeline even if you're inside the box, it should not revert to the same timeline over and over again.
It's an interesting theory as to why everyone ended up in the same timeline, might be because they all feel a sense of longing in this exact same timeline. It's hard to understand why they cannot go to the timeline they created by being inside the box, if they can branch off so can the timeline.
This show is basically the plot of Rick and Morty with Jennifer Connelly ❤😂
Hahaha! Bang on, just waiting for the pickled Jason 😂
What if cigar Jason is Jason 2.1? He asked Daniella to communicate a relative question that wasn’t true anyway but could have used something that actually happened before the switch, to make Daniella more at ease. Instead he makes up a trip knowing the way Jason 2 would respond.
Why would a variant of Jason 2 be here?
@stalsthetic9500 Same reason there’s multiple Jason 1’s from different choices. 2 has been in and out of that box countless times himself including the times he wondered for a year and was reported missing from his own universe.
@@GarciaEnterprises yeah but why would he risk his life in this world? Jason 2 doesn't want Daniela 1 specifically, he just wants any Daniela in any world he is married to.
Even if he accidentally came to this world, he'll just leave seeing all the chaos going on.
Jason 2 doesn't love Daniela
I put it on audio description at the end of episode 7 and they called finger brace Jason, #6 🤔
Mind blowing episode!! Now we don’t know if the real Jason is Jupiter Jason. This is crazy. So many Jason’s. We will find out next week.
I think i need a 20-min breakdown for this episode 🤯
its either his thoughts in the box opened worlds or there's multiple Jasons living at once ...
Enjoying this show a lot. I am seeing a path where Jason^1 and Daniella/Charlie go back into the box to find Ryan^1. Which seemed to be (based on appearance) the SAME world where Amanda decided to stay. Looping her back into the equation.
Damn he got 10 Jason’s I counted 8 I was really locked in
There's actually 13. Go back and watch the episode with closed captions. They number every Jason
@@jasonmixologistdaly1038did they?? I missed it

Also Jason caused the crash with Jason
One of the jasons crashed in the accident has nose scar too, This makes it more complicated. Scar is not enough to identify them.
Hand J1-Rubber Band Ring,J2-Gold Ring .
They should all have the nose scar since it occurred before they began splintering. Also, he put the rubber band on pretty early so there should be some others with the rubber band too.
Jason 1, our main Jason, has a tiny scar on the left side of his nose that he got from a fight which tells you that it's the right Jason, the one she exchanged the code word Jupiter with. They are finally reunited as a family, even if Daniela and Charlie are still skeptical.
exactly, i dont know how people missed that. He has that scar where other Jasons don't have it.
But there are other Jason 1’s with nose scars, and we’ve been following more than one scarred Jason 1. Both Jason 1’s who go to the weapon store have scars on their noses.
I think you're right about 10 Jason 1's... It's going to be very interesting how they wrap this up, or at least how episode 9 ends.
It'd be awesome if they do a Season 2. Aside from a very interesting story, I never get tired of watching Jennifer Connelly. Hands down, the most gorgeous actress in Hollywood today and she's going to be beautiful well into "old age". Even better, she's very intelligent... Paul Bettany is one lucky dude!
Rick and Morty explain this episode when they splinter realities from every decision they make. I wonder if the time keepers will come and place a collar on Jason Prime lol
How do we know the Jason at the end of the episode is Jason 1? The impression I’m getting from this episode is that there are potentially infinite Jasons now.
My other concern is wondering if all these other jasons are the ones the usurper screwed over, or if we now have just infinite usurpers too?
I watch your recaps after every episode and good thing because I’ve only counted 5 different Jadon’s lol 🎉
I don't believe no one mentioned the most important question: is Jason 1 really, the original Jason?
I believe so but honestly, it really doesn't matter since he's seemingly the kindest one in my opinion not on a murderous rampage just wants to be with his fam and as I'm writing this all the other non murderous jasons might be just like tht one dammit i really don't kno😂😂😂
No. The most important question is: are they all in the original world?

