Netflix Series DARK (spoilers)

But in all seriousness, can’t do the English dub. I watch with English subtitles. Much better IMO. 

I just can't wrap my head around this theory, and to me, it is a reality.  

- Time travel will never exist, or else there would be time travelers amongst us (unless there currently are, and we have no clue)

- You cannot change the past, as it is already written.  Whatever decision you (as a time traveler) make in the past, it's already been done.  Everything you do is predetermined.  You may think you have free will in the moment, but history has already been written.

Not if you read up on the multiverse theory of infinite universes and multiple timelines.

Many of these syfy time travel series/movies involve some sort of "policing" agency that attempts to "preserve the timeline" from people altering the past.

Travelers, Timeless, Star Trek: Voyager, TimeCop, DC Legends of Tomorrow, etc all have someone/something that is "watching" those that travel in time and keep them from altering the timeline "too much".

I like the German version with English subtitles as well. Like Auto, the emotion and such doesn’t match with a dub.

For those hesitant, the English subtitles isn’t as big a deal as most shows, because of the plot. It’s a detective show at it’s core, so lots of screen time with minimal to no dialogue. Makes it easier to follow.

Just reporting in for the good of the order, here.

Gut - 12 Monkeys is nowhere close to Dark.  

LMAO.  You haven't even watched 1/2 the first season.  Go read reviews and spoil it for yourself.  You're an idiot.  S3 of 12 Monkeys shits all over Dark, they aren't even remotely in the same league.  

And Dark is good, just that 12 Monkeys is exceptional top-to-bottom.  

Kate Upton is ugly.

Gut, I disagree with you.  But thanks for calling me an idiot for not agreeing with you!!!!!!!1!!!!!

Don't agree with my opinion?! IDIOT!

Typical gut.

Typical gut. 

He made that proclamation after 2 shows of a series consistely reviewed, ranked and rated higher than Dark - a show he puts in the top-5 all-time after 1 season, and one not even on the radar of the top-5 of its subgenre.

If you liked Dark, you should check out 12 Monkeys.   Don't listen to ETB.   

Last time I'll talk about 12 Monkeys in this thread.

I ranked it in MY TOP 5.  Jesus.  You take it so fucking personal that I don't like your stupid show (as much) as I like my stupid show.  You are not an idiot for disliking Dark (compared to 12M).  You're an idiot b/c of the bolded.

For the good of the order, 12M is picking up.

Sucks that they're not even going to begin filming Season 2 until June 25.  Would make it obviously fitting were it to air in 2019.

No, I always said I liked Dark.  It could be great, I'm just in wait-n-see mode.

Truce.....I'm excited to see you're take on 12M because, frankly, hardly anyone has watched it.

Syfy rankings are all over the place.  But the source material is very similar.   Although I do get why someone might like Dark better.   But I'm confident if you love one, you'll love the other.  Fortunately for your paradox addiction, series finale of 12M will air this summer.

Enough.....This is a thread about Dark.  Start a 12 Monkey thread if you like [but obviously I have nothing to say]/

The sub-genre doesn't get the ratings.  Saw a blurb where, I think, SyFy hasn't had a single series go beyond 5 years.

For example, "Timeless" is a good, enjoyable show....one for the mainstream masses.....but more entertaining than great.

5 Seasons is long enough, in my opinion.  In 2018, with binge watching being the way to watch TV, people get too impatient.  I'm not saying that is a good thing, but it is what it is.  I honestly would like to see a lot more shows set up as mini-series.  Peaky Blinders being 6 episodes per season is not a bad idea, but I think it would be great if they could, say, film 4 seasons, and release them each quarterly throughout the year.  Year is over, series over.

Star Trek TNG and Voyager both went over 5 seasons. But you’re right, most sci-fi don’t last that long. 

Stargate SG1 went for 10 seasons. I thing SG Atlantis was 7 (may have been 5...)

Bringing this back up. Haven’t seen the second season yet, but those who have can freely post here while the rest of us catching up can go to TV Thread without fear lol.

I'm halfway through  and love it so far. 

The twist of Adam is great at the end of ep. 4. 

The whole series reminds me so much of Twin Peaks in that I think I know what is going on, but at times I have no idea what is going on.
