Notes: I may have forgotten to add some characters, because for most of the shows it has been some time since I last watched them. Please let me know if you want me to add a character or even show:)

[yellow-dejavu]

Do you miss him? I think I miss a notion of him. - Jonas and Hannah (1x02)

In all the worlds, Peter finds his way to Benni because he was always meant to be with her. I think something like that also applies to Hannah, but even more chaotic. Her love interests were a Nielsen and/or a policeman, so it might seem like Hannah was somehow looking for Ulrich. Since i watched the last episode, I don't think so.

All the similarities and differences in Hannah's romances are interesting to me. I think the ending was really fitting for her character, and now I have a different interpretation of her relationships.

Don't you think it'd be good if you got out? Won't you at least try? For me. - Hannah to Michael (2x06)

Michael Kahnwald: He was a really kind person. Hannah thought he was cool when they met. He was really nice to Hannah, and she was nice to him when others weren't. Even in his worst moments, Hannah was there for Michael. She didn't know who he really was, but she knew how he was before. Hannah just wanted to see her husband get better. Hannah loved Michael.

He loved Hannah.

She started a family with him in Adam's World.

Michael keeps secrets from her.

He is the father of her child (Jonas) and he loved their child so much. Michael would even give his life for Jonas.

They are not just romantic partners. He is also her descendant (great-great-great-grandson).

Mikkel is a Nielsen.

I tried to remember if you ever said "I love you" to me. - Hannah to Ulrich (2x07)

Ulrich Nielsen: He wasn't very nice most of the time, but he really tried his best. Ulrich and Hannah were friends since they were young. Hannah was obsessed with him. Ulrich had an affair with Hannah that didn't end well for them. Their relationship seems like it was never meant to be in any world. Ulrich always loved Katharina.

He didn't love Hannah.

She tried to start a family with him in Eva's World.

Ulrich keeps her as a secret and keeps secrets from her.

He loves his kids (Magnus, Martha and Mikkel).

Ulrich is a policeman.

They are not just romantic partners. He is also her descendant (great-great-grandson).

Ulrich is a Nielsen.

I love you. - Egon to Hannah (3x04)

Egon Tiedemann: He was a good man, and he was really nice to Hannah when they met. They had an affair. He told her he loved her, but Egon was holding on to a broken marriage. More than Doris leaving him, I think Egon was more affected by ruining the opportunity to be with someone who really wanted to be with him. But things probably worked out better for Hannah and Egon in Eva's World, Egon being a traveler was probably more able to think outside of the box.

He loved Hannah

She started a whole cursed family tree with him in Adam's and Eva's Worlds.

Egon keeps her as a secret.

He is the father of her child (Silja) and he loves his child (Claudia). He didn't know Silja in Adam's World, but I think he did in Eva's World.

Egon is a policeman.

They are just romantic partners.

Egon is not a Nielsen, but Egon and Hannah are technically the origin of the Nielsen family. Actually, she used the name Katharina Nielsen when they met in Adam's world and she is Hannah Nielsen in Eva's world, so Hannah is the Nielsen.

Egon's existence is not tied to the knot.

As a traveler, Egon's mission was to create his past to preserve the family tree. In order for his younger self to fall in love with her and have a child with her, he had to save Hannah from the apocalypse. I find it interesting that Hannah & Egon is the one Hannah relationship that's always necessary in Adam and Eva's World. I think Egon is the closest to Hannah's husband in Origin World.

Actually, no one here understood why she married him. She's very pretty. She could've had any man she wanted. - Wöller to Clausen (2X04)

Hannah is with Wöller in the Origin World.

Torben Wöller is funny and kind. He is a good man who loves Hannah. They are just romantic partners. He also happens to be a policeman in all the versions we have seen of him at his job. His profession didn't change from Adam's World to Eva's World, so I think he's still a member of the Winden police in Origin World. Wöller is not a Nielsen, so his existence is not tied to the knot. The series ends with Hannah starting a family with Wöller.

I just think that maybe all along Hannah was just trying to have what she was always supposed to have.

And I wish I could say that Wöller is different from Hannah's other love interests when it comes to secrets, but I can't. Not really a secret to her, but we don't know something very important. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS EYE???

My Dark theory: Hannah and Egon are going to be Torben and Benni’s parents.

My evidence? Not a damn thing, I’m just spitballing here.

[solve-me-a-crime]

Jonas to Martha: We are a perfect match...

Peter and Benni: Hold my beer!

[pickingwinkles]

I don’t know how to yell about Dark without spoilers so, my feelings just needed to say:

Katharina, Peter NO! Touch Elizabeth mf and you die. Ffs middle-age Jonas! Claudia hell YES it was going to be you. Benni!!! Wöller you need to talk faster, now we’ll never know.

Thank you. That is all.

[scottsumrners]

@bombshellssz replied to your post: PETER AND BENNI????? PSYCHO HANNAH AND FUCKING....

do you think she’s a psycho in the og universe tho? i’d like to think the source of her awlfulness was her obsession with *lrich

i mean, i guess it could've been. i mean, wöller is definitely an improvement over ulr*ch

Dark Season 3 Ending Explained

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This whole article contains spoilers for Dark Season 3

The third season of Netflix hit Dark has brought the massively complicated show to an end. The finale was as mind boggling and epic as expected. But, in true Dark fashion, fans are still calling out for questions about the ending to be answered. We’ve given it our best shot.. 

Even then, a show like this will never be easy to understand, the complications and paradoxes of the show are exactly what makes it. Just as Jonas (Louis Hofmann) says, “it’s a bit complicated to explain”. Like the fact Charlotte may be her own Grandma… Yep, we’re as confused as you are. 

