If you found yourself watching1899without having seenDark, you should add it to your list immediately.
Oh, buddies, are you in for a treat when you watch that.
There will be no getting your sea legs before you kick off questioning your reality, okay?
Its all so unclear!
He figured out what you were doing on these ships!
She tosses in an Im not crazy!
and a What have you done to my memory?!
From the very start,1899is forcing us to question, well, everything.
Is the bit in the mental hospital a dream?
Is everything on the boat a dream?
Does the mental-hospital part come after everything were about to see?
Are both realities somehow happening at the same time?
Is this, like, aMatrixsituation?
Is Mauras point of view to be trusted at all?
The unreliability of everything adds an air of unease and discomfort.
So when things go wrong, we can all blame that lady.
Theyre either lying or covering something up or just being a little too shifty not to notice.
She believes her brother was one of the passengers on thePrometheus.
Angel and his brother Ramiro are from Spain.
And then theres the German captain.
Dun, dun, dun!
Several strange things happen at the same time.
Around the same time, a man climbs out of the water and onto theKerberos.
Meanwhile, over on thePrometheus, the team finds a boat torn apart.
Theres no one on it not even dead bodies.
Thats weird in and of itself because, uhh, where did all the bodies go?
But its also strange because someone had to have been sending that message with the coordinates.
WHO SENT THE MESSAGE?!
The team ends up in the dining room on thePrometheus.
Theres still no one there, just a mess of tables and chairs.
Then, Maura sees a shiny green beetle crawling on the ground.
Suddenly, theres knocking coming frominside the cabinet.
Well, its a little boy!
Just hanging out in there!
There are so many questions here: Who locked that kid in there?
And how is he seemingly physically okay after … however long hes been in there?
And what the hell is that small, black, stone pyramid he hands Maura?
Ah, yes, nothing like a creepy kid who doesnt speak to up the freaky factor.
The Manifest
So what do we think the meaning of the pyramid is?
Theres pyramids and triangles popping up all over the place.
Were on triangle watch, baby!
He cant stop his one hand from shaking and takes some sort of medicine.
How about the names of those ships?
Very cool and not ominous choices at all!
