Story Question
Why Does Dark Matter Focus On Choices Instead Of Time Travel?
Short Answer
Dark Matter focuses on choices because the story is about alternate lives created by decisions, not changing the past through time travel.
Why This Changes The Story
Time travel usually asks whether the past can be changed. Dark Matter asks whether another version of your life would actually make you happier.
Why Choices Matter More Than Dates
Every major conflict comes from decisions: Jason2 choosing ambition, Jason1 choosing family, and the family choosing uncertainty together.
What This Means Emotionally
By focusing on choices, Dark Matter turns science fiction into a story about regret, identity, and acceptance.
