Good times ahead with the addition of this guy’s influence to that barrel of laughs Friedrich Nietzsche. If you thought the apocalypse might signal a bright new beginning for Dark, you should know that Schopenhauer’s “work has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism.” ( X) When all of the variables are considered together, our actions in a given situation can be considered predetermined and unavoidable. We are ultimately the sum total of our inborn character, experiences, environment and Will. We open with one of Arthur Schopenhauer’s most famous thoughts on Will: there is no free Will because we are unable to control our deepest desires and will always by led by them, no matter how noble our ideals.

Remember that time there was an apocalypse in Winden… It’s worth rereading my recap and theories from season 2 episode 8. I talked about classical mythology and Dark here. Discussion of Gordian knots and religious knots, which are tied and untied ritually, here. There is a Complete List of Characters as of the end of season 2 here. S2Ep7 has a sort of index of topics I’d discussed up until that point, if you need to review basic ideas like the eternal recurrence or Ariadne’s Thread. Here is my Dark tag, where you can find all previous recaps and theories, some of which turned out to be startlingly correct, some of which are now trash. Please bear with me as I try to keep all of this straight in my head and coalesce it down into something readable for you without also giving away too much information, too soon.

It doesn’t ever hurt to remind me you’re waiting for something, though, because that gives me an idea of how to prioritize what I write. I don’t get the episodes early, so I’m watching along with all of you.

I’m writing as fast as I can, but between my disabilities and the amount of research I put into these recaps (especially for a show like Dark), it just takes time. I’m thrilled that so many people look forward to reading my middle of the night ramblings. I want to thank everyone who sent nice comments and encouragement, asking for season 3 recaps. The end is the beginning is the end of the line. Season 3 is both repetitive and deceptively complex, while also rewriting and clarifying what happened in the previous two seasons. What we don’t know is an ocean.” – Bernd Doppler, November 5, 1986, S1Ep3 What is the endgame? Lol, I’m not going to give away spoilers! As we enter the post apocalypse prime world and the Alt Martha world and try to figure out whatever Claudia’s up to this time around, let’s keep the endgame in mind.
