Katarina's whole life was tragic. She was named after a woman she hated (who was using her name as an alias), she had an abusive mother, her husband cheated on her with the woman she was named after, her son went missing then her husband. When she finds out what's going on and tries to free her husband she ends up getting killed by her mother. Just awful.
@@kvm6true... but as a teenager. Lots of people did terrible things as kids and grew up. As a woman she's still a tragic figure. And her terrible behaviour, whilst deplorable was in part caused by her mother. Such an interesting character.
Katarina's death hits even harder when you remember the lake scene from an earlier episode where, if I recall correctly, Magnus is telling the story of a woman who was murdered and had her body left at the bottom of the lake. Then you watch this episode and realize he was taking about his own mother without knowing it.
it's kinda even worse? Bartosz is telling the story while Magnus dives under the surface and grabs Martha's leg to scare her, so Magnus is unknowingly pretending to be his dead mother grabbing his sister from under the lake, which is pleasantly chilling in hindsight. bonus: a little while later, Magnus sees what appears to be a dead body floating in the lake (it turns out to be Franziska, but still)
Never really cared for Peter but that death scene was brutal on my first watch. In the end, he died protecting his daughter and you gotta respect that.
I don't know why Katarina's death shook me the most to the core. Not only the event in itself but the genius storytelling. How insignificant the story of the drown women in the lake that seemed so unimportant at what was probably the "happiest" episode of the series, when we got to see all of our beloved characters smiling before the tragedy of fate struck them and then tying it to the death of one of the most important characters of the show. Katarina and Peter had their faults, like you said. but they were clearly in the "heroic" side of the characters, unlike Ulrich and Hanna. And our poor beautiful Jonas, who was tormented and abused constantly through this series. He was just an innocent, mild mannered teenager who loved his father. And the saddest thing is that he wasn't even bound to become Adam at all. He died a martyr. With wings to boot.
Awesome shirt. I love the shot with Jonas lying there and the family tree looks like angel wings. Also this show is so good, they tell you Peter dies a couple episodes ago and when it's happening, you're still like "no, this isnt happening".
when i first watched it and understand it i said to myself people better appreciate how crazy good this show is,and thankfully i found alot of people like me and that made me kinda happy lol
5.05 The actor of young Peter is the real son of the actor of Peter Doppler 😉 7:00 Excellent acting of Carlotta von Falkenhayn. I got goosebumps every time and tears in my eyes 😪 By the way! Awesome shirt!
When Mikkel arrives at the school in season 1, we hear a conversation about a song (Jeanny by Austrian singer Falco) which (seemingly) is about a guy who captures and kills a girls because her red lipstick caught his attention. Young Hannah mentions her father says lipstick would be for prostitutes only. When we see Elli using Franziska's lipstick soon after, everyone expected her to be the next child go missing, were relieved when she isn't and thought they led us deliberately in the wrong direction. In season 2 we hear the song on the radio when Magnus visits Benny's "trailer of love". And now Elli almost fell victim to a s3xcrime at that location.
You have no idea how much I love this episode! Not only the writing is so on point but the music (In the Woods Somewhere by my favourite artist Hozier) used in the montage also fits perfectly with the narrative. The song talks about a fox (I see this as Elisabeth Doppler, we’ve seen her with a fox hat early on in the first season, the song choice is definitely intentional) that has been attacked by some kind of predator/monster in the woods and the singer showing mercy by killing it to end the pain. Then he goes on to sing about being preyed upon by the same monster that attacked the fox and he’s running to save the life he didn’t have. It’s so beautiful and melancholic.
It is so nice looking at your reaction when you are so in touch with the story and haven't gotten confused and lost, like I was during my first watch of the season. Despite multiple re-watches it seems like I learn new things from watching you react to it and talk about your theories and thoughts.
I’ve gotta agree with you Im, shows and movies of this nature always enthrall me. These dark stories with a very bleak presentation certainly capture my attention for some reason, glad to know I’m not the only one. I’m sure many fans of Dark feel the same.
The story is so tragic. Katarina grew up with an abusive, mentally unwell mother who wishes she'd gone through another abortion, but she broke out of it and became a great mother herself, only to die at the hands of her own mother anyway decades later. Ulrich wouldn't even know what happened to her and he'd presumably just live out the rest of his days in that asylum. Our Jonas, the one who travelled to a different universe, is now dead; but had he lived he would have grown old to be Adam, the very man who inflicted the most painful hurt to himself. Given this, what kind of ending would be a good ending? I wonder what Im thinks...
