I wonder why he thought it would work (old Helge). Wouldn't he have been the one to survive the accident and see the other older man dead when he was younger?
The dynamics between Urlich and Egon is one of my favorite. Their mutual antiphathy is a bootstrap paradox. Of course, Ulrich cites the lyrics of the record he played in 1986, as does Egon.
NOAH: Years ago, I was still a little boy, a stranger came to us. He looked as if he'd been in the war. Didn't talk much. There was this sadness in his eyes. The kind you sometimes see in those who want to die, but life won't let them. He took a room in our house. The bedroom right next to mine. And... sometimes I heard him talk in his sleep. Confused words. But one night, he was suddenly very clear. He stood in the hallway, his eyes wide open, and said... "Nothing is in vain. Not a single breath. Not a single step, not a single word. Not pain. An eternal miracle of the One."
"My only aim is to take many lives, the more the better I feel." was from the song young Ulrich was listening to when Egon came into his room in 1986. An easter egg: that line starts at 33 seconds into the track of the actual song. On the eye color: exposure to heavy radiation can change someone's eye color. Though outside of fiction it gets lighter not darker, also you're very dead.
Props to old Egon. I am English and listen to heavy metal and it took me a couple of extra listens to properly make out the lyrics. Egon is a grumpy old German who hates heavy metal yet he caught it first time. Must be his police training and satanism radar.
Also, when Stranger Jonas opens the worm hole, Magnus and Franzisca see 1986 commercial on TV (remember after 1991 it was called Twix in Germany, too).
What's great about this show - it will eventually all make sense. It's one of the rare examples of series planned from the first episode to the finale... or from the finale to the beginning, lol. Either way, it was written by very clever writers who knew what they were doing :)
I am so happy that you love Dark as much as I do. I totally enjoy your Dark reaction. Your open eyes and ears for details and your discussions and theorizing during and after each episode. It's wonderful to watch you guys do it. I was one of those who had to wait over a year for the next season to start. It was cruel. And before the start of the new season, the rewatch of the previous season was of course a must to be prepared. Can't wait to see your next reaction. Now it's just getting started.
We can’t wait either, this has been one of our favorite shows to watch and react too and the community is one of the best non spoiling communities we have had! Thanks again!
DUDES. You have NO idea how hard it was to wait for season 2. But even worse was waiting for season 3. I actually requested two days off work to binge that one when it came out. I’ve never been more excited for a show to come back as I was this one. And to this day, I still feel that Dark is the best show I’ve seen in my entire life. I can’t imagine anything else comparing-though we’ll see how 1899 is when it comes out. I’m still loving your reactions so much!

Season 02 came out in June 21st, 2019. The day of Micahel's suicide in the series. Season 01 came out in December 1st, 2017. So it was more that a year and a half between Season 01 and Season 02. I watched Dark when S01 dropped. It was painfully long waiting until S02 release.
We feel for you, so in away we are thankful this slipped under our raiders so now we don’t have to wait as long. Haha thanks for watching btw! 🐉

