Dark S2E7 - S2E8 Parallels

Dark S2E7 - S2E8 Parallels

Parallels different, but the same Martha x Jonas Martha x the Stranger She knows it’s her Jonas, because he will always react the same when she touches his face. I know all this thing is still a taboo, but there is a beauty in their emotions and facial expressions anyway.  I cannot imagine, how it might feel to wait 33 years for the love of your life, who died in your arms, to touch your face again.  When I look at the Stranger I truly see Jonas. Martha had just observed the same.

What a beautiful parallel! Martha is questioning her reality in conversation with Jonas ones again.

Question is though: "What When is not déjà vu in this TV series"?

Dark S2 E5 thoughts on Jonas x Martha dream

(beware of spoilers for the whole season)

I saw that some people here were creeped out of seeing the dream scene from 5th episode of Dark's new season.

Imho, the dream with the Stranger and Martha was beautiful, dramatic and disturbing. From where I see it, Jonas as the Stranger is an emotionaly scarred adult, who lost the love of his life, when he was young. This is how he remembers her, young and beautiful in his hands, beeing happy together when everything was normal and nobody knew the truth. She still haunts him and he is trying to make things right. And he keep seeing those dreams of their moment of intimacy, which causes the Dark matter starting to form out of her belly as an allusion of their connection triggering the black hole to open and the loop to exist.

This dream is a memory projected onto the screen of his new reality, as they where both 16-17 when it happened in the first place. Him being 49 years old now and her still being 17ish, is not the main reason for the scene to be seen as wrong, cause it's just a memory. He changed, she didn't. Would this scene be easier for us to accept, if they were both the same age? Maybe. We've seen those two dreams already. But Jonas grew up, and she never will. The love making scene is probably his last happy memory of her. And in that crazy world, can we judge him for having these dreams?

It's actually the dark matter formation that makes this dream a nightmare, I've found more disturbing. And it's the dark matter stuff that wakes him up all in a cold sweat. That's what makes it ominous.

I mean, she is still his aunt, we don't forget that. But the family trees here are so intertwined, that it's not even that disturbing anymore. You can be your own grandma in this show, for God's sake! In Dark your daughter could give a birth to you, and send you back in time, so you would marry your own granddad and give birth to your mom and your aunt!

Who still thinks that dearly loving a girl, who loves you back and with whom you're a perfect match, apart from the fact she is your aunt, is that bad?!

Oh, this season is blowing my mind...

"Dark" Netflix puns: Safety guide how to not make out with your own relative in Winden

If somebody approaches you, ask them of their bloodline and a family tree.

Carefully check it with your own.

There's still no guarantee, don't trust people who tell you otherwise!

Just leave the town for good.

Never stop running.

Leave the country.

Go to a different world with a girl who looks like your aunt.

Repeat in a different world in case of no success.

Free tip: Try not to become a mother of your mother or kiss your aunt.

If you love them and just can't help yourself, I guess it's fine, according to the writers of Dark.

Perfection!

Guys... I have found this masterpiece on YouTube today and I've never seen a better video on Dark Season 2. This is a “must watch” situation.  The parallels, the quotes, the music, the editing - they're as close to perfection as it could get. 

I do not own anything, just sharing a beautiful video created by littlesociopath with you all. 

Me, after finishing the second season of Dark: thinking that now I can re-watch the first season more thoughtfully, focusing on a concept of time and free will, staying absolutely calm.

Also me, a half an hour into the first episode of S1: crying my eyes out after hearing Mikkel say "Ultimate fist bump", having zero chill about any on-screen interaction between family members, realising that Bartosz was able to steal Martha away by telling her that Jonas hooked up with French chicks 24/7 for the last two months, heartbroken over any detail that make those rare beautiful smiles dissapear from Jonas' face, unable to get over Michael's suicide, ending up being depressed.
