Is this the one with the guy who shadow is dark matter and whoever walks into it dies?
Yup.
How does scully know that it the womans remains at the lab? Was she able to analyse them?
And if the guy was so afraid of his shadow killing people (I take it, if he dies then it will stop killing) then why didn't he just jump in frount of a train at the station? he sure seemed depressed anyway to suicide would not be out of the question in the mental state he was in.
Answering *waaay* after the question was asked, but I thought the reason he didn't kill himself was precisely because he didn't know what would happen to the dark matter when he died -- it might just as easily have 'escaped' and swallowed the whole world.
Why was his shadow seemingly only squashing people, not everything it was cast on?

Phil mentioned that in his guide, too. The only possible explanation the writers might've had in mind is proposed by N.E. Genge in his companion: Everything - that is, subatomic particles - in nature seems to go by pairs of opposites - in terms of charge, mass, velocity, there usually exists an anti-particle - so maybe a shadow cast by a human being somehow only reacts to other human beings.
PAL: In the preview, we see a woman being swallowed by the shadow, and I was afraid for our beloved Scully. Turns out it was her former student, who looked similar to Scully in hairdo and figure.
When the police man approach the Doc outside the train station, he warns them to stay away in very unclear wording. Why didn't he say "stay away, I'm a doc and carry a highly contagious disease, I don't want to infect you, keep a distance of 5 meters"? This isn't the whole truth, but people would understand the idea of a contagious disease much better and quicker than his explanation about dark matter shadows.
When the emergency lighting kicks on during Mr. X kidnap attempt, the light inside the Doc's room suddenly is no longer soft, but harsh enough to throw shadows so the two goons are killed. How can bulbs configured to give soft light suddenly give harsh light when used with emergency power? Or does the hospital have two seperate lighting systems, with seperate bulbs, one operating of the normal power grid, one operating of the emergency generator? Wouldn't that be rather costly and complicated, or is this standard procedure in hospitals?
