That didn't take long at all, and now my brain is officially f'ed. With every passing minute, I believed we were getting closer to unravelling the mystery, but by the time the credits rolled, I was much more perplexed than when I had begun watching. Those who loved the psychological suspense of “Dark” will appreciate this. Compared to the first episode, this episode felt much more polished. I can't think of another show that uses the fact that its characters speak various languages and have trouble communicating as a central narrative feature, so I'm glad to see it here. It enriches the experience but leaves us with a foreboding feeling since I can easily imagine the language barrier becoming a significant factor in a future conflict.
So far, the programme has had a feel quite similar to “Lost,” and I wonder if it will borrow any ideas from that show. The hatch, in particular, seemed reminiscent of “Lost”. If you enjoy mysteries and haven't watched “Lost,” I highly recommend it. Thinking about it now, I should definitely give “Lost” another watch. Digressions aside, let's get to the things I noticed in this episode.
(Spoilers Ahead)
— We see the ship being watched at the end and monitored in colour; does this indicate multiple timeframes? Or perhaps it's even more complicated than that. The story is set in 1899, yet a short Google search reveals that colour televisions didn't appear until the late 1940s, much beyond the time period depicted in the show.
— Is it possible that the crew member's claim that the youngster is to blame for the deaths on this ship be factual?
— I'm curious about the significance of the mysterious Triangle symbol that appears everywhere.
— Is it possible that Daniel—the mysterious man who boards the Kerberos—is actually Maura's son or maybe her father? Or My gut tells me he's the strange kid, so I'm going with that. — Clémence is curious whether or not she has met Jérôme before. Is it just me, or could this hint towards something?
— The only accurate conclusion to be drawn is that time travel, or timey-whimey events, are indeed taking place.
@suitabilitya son angle seems like a direction theyd take for her. they did make a point of including that she cant have children. all interesting theories
