 What's up guys and welcome to one take today. We're talking about dark season 3 episode 1 There will be spoilers of course through episode 1, but we haven't watched beyond that So no spoilers for any more of season 3 beyond that. I'm gill talking to my tech guys slice brother alone Yo, and quick reminder to hit the subscribe button if you want to keep up with our coverage of dark So normally we would do this sort of thing live But because I'm assuming a lot of people have probably already binged all of season 3 We're gonna do this pre-recorded But we'll definitely do a live stream after we finish the season to talk about our thoughts for the season as a whole First overall thoughts on the episode. I'm always worried when a show I love is coming back for a new season Especially like this when you're talking about a final season But I thought this lived up generally to the quality of dark seasons 1 and 2 I thought they did a great job of recapturing the sense of discovery Where in the first couple of seasons every time a character for the first time Stumbles into their time travel journey. You get that excitement. You get that interesting Discovery of going back in time and figuring out. Oh, who does this person grow up to be? Oh, that's a young Claudia It's all making sense here They've done the time travel thing so many times But they've introduced this new element of traveling to another world and for me that brought back the sense of discovery Also need to say that Jonas played by Lewis Hoffman great actor so good at just looking confused Overwhelmed and sad all at once something he has to do a lot of in this episode So overall thought this was a solid episode Can't wait to see where it goes in the final seven along any overall thoughts before we jump into the episode seen by scene Overall, I agree with you. I think What's kind of funny is just constantly watching to see What's the what's the next? Difference we're going to see you from the other world that we've seen in season one and two Catch me know where his glasses in this world If you like I'm sure you've noticed most people just their hair is a little bit different. Usually a little bit longer Yeah, barge OS has longer hair And Anyway, yes, let's jump right into the episode. It starts out with this person who in the credits is listed just as Unknown so that's the guy with the scarred lip We see him at a three the trio where it's him as a child Middle-aged man and an older man burning down what looks like Adam's Sigmundus lair and I'm assuming this takes place in our world Especially because it looks exactly like Adam's lair from the previous season and we see photos of Jonas who doesn't appear to exist in The other world Then we cut to Jonas and Marta at the end of season two where Jonas sees his dead Marta Lying on the floor and then this other Marta shows up She transports him to the cave in the other world and then she tells him today's the day it all began the day We first met Jonas asks what's that supposed to mean and she says your world and my world form a knot that is inextricably Intertwined and then it gives him basically no information no instruction no other information Before she disappears we find out that today is November 4th 2019 that is the night that in our world that Mikael disappeared and went back in time So in this other world we learn a little bit about it throughout the episode It's not yet clear to me if this is back to the future to style where this other world was created by someone intervening in the past for example that somebody go back in time successfully stop Mikael from Disappearing and that branched off to create this other reality and you would think well if they stopped Mikael from Disappearing that would only change things from that point forward But Mikael's Disappearance set off a whole domino effective time travel So it would have a ripple effect that alters the world's past present and future So I don't know if that's what we're seeing here Or if this is a case of there is a multiverse this other world already existed this world without Jonas and Somehow these two separate worlds have now become intertwined I don't know if we'll get a solid answer to that my guess is it's going to be complicated That one way or another these two worlds created each other Schrodinger's cat. There's no answer exactly to which one it came first, but we'll see so Marta wakes up Jonas style and right off the bat. We start to see some of those differences Marta Catarina her family are in the house that in our world was Jonas's house, but here it is the Nielsen's home and Mikael's older so at first we assumed Oh, how are they gonna explain that one because the actor is obviously aged and then we find out that that is part of the show They make a comment later that indicates Mikael's older than we're used to we see that Magnus and Francisco are together already in the original version of this world that the two of them entered a relationship After Mikael disappeared so here they're already together and then caught Catarina mentions that tomorrow The kids have to go to their dad's place We see that Ulrich has been cut out of the family photo So here Ulrich is not cheating on his wife, but he actually left her for Hannah. Was that a good idea? I don't know probably Ulrich seems to be somewhat of a self-destructive person I think so we see that Hannah is with Ulrich and Hannah is pregnant So in our world Hannah gave birth to Mikael gave birth with Mikael in this world She's pregnant with Ulrich, so she has now become pregnant with the grandfather of the I don't know this whole confusing thing But now you said she's pregnant with Ulrich. Well her and Ulrich together are now pregnant So she is pregnant with the father of the person. She was originally pregnant. Well, you never know in this show Yeah, exactly. I'm sure so that's a question. Who is she who is the child that is currently in her womb in this world? You know, it's got to be somebody Unexpected could it be a different version of Jonas? I'm sure it's someone interesting though, but Hannah says I love you and Ulrich says you're beautiful exactly So he still is not reciprocating the