Dark Season 3 Teaser Theories & Thoughts:

Dark Season 3 teaser theories & thoughts:

If in the parallel universe where there is no Jonas, Martha is a main protagonist and a main time traveler, does it make Martha not an alternative Martha, but an alternative Jonas?

Who is this new person that we have seen in three different time periods? Could it be Hannah's child who she raised to end everything?

Okay, and now all the thoughts and the reaction more or less chronologically ordered as the teaser goes:

Why there is no one in the Time Church, while those three versions of a person were setting the whole thing on fire? Where are the adult versions Magnus and Franziska?

Who wrote that letter to Jonas? Was it the same young Noah gave to the adult Jonas? Nah, but it looked quite freshly written. Was it from the alternative Martha?

Why Martha looks so terrified and a bit disgusted? Who's she talking to?

Why there is the phrase "Can we change the course of events" during Michael's suicide?! Excuse me? For two seasons you were telling us that we cannot, cause when we try - we make things worse. So can we, or can we not?

Oo, good to know that Magnus and Franziska will be together in the alternative universe too. Teens deserve some piece of happiness in this mess.

Oh, everything is on fire, but the candles!! That's my life this year.

Okay, the adult Jonas is in the old house, so I presume it's more or less 1888.

Why are they shushing Claudia's secretary? (That woman must be protected, she is a ray of sunshine)

Is it Mikkel's look alike hitting someone with a rock? I can't imagine Mikkel doing that... Judging by the outfits it's 80s though...

Hello, Alternative Claudia or an adult Claudia in the alternative world, it that the moment you were telling us about? Being in the world without Jonas? I'd like to see how that plays out.

Why in the name of sanity Elizabeth is covered in blood & dirt and trembling with fear? I know she'll be a badass when she grows up, but please don't traumatize the child...

Why this new person (3 in 1) is trying to kill Bernd Doppler?

*Gasp* I thought that old Helge was dead!

Too many colours at once, moving on...

Martha is wearing the yellow raincoat... Wait, what? Martha is wearing the yellow raincoat!! It's the ultimate symbol of a naïve time-travelling protagonist. But what does it mean for the plot..?

Is it Martha's grown up version of herself who she was talking to? Is she Eve, or something?

When is Adam?? Is it still 2020 or 2053 already?

That's pretty much sums it up...

Let me know your thoughts and theories in the note section:)

P.S.: I love that no matter what, the season release dates are matching the main event dates of the previous season.

And hey, they predicted the Apocalypse in 2020. Sure looks like it.

Me after Dark S3E5:

Dark S3E7

In between time...

The most wonderful recap and explanation of what happened during the centuries and what lead us to this moment.

Full of surprises and unexpected plot turns, and yet designed so everything will find it's place and be exactly where and when it needs to be.

Wow.

Dark S3E4

Ohh, so this is the beginning... Makes a lot of sense one I have seen it.

All this careful manipulations, directing them to do this one thing.

Well, as they say, we are not free in what we do, because we are not free in what we desire.

P.S. Also loved all the interactions in '54. A lot of my questions have been answered.

Dark S3E1

Extreme spoiler alert!

Just finished the episode.

Definitely need to share my thoughts about the final scene. (And the whole episode)

My God, he doesn't know who she is!! Does it mean that it never happened before? Or did he lose his memory? It breaks my heart how happy he was to see her, and how his hope was taken away from him again. Because it's not his Martha.

However, the fact that she wants help him to find the origin and to begin it all gives me the vibe that Martha 2.0 is also being manipulated by her older self, otherwise how whould she know what exactly to do and where/when to search for The Stranger?

Should we also talk about all the same or mirrored events and details worth mentioning?

