Great, More Please!

Well, that was undoubtedly an eventful episode. A mutiny in which people act irrationally out of fear, with no justification other than panic. On top of that, it provides illustrations of greed. Like Dark, it's heavy on philosophical and thought-provoking elements. After four episodes, I am still trying to comprehend the more cryptic components. I had at first assumed that the two ships, The Kerberos and The Prometheus, existed in different universes with overlapping realities and that the passengers' memories were splintered as a result. The glitches and the fact that every episode's opening sequence has played out the same way allude to a simulation. I have a few more theories: perhaps teleportation is more significant than time travel in "1899"? Is this young boy supposed to represent Prometheus, a figure from the Greek mythos? Lots of questions, barely any resolutions; keeps the viewer guessing; isn't afraid to be puzzling; exactly what I signed up for. My only complaint is that the lack of emoting between the characters makes it seem like they aren't even attempting to make each other comprehend what they're saying.

Rating: 8.2/10 (Great)

STRUGGLE

A good episode depicting the struggle for control in close quarters. For me, this episode is the best of the series so far and brings the slow paced mystery to a breaking point.

There are two opposing sides to choose from - the Captain and the rebels. The Captain wishes to take the ship back to Europe with the Prometheus towing behind as he believes the ship-making company knows something about the mystery.

The Rebels however, wish to continue the journey to New York and begin an uprising, which is evidently successful, and the Captain is imprisoned, along with his allies.

Overall, just a great hour of television and one that will help determine this show's success.

01x04 - The Fight: 8/10 (Great)

The mystery and weirdness aboard this vessel continues and it would appear that everything is connected between the two vessels. This watery stranger could well be the aged version of the youthful boy, while the pyramid appears to be some kind of device that allows one to teleport around.

The thesis I presently have is that everything here's one monumental therapy session and Maura is indeed a therapist, hypnotizing each of the passengers, which would explain the " wake up " whispering and the constant back and froths between recalls and ongoing drama. Then again, take that with a pinch of salt dear Viewers, I 'm Reviewing this without having Watching the rest of the season so that could be way off the mark!

Even So, everything currently's set up for an enthralling other half to this mystery series, which is precisely starting to unveil its aspect and uncloak bits and pieces around what's befalling. Roll on the next episode!

Ok, so less new information in this episode so less questions.

The ship is in crisis as there are two sides of people battling for control of the ship. One thing I didn't quite understand is why there would be people outside of the main characters supporting the captain suddenly. Also, how will they fight for control without any arms? That part felt slightly strange.

We now know what Lucien and Jerome's backstory is and we also learn that he is on a death sentence. I felt that Jerome and Clemence got a little too close to each other real soon so perhaps they knew each other in the past and lost their memory or something. It was shown briefly that Lucien also received a similar style of letter so it feels like some of these people were recruited to be on board of the Kerberos or Prometheus.

I need to praise "The Boy". Perfect casting. Creepy but slightly endearing as he was kind enough to go through trouble of seemingly sacrificing himself to calm down the conflict. Through him, we learn that there is some sort of a parallel world going on. Turned completely Sci-fi now so I'm curious how about how they would push this forward!

An episode full of intrigue
badeclerck22 November 2022
Little by little we start to hate, love the characters. We attach ourselves to them, we learn to love their character, their way of seeing this world, their way of moving forward in it. We regret certain positions. But we admire certain reversals of the situation. The characters are interesting, exciting, they all have an interest in the plot of the story. Each character brings spice to the story, the complexity more and more, we perceive every ounce of their past.

The story continues to build, we begin to see how it is drawn, where it leads us and the place that the characters will have in it. Despite everything we have doubts in this class struggle that represents our society. Another rich, slow but interesting episode in the discovery of the characters.

The fight and a miraculous Boy?
AvionPrince166 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I dont really get into that episode like the others: they have the same problems about the mysteries and try to get us interested by some religious reason about that boy and his curse? I mean the passengers take him for the devil who look like an angel. So during the episode they will try to find him and they will make the captain a prisonner. But they will be alright at the end. The most problematic things with that TV Show is that they tried to make some strangeness scenes (visions of Jerome in a future or a past? But its pretty implicit and we can just be really confused and thats all) we are pretty lost like the main characters. And we dont really know what is a real danger: is it the boy? But he looks nice right? So is he kind? I mean that can really just make us dive into confusions and the writing even if we will get know more later its pretty confused and uninteresting and so much implicit because we dont really what happened. Just the end scene really surprised us and make us want to continue because we see that the doctor was on the list of the passengers of Prometheus. And that can make us curious to know more but thats really all. And we have also the boy who was thrown in the sea and he will get back in boat by a mysterious magics things? I dont really know what happened. And that is a problem no? I know we will understand things later but for me that kind of structure can really make problematic in term of the envy of the viewers to watch more episodes of the show. But i will try to finish it anyway. Because of the end.
