This Dark Matter Theory Perfectly Connects The Apple TV+ Show To The Book Despite Key Changes

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Dark Matter episodes 1 & 2, as well as details about the ending of the original book, which could spoil the show's eventual conclusion.

Related Every Apple Sci-Fi TV Show, Ranked Worst To Best Apple TV+ is known for its incredible original shows, especially in the sci-fi genre. Here is the ranking of every Apple TV+ sci-fi original series. Some of the Dark Matter alterations are small and have likely just been tweaks that have taken place during the adaptation process. However, the show also makes some notable changes and even additions to the book's lore. For instance, Ryan Holder offering Jason a job in San Francisco during Dark Matter episode 1, "Are You Happy in Your Life?" doesn't happen in the book.

Jason's story in the Dark Matter book universe is very similar to that of his counterpart in the Apple TV+ show. So, while the two realities share a lot of the same twists and turns, the journey of both versions of the character isn't identical. For instance, Jason's decontamination procedure at Velocity Laboratories is described as an incredibly painful procedure in the book, whereas it looks fairly routine in the Dark Matter TV show.

Therefore, Edgerton's Jason can't achieve the exact same feat as the book's hero and would have to be reunited with his original wife and son from the universe in which the Apple show begins. To keep things slightly more streamlined, it would make sense to keep Jason from the TV show and the Jason from the Dark Matter book separated throughout the story - but that doesn't mean they can't both exist at the same time in other realities.

So, the book version of Jason could appear in the show, but his success would need to play out in exactly the same way so the novel is unaltered. This would lead to a darker ending for Joel Edgerton's Jason Dessen, as he would have to stand defeated as one of the masses of Jasons who lost out on their chance to resume a happy family life as if nothing had ever happened.