There is a direct connection between young Helene Albers' abortion and her troubled relationship with her daughter later in life, when Katharina has her first sexual experiences with Ulrich. Helene wants Katharina to stay innocent at all costs, unlike what has happened to herself as a kid. As we know by now: "A person lives three lives. The first ends with the loss of naïveté, the second with the loss of innocence, and the third with the loss of life itself." Katharina, despite being sort of a bully at school and initially continuing the cycle of violence she experienced at home by her mother, later actually turns out to be a good mother herself to Martha, Magnus and Mikkel. That is, until she travels to the past to find Mikkel and free old Ulrich, gets into a struggle with her mom (who is slightly younger there than time-traveled-Katharina) and gets killed by her mom, because Helene assumes Katharina is the demon of her aborted child that the devil sent to torment her... By the way, in the 80s, Katharina was posted up in that house for three months or so, searching everywhere for Mikkel during the day, sleeping in his bed at night. On the evening of her untimely death, Mikkel finally returns to the house, and they miss being reunited by a fraction of a day. Upon first viewing, i didn't realize how much this actually adds to the tragedy. In the last scene, the family tree becomes Jonas' angel wings 😢
Great reaction and discussion as always. I knew you'd love this one. It's in my top 3 episodes of the entire series for all the same reasons you mentioned. Plus the journey of the St. Christopher pendant is just brilliant.
I don't think Noah knew how exactly Peter would die. In season 2 episode 1, his older self basically tells him that he won't tell him (his younger self) everything that's going to happen or how because it would prevent him from being able to do what needs to be done later. Also, when he returns to the cave to find Elisabeth there the look he has on his face seems like shock mixed with pity. I think he was told that she needed to be protected after her dad dies but not much else. Their relationship later seems like it evolved naturally and that they really were in love. As horrible as what happened to Eli in the camper was, I like knowing that after she found her way to Noah, nobody dared to fuck with her again. She's a badass on her own, but I'm sure he taught her how to take care of herself too.
Am obsessed with your shirt. Where did you get it? 🤩 But yes, this is such an intense episode. Young actress that plays Elisabeth did AMAZING, such a powerful performance. I felt Peter + Katharina's deaths more in my soul than Jonas' as well. They really did not deserve this. And Ulrich, standing there all alone. Pff, I felt that.
I love your breakdown. Plus, your take on the score. The music makes it. Cannot wait until your reaction to last episode, mind blowing brother. And I too gigged out about 1899. Is this another thread with Stranger Jonas actor in it?
oh my god, at the end of every video when you say goodbye, the melody starts VERY gradually. I never watch until the last second, and I always thought I was going crazy when I heard a barely audible melody. I just now thought of watching it to the end, the melody really builds up... it was really creepy dude :D
Love the shirt! I guess you could say this was a pretty "Dark" episode. 😅 In all seriousness, I have a soft spot for Ulrich, so seeing him get kicked while he's already down hurts. Poor guy. Both Ulrich and Egon. 😞
Way back in Season 1 when Ulrich is arrested for rape. Katarina is questioned by Tiederman. She has bruises on her face and Tiederman asks her if Ulrich did that to her. Now we know who it was. Brutal episode. The shots of Elizabeth blood soaked and in shock.
I do love your DARK reactions - you are really a movie buff! You "dive" into the scenes and search for the "language" of the movie makers - how the movie is constructed, told, translated into pictures!. Looking forward to the last three reaction videos of DARK = the ending is the beginning / what we know is a drop; what we don't know is an ocean!
Following your reactions on Dark from the beginning, I was looking forward for you to react especially on this episode. It's my favorite of the whole series for the reasons you mentioned, but mostly because of the brilliance of that trailer-scene. Such an outstanding camera work, haunting music and soundeffects and above all the fantastic acting of Carlotta von Falkenhayn as Elli. I was shocked, when I saw it for the first time and thinking of Dark in general, that scene comes to my mind first. Well, I'm ready for the last three. Be prepared for the next one. It was the most difficult to get, for me at least. But you'll be fine, as always. I enjoy your reactions to Dark a lot. Greetings from Berlin.
Such a hard episode to watch. I watched this for the first time yesterday and man, kinda traumatized me. I hate that Ellie had to be there while her father was murdered and be the one to kill the guy. It was an awful scene. Broke my heart what she had to go through from beginning to end. I don't think I'll ever get over it, that was so traumatic for her. Really interesting seeing the love in young Noah's eyes when he comes to her, like this love and compassion for her. Really looking forward to seeing how their relationship progresses. Also gosh, Katarina going out like that at the hands of her own mother, jeez. What a horrible end to her story. Had a really hard time watching that and her mom using this notion of her not being real to justify her actions. And then to follow that by her continuing to be abusive to young Katarina with no compassion for her is so heartbreaking. Gosh. And with young, but not current Martha being the one to kill Jonas!? Wow. Wow. And like you said, the pain is still so fresh for her. I really wonder what brings her to the point of pulling the trigger so soon after seeing it happen. Looking forward to you seeing the next episode next week, it's one of my new favorites I think.
I admit I totally forgot about the drowned woman story when I saw Katharina's death scene. That's why this show is so amazing for rewatches. Your mind is still getting blown numerous times, not only the first time. P.S. And yes, her name's spelled with an 'h', I don't know why everyone is assuming otherwise 😁
Love your reactions! Also wow nice shirt man. I did not expect this lol. I was once a patreon of yours, back then during attack on titan. I was until you took a break after the first half of season 3. I will probably become a patreon of you again once you are done with DARK. I need to wait until you finished it since I want to binge watch the whole thing with you.

