1899s first season follows a group traveling from England to New York City on the coal-powered steamship Kerberos.
Can we find the wake-up key together?
As we await a second-season pickup for1899, lets pore over these lingering questions.
Are there any reliable narrators here?
And if they are in a simulation, who built it?
Who is the Creator?
But can either Henry or Daniel be fully trusted?
She really made this simulation hard on herself!)
What is Ciarans endgame?
Why would he potentially help trap his sister in this place?
And who is he?
I wonder if weve already met him and hes the first mate played by Tino Mewes.
Brother, is that you?
Maybe the1899travelers shouldnt have put their trust in a simulation, either.
Or, you know, named their ship after a god sentenced to eternal punishment for helping out humanity?
Why did anyone else sign up for this gig?
What I cant figure out, though, is whether those pasts are at all real.
Is the Prometheus spaceship like a criminals-going-to-Australia situation?
Are all of these people actually capable of bloodshed?
Do those relationships hold in real life?
Their banter was great!
They helped give the Kerberos a real upstairs-downstairs vibe that I enjoyed!
Are Elliot and Daniel dead?
Second, let me ask: Are Daniel or Elliot alive?
But when Maura comes to the Prometheusspaceship, neither Daniel nor Elliot is there.
Does that mean theyre both strapped into the simulation from somewhere else, maybe another place on this ship?
Is one real memories and one fake memories?
These arent the first ships these people have been on but whythisscenario?
Why a steamship, and why the 19th century?
Why October 19, 1899?
Is it more of an echo of a spaceship than, say, a train or an airplane?
What is the importance of Kate ChopinsThe Awakening?
In a way, they also woke up butThe Awakeningdoesnt end happily, which feels a bit foreboding for1899.
Parallel people, if you will?
We saw a similar thing happen in the final season ofDark, so maybe!
How does one choose between Eyk and Daniel?
The most important question of all and one for which I have no answer.
Both striking in heavy overcoats with popped collars!
Both very brooding and angularly cheek-boned!
Choose your Byronic hero because I (and maybe Maura?)
