Dark S3E1
I am 34 minutes in and am not okay.
I think I am having a breakdown. I just paused it, made several laps around the room, reminding myself how to breathe. It's too much, I can't handle it.
It's like if you woke up one day, and all the mirrors are somehow showing you not-mirrorred version of yourself. And it's confuses you to the core.
Also I can sum up my thoughts about the half of S3E1 to:
"Oh, so it's ok here, different but so similar.
*3 seconds later*
Wait, what? Man, just hold on a minute, just..."
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 😂
