Dark Matter Recap: The Last 8 Hours


Jason and Amanda keep dimension-hopping and have absolutely nothing to show for it.

The learning curve is steep, as the pre-title scene of Dark Matter ’s series-midpoint hump day episode demonstrates again when Jason A insists to his fellow dimensional refugee Amanda that he’s feeling “safe and happy and warm” and ready to go home — just before he opens the door and the Box floods like a third-class cabin aboard the Titanic, sinking to the bottom of Lake Michigan. As the very attractive fortysomething actors Joel Edgerton and Alice Braga strip down to allow their clothes to dry, Jason A admits that despite his insistence to the contrary, he was, in fact, feeling overwhelmed when he opened that door, inviting the deluge. As Jason stammers that his wife is sick and his son is dead, the soldier glances at the front of the house and observes that they “have the colors properly displayed.” Two doctors emerge from the humvee; one tells the other to perform a “rapid test” while she goes inside to look at Daniela.
