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.