We’re reminded time and time again that everything and everyone is connected in Dark, and the final few episodes of this season gives this a whole new meaning. 

The Origin World 

In between the initial two worlds we know in Dark, Claudia (Julika Jenkins) – being somebody disconnected from the Nielsen family tree – discovered there was a third world, which she named the Origin World – because, you might have guessed it, it’s the ‘real world’. 

You may have heard the word ‘Origin’ mentioned throughout the series. In order for the knot and loop to stop, of course, the Origin needed to be destroyed. 

The Origin came as the product of a car crash, where the death of HG Tannhaus’ (Christian Steyer) son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter prompted Tannhaus to think up and use a time machine in the first place, in an attempt to save them. 

Jonas realises he has been stuck in a cycle that will continue for all time. In this cycle each character is doomed to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. Jonas begins to learn that he has kept trying to bring about the apocalypse. 

After finding out from Claudia that there was a moment where time could be stopped and the Origin World visited, Jonas and Martha (Lisa Vicari) time travel through Winden back to June 1986. They manage to prevent the car crash deaths and Tannhaus creating the time machine, but in doing so, wipe their own worlds away. 

It’s almost as though being in this place acts as a black hole void where Jonas and Martha are sent to in a non-existent place. 

In the Origin World the Nielsen family tree was never created, and the events of the last two seasons never really happened. 

Does that mean Martha and Jonas die? 

Technically, no. They are completely wiped from any form of existence. So they don’t need to die, because they stop existing altogether. They wonder what seeing childhood versions of themselves could mean and hold hands as they disappear from existence while ‘What a Wonderful World’ plays in the background – sob. 

Because they managed to destroy the knot, it wasn’t just Jonas and Martha that were wiped out – every character in Adam and Eva’s world also now cease to exist. 

The Final Scene 

The final scene sees a group of characters enjoying a dinner party in modern day Winden. Peter Doppler (Stephan Kampwirth), Hannah Kahnwald (Maja Schöne), Katharina Nielson (Jördis Triebel), and Benni (Anton Rubtsov) and Torben Wöller (Leopold Hornung) were all present. They are the only ones who survived with everybody in Adam and Eva’s world ceasing to exist. This is because these characters were not born as a product of time travel. 

Regina (Deborah Kaufmann) hasn’t died of cancer, Hannah is pregnant (although her partner Mikkel doesn’t exist anymore), and Peter seems to be happy with his transgender partner and not Charlotte – because now she doesn’t exist. 

A Glitch 

There is a strange sense that even though the other two worlds no longer exist, they have definitely had a profound impact on the lives that remain. Hannah talks about having ‘deja vu or something’, and wears a coat identical to Jonas’ yellow one. Hannah is asked what name she likes for her unborn baby, and in an emotional final line, she says “I think Jonas is a beautiful name.” 

Jonas and Martha previously referred to the feeling of déjà vu as a ‘glitch in the Matrix’ – implying that even though these characters have been wiped from existence, some things are not predicted by people, but are determined by the system, or a higher power. Despite Jonas and Martha’s attempts to make sure that events don’t repeat themselves, some things are destined. 

Even when Jonas is gone, some memory of him still lingers as the lights flicker. 

Questions left unanswered 

What happened to Wöller’s eye?

It may seem insignificant, but in the final scene, he still has his scars and even begins to try and explain how they got there. 

Is the knot broken for sure?

It’s clear that Adam and Eva’s worlds have vanished, but what is not so clear is why Hannah still has flash-backs. It could just be a way for the show’s writers to keep the fans wanting more, but it could also signify a wrinkle in time, and a glitch in the system.

Making a list of questions we still don’t have answers to:

Who is Helge’s real father, if not Bernd?

Who was Agnes’s husband, Tronte’s father? Is it connected to why she stopped following Adam? And why would she return to Adam later?

Why does Doris leave Egon? Is it to be with Agnes? Or is it because Egon cheated on her with Hannah?

On that note, are Hannah and Egon going to fuck, and if so, is one of the other characters their child?

Who is Regina’s father? Is it Tronte?

Who is Peter’s mother?

Who is Aleksander/Boris?

Who are Torben and Benni Wöller’s parents?

Who is Silja? Is she related to another character?

How and when does Jonas become Adam? Is Jonas truly Adam, or is this a trick?

Where/when did future Jonas take Magnus, Franziska, and Bartosz?

How did Magnus (and possibly Franziska) wind up working for Adam in 1921?

Did Charlotte and Elisabeth wind up in different times after touching through the wormhole, the way Jonas and Helge did at the end of season 1?

Do Peter and Regina simply die of old age in the bunker after the apocalypse, or is there a more mysterious reason they don’t appear in the 2052 time period?

Where/when did the alternate Martha come from? Are we getting into a multiverse now?

Why does no one ever leave Winden? Is it just coincidence, or is there a supernatural/destiny reason for it?

Can the timeline cycle ever truly be broken, or is it locked in forever, like fate?

And most importantly, what happened to Torben’s eye?

[scottsumrners]

PETER AND BENNI????? PSYCHO HANNAH AND FUCKING. WÖLLER?????????????

[ploppythespaceship]

I’m seeing theories in the tags that Hannah and Egon are going to turn out to be the parents of another character we already know, and while that makes sense, we gotta remember that Claudia, Helge, Ines, Jana, and Tronte have all already been born by the time Hannah arrives. The only characters that could work are ones we haven’t seen yet at that point in the 50s.

I think their kid is either going to be Aleksander, or it’s going to be Wöller and Benni. Either way, we need more time travel to cover the age difference -- any kid of theirs born in the 50s would be thirty something in the 80s and sixty something in present day.