@harolda611 yea it's their wrld they only split after they were kidnapped so it's a conundrum
Somebody mentioned it already in the comments
AAAAHHHHHHHH! SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD, at first I'm thinking Jason 2 has done this a few time just trying to find the perfect Daniela and Charlie. But NO! Mutha F*%ING M.Night Shyamalan twist Infinte Jasons. GOD DAMN!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Another week WE need our Dark Matter crack!
He’d been gone for 18months before emerging in Jason 1’s world.
I bet he was stealing the lives of the other Jasons, as well as figuring out the box (though since he created it, knew all along how to control it).
@finfog4590 Watch the part where the two Jasons are having a beer. Every decision Jason Prime made in the box created another Jason and all those Jasons and all their decisions created infinite Jasons. JUST SO GOOD!
He created them every time he opened the doors 🤯
there is Jason11, in the bar, when Jason1 and another Jason were drinking a beer, that another Jason said that Jason wanted to kill him yesterday
Wow... What a great show with great ideas and this episode is just mind blowing. Had me scared a bit when the Jason got killed by bad Jason but it turns out it was just a variant... CRAZZZZZY
One of these Jasons have to go back to Amanda. Also Jason 8 is probably going to hold Jason 1 at gunpoint now that Jason 1 has Daniela, but his need for revenge might get him to change target to Jason 2.
The truth is, in this episode ... we don't actually know which is the original Jason anymore. He's disappeared into the jeether.
Awesome show. So glad it didn't turn out like Constellation.
The perfect end would be :
Jason, wife and son leave this World using the box for a World in which all 3 of them are dead but where Max is alive (the dead twin brother).
This end would be beauuuuutiful ! Please make this happen ! Anyworld is possible if you know how to Travel, and now Jason 1 knows the way the box works. Imagine the all 4 of them United again ... 😊 PS : and Bad Jason 2 gets stuck in the most horrible world as punishment for all the chaos he caused !
I didn’t think at the end of last episode it was a 3rd Jason who went into the store trying to get a gun. I thought it was Jason 1 after he got home and wanted to take action on Jason 2 who was at home. But it makes sense cause why would Jason 2 be there trying to buy a gun.
I just want to start by saying I haven’t read the book but I am thrilled to watch this series as Rick and Morty fan (multiverse travel).
Here is my theory on what will happen on the final episode:
Our Dessen family (Jason1, Daniella and Charlie) will soon realize they can no longer in a world where multiple Jasons are dead or walking around. We saw that there are enough ampules at Jason 2s storage. They will grab those and they will get in the box.
They might want to go any universe but we all know he has to go back to Jason 2’s universe. There is a good reason for it.
Let’s think about why that universe is the best for them. Jason is gone in that universe I bet he will die soon at J1s universe with incoming amount of Js who wants to kill him. Daniela is dead in that universe. Our Daniela always wondered how her life would be if she pursued her dream of becoming a painter. She can take her place and continue to be an artist. They are both famous in this world and rich. Jason and Daniela can say they kept their son hidden so they could focus on their career. Famous people do this all the time. Most importantly Leighton is gone too in J2s universe. Leighton and Jason are partners of the Velocity. With Leighton gone our Jason 1 will have the full control of the company. He will order to demolishment of the box. Remember boxes only appear in the same coordinates of this universe box because it is the original box that started the multiversel travel. If you destroyed that box then you destroy all of them.
The end!
Great theory. I think you're right.
Why not... But in the universe where Daniela is dead, how will she explain to everyone that she is back alive ?? She has been killed by a gun shot, she didn't desappear. I don't know if u understand what I mean. Sorry for my english, I'm french.
@@fabricem.4870 exactly I was going to comment this exact thing.
Even if they go there, it creates more jasons
i like this theory, but i do wonder where all the Jason2s are? wasn't he too creating copies with every decision?
Have we been following the correct Jason 1 for this particular Daniella and Charlie? How can we be certain?
Best recap ever!!! Thank you!!!! 😊
Having read the book, I’m intrigued to see how will this go from here. Blake has already changed things up a bit from the book.
