Dark Matter

I'd say that's a fair subversion of expectations.

I was annoyed about the gunpowder thing because the box is made out of billions of dollars and decades of material science to be a perfect insulator - 30 seconds with a drill and that thing is fucked beyond repair.

And then, it becomes obvious the dumb plan is just him stalling, and then of course the 'duh' moment - it obviously appeared out of nowhere the first time, why wouldn't it do it again ?

I approve.

I just binged the whole show over the last week. The entire time he's getting ready to destroy it I'm just sitting there thinking, there's no way he's that dumb. It's obvious the box manifests itself into existence. It literally happened in his world and in this one he's in with no technology. He wouldn't be so dumb not to connect the fact that a universe without microchips somehow has a box in a school pool.

My other nitpick of the show is them walking down the corridors of doors. I don't understand why this is a thing, outside of just them wanting them to move around for camera shots. But they've stated several times the doors themselves don't matter. They could sit at the same door for hours and open up different worlds. It's not a big deal, but just a bit of a bizarre shooting choice that doesn't make sense with what the characters have said.

The infinite versions of themselves is also something that makes sense, but with Leighton for instance travelling a ton, presents a lot of problems as now there are infinite versions of him in basically every universe. Essentially the Jason 1 problem but now for every universe he's visiting and revisiting.

There was also a "Dark Matters" hosted by John Noble.
