First Look: Season 2 of Science's John Noble Series Dark Matters

Was aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh an American Nazi? Did a Hungarian musician's song trigger 18 suicides? How did a lobotomy doctor earn the Nobel Prize? Fringe star John Noble answers those, and some even creepier questions, as the host of Science's Dark Matters: Twisted But True. Dark Matters returns for its second season Saturday at 10/9c.

"We're not Mythbusters, but we've looked at events that people only shadily know of or perhaps have heard about, and reveal answers."
