WARNING! SPOILERS for Doctor Who 14x07/1x07, 'The Legend of Ruby Sunday'. As the Fifteenth Doctor's first season of Doctor Who rapidly draws to a close, fans have been treated to the return of Sutekh, God of Death, a classic villain from the Fourth Doctor story 'The Pyramids of Mars'.

Review of 'Dark Matter' 1.1-1.4
Dark Matter, the first two episodes of which debuted on Apple TV+ two week ago, is the third alternate reality narrative I've seen on the screen in the past month (see my reviews of Quantum Suicide, a film created by Gerrit Van Woudenberg which should be streaming on some major place by the Fall, and Constellation, another series on Apple TV+). All three bounce off the at-once famous and infamous Schrödinger's cat. Quantum Suicide has the feel of Primer and the work-at-home scientist. Dark Matter has a similar feel. And I'm beginning to think I don't want to think about these matters too hard, because the more I think about them, the more I think it's possible that I could be in an alternate reality myself, right now. But, hey, I'm so dedicated to doing this review, I think I'll risk it, anyway.
