No one left to stand up to you.
But I think you’ll come to sorely regret that.Homelander:
And why is that?Stan Edgar:
Because there’s no one left to cover for you, either.
Eventually, probably soon, the world will recognize you for the pitiful disappointment you are.
You are not worthy of my respect.

“If this was really Ronnie, why is he coming back now? Seven years after he died.” Let me tell you why Barry, because the writers are grasping at straws here trying to come up with new ideas.
Did Cecile even get to know Ronnie? Can she and Barry try and be a little less condescending? That being said, I hate that they were right at the end. When will Caitlin finally have a chance to be truly happy again?

Most of those arguments, in both directions, were all so shallow. These characters should have enough experience with complex and layered situations to be much more cautious about being so sure about anything based on so little.
Those arguments could have been so much more interesting, and not even all that much longer, if the characters had just been written and directed as experienced people who could think.

...one of the few TV series that didn't treat the viewer like an idiot.
So few shows are willing to take the risk that viewers are smart and willing enough to ponder what they see and figure things out. The only other show I can think of that truly does this is Netflix's Dark. The truly rare gems.

@van-nyx, I'm not disagreeing; it's been a very interesting take on Gideon's development, and I wouldn't object to their continuing it. Just noting that this particular development seems to reinforce the idea that it's time may be more limited than some of us might like—and that losing her in this way wouldn't necessarily mean losing her entirely.

Great episode but here we go with the CW bringing sexuality in as a subject where its not required or been asked for. This series has been amazing, DO NOT start to change things and PC it into a shit show.

On a serious note, this was a solid finale, but it was not without a couple of cop-outs along the way. Still, it was thoroughly enjoyable, and after watching it in English in order to ensure that I missed as little as possible, I plan to rewatch it sometime soon in the original German.

But the Mystery of Torben's Eye lives on... ;-)
That sounds like it should be a follow-on short-story, doesn't it?
Or a new exclamation known only to Dark fans. "By Torbin's Eye...!"

Perfect finale.

Imagine the level of confusion this could have added to that Dawn of Justice scene.
I'm sure the writers had a second name for the show and it was: "what the actual F is going on. I don't understand shit". That wasn't too commercial and they stuck with "Dark".
My sister asked me yesterday why the show is called Dark. Well, I guess we just found out.
My stomach actually hurts. This was by far the saddest and best episode of Dark. I loved it more than words can describe, but it got really dark.
I love how the more you watch, the more tragic their lives get. I rememeber thinking nothing could be more tragic than Mikkel's. Then, Ulrich's. But Katharina's life is so freaking tragic. That poor thing got killed by her own mother who then went back home to abuse her at a young age. And the same day she's killed, Mikkel returns to the same home she's been living in for God knows how long. Seriously, that scene with the broken window and Mikkel looking at it got to me the most. Well, that and Ulrich waiting for Katharina at the entrance. Two really powerful scenes. I'm heartbroken just thinking about him standing there waiting for her to rescue him and see their son again.
Also, that scene in season two, when they're at the lake and Bartosz's telling the story of a lady who downed in the lake to scare Martha, he was talking about Katharina! That's just messed up. So Bartosz scared Martha with a tale about Martha's mum pulling her down in the lake. This episode made one of the happiest scene on the whole show look even darker.
The scene of Helene abusing young Katharina was brutal. She's abused by her mother, doesn't want to have kids because she'll end up like her mother, has three kids, her husband cheats on her with Hannah, who also sleeps with her son and who she's named after, then her son Mikkel goes missing, she ends up neglecting her other kids, her husband also goes missing and is trapped in an asylum, she goes back to save him and ends up being murdered by her own mother without seeing her son.
Also, the trailer scene with Elizabeth and Peter was beautifully shot. It felt like a nightmare. And the fact that she's deaf made it 10 times worse. I got the feeling that Elizabeth was gonna end up killing Peter and that it was gonna be the cause of her change from sweet girl to a badass in the future. But I guess I was wrong although, if she hadn't picked up that pocket knife, Peter wouldn't have probably died.
By looking at the paper where young Noah wrote I realized it looks like he was saying that Charlotte and Elizabeth were at the caves, which is technically true.
Also, who was that guy at the RV? At first, I thought it was Erik's dad, but I'm inclined to believe that it was just a random guy.
And what's the deal with H. G. Tannhaus' son? He spoke about two women who seemed delivering him Charlotte. I bet they were adult Elizabeth and Charlotte, who went back to the past sent by Adam to kidnap young Charlotte and deliver her to Tannhaus.
Now, our Jonas getting killed was shocking but as previous events have shown, this Jonas' only purpose was to sleep with Alt-Martha, get her pregnant and so create the whole family tree. So there were, in fact, two Jonas. Like Schrödiger Jonas. Two different decisions at the same moment created two different versions of Jonas. So, since adult Jonas is the one that ends up being Adam, our Jonas was sort of a time remnant (in The Flash terms), someone who exists with just one purpose. Sort of like a Meeseeks type of thing. You exist with one purpose and once that purpose is completed, you disappear. And suddenly, Jonas' transformation into Adam starts to make sense.
Also, that last shot of Jonas on the floor with the family trees definitely looked like wings.
I love the mirroring this season. In our world, Adam killed Martha. And now, Martha kills Jonas. The irony. Also, there were waaaay too many Marthas in that room.
In another show, I wouldn't give it much thought but this is Dark so, what did Alt-Martha want to say to Jonas in the morning when they woke up? She stopped herself from talking. I'm sure it means something.
I couldn't help but laughing when Charlotte and Peter were talking and they said "She's not deaf, you know" in front of Elizabeth.
The journey the Saint Christopher's locket has been on is amazing. So it started with Egon Tiedemann, who gave it to Hannah/Katharina, who gave it to young Helene, who lost it in the lake to be found years later by Jonas and Martha repaired it and gave it to Jonas who then gave it to Alt-Martha. That's quite a journey it's been on.
loading replies
Interesting thought with the time-remnant analogy. That would also explain why adult Jonas (back in 1888) has no memory of meeting an alt-Martha back then.
OTOH, in that case, where's the "real" young Jonas that eventually grows into adult Jonas (and thus into Adam)?
Or are we going to find that when alt-Martha showed up to collect him, she actually somehow sent the "real" Jonas somewhere/somewhen safe from the imminent Apocalypse (from which he has not yet emerged) while branching off the remnant to bring home...?
Arrggh. Brain hurt.

