This episode was about establishing "bad Jay" even more as a devil/psychopath who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. You can trust the devil in one thing and one thing only, he is always lying and deceiving and therefore pretty reliable actually.
Even worse, he might not even be the only "bad Jay". If I were an even worse Jay, I would observe and wait for him to do the dirty work of setting up and settling in and then just replace him like he did with the "good Jason".
@nuneke0 I later mentioned in another comment that I'm guessing maybe bad J will turn out to be just another good J that has been just looking for his world for a long time and can't find it and he is not the original J that started a chain reaction of Js going into the box
@@pumpuppthevolume Since the science aspect of this sci-fi show makes little to no sense so far, the hope for such a development is what keeps me watching still. 👍
In "Jason's" world, the bar has a dull warm color neon sign that says, "Temperance". This can barely be seen when he is talking with his college buddy. In "Jaye's" world the sign says "Resilience" in bright blue neon. I think this signifies his temperament and outlook on life that influences his decisions. If we see another world with Jason, it would be interesting to see if they show another sign.
The problem I'm having with it all is, that there is no way of telling if Jason is truly back in his original world or just in a similar one where he's missing as well.
I was thinking something like that too if it is affected by their subconscious mind too then her being there with him gotta be affecting something but the "Jaye" version can go where he wants when he had the rich guy with him and he can control it maybe cuz that one made the box he knows how to use it better
I just want to say that this show has been amazing so far. I love the steady pace which makes it not boring, every episode has had its purpose & not just a filler. Unlike the show "From" where not only very few answers to the mystery are revealed but even more questions arised even after 2 seasons. This is how you do a show.
Yeah, there is no comparison to this show and "From." From is like a lame version of Lost, which was pretty lame. They are just trying to drag people along by creating more and more questions without ever answering anything of any significance.
The Fugitive 2 and My Best Friends Divorce don't exist in our world but provide excellent foreshadowing of the state of Jason's life in that one. Definitely going to have to pay more attention to any background writing going forward.
I think the clothes drying thing is just that they didn’t want you to watch their clothes dry and them re-dress in realtime. They were wet, they were drying, they are dry. No reason to complicate it.
my thought is that, when the drug wears off, they are not in the superposition anymore, so whatever happens when they are in the superposition i.e. clothes are wet, when coming back to normal (they are all dry), it is being reset. and then you have a chance to open the door with what you think. the drug has a time limit, right?
It's not a Schroedinger's cat because it is not in superposition. It is just a cat in another world. It would have been if the cat would somehow make it into "The Box".
I wonder what's going to happen to Amanda. She's obviously in love with both Jason's. But the Jason's are in love with Daniela. The best outcome would be for her to end up in a world where she recently died and that has a Jason that loved her back.
Ahh! Severance. I loved that show. It's only been like 3 years since the last season. Why is it taking so long for these shows to come out? I love that show, but damn, there is way too much time in between seasons. When is S2 even coming out? 2029?
The box is a metaphor of our physical body and our subconscious and semi conscious mind is constantly collapsing the probability wave form into reality which is represented by the characters opening the doors. Which if true would explain what the mystics have said for eons. We each create the reality we expect to see. Very well constructed show...
Yeah, I agree, the concept of the show would work much better in a mystical/supernatural sense. But they set it up as sci-fi and as that it's all very frustrating.
@nuneke0 most modern audiences are less familiar with Eastern philosophy so it makes sense that they would frame it via the most current understanding of fundamental reality. So many people are still trying to come to terms with the fact that all reality is a construct. Let alone the manipulation or more accurately how best to guide that focal point of manifest reality. It's kind of like lucid dreaming.
The brain is definitely a tricky thing personally I think there are many things only it can handle including different realities, subconsciousness, the drug they use, and more so yah we wouldn’t actually go through all that without consequences
@@ilikenoodleart18 this is true, no solution is ideal especially as they can only go into worlds they already existed. Assuming she wasn’t killed by her former colleagues and no one is after her; Ghosting as it’s called, assuming her own identity of a deceased person, probably the easiest way.