That episode was WILD.
Although I believe that is Jason #1, that could’ve been any Jason. He just so happened to get to her first.
The family going into the box would make things even more complicated. From my pov as of now, they are wrecked either way
Omg all these copies of himself were giving me anxiety! Haha. I’m with you that the family will need to go to another world to escape them. This is getting gooood
Nose cut and ring finger pay attention too. Our Jason 1 has a rubber band ring
The only way I could see them surviving is if the box is closed off and pick off the Jasons left.
First few minutes of the episode I thought I was tripping 😂 wow what a show.
What i don’t get is: If all Jasons are just variations of the one and only, why do they not all have the scratch on the nose which jason1 got from the night of his kidnapping?
Told yall lol 11 jasons. The one from episode 6 with the brace on his finger
I was right. We were watching multiple Jasons all season.
No I don:y think so he said these Jason were created right after he left the box based off the division he made to find that Chicago. This whole a f up because this did not happen to Jason 2.
We have only been watching two Jasons. All the variants that were created and their indiviual stories unfolded after Jason and Amanda ran to the box, and that happened off screen. Episode 8 is where we see the other variants of Jason 1
@@stalsthetic9500 then why the extra sound cues, what happened to the field notebook and why were there odd ampoule numbers in one episode.
@@EarJuice 1st, I don't understand what you mean by the sound cues as it was just a click sort of sound telling the viewers that we are watching OG Jason or (click back to) imposter Jason.
2nd, the field notebook must be in his bag? which he carries everywhere???? Idk what's the confusion there.
3rd, in which episode did he have odd number of ampoules?? Because I remember it being even every time right until Amanda left Jason 1.
@@stalsthetic9500 from episode 5 the sound cues start breaking the established rule. With that and seeing Leighton dancing around to Prince I thought there must be other stuff going on so went back. After seeing themselves getting shot it meant that 1000s of other made it so that's how I knew we were going to have 100s of Jasons at the end. Why have the clues to discover what's going to happen but then it not be so? Just seems weird they put so much emphasis on the field notebook for it to not come back up. The sound cues going script along with the unexplained clothes changes (which the various Jasons are now wearing) is subtle but made it possible to work out what was going to happen.
There's one scene with odd ampoules. It's a few episodes back. It's weird that it was bleach tipped Leighton that made me go look only to find different Jasons.
This all could have been prevented if Jason 2 just had the box locked in such a way that it only opens from outside the box (requiring a person to open the box, like a safe), not having it bricked and cemented. Jason 2 didn't plan well enough I guess. Or he might have done this in some universe since there are also an infinite Jason 2s out there.
I thought when supposed Jason 1 came into the bar and had the beer with Jason X, he didn’t seem to recognise the bartender and was confused when he said the usual. So is that actually Jason 1?
He was confused because the bartender said "that was quick".
4:38 with infinite Jasons it's possible this is another false jason that just knows the code word or he was somehow able to beat it out of 'our' Jason (which might not be our Jason either)
No other Jason can know the code word because in this universe, Daniela tells the code word to only one Jason.
And I don't think any Jason can beat this information specifically out of any other Jason.
@@stalsthetic9500 are there not infinite near exact worlds with another Daniela? In that way yes if you are very unlucky there could be other worlds where they used jupiter as a code and the exact same plan and meet spot etc
@@lIlIllIlIllIlllIllIIIIIIIIIlII I'll explain this to you the way I understand it. We are in one universe currently in episode 8. In one universe only one Daniela exists and she told the safe word to only one Jason. If you're talking about n number of worlds with n number of Danielas and with n numbers of JUPTIER as the safe word, of course it exists.
There are universes where our Jason 1.0 might have been killed before he gets to meet Daniela at the bean. Other universes where Daniela didn't listen to Jason 1.0 and left the city with Jason 2.
We are only following just one of those many universes.
How did the box get there in first place? Jason 1 didn't know about it.
Jason 2 built it in his own universe. Visited jason 1 using it
@@abzasapx Doesn't explain why it's in Jason 1 universe since he didn't build it yet.