Yet another solid outing from start to finish, but did I miss an explanation along the way for how Ulrich was able to go back 66 years instead of just 33?

I suspect it's because, within the tunnels past the first gate (in the caves), he turned left instead of right.

I'm thinking Beth is pretty useful when she fully connects with the goggles, but far less so when the goggles aren't working so well; made it seem recklessly dangerous to have her there at all this time.
OTOH, she is the one who found Mike.

Yeah, good question. I suspect that she's simply been Kryptonian-fused much longer than the others, longer enough that her transfer has probably been fully complete for some time already.
How did all those people fall all that way and survive after being made back into humans at such height? :rofl:

Yeeaaahh. I can think of some possible explanations (such as they become disoriented and fell right away but their powers took a little longer to fully disappear), but it would have been good to include a line or two at least acknowledging that question.

That did feel kinda forced, like "I don't like what he's saying, so I'm just gonna dismiss everything he said because he's male." (Then again, it could just be a clumsy grasp 'cause she's clearly not feeling well and now all this.)
Now, if she'd said "batsplaining", that'd be different. :-)
Regardless of american shows always romanticizing some older presidents like Lincoln and JFK, I truly never got Diego’s obsession with saving Kennedy, especially cause they were trying to fix the timeline and prevent doomsday so in order to do they had to respect the events of the original timeline meaning letting Kennedy die.
Just a little comparison, in Timeless there was this character Rufus, who timetraveled and you could see the conflict of him wanting to intervine to save Lincoln or trying to end racism and hatred by altering certain events and changing the timeline forever, and obviously you understood his reasoning and the morality behind his actions but I just don’t see that with Diego like what was his connection with JFK? Literally none. I mean it’s not that big of a deal but the whole season I’ve been like trying to figure out what is going on there.loading replies
I just got the impression that Diego was just (desperately, unconsciously) looking for something clear and actionable latch on to; he fixated on the idea that saving JFK was the answer because he wanted something simple and heroic like saving JFK to be the answer. Seems like something Diego would do barring any real information suggesting otherwise.
A gay guy that’s not a hug it out guy. That doesn’t even make sense. And what’s up with a gay meta human. And this show loves giving away Flash’s identity to anyone off the street.
loading replies
Is there something about being gay that causes or requires hugginess?
Is there something about being gay that protects against anything that might turn one into a meta-human?
(Such as Obsidian, The Ray, Thunder, XS, etc.)
BTW, the original comic-book Pied Piper was gay. (See, e.g., The Flash #53, August 1991.)

It was made in a bit of a rush compared to the usual scheduling due to a determination to get at least one more episode out to viewers in order to close out the season after COVID-19 shutdowns cut off any chance of finishing the original live-action plan for this episode and the rest of the season.

You've watched it once and now you know you've got to watch it again to understand half of what you missed out with the three timelines.
I enjoyed it the first time but I dare say I'll enjoy it better the second time around.
As for it being Netflix's 'Game of Thrones'… it can't compare with the seasons based on G.R.R. Martin's novels. The rushed seasons that those two idiots "wrote" without being able to base themselves on the novels don't count.
Altogether, I'm looking forward to season two.
