A German Netflix Original Series: Dark Season 3 |OT| Every decision for something, is a decision against something else. (no open spoilers)

The only thing I don't get about this theory is how the parallel works. We know Martha is the daughter of Ulrich and Kat, so she can't therefore be a parallel to Jonas, who is a child out of time. Maybe there will be a justification for it.
A lot of the show is based on Hermeticism which means there has to be an equal but opposite to Jonas, there has to be someone in this alt world who also is born from a parent who is from a different time. I've also thought maybe the show wasn't suggesting Jonas was never born, but maybe that he is killed at one point and yet that does not solve the knot, that a world without Jonas doesn't make it better.
Claudia must have gotten there somehow and gotten alt Martha to save Jonas because why would alt Martha want to save Jonas if he was never born and she couldn't form a bond with him? Why should she care about someone she doesn't know? Unless they fall in love over the course of S3 because the future there influenced it.
Or perhaps following the Hermeticism since everything is mental, these alt worlds all share the same vibes. So all Marthas have a feeling for all Jonas' (Jonasi? Jonases? ha) and vice versa, the thread that cleaves everything together, the invisible bond that remains.

Typically I believe they post at midnight pacific time, 3am eastern.
Well I'm the opposite. I plan on stopping playing a lot of hours of TLOU 2 this weekend until I've watched 4 episodes tops each day. Maybe we watch it slower but honestly I doubt it. 4 on saturday, 4 on sunday, sounds like a good deal.
I generally try to avoid official recaps because they always end up pointing you in a direction for what's going to be coming up in their choices of what to highlight so thanks for this!
Just binge watched seasons 1 & 2 and can't wait for season 3.
Has anyone noticed that there seems to be no retail activity at all in Winden?
There don't seem to be any stores whatsoever in the town, lol. They are never seen getting groceries or buying clothes in a store that I can remember. There are no scenes in restaurants. No movie theaters or other entertainment venues, etc.
About the only places where Windenites would conceivably need money was at Tannhaus (the clockmaker) or at the hotel. I guess there is what looks like a gas station in the background near the prostitute's trailer.
Just thought it was strange. Maybe just a cost issue with having to have different sets for these kinds of establishments in the different timelines.

Lol that is fascinating.....the only instance I can remember of someone even eating food is young Noah with his apple....and I guess the "toast Hawaii" although we don't ever see it.
Ahh I can't wait to finally watch this! I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all ends. Going to spend my weekend splitting time between this and TLoU2!
That's really not that unusual, small towns in Germany usually don't really have all that many stores and ppl mostly just drive to the next bigger city for shopping. The town i live in which is at least as big as Winden i assume had 1 Aldi, 2 bars, a restaurant and a bakery that's it. The bars and the restaurant are now closed permanently because of corona so only the bakery and the Aldi is left.

It's worth watching, but don't expect it to be the best show ever or you may be disappointed

what the fuck
I remember thinking something along the lines of "Hmm, they went a little half-assed with the old person makeup there."
Exactly, I was the same each time I watched season 2. I mentioned it above, the casting is sublime not only in appearance and characterization but also on acting between same characters actors.
It's very educational. At some point in S2 I realised most scences contained one if the holy trinity of German words.
Anfang
Zukunft
Scheisse
If you're suicidal make a drinking game based on them.
Shame S3 is das ende, I think I'd have been fluent if it was a bit longer.

Don't forget the authentic German greeting "Ultimate Fist Bump"
The whole town doesn't make sense to be honest. It's referred to as a small town throughout the series yet feels/looks like a village. It has its own police department including a criminal police unit, forensic medicine and a jail for people with mental illnesses. That's extremely unlikely at best.
I've finished my rewatch of the first two seasons and it's easily my favorite tv-series.
The characters, story, sound and cinematography are all fantastic. During my rewatch I wondered if the creators ever talked about Hannibal, because I can see similarities in the way the shows are shot.
And the casting is still as insane as it ever was. You instantly recognise the characters, whatever age they are.
Come on, season three. Become the best time travel thing, ever.

The casting crew was extremely on point when choosing certain present/future characters.
Alexander, Magnus, Ulrich actors all look very similar.
I have My Body is a Cage stuck in my head now. I also didn't know it was originally by Arcade Fire. Peter Gabriel does a good job and it fits the show so well, but I think the Arcade Fire version has a little something something.
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
but my mind holds the key

I don't think Netflix does rolling releases. Release o'clock is always midnight Pacific Time.
Subbed because I Fucking need recap vids. Love the show, but it is damn complicated. A year off did me zero favours.

Dark Season 3 Review: The End is the Beginning
Dark returns for its third and final season with a weight on its shoulders, and while some story beats don't land with the impact the first two seasons provided, the show still finds a satisfying, emotional conclusion.
telltaletv.com
This is blowing my mind.

I thought S2 was a significant stepdown and that ending fills me with fear but still excited for this to come conclusion.
Toast Hawaii does make an appearance! Just as Hannah is watching Mikkel through the window when older Jonas takes her back to 1987. Sliced pineapple on toast on viewing, and in any instance, seems like a legit thing in parts of Germany:

Watching S2 again before diving into the finale tomorrow is such a fucking thrill. I love love love this show!
Edit: 80's Claudia hard-pressing the touchscreen workstation with bewilderment on her face in the library S2E4... legit how I witnessed it working in Apple Stores when the iPad made its debut 😂😂

Me too. I looked up casting and was blown away. I thought they just gave him a wig and some prosthetics lol.
Yeah me too. I noticed it when I was watching the recap. I was like: Huh....is that actually a different dude?
Thank you! I wonder if any episodes will run longer than their normal length.
Hey! Writer of the review mentioned above. Five of the eight episodes are over 60 minutes (the finale being the lengthiest of the bunch).
I loved this montage so much (especially the song). But I liked that S2 didn't just ape the same moment. What replaced this scene were the various moments, when the ambient music would swell, as it closed in on one character's face, before jumping to that same character in a different era.
My favorite moment of this by far was the reveal that future Ellie was actually Ellie.