It does... the box populates any timeline of Chicago based on the user, not that world
Obviously they should have just made the same number of copies of Daniella and Charlie so everyone is happy 😂
You missed the Jasons up. The Jason that got killed at the backyard is the Jason Jason 1 met at the bar.
I believe they will all 3 go into the box to escape all the other Jasons and see Amanda
Liked the idea but I don’t see how they set up the ability for the box to create actual living beings for each possible choice he could make in the box. The fact it can do this just brings more questions. How was J2 able to practice learning the box without triggering an alternate who cuts corners? What about the rich guy also should the friend also have many versions as he explored at least one world and it’s possible he had a bad thought in one reality. Also also should all the boxes be having constant versions of everyone who’s ever been in the box? Every Jason half the Amanda’s and all the rich guys all will have copies that would have motivation to returns or visit the “prime” reality. This also bring up how two versions can exist before the box was created anyway
Jason one is the one in the car, he’s the one with the ring band on his finger. The Jason that Daniela goes with doesn’t have a ring band on, if u look when he’s hugging his son
i dropped a tear at the end the son and father reunion. :/ I read the book but I wont spoil it.
Tbh, I was disappointed in the sci-fi soap opera style of this series - I thought the only great episode was ep 4 with the corridor being introduced. Till now. This episode was so mind-blowing and so much fun to watch that it was worth sitting through everything else to get here. 🤯This has created a near-impossible quandary and I have no idea how it can be fixed. Jason 2 quite literally opened a Pandora's box of Jasons and there's no fixing it now. 😂They can seal off the box but how many Jasons are already in this world waiting to pounce, rightfully believing they belong here? That will still be a gigantic problem. I guess they could all go to another world but they'd have to find one where NONE OF THEM exist (as in, those counterparts all died). Another thing - how do we really know FOR SURE that the Jason we followed with the "Jupiter" code word is our original? He saw a Jason in the hotel hallway who looked exactly like him - he was too far away to tell if there were any differences. It would be wild if it turns out this is the wrong one and the writers fooled both Daniela and us. 🤣🤣🤣 Lastly, since ALL of these variants came from this prime universe kidnapping, they all do technically belong here with Jason's family so no matter what, even if Jason Prime succeeds, it's still a tragic ending for all the variants of him.
In one of the episodes it’s mentioned they can only travel to worlds they either lived in or died in but have to have existed in before. Can’t go to a world they have no existence.
@@vicenterivera-xt5gy That's actually what I meant, they would need to go to a universe where they no longer exist, meaning they died. I just phrased it poorly.
at the end of the series... there will still only be 1 Jason who will stay with Daniela... and in my opinion everything can be seen from the screen time... why am I sure the Jupiter Jason is the real Jason... because of his screen time more and it looks like we are more focused on just him alone... and it can be seen from the way he speaks, his intonation and gestures really show he's the real one...especially after he had the brilliant idea not to be too reckless looking for Daniela at home... and preferring to smoke at the bar so that he gets caught by the police and asks Daniela to let him go so they can meet...THE REAL JASON has a brilliant and is not too hasty...
@@GeneralZod1991I agree with you about the thing that the Jason 1 we have been following is smart about his decisions. The other Jason 1s didn't have the kind of hopeful time that the OG Jason 1 had. Some lost their Amandas, one Jason we see was burnt, that is why they are reckless as they are more than desperate to make it all end.
I wrote a novel called triviality, i like how my ideas are a bit similar to this one, love the show
Im really living this show
Non book reader here. This was a trippy episode. The fact that your thoughts in the box can also create thought based alternates of yourself is scary. Scarier still is these alternates think alike to the prime identity as they sort of are primes in their own right. Looks like a unique method of human cloning has been created unintentionally. I wonder is it usage of the box alone achieving this or is it also achieved in combination with the compound? The human brain is still largely a mystery so maybe when the compound suppresses the pre frontal cortex to allow observation of superposition, other regions of the brain can place your thoughts in superposition creating these duplicate identities and realities?
