Dark Matter - Season 2 Episode 4 Breakdown

Well, I will say that I feel like I've been fairly tapped into this OG family dynamic.

Yeah, you're doing good.

And what kind of was coming for the family, a lot of it comes out in this episode.

Not verbatim what I was saying.

A lot of it is, is different, but kind of the, you know, the central ideas of what happens with Charlie's character, with Daniela's character, is kind of what I've been looking out for this season.

So I'm excited to talk about that, and then also just excited to see where that stuff goes after this episode.

And then this feels like recency bias.

I almost want to say the conversation with Evil Jay and Amanda in the pub, in the tavern, is one of the best scenes of the entire series.

Okay.

I, I thought it was so-

Okay

... unbelievably good.

Uh, the, the writing I thought was very, very high level.

I wrote down, like, every quote from the whole thing 'cause I'm like, "Okay." They started and I started writing some things down, and I was like, "Oh, my God, it keeps going." Like, they're just saying great things, and I ended up basically writing down every single word from the entire scene.

Obviously, I will not recite all of it, but I'm excited to talk about that stuff.

And then I know, because we talked about it before the podcast, but there is a Leighton conversation needs to be had of [laughs] we gotta sort out these Leightons.

Yeah.

Because that was an interaction between this Leighton we see at the end of last episode, and OG J, that I thought was gonna be much bigger than what it-

Right

... turns out to be.

It's incredibly quick, but even in that quickness, it throws everything into a blender and it's like, "Okay, we gotta talk about some stuff." So I...

Luke, you mentioned this was the shortest episode, I believe, but I loved it.

Mm-hmm.

I thought this episode was awesome.

Everything felt like it was hitting at a million percent.
