I binged the whole series over the weekend. Stranger Things 3 was much better than I expected but this really shone. I spent yesterday thinking about the ending of season 2 and I can't help but wonder if alternate timelines are something that's actually new. If they didn't, how could they have escaped the apocalypse? Adam's door seems to be the first instance of someone harnessing time travel at their whim to visit any location. Even if there was another method, who was supposed to pick him up? Wouldn't they have shown up before he was taken by Martha B? If this was planned, it makes the answer of what happens next even more interesting to me honestly. It also lends itself to Jonas/Martha at the top of the "Tree" but it's Jonas A and Martha B Season 2 has much more a 12 Monkeys the Series vibe with a lot more of time loops circling in on themselves and other relationship paradoxes. I am curious about what outcome they want us to root for though since neither Adam nor Claudia are that sympathetic or altruistic in their reasons for wanting their particular opposing result. Also, I'm in the camp that Noah's first victim is Aleksander. I think that without Aleksander, there's little reason for the inspector who comes in to look harder at Kohler. Without that extra level of scrutiny and without it being so personal, the inspector wouldn't have pushed to tear open the plant and cause the apocalypse.

blue squares posted:I must be the only one that found season 3 a disappointment. Too convoluted but I did like the ending It's not that I found season 3 a disappointment so much as I missed the complex family drama part that was much more prevalent in season 1 and 2. Season 3 was very action and reveal focused (as it should be considering it's wrapping up the series) but the cost of that is the daily life drama the permeated the story. I enjoyed it a lot but I think I would've enjoyed it more if I binged it front to back, the whole thing plays more like a 26 hour movie than a 3 season story. The moment that really hosed with me this season was straight up Katharina being killed by Helene who then went home and beat the poo poo out of Katharina. The cherry on this is remembering back to Bartosz telling Martha about the dead body in the lake. A close second is Elisabeth and Peter's last day in Bernadette's trailer.

xerxus posted:So did the Origin gently caress both versions of Agnes, and abuse both versions of Tronte? To piggyback a little off of what Chef Boyardeez Nuts said. Jonas and Martha don't exist in the real world. Both of them only exist because of the spiraling paradoxes. Claudia on the other hand absolutely exists so if she were to attempt to stop Marek, it would either always fail (for the same reason that Jonas couldn't kill himself) or it would create another paradox that puts them right back in the same (or worse) situation.

Scoss posted:In enjoyed watching it all, but season 3 didn't feel as tight as 1 and 2, and I did not super love how "magical" things got at the very end. Regarding Adam's disfiguration, I took the scene of Jonas getting the lash of electricity as the start of that. The understanding that it wasn't time travel that made him look the way he did but his trial and error building the machine for traveling that scarred him up and down. It's not as "obvious" as like Martha's face scar and could've used more scenes of him getting hosed up by the machine but I'm pretty sure that's what they were trying to do.
