Dark Matter

66Worth an evening.

He learns every other life costs the one he already has.

The review

Dark Matter is a multiverse thriller about a Chicago physicist and professor yanked off his ordinary night walk home into lives he might have chosen. What holds up is the real labor of science and teaching he leaves, and the wife and child who stay the point of return.

Wonder turns to dread once every other self becomes the rival, and the only way out is back to the life already given. It stays with fidelity over fantasy and leaves the family that was waiting, not the web of might-have-beens.

The Dick Van Dyke Show

65Worth an evening.

Worth an evening. A marriage and a job, and the marriage is not the punch line.

The review

He writes for a television star. She is his wife, not his straight man, though she can land the line. The neighbors and the writers are a company. What distinguishes the half hour from the other famous rooms of the decade is that the marriage is the prize the plot is not allowed to spend. A lie big enough to threaten the house is treated as a problem. A joke at her expense has to be worth it, and often it is not allowed to be.

It lived near the top of the ratings and earned the seat. I would put it on before most of the other comedies of these years if a house wants one. Watch an episode about the office and an episode about the living room. Ask which one required an apology. The show usually knows. That knowledge is the inheritance, more than the physical comedy, though the physical comedy is why people still stop on it.

The glance

Piety and Republic are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