@@ReactionDragonz I wish i hadn't seen Dark. It ruined other shows for me. If i hadn't seen Dark, i still could be blown away by this masterpiece, just like i was when i first saw it. I'm jealous for people who hadn't seen it yet. Now i only can watch other people react to it. That's why i'm watching your reactions almost 4 year later of the premiere, and more than a year later of finale! Since i got introduced into "Dark world", i still can't seem to escape from it.
Well thank you for taking the time to watch us and relive the experience some what. We are looking forward to the next season and continuing this Dark Journey!
Yes, I watched Dark when it came out, and the wait for season 2 was unbearable :) But rest assured, it was more than worth it. Season 2 is on another level.
The wait for next season was horrible. Especially after the end of S2. Rewatching previous season before the next was definately necessary after such a long wait.
I think this is the show I watched most times. I rewatched season 1 as soon as I finished it the first time, then again before I watched season two. After I finished season 2 I think I watched both seasons again. And then again before season 3, and then all 3 seasons after I was finished. Plus I rewatched it all again this spring. And I discovered new connections or foreshadowings every time. It is so good.
What a ride season 1 was...until you realise you haven't even reached the top of the drop of the rollercoaster yet. This is so fun guys & your theories for what' to happen are like oooh, so close! & the stranger being Jonas, once you know you can't unsee it! Can't wait for reactions for S2! I feel like rewatching everything all over again lol
Yeah the show is one of those great shows where you can rewatch it over and over again with the disclosure that your brain will be fried every time. Haha thanks always for the continued support!
You were asking about why Egon guns for Ulrich so much, given younger Egon arrests older Ulrich for killing 3 children and later, older Egon sees younger Ulrich and hears him listening to 'my only aim is to take many lives'. From this Egon is immediately reminded of older Ulrich hence why he is so suspicious of younger Ulrich
It blows my mind how perceptive you guys are! You make so many connections that some people (including myself) don’t realize until the 2nd or 3rd rewatch. It’s fun to see. Can’t wait for your reactions to season 2!
Oh and we had to wait 1,5 years till season 2, not one year ;) But no wait was as crazy as the 2,5 years (!) from season 1 to season 2 of The OA. The Reddit Sub was going nuts. And if you think there is a lot to unpack in Dark ... The OA: Hold my Jacket ☺️ You said s1 Dark is up there with the first seasons of Westworld and True Detective. For me personally the best first seasons ever were The OA, True Detective, Dirk Gently, Daredevil and The Handmaid's Tale. (Mini Series like Chernobyl and White House Farm not included of course) The best seasons ever created for me were The OA Season 2 and 12 Monkeys Season 4. But I have to say Dark Seasons 2 comes fucking close :)
I watched Dark 6 months ago, twice 😁 I enjoyed every minute. It's like your mind changes while watching it. Enjoy, it's an experience you will not have with another series, I guarantee you that...
Easily best show in a long, long time. Total masterpiece, enjoy the rest! To clarify Peter at the start, he was reciting the Addicts Prayer. As Glacier suggested, he was just feeling guilty about wanting to sleep with Benny, so he went down in the bunker to snap himself out of it.
Charlotte talks with Ulrich (in episode 7 or so) about the accident of Helge that happened this episode. It's the reason for Helge's mental state (brain injuries) we see in old Helge. Because of episode 8 I thought the first time watching they talked about what happened to him as a child. But they explicitly talked about a date and that date agrees with the date of accident we see in this episode.
Germany does not have a death penalty. It’s not even a crime to break out of prison - as long as you don’t hurt anyone, damage property or commit another crime while doing it. The urge to be free is deemed a human instinct and therefore to act upon it is not punishable.
Trust we want to binge watch this too and if it wasn’t for other shows we would of, but who knows if our brains would of been able to handle that. Haha thanks for watching !
Man this was such a good reaction once again. Love the fact that one can see that you truly are engaged and love this show. I just notice that same excitement I had when I realized that the photo of Ulrich was in the future and Charlotte started connecting some dots. Gotta say that the favourite one of your reactions was either that one now when I saw your excitement build, or the classic one where Jonas reads the letter for the first time.
Great reaction as always guys! I love your theories even if they're not always right and your enthusiasm gives me such a serotonin boost! Season 2 is even better and I can't wait for your videos ❤
Yes, you are very fortunate you don't have to wait for s2 like we did; I jad to rewatch s1 when s2 loaded and bith s1 and s2 before s3 lol. And trust me when I tell you that next season will really blow your mind...until s3 REALLY blows your mind😛
since you guys like this show so much, i would REALLY recommend the OA. it’s similar in complexity and just. complete insanity lol i’m so so excited for you to see season 2 :) it just gets better from here
Welcome to an amazing season 2! Enjoy the ride guys, it's gonna get crazy, and i'm so excited to see it!! as always, the most expected reaction of the week! 💗✨💗
3:25 Well I hope you noticed during episode 9 when Claudia is visiting Bernd to ask further questions about the incident that she is visiting him at home... in the mansion. So we saw the mansion in all three time planes. And while Bernd still lived there, his son Helge lived in their cabin. ... hope you don't mean "the job" at the nuclear power plant but "a job". The director is still appointed by the supervisory board.
28:27 If you ever go back and rewatch season one you might find yourself wondering how you could not see this coming. For example when the Stranger sneaks into Jonas' bedroom he not only entered the house without breaking in (well he could have picked a lock) but he directly goes for the drawer into which Jonas had just put the cave map earlier that day. Equally with Mikkel's/Michael's suicide note it is pretty telling that he knew about the time of Mikkel's disappearance months in advance. I guess DARK is a show where even a reaction video for a rewatch makes sense in a way.
33:45 Well just to remind you: At the end of episode 7 we saw apocalypse-Claudia for the first time... and she was standing in front of the murder wall from episode 1. And we saw that wall again now...
Loving your reactions 👏 Keep it up, guys. Season 2 is my favourite of Dark. Have fun! Can't imagine your reaction to The OA 😜 Your brains will explode. Hope you put it on your list one day 🤗
Lol I know we are 🔥 up about these next two seasons. There’s not one bad episode that we have scene, shoot there’s not one bad scene every scene is important. Haha
Helge was trying to kill himself but he accidentally ended up killing himself in the process- Dark.
Lol, thats truly Dark in one sentence :D
Haha 😆
I wonder why he thought it would work (old Helge). Wouldn't he have been the one to survive the accident and see the other older man dead when he was younger?
@@michaelshepard4236 well, he did hd dementia
This made me laugh so hard.
The stage has been set, the players have stepped into the light - now, the show begins.
very awesome reactions to first season.... ONTO season 2 :)
Lol thanks for binging! 🤜🤛🐉
It's an unspoken law amongst the people who watched dark, that you don't spoil.
Love it! 🐉
Get ready for season 2!! It gets even better!
I'm waiting for 1899, now (new project by Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese).
The dynamics between Urlich and Egon is one of my favorite. Their mutual antiphathy is a bootstrap paradox. Of course, Ulrich cites the lyrics of the record he played in 1986, as does Egon.