@@pumpuppthevolume He did, but (I forgot the name of the black guy) brought the subject up. Jason isn't in it for the money primarily, for him it's about power, about playing god.
@@TangoNevada no im just making unreasonable but possible assumptions to make up the success of the plot, I still dont know and im just excited for the upcoming episodes
Would be funny asf if brad pitt had a cameo as a janitor in this show where he's mopping and passing by the room with the box where he asks, "what's in that fuckin box?.. everybody is going crazy over it!" 😂
😂😂😂 Wet box is crazy. Midddle of the episode dragged a bit but I liked this episode. The weekly release is annoying though wish I just got a whole season too double binge.
@@alveolate good observation. I think they miscalculate a bit on where the drama is for the audience. Like I want to see them grappling with a variety if different alternate universes and the consequences. I thought by now they would have given us the seeds of a possible relationship forming between the two so that going back home to his real wife would be way more difficult. Or that his wife would actually like the replacement wayyy more than expected thus revealing how much she hated giving up her painting and own interest.
Each case holds 50 ampoules, Jason2 took two cases, so he now has 100 ampoules, but he told Leighton2 that he only has 50. What is Jason2 planning on doing with 50 more ampoules for himself if he plans to seal up the box so no one can use it once Leighton leaves his home world?
Why is this the only big channel covering this show? All the other search results are about an older, different show also called Dark Matters. Why are people sleeping on this?
Something no one is talking about. Remember a couple of episodes ago when Amanda opened a door and Jason wasn't in the same cell/section when she did it. I don't think this Amanda is the same one he started this journey with. He immediately opened a door and she was there but that universe would have been instantly created at that decision point so was the next door along... Which he opened
I think the reason jason doesnt meet other travellers in the corridor is because they're in different layer. Similar to the end of vivarium where u see layers of worlds people are trapped in. Jaye didnt go to Jason's world on the get go. U can see only half of the vials The reason jaye has a camera is to see whether jason would come out of that box. And also he's a scientist, he's runnin a science experiment on Leighton
Am I the only one that read the book? lol you guys are asking so many questions that have already been answered. The show seems to be diverting a little from the book, but its screen written by the author, so I can’t imagine the big points get axed.
They are only in the corridor or super position when the drug is in effect. When the drug wears off the position collapses and a reality is chosen. That’s why they woke up not in the corridor but in a box after the wetbox incident.
This episode was depressing af. That world of sickness seemed too realistic. But I like how they explore the different outcomes in alternate realities. Definitely got my interest so far. Hopefully they don’t drop the ball
He couldn't close the door with the water rushing in. Once the box was filled with water, the door was able to be closed. Similar to if you are in a car that goes into water....you cannot open the doors of the car to get out until the car is completely submerged.
Too many seemingly "production" glitches to be actual production glitches. What did EJ say he was looking for . . . perfection. There are way too many timelines and uni's to follow at this point. Time to sit back and enjoy the ride, I think. Strap in.
NGL I THOUGHT I was confused when Blair had shown up in another world with Amanda & Jason because I thought I saw Blair B at Daniela B's art gallery when it was REALLY in World A. Turns out I just missed the detail from Episode 1, silly me. RIP Blair C. 🌹🌹 This story is soo good!
This TV show reminds me of the old TV show "Sliders," but with extra steps. I'm really enjoying the series and haven't had a chance to read the books yet.
I'll admit that I got sucked into this show before it started by an excellent interactive ad for it on social media, honestly one of the best ads for a series I've ever seen. I've been watching since the week it premiered on Apple TV, but the first 2 episodes felt slow and it wasn't really holding my attention, requiring multiple stops/starts to finish each of them. Episode 3 picked up with some plot development and exposition ending in exciting fashion, but episode 4 really picked up steam showing us what this show is capable of & delivering the best hour of the show so far. I love a show that makes you think, so Dark Matter feels right up my alley. The convo with "a shot at the chance untaken" towards the end of the episode was perfect, how that one decision can have an insane ripple effect that changes almost everything about someone's life. This episode continues last week's trend of a captivating ending- even if it wasn't as much of an insane cliffhanger as the previous installment, once again I can't wait for Wednesday.
