Sci-Fi This Week: Dark Matter Visits A Parallel Universe

Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy

It’s the middle of the sophomore season for Syfy’s Dark Matter, and that means it’s about time for that classic sci-fi trope that we love so much: the parallel universe!

On Friday’s episode the Raza crew tests out the experimental Blink Drive, only to find themselves thrust into a world that is both like, and very unlike, their own.

Fear the Walking Dead returns this weekend on AMC, with an 8-episode run to fill out the rest of the show’s second season. The teaser trailer makes it look like the show is amping things up and will be introducing new characters, now that the families have reached Mexico. Take a look below.