emotional part of their relationship later she finds a hair on Ulrich's sweatshirt and Begins to suspect in a fair and in this world that Ulrich is having an affair with Charlotte Hannah goes to school to see Katarina and Basically tells her that she's gonna stay out of the way. She realizes that Ulrich's family his children are part of his life She's not gonna interfere and then she asks Katarina Ulrich said he was gonna drop something off has he dropped it off Katarina says he hasn't so Ulrich telling Hannah he needs to drop something off is probably just part of the lies He's spinning to cover up for his affair. I'm assuming we see Marta Riding her bike Jonas style. She sees the nuclear plant and she meets up Oh, and she also sees the missing persons poster for Eric Obendorf So that's one of the similarities between these worlds in this world. Also, Eric is missing Marta meets up with Magnus and Bartosz at school We see that Marta is dating a guy named Killian and that's Eric's brother So Eric has a brother here and part of me hates him right off the bat because it feels like he's taking Marta away from Jonas Even though Jonas appears to not exist in this world I also what do you think of Bartosz's new look here the longer hair? Yeah, well, it feels like he's dressing even more rich than he did in the light the Scarf scarf wearing a scarf indoors very classy look Yeah, in the first two seasons. He always wore that the popped up collar or polo polo. That's right So he's taken it his preppy look to the next level. Yeah, I think it works for me. Looks like pretty classy So at the Doppler home We see Helga who in our world our world had the damaged ear the side of his face Here his eye is missing his in that half of his face is damaged But he still has the similar ramblings. It will happen again tick tock Peter is there and Charlotte shows up She's so good at always looking super preoccupied Peter asks her how to go with the doctors. She says it was just a routine checkup. I'm assuming again That was a lie. She was with Ulrich. I'm assuming this is all part of their shenanigans Then let's check in on Jonas and look follow his journey throughout this episode So Jonas goes to what should be his home But like we said is now actually the Nielsen's home where Katarina lives with her children at Magnus Marta and Mikkel He sees the photo of Katarina with her family on the wall So he's starting to learn that things are a little bit different here and then he goes up to what should be Michael Conwald studio where he hung himself and Sees a picture of Marta with Bartosz and Achillian Then doesn't really know what to do So he just walks into Marta's class while it's going interrupts and joins the class Bartosz is teaching the class about black holes wormholes This is something that in the first episode of the series. We saw Francisco doing so another one of those little Differences where characters are taking on different roles. By the way, this is something that I wish we talked about in school I definitely I paid a lot of attention in class It always took a lot of effort though if we were talking about black holes and wormholes and all that Definitely would have paid more attention Jonas shows up to the class. He seems to have let go of any Worries about shame or embarrassment like we said, so he just walks in Sits down really nice touch there by the way where he's sitting in class looking at Marta and then looks down at the Blood on his hands. He still has his Marta's blood on his hands He tries to talk to Marta after class She doesn't know him. So again, I need to say Lisa Vickari who plays Marta great acting She needs to switch from last season where she's in love with this character to now being a little bit scared of him Not knowing who he is. He really doesn't know what to say But from that conversation learns that this Marta has no idea who he is then a freaking Killian shows up and separates the two of them breaks up the conversation Jonas talks to the teacher and finds out today is November 4th 2019 the night Mikael disappeared then he bumps into Hannah his mother freaks out a little bit and Finds out that she has no idea who he is She asks if she can help this confused child. He doesn't know what to say He kind of just shakes his head then Jonas goes to the cemetery. He sees Regina Tiedemann's grave and Then Peter shows up. He seems to be a pastor or a priest and asks Jonas if he needs help Jonas says he's looking for Michael Conwald. Peter says we've got nobody named Michael Conwald here All we have is a Daniel called Conwald someone who died in 1964 At the police station which by the way I love that the subtitles feel the need when it says please a To tell me that that means police and I want to tell the subtitles that by season three I've worked out that police a in German it means police. They're discussing Eric Obendorf's disappearance We get a close-up shot of Torben Woller's face and he's got his eye back. Yeah But it turns out he's missing an arm now I find it kind of odd and kind of funny the way they play with Disabilities in this show where it's Elizabeth was deaf in our world, but in this world, Francisca is deaf Helga instead of a damaged ear is a damaged eye Peter instead of a missing eye has a missing arm It's kind of interesting I wonder if it's the sort of thing that might rub people the wrong the wrong way Because logistically I just can't see of a reason why what changed in this world genetically So the two children end up exactly the same as in our world except they swapped Which one of them is deaf for example, but anyway, I just feel bad for Torben It seems like he cannot escape this fate to just be physically scarred in some way And it also seems like whatever happened to make him lose his eye and in this world his arm Seems to be an embarrassing incident because if you remember last season When clausen asked how he lost his eye He says okay, but you can't tell anyone and then of course they had to swerve to avoid claudia And we never learned what caused it. So I just feel bad for Torben Anyway, charlotte is sent to go check in on teedaman at the nuclear plant And when they said she needs