How would sealing the box do anything? The box is only blocked at times because it appears (out of thin air I am assuming) when Jason opens the door somewhere that has no space for them to go into. The box always seems to appear. Even if Jaye seals HIS box, the box Jason is in should just appear and overwrite Jay's box until if and when Jason leaves in his. The fact Jason and Jay are using boxes at the same time shows the boxes are not the same. The only thing that would work is like if Jaye erects a thick concrete wall around his box and that way if and when Jason shows up in his he will be faced with a concrete wall when he opens his door.
I think, Jason- teacher, will end up in a world where his first-born Maximilian is alive. And already an adult like Charlie.He will meet them both. He will not want to leave this world and will act, exacly the way Jason-scientist acted towards him... But at the last moment he will stop and return to the cube. Or they togeher will serch Jason-teacher 1, Home.
I like this show but the more I get into it, the more plot holes I find. The box being in the same point of every world bothers me. Who built it in the other worlds, how does it show up in traffic or above water until the door opens then sinks. I understand the super position when inside the box but the box can’t be in that position as well. I think the intro has more meaning than what we recognize. The person falling while someone tries to save them.
Who inside the box carry that box in every world. It will suddenly appear by itself, when someone inside the box open it. And the box will be still there when they still stay in that world, then the box will disappear when they go back in to that box and go to the other world.
@ohhgetoo Nope, that's not how collapsing a superposition works. Matter isn't created out of nothing. Either there is already a box in the other world, or it has to disappear in the world they came from. But that's not the case, so yeah, plotholes everywhere. That the box sinks actually makes sense however, because it doesn't travel neither in time or space.
Another decent, if a little slow, episode. I havent read the novel (no spoilers please!) so started to get a little concerned that this series could potentially drag on and on and not really go anywhere. I'm hoping there is a proper conclusion and the show doesn't get cancelled at the end of a cliff hanger episode
I was under the impression that Jay was joking about the entirety of what he said about the craziest world he’d been in, but he could’ve just been joking about not having a Mad Max movie in his reality 🤷🏻. Also I wonder if Jay has been visiting back and forth with that lab tech and she’s been working with/keeping it a secret from everyone else 🤔
Regarding Jason waking up dressed, I think it may be he invisioned it as wet but when the drug stopped working he returned to his normal self. I.e. it was in his mind
Superposition they exist in all worlds they explain it in the first episode. they cant remove the box the only thing its possible is to block the access.
When the box appears in a new world it materialises. Once you build one you've built them in all possible realities... but only in the ones where Jason was born. Some infinities are smaller.
@@Vitormarques542Nope, he is right, they can only travel to worlds in which that box exists. They even explain it in this episode, not in regard to the box but to themselves. They can only travel to worlds that are similar and in which they exist/existed as well. Being in superposition only means you can be at several places/states "at once" but not that you can create energy/matter (boxes) from nothing.
What I don't like about the show is, that the box is controlled by one's thoughts and feelings. It's too mysterious and supernatural. They should have done it similar to what was inside the Black Hole in Interstellar. So basically just as an endless array but give the protagonists an infinite amount of time to explore it all, as time does not pass in superposition. Would still be messy, because your body couldn't function without the progression of time, and macro objects can't be in a state of superposition in the first place however, but it would be at least less obviously flawed.
It's not supernatural. They explained that the corridor is manifestation made in/by the mind in order to help the human being navigate the complexity of what would otherwise most likely be some kind of super-dimensional expanse that would be outside of the comprehension of our 3-spacial-dimensional brains. Also, if everything is Quantum Fields, and Consciousness is an Observer and all that jazz, then it makes sense that it would all entangle and work together. And as for the infinite time thing, well, then where are the stakes?
