Season 1 Questions!!!!!
I recently finished watching the season 1 of Dark and that show is truly a mindfuck. But there are a few things I feel the season didn’t offer satisfactory explanations for and I, for some very weird reason, am finding it difficult to get past those things and truly appreciate the concept of the show. Some of the things I’d like an explanation for would probably be:
How did mikkel and michael co-exist in the same timeline? As in, how can katharina give birth to mikkel in 2004 when michael already exists? Isn’t he the SAME person? I don’t understand how can the same person exist in two different bodies? And the same question goes for anybody else travelling back to the other timelines where their other selves exist. The other puzzling encounters were that of 1986 Helge with 2019 Helge and the interaction between both the jonases.
How does hannah not question the physical similarities between mikkel and michael as a kid? She must remember how similar he looks to her husband back when he was a kid. And another similar instance involves katharina and ulrich not strangely no being able to recollect seeing an unknown kid in the past (mikkel in 1986) , who looked exactly like their kid.
And as much as I love that the show takes a different approach by claiming that time is non-linear as contrary to the popular belief about it being linear and just love the concept about the future affecting the past just as equally as the past determining the future events,
I just can’t get my head around a couple of these instances that I’ve mentioned about. Please clarify.
