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 😂

Spoiler alert!

Okay, so there actually is an explanation to why everything is happening in such a double way.

Good to finally see who are the representatives of the Light and the Shadow.

It's awesome to get a confirmation of my theory about Bartosz which I had from the moment I saw him in the beginning S2.

I also don't know what kind of a fucked up reality it is to constantly murder someone you used to love and say that it's okay.

Also I am really intrigued by the Unknown because he might be a powerful player in this Time-Space War. If I got what the series was pointing at, he is the beginning, the son of the most messed up love story I have ever watched.

I wonder what happens with Martha inside the Particle...

She must give birth to their son, so I assume she is going to be okay. Or at least some version of her. I don't know... It's really confusing.

But I like every second of it.

Me after Dark S3E5:

"It's a story of a man who found his brother and his son, both still kids, but 33 years after they went missing, yet failed to save them." I've been discussing this for several minutes now and we are not sure whom you mean. Explain please!

Yeah, that sentence might appear a bit misleading and unnecessary complicated, but it's about Ulrich Nielsen:)

He found his brother's body in 2019, 33 years after Mads went missing. His son Mikkel disappeared in 2019. In a search for him, Ulrich traveled from 2019 back to 1953, and stuck there for 33,5 years and finally found Mikkel in 1987.

Unfortunately, their reunion didn't last long and he couldn't bring Mikkel home to Katarina, thus not "saving him".

Poor guy.

Dark S3E3

Oh, it's the web of manipulation, no one can be trusted and they are guiding each other and themselves to the ending and the beginning of what they want.
