Dark Matter (2024): S2.E6 What the Universe is Made of

After the last two episodes, this was a welcome improvement and has given me some hope that the season might still salvage itself. For once, the writers moved away from the endless parade of alternate Jasons and gave us a proper story to follow.

Daniela reconnecting with her stepfather, Jason finding his way back to science, and Charlie learning about another version of Max all gave the episode a clearer sense of purpose. I particularly liked the way it explored the characters individually rather than throwing more versions of them at us.

The episode still moves at a fairly slow pace, and I am not entirely sure how some of these developments, especially Leighton's mysterious underground project, fit into the larger story. But at least this felt like meaningful progress rather than another exercise in multiverse confusion. 6.5/10.
