I can understand, that with the second part of seasons 3, viewers are now confronted to a new kind of complexity quality that might lead to confusion. With the introduction of a possible path separation, it looks like superdeterminism isn't the major Dark rule any longer and there might be space left for free decisions with uncertain development. But please watch carefully! This episode and the following one(s) try to explain, why this is a possible fallacy likely. Actually at least until this episode, superdeterminism is saved due to the fact, that the event cycle is not a simple circle any longer, it's at least a (multi-) loop. There is no deus ex machina or writer's magic daemon here. All events within the presented worlds also depend on the events of the opposite one(s). That's a genius step of the authors, never seen before on television and in SciFi genre before I'd say. This is brilliant consistency, brought to a new level of narration.

But, without having seen the finale yet, I think, the aspect of free will and decision will play a major role yet, but certainly in a way, that is again consistent to what we've seen so far.

Here people are saying they are getting complex and just fill gaps with no sense. Please watch the series carefully then critise it. They gave us the two realities since season one. Just pay attention to small details and you will know that. They wrote the whole plot then give it to us not writing sperately

When the end was beginning there were people - "Army of Eve" . Eve told them some things they must to do. We know about young Martha , she must to born the origin. older Martha received for stranger Jonas (the letter from Martha) . But there were others too. First we see Klaudia , which was the bridge of world A's Klaudia (beacuse Klaudia was one important reason for Jonas improvement) , there were Bartozsh who was responsible to stopped Martha ( There were two times . one he couldn't stop and one he stopped that's one became Eve) . Also there were Agon and we see that he came to Hannah. It was complex and we don't know why it just happend. but it was important , beacuse Hannah's child must be Silja , who is mother of Agnes and Noah (two of them are really important). And Noah came to Elisabeth , because Charlottes role in here was bigger too. (She was the one who went in Nuclear Power Plant with Aleksander ) . It is important that if Charloote didn't exist Tenhauss will make other time machine like he did in origin world , because Charlotte was the reason why he stop thinking about time machine (the time machine we saw in origin world). And there won't be just 3 worlds , there will be binary tree (A tree whose elements have at most 2 children). So I liked this episode because everything is connected.

For a moment I thought that things had changed when they killed Jonas but with this episode they proved that they didn't break their own rules. The parallel realities thing is simply brilliant when you put all the pieces together.

Good stuff again in this episode. We're definitely gearing towards the climax now so expect plenty of plot twists, intense character drama and shocking moments along the way. Good to see it's coming together...

I love Dark. I think it's one of the best, if not the best, science fiction shows ever made. But I'm starting to wonder if they aren't dragging things out a little bit too much just for the sake of playing mind games with us viewers. The first two seasons of Dark had rules. The rules appear to be gone. If they can kill Jonas and somehow he's still alive, I think the writers aren't playing fair. Science is gone and mumbo jumbo has taken its place. The first two seasons had a certain fatalistic logic. This episode is not horrible, but it's a mess. I'm really getting sick of the three nameless goons. They got the mayor to sign the building permit for the plant at gunpoint. Um, okay. I'm sure that would hold up in a court of law. I'm sure the coal companies wouldn't raise hell. But, today was the first instance of pure idiot plot. The goons just walk into the power plant and mess with the controls, because they have the master key. Yeah, right. No security at nuclear power plants especially 7 years after three mile island. Give me a break. I hope the next two episodes are better.

We have actually seen the middle-aged Bartosz before. He was the guy in the first scene of season 2 who dug the tunnel into the cave in the nineteen twenties together with young Noah. The one Noah killed afterwards with a pickaxe. The Martha that gets the scar (not the one on the cheek) is the one that doesn't save Jonas before the apocalypse. The one that Adam kills at the end is the one that saves Jonas before the apocalypse. The Jonas that travels to alt-world is the one that dies, and the one who stays becomes Adam. The Martha that's led by Magnus and Francesca at the end is potentially about to unknowingly continue the loop and split. It's super trippy because, like Eva said, the cycle repeats itself, regardless of the split. We see the middle aged Adam World Bartosz in the first episode of the second season. The opening scene. In terms of couples I rekon Magnus/Franziska are one of the least toxic couples. Certainly the Eve editions. The Adam world Magnus is a bit of a creep when he sneakily follows Franziska around and then accuses her of whoring herself. After making it past that major relationship speedhump they stick together for the next 40 years. Slightly off topic but it's the winter rain season here so all the rain in DARK seems fitting at the moment. Yes, Hannah miscarries and Egon saves her from the apocalypse. In this world Hannah didn't travel back to 1954 herself because Mikkel and Ulrich didn't get missing and Jonas didn't exist to give her the time machine. But somehow she has to get impregnated by Egon to preserve the family tree. Stranger-Martha is leaving behind items that Adam later gives Noah to hand out: Young Noah gives this letter to Stranger-Jonas in 2020 who carries it to 1888 and then burns it. Adult Noah gives the watch to Elisabeth in 2019. At times Charlotte has it but in the end Elisabeth carries it through the apocalypse.

Well one of the Martha's has the scar that Eva gave her. So that is distinguishing her from her younger counterpart... and from her other counterpart that is not yet completely explained.

I found it rather odd that certain characters are not seen on both sides. Agnes and Silja are not seen in Eve's world and therefore one has to assume that they meet their respective partners "naturally". Just like Egon met Hannah in Adam's world and like young Noah already met Elisabeth without being sent back from after the apocalypse.