Let's go:

The mirrored date of "the beginning"

The house exterior/interior (it really is mirrored)

Martha waking up like Jonas

Martha sniffing the milk to be sure it's safe to drink it (like Jonas did)

Morning routine of a Nielsen family shown in a long take

A family photo with a ripped out family member

Morning sex in a red house with someone interrupting it and one of the partners escaping through a window in a hoodie

Ulrich is coming back to his wife much later, explaining it by a line in a bakery. (And I am surprised by Hannah's looks... For a moment there I thought he wasn't cheating, I've got that tiny light of hope, but then this happened)↓

"Ich liebe dich"..."Schön bist du" (That explained me everything I needed to know about their relationship)

A protagonist in a yellow raincoat riding a bike and seeing a note about missing of Eric

"Don't forget to breathe" - well, that's old. "Don't forget to think" - oh, that's new. Glad Martha is standing up for herself here.

Martha is kissing someone and the other person who likes her, standing there uncomfortably

The headmaster

"It will happen again", and gosh, I expected it to be your ear

Doppler's marriage presumably having issues

Oh, Wöller, it's so lovely to see you in one piece! (*a second later* Are you effing kidding me?!)

A hair on your husband's hoodie that isn't yours

An explanation about how the black holes are formed by a diligent student

Someone is asking how the other person is doing after the death of his/hers partner in a conversation with a power plant director.

A meeting between Katharina and Hannah that actually leaves Katharina smiling

A kiss in the evidence room between Ulrich and his mistress

The play rehersal

Franziska and Magnus doing it in a small room mirroring their first time in Jonases world, but there is small plot twist too! (And I also love that they have strong feelings for each other)

The talkative Doppler girl! At last!

A visit to a graveyard

Alexander and Erik's dad are up to something again

Oh. The "déjà-vu" déjà-vu. I have seen it and I have heard it somewhere. You know... "Das Licht. Der Wald... Oder ein Fehler in der Matrix"

The meeting under the bridge

The cave incident

Protagonist falling and seeing & hearing someone covered in black paint

The appearance of Mads

The protagonist's possible love interest recognises the older version of the protagonist.

Jonas is terrified, confused and happy at the same time because he sees Martha, being sure that she is his Martha, only to be left heart broken and more confused.

I would call this episode "a way to mirror-recap two seasons in one over adding more details that will blow your mind"

An absolute effing masterpiece.

I am thrilled to bring able to watch it.

And a bit tired of typing 😂

I remember the first time i watched Dark, and i still get the chills whenever i watch it (by now i watched it at least 10 times) because it's such a bold story not afraid of stepping into paradoxes and what the heck revelations which i find so refreshing, most time travel stories i've read/watched walk the same lines, it feels people didn't know how to approach time travel really, dark is my one and only. I'm a bit scared for season 3 because of that.

Well, we should thank Baran bo Odar for it:) I can only imagine how one's mind can create such complicated, but consistent story and didn't leave any loose ends. Everything is where it's supposed to be, the events that seem to be ordinary at first are interconnected and have an influence on the story.

Probably, that's a huge benefit of creating a tv series having a complete story in mind and a clear vision of the rules of time traveling. Thus, the show has fixed amount of seasons from the beginning and all the dots will eventually connect.

I also love how they approach paradoxes and how weirdly understandable they seem. If one is in a time loop one cannot change - everything is possible and there is no beginning and no end. So the book can exist without being freshly written in the first place, more like copied from itself.

I'd say that most of the TV series or movies approaching the time travel on such a scale don't make it look so smooth and easy to grasp for the viewer. Even the show's revelations, which are wonderfully timed and truly mind-bending actually make a lot of sense once the audience let them sunk in.

To be fair, I'm also a tiny bit afraid to watch S3 just because I'm so passionate about the show. I don't know how to handle it if there will be some plot holes or some things won't make sense. However, it's the show's creators we are talking about, and they are as passionate as we are (if not more) to make the series in the best way possible. Thus, S3 should be great in any case.

P.S.: I am not sure if I answered your question, or if there was a question to begin with, but I am glad we both shared our thoughts about Dark :)