to speak to teedaman It was funny that they didn't go out they went out of their way not to mention It was alexander teedaman So my mind started racing which teedaman is she going to see is it claudia for example? But no it is alexander teedaman, but with facial hair And as soon as he showed up I commented how Everybody in this world looks miserable And here we find out quickly alexander has good reason to be sad His wife regina has already passed due to cancer And it throughout the episode I noticed that things are happening earlier in this world than it did in our world For example, me cal must have been born earlier because he's older Magnus and francisca are in a relationship already in our world that took longer regina's cancer seems to have hit sooner So I wonder if there's something to that if it'll be addressed For one reason or another major events in this world are happening sooner than in our world Or if it's just coincidental the worlds are very similar in many ways in many similar events have occurred But just coincidentally they happen to have occurred earlier in this world Anyway charlotte requests the employee schedule the shift schedule at the nuclear plant from alexander teedaman Because they want to cross reference that with all the tire tracks they found on the forest road of Why forest why not forest road fame if you remember egon investigating that way back when the forest road is where Eric open dwarf was last seen so they want to know who is driving there So alexander says I'll get her the schedule and she asks if it's possible Eric could have gotten onto plant grounds through the cave alexander says impossible It's all sealed off down there just like it is in our world and then he asks Well charlotte asks alexander how he's holding up and he's getting by she's asking of course about his wife regina passing away Ulrich and charlotte meet up in the evidence room Just like Ulrich did with hannah in our world And then torbin butts in and sees the two of them clearly in an intimate situation And I love what happens here torbin. It tells Ulrich He checked the tire treads. They found 42 cars and two trucks There are more than 21,000 vehicles registered in winden and charl and Ulrich just asks What do you want me to do with that information? And then charlotte says that she got the shift schedules from the power plant so she can run a comparison between them alexander teedaman then visits jergan or jergan. That's orrick open eric obendor's father Pays him off and he's asking jergan to basically move the barrels temporarily From underground to somewhere else to hide them because the cops are starting to sniff around This happened in the previous season as well in our world except in our world alexander was working with torbin And torbin was working with his sibling the prostitute by the truck stop and they moved the barrels there Jonas goes to see martes play rehearsal where again She gives that monologue about how knots cannot be undone But they can be severed and then right in front of Jonas. She kisses eric's older brother kilian How could she Jonas tries to talk of talk to her afterwards and she's getting sick of this This is the second time that he's approached her the stranger with a next scar has approached her. She tells him to f off After he asks about michael conwald. He asks about um, and she and he learns that Marta's father is uh, oric and um, or marta hannah is married to oric It's hard to keep it straight between the two different worlds and all the different timelines So Jonas is starting to learn a little bit about this other world Magnus goes to the doppler family bunker with francisca. They start to get intimate while they were down there I really expected the portal to open up open up This is where the portal opened in front of peter doppler and mad's body popped out That doesn't happen yet But this is where we learn that francisca is deaf in this world Unlike her sister elizabeth who in the next scene we learn she can speak And she speaks to her grandfather helga who is continuing to ramble about how it will happen again The beginning is the end tick tock Then flashback to september 21st 1987 And unlike most of the rest of the episode. I believe this scene takes place in our world Because the previous time we saw the trio they were burning down the sick mundus hq So we're seeing them. I'm assuming in our world. They go to the doppler family mansion So that's helga's father burned doppler the power plant director before claudia So the child version of the Lipsguard man shows up super creepy kid just keeps staring at burned says he wants the master key to the nuclear power plant Burned goes to call the cops and by the way if you paid attention to the numbers he hit on the phone In germany, it's not 911 to 110 Just a fun fact in case you're ever in germany And a creepy child that tries to kill you the kid also grabs an apple in this scene Which a lot of adam and eve imagery So I think that's part of the the apple there and then of course who else is always eating apples Noah and he never seems to finish them He always eats them someone shows up and he throws away whatever's left of it So the kid shows up the guy burned doppler goes to call the cops Until the older version of this kid and the older older version of the kid walks in Middle-aged version chokes out burned doppler and kills him Marta goes to the woods just like she did in our world the night of michelle's disappearance But tonight her and her friends are not looking for drugs They're looking for clues about killing's brother eric's Disappearance and just like in our world. She gets there before everybody else and our Jonas Bold by the way for the third time today approaches Marta He tells her we know each other in another time She doesn't know what the heck he's talking about and then he tells her you've seen this all you've seen this all before You have a feeling of deja vu a glitch in the matrix And it seems to work on her. She does have some sense of recognition She starts to get a little bit emotional and then again Killian shows up with magnus francesca and bar tosh. They break the whole thing up Jonas still thinks