Young Peter Doppler is played by the actor's son. Yes, The resemblence is uncanny.
Katarina's whole life was tragic. She was named after a woman she hated (who was using her name as an alias), she had an abusive mother, her husband cheated on her with the woman she was named after, her son went missing then her husband. When she finds out what's going on and tries to free her husband she ends up getting killed by her mother. Just awful.
At least she will never realise that her daughter has been killed while she was absent 🤷♂️
Well, just because of this don't forget she was a bully and beat up Regina for no particular reason
Also her son was married to the woman she was named after. And her grandson made out with her daughter.
@@kvm6true... but as a teenager. Lots of people did terrible things as kids and grew up. As a woman she's still a tragic figure. And her terrible behaviour, whilst deplorable was in part caused by her mother. Such an interesting character.
@@kvm6 you trying to say she deserve all that just because she bullied somebody in school?👀
Katarina's death hits even harder when you remember the lake scene from an earlier episode where, if I recall correctly, Magnus is telling the story of a woman who was murdered and had her body left at the bottom of the lake. Then you watch this episode and realize he was taking about his own mother without knowing it.

bonus: a little while later, Magnus sees what appears to be a dead body floating in the lake (it turns out to be Franziska, but still)
Yea thats crazy,the more you watch this show the more you see how cruel it is 🤣
Never really cared for Peter but that death scene was brutal on my first watch. In the end, he died protecting his daughter and you gotta respect that.

Everyone: "That was a lot of Marthas"
Zack Snyder: "You can never have too many Marthas"
Awesome shirt.
I love the shot with Jonas lying there and the family tree looks like angel wings. Also this show is so good, they tell you Peter dies a couple episodes ago and when it's happening, you're still like "no, this isnt happening".
13:30 Our Jonas dies as an angel with wings. This episode is always so raw, so many depressing deaths.
this is brilliant show and definitely rare. dark instantly became a standard. really looking forward to see the creators' new show, 1899.
when i first watched it and understand it i said to myself people better appreciate how crazy good this show is,and thankfully i found alot of people like me and that made me kinda happy lol

By the way! Awesome shirt!
The son of the actor, who plays Peter Doppler, plays the young Peter Doppler.
Great T-shirt! The initials "H.G." of Tannhaus is a homage to H.G. Wells of "The Time Machine"

Your hat blends in so well with the chair I thought you were missing the top of your head

The casting is incredible…
The young Peter Doppler was played by the son of the adult Peter Doppler actor.

This is the best episode of Dark.
I recall just sobbing multiple times.
This episode is just the very definition of sadness. Dark is totally a greek tragedy.
I forgot about the scene where Franziska meets Eli and Charlotte. This whole episode is relentless, one of the greatest
I don't think Noah knew how exactly Peter would die. In season 2 episode 1, his older self basically tells him that he won't tell him (his younger self) everything that's going to happen or how because it would prevent him from being able to do what needs to be done later.

‘There is something addictive about the bleak nature of the show’ I absolutely agree 👍
6:45 This scene was straight out of The Last of Us.
oh my god, at the end of every video when you say goodbye, the melody starts VERY gradually. I never watch until the last second, and I always thought I was going crazy when I heard a barely audible melody. I just now thought of watching it to the end, the melody really builds up... it was really creepy dude :D

The boy who plays young Peter is actually the son of the actor who plays older Peter. Greetings from Germany✌

Young Peter Doppler is actually the son of the actor who plays original Peter Doppler

Nice Shirt :)
I love that Elli wears Franziskas sweater from Episode 4.
I love your reaction(s) and how you speak about everything. Great reactor. :)

I believe I saw an interview that said the actor that played young Peter Doppler was the actor for Peter’s real life son
I can relate to the feeling you mean when watching shows like this