@@eminent_junkie I know, they explained that in the last(?) episode. Makes it even more stupid IMHO, because that means they are basically tripping the whole time. So the water inside the box was supposed to be real, but the corridor just a manifestation? Where do you draw the line between what's real and what's not then? Also the whole idea of "the mind is an observer" is BS. Every interaction with a quantum state is a "measurement". Every photon that hits an eye is a measurement, feeling heat or cold is a measurement and so on. So what is it then, are they lying unconsciously in that box and everything is just a fever dream on drugs, or is it all a "supernatural" fairy-tale with lots of quantum sci-fi buzzwords?
@@nuneke0 So, wouldn’t the “Pilots’” consciousness be interacting with the quantum state? Whether it’s physical or supernatural you can’t deny that consciousness, to us, is “real.” And again, your interpretation of “Observer” is merely one of multiple interpretations of what an “Observer” is.
Infinite worlds infinite versions of ourselves is so hard to comprehend we think we get it I know they're trying, and I think doing a good job of, to do a visual representation but even still there would be infinite versions of Jason's that up until when he woke up in the new Jason's universe was the main character Jason there would be infinite versions of him looking for her and looking to get back to her i wonder if in later episodes that will come up
after thinking about it and the whole what he's capable of conversation .....my guess is it will turn out the so called bad Jason is just another good Jason that couldn't find his world .....that would be neat ....although showing that he's a risk taker earlier goes against this
How is there enough oxygen inside the box/corridor? In the entire thing can't be more atmosphere than what was initially in the box before going into superposition.
Glad this show is turning out to be pretty decent. Apple really going hard in the paint with these multiverse/parallel universe shows, and Constellation did NOT start off well.
how will they kill poor Daniella off next week??? each week it's a new way! How many years is this poor woman going to have to die each week for the rest of her life???? lol
I'm curious how our Jason plans to find out that he's found the right Bad Jay to steal back his original life from. Bad J can just pretend like he's the real Jason in THAT reality. Also, if Jason kills or kidnaps an innocent Jason, then he becomes the bad J in that world.
Clothes getting dried in a dark environment was an editing, cheap production error cos they wouldn't be able to move on for the next scenes with horribly wet dresses and backpacks. Even in a aired home in a dark room it would take a week for clothes to try, they would be in a different shape and smell horrible. Also their hair look perfectly groomed out of hairdresser and skin looked like they had the best resting holiday in a rehab, not like they slept on the floor. One of the reasons I pity this show for being so cheap.
I keep on missing the schroedingers cat Easter egg, I missed it last time when they showed the dead cat in the snow world, and in this episode the cat is in the diner and it’s alive, omg 😱 I didn’t catch on to that I’m so disappointed in myself 😢 I remember the first Easter egg I caught on to was the pizza planet Easter egg in the Pixar films when I was a kid and I think there is some toys from Toy Story in the finding Nemo movies right mannn😂 but the schroedingers cat Easter egg is one that I’m seeing but not realizing that it’s a call back 😮
Hardly Easter eggs at all, only cats in other worlds. A true Schroedinger's cat Easter egg would be if they take one with them inside the box so it would be in superposition. The cats you've mentioned neither are nor were ever in a state of superposition and therefore they are simply cats. Nothing special at all.
How TF did Blair exactly unleash the insects upon this world? I can just about imagine that they followed her from some other world she was exploring into the box, then through the corridor, and then out of the box into this world. This seems to be quite a long way, though. Additionally, she had to operate the heavy door. And I can imagine (though olny with great effort), that they didn't sting her to death along the way, given how quickly they subdue several people once they are out of the box. But what I don't get is this: in order to use the box, you must be under the influence of the drug, right? And this must be true for any organism, human, animal or insect, right? The only reasonable way for the insects to be able to ingest the drug is to sting Blair, thus consuming a bit of it present in her blood. But in doing so they didn't kill her until she and them were out of the box? I mean, this was quite a swarm, there must have been hundreds of them, and their stings had no effect on her all the goddamn time right until exeting the box?
It would take more than 1 week in a dark room for clothes to dry enough for you to be able to wear it. Yet you wouldn't still be able to wear them with ocean salty water and drying in time would make them unwearable . That's why the couldn't continue story line with that look. also look at their hair after being underwater. Perfect hair, perfect skin.
