NOC Recaps ‘Dark Matter’ S2, E5: Upper Hand

This week’s Dark Matter recap goes off-script in the best way, following an alternate Jason’s years-long detour through grief, family, and reluctant love — all set to Pearl Jam’s “Upper Hand.” We’re calling it one of the most moving episodes of genre TV we’ve seen all year.

Four men, including alternate versions of Jason and Ryan, confront each other tensely in a dark corridor in Dark Matter.

Dark Matter episode four takes its cue from Pearl Jam’s “Won’t Tell,” and we dig into how the song’s themes of doubt and self-forgiveness echo through Jason2 and Amanda’s reconciliation, Leighton’s guilt, and Daniela and Jason’s crumbling retro-world marriage.

Jason and Daniela lie in bed together in a scene from Dark Matter, with the subtitle "I've already boxed and bagged most of the wreckage" on screen.