Not pain. An eternal miracle of the One."
Such heavy words when you have the knowledge of the entire show.
@@tiefseehase9503 And well written too. Very poetic. This show's writing has no equal.
Helge has the worst life. Somebody is always trying to kill him and he doesn't know why.
Welcome to the mindfuck season ;)
Haha I know we feel bad about his story. Thanks for watching!
"My only aim is to take many lives, the more the better I feel." was from the song young Ulrich was listening to when Egon came into his room in 1986. An easter egg: that line starts at 33 seconds into the track of the actual song.

@@ganjiblobflankis6581 It certainly reminded him of something. 😀
Thanks for sharing the Easter egg!
Can I just say that the actor who plays the Stranger denies he has brown eyes. He thinks they are more some sort of green.
@@connectingthedots100 Well, brown barring a high intensity light source and an extremely close up inspection then. 😀
Also, when Stranger Jonas opens the worm hole, Magnus and Franzisca see 1986 commercial on TV (remember after 1991 it was called Twix in Germany, too).
I never connected those dots, wow. All the times I’ve seen this show and I didn’t get it. Crazy.
I can't wait for you guys to start season 2. Watching you watch this is like experiencing the show for the first time again.
We appreciate that! Glad we give off that emotion. Seriously one of the best shows to watch and react too! 🐉
now the show started '-'
oof, Season 2 is wild indeed
The Journey has only started. And remember what you know is a drop what you don't know an Ocean.
I remember having to wait for season 2, I almost went crazy

Jonas was in 1986 and apparently got superboosted and slingshotted 66 years into the future by touching Helge + the wormhole. Pretty crazy shit.

I remember when this show came out and many (myself included) dismissed it as an apparent Stranger Things rip-off. Boy, were we ever naïve!
Yeah same here, I guess it was meant to happen so we could watch with all you guys and gals. Been amazing journey so far!
When are you guys gonna finish love death robots?
Once we clear are schedule we will go back to that one and black mirror. Thanks for the support!