Yooo tell me why I seen a big ass bug like this 2 days ago! I thought it was a bird like a finch! But hell nah that motherfucker was fast asf tried to go inside I shut the door it looked at me it did some wierd shit with the butt of it stinger like stretching and the stinger was pretty big too idk. It had moth like wings wasp like body big building eyes! I'm not imagining this either! I was looking online everywhere to see if there was any prehistoric wasp or something but I haven't seem anything until this show!!
I enjoyed the books, but it does feel like Blake Crouch purposely writes his novels to be adapted on screen; as opposed to focusing on an engaging, written story. Most of his novels are very “blockbuster-esque”, imo. Nothing wrong with it, I guess 🤷♂️
Of course writing down your thoughts won't work. Because you have to stop writing to open the door and the second you stop writing all your thoughts will change from when you were writing.
This show is so damn frustrating. The cast don't act like the college grads that they are supposed to be. Just walking into houses they know are from another world expecting people to be the same as their world. Taking no precautions like having a weapon or survival tools before going into the box the first time. I expected something like sliders but at least Quin wasn't a dumb azz.
lol when they see them selfs one them gets shot you gloss over so many points for a details you missed you missed video i think you missed alot 🤣🤣🤣 really going just slap mad max footage in there
They are definitely showing different versions of Jason and Amanda. Amanda's coat keeps changing. In one scene it's red and the next scene it's tan and made of a different material.
Worst ep. so far. The smart man cant seem to rationally look that its not his wife and move on. Breaks down and the woman has to try and pull him back into reality. Who writes this crap.
the problem here is your psychopathy. he was placed into that reality because it was his greatest fear ,to loose his family to illness. no that was not his wife ,but it was version of his wife that lived there life to a recent point when it because the hell she lived . normal pepole experience empathy with other human beings . to outlive your child is the worse fate that can befall any one ,so normal pepole would feel her pain and knowing she was about to die would only amplify the grief we feel ,yes even for strangers. but she is not a stranger he knows her ,he knows the sound she makes when she cries the joy in her face as she looked down on there baby . just to kick the ass out of how much on the spectrum you are , my wife cried in this ep and its fictional tv show . seriously ,where you at funerals wondering what the hell all the sorrow is about as it was good buffet, but learned as you got older to fake the response of normal pepole ?
@@fig1115 Normal people realize the situation they are in that is dire and act accordingly not break down and put themselves at risk. He switched roles and became the woman. She had to pull him back to reality. The reality is his wife wasnt dead and he needs to find the right reality to get back to her not keep making stops at every reality and break down. Who cares if your wife cried but it proves my point. What was more important having a moment with a women who is not his wife or moving on and getting back to his wife. Im sorry you would be useless in a bad situation because you couldnt seem to grasp the bigger picture and be the strong person. You sound weak.
@@Slax15 You are both right. I think the point of the whole episode was to establish even more contrast between the "good" and the "bad" Jason just to tear it all back down later on when they might reveal that they are not so different after all.
why tf the choose career jaye choosed to end family jason life & live in their, when he's the one who choosed his career over his kid back then? Then why did choose to do all this
Is Episode 5 the last episode? If it is I was totally disappointed...maybe there'll be another season...even if there is, the way they ended that ep was total trash!
More and more shows will be aired weekly again, since studios can't keep up with producing quality shows. There are literally not many good stories left worth telling so they need to dial down the pace. Which is a good thing IMHO, binging one show after another isn't healthy.
@@nuneke0 More like streamers want to retain viewers for a longer time, rather than folks subscribing, binging all the shows they want to see in a week, and then unsubscribing. Weekly releases ameliorates this somewhat.
This is why I love this show, it reminds me of an old multiverse series called Sliders. With regards to the whole why in one scene they were half naked and waiting for their clothes to dry to next sleeping fully clothed, I think its a simple timeskip, where their clothes dried and they put them back on. I love these kinds of alternate worlds. I hate how modern multiverse stories only show worlds, similar to ours (but with slight differences), ones where Nazi's took over, etc.
