Well, I thought the best line in Dark Matter 1.6 on Apple TV+ today came from Jason 1 to Amanda 2 about their having visited "a bunch of Chicagos" so far, and none of them were too good.
But that was only one of many good lines in this episode, and the series has now progressed, in my opinion, from excellent to outstanding.
[And here's the place I'll advise you about spoilers ahead ... ]
I'll bullet some of the best moments:
- Jason 2 gets Charlie 1 some ice cream with nuts, and he has to be rushed to the emergency room where he's saved. I'm hoping this was just an accident and not something much worse, and I wouldn't put much past Jason 2. He does give his son who's not his son an Epinephrine shot, and that more than the hospital was actually key to saving him. But Daniela 1 is hit hard by this in any case, the worst in a list of events and characteristics including flossing and leaving keys in the wrong place that's feeding her suspicion.
- To top off Daniela's misgivings about Jason 2, he takes her to an art show where one of her paintings is hanging, and she's moved to tears -- of fury, because she wasn't finished with the painting yet, and the last thing she wanted was to show it to the public.
- But lest you think Jason 2 is a good guy, he strands poor Ryan in one of those infinite Chicagos.
- And here's a thing I really liked in this episode: lots of time for Amanda 2 and Amanda 1. She's a pivotal character, and Jason 1 may be falling in love with her (he's certainly a consummate gentleman, asking Amanda to leave their bed, though he'd certainly like to sleep with her, in both meanings of that word).
- And last but not least, an at-once high and low scene at the end of this episode has Jason 2 following through on his vow to seal off or lock up his box/corridor to alternate realities.