that michelle was going to show up this night And he thought maybe i'm here to stop michelle from going back in time But this is where magna says michelle's old enough to look after himself. So again michelle's older He's not here. So Jonas doesn't know what to do He runs off and leaves his friends who go to the cave And just like in our world loud noise flickering lights they run away marta trips gets left behind And just like in our world where Jonas heard somebody say his name somebody whisper And then he sees an image of his father covered in some kind of a dark substance Here same thing happens to marta. She's lost in the woods alone Someone says her name and then she sees an older woman covered in some kind of a dark substance I don't know who she's seeing here. It was hard to tell It's also weird because when Jonas saw his father covered in I don't know if it's blood or something else And then he sees his father again Later when he's older Jonas in the cave at the end of season one sees his father there with him I assumed it's a hallucination But it's kind of weird if marta is also having some kind of a hallucination But maybe it's just a side effect of the time travel radiation or something But we'll see if it gets dressed and then marta runs and Killian shows up takes her hand and rescues her Turner friends run to the bunker while they're down there This is where the portal opens up a body a child's body falls out And they see that it is mads nielsen in our world Peter found the body then called tront and older claudia showed up to guide them So i'm wondering if the same thing will happen here Will older claudia or somebody else show up to guide them through what happens next Jonas goes back to his home I'm not knowing where else to go and is then approached by an older woman who is older marta And she finally gives them some answers. You're in a world where michelle didn't travel back in time Meaning you don't exist But the world also ends here because of you which I thought was pretty harsh But then she adds and me so somehow the two of them triggered the apocalypse And then we go way back in time to september 21st 1888 a time period we haven't seen yet and i'm again assuming this is now our world Because we see an older jonas here and he doesn't appear to exist in this other world So younger time traveling marta that we saw at the beginning of the episode visits townhouse Hg townhouse the guy who owns the clockmaker shop and built the time machine Inside she finds a middle-aged jonas and he seems to be experimenting on what I assume is going to eventually be a time machine He's very happy very shocked to see that marta is alive until she tells him I'm not your marta He doesn't really understand what any of that means and then she says i'm here to help you find the origin The one thing that's the beginning of everything in your world and in mine So this older jonas has the next scar So we assume he is our jonas and this is our world We don't really know a lot about what jonas has been up to all this time We see him as a younger person then we see him 33 years later as a middle-aged jonas And then we see him as an older man as adam So i'm assuming we're getting a little bit of a glimpse Into what jonas has been up to all this time and it seems like for some reason has been in the late 1800s building Maybe a time machine or maybe he's building something that allows for travel between worlds Who knows I guess a lot of people know if they've already binged the full season I have a theory here So he's in a place that says townhouse on the front Does older jonas take on the name townhouse and eventually give birth to hg townhouse Maybe now I don't really know the implications of that for the overall family tree because charlotte says that hg townhouses are grandfather, but not her biological grandfather So it's not like if jonas is hg down houses father That means he's charlotte's grandfather or anything like that or great grandfather So that is where we reach the end of the episode Like I said, I thought this was a really solid premiere for season three I'm very happy to see that the show has been able to maintain this quality going into its final season bummed that the show is ending But glad that it's going to end It looks like it's going to end strong and on its own terms Along any other thoughts on the episode anything I didn't touch on that you wanted to bring up Before we wrap up Overall, I enjoyed the episode. I am happy with the quality I do think it's weird that jonas still reacts To all this weird stuff as if he hasn't already seen a lot of weird stuff Right It's just kind of funny He just walks right up to marta and is confused over and over and over right He should basically no longer ever be dumbstruck especially because The you know marta from the other world already explain the situation to him You're in you're you're in another world now And it's you know, he understands time travel He should be able to put the pieces together pretty quickly Yeah, this version of the other world marta is not the version that he saw right anyways Well, you have to understand that most people aren't as emotionally put together as you are So for jonas Seeing his mother not have any idea who he is It's going to baffle him and probably you know emotionally affect him So he might stand there with a dumb look on his face For example Fair enough So with that, I think we can wrap up I'm not a hundred percent sure how we're going to cover the rest of the season At a minimum it will for sure do a live stream once we finish the season And go through the whole thing talk about our theories We'll probably probably do some other videos breaking down theories about how it all ended But maybe if there's a particular episode that's particularly crazy We'll talk about that one at a minimum You'll get the full season capper and maybe you'll get something in between as well But with that, I'll just say if you enjoyed this video Hit the like button hit the subscribe button and of course the bell icon So you get notified the next time we go live or the next time we do a video Thanks for watching and see you on the next one take
