  • I review, breakdown and explain Constellation Episode 7. I discuss the Apple TV+ show which stars Noomi Rapace and Jonathan Banks. I react to the scenes in space, back on earth, and the mysteries behind everything going on. I also give my theories and predictions on future episodes.
    Is Henry/Bud dead? Where was Jo taken? Are there actually four universes?

    The most noteworthy aspect of the cabins for me was the cat, and I think it leads us right back to three realities: In one cabin the cat is alive. In another cabin the cat is dead. In the third cabin, the cat is both alive and dead. The cabin with the alive and dead cat may be liminal space. It's also the only space in which the Alices can communicate, which adds to its in-betweenness.

      @roseliomendoza 7 месяцев назад +18

      I think the liminal space might be twofold. There are 4 paintings. Using the vernacular from Dizmodo's video, we have red cabin, cabin 1 (liminal space 1), cabin 2 (liminal space 2), and blue cabin. Red Jo burns blue cabin and rescues blue Alice who went from blue reality to liminal space 2. The fact that there are 4 variations of the painting hints towards that (angel on stretcher, angel in house, changeling stirring pot, and changeling on stretcher).

    The reference to Schrödinger's Cat with an actual cat means there’s most likely only three "realities." One where the cat is dead, one where it is alive and then the liminal space in between where both possibilities exist. The cabin acts as the box in the Schrödinger's Cat analogy.

Both Alices must be different expressions of the same person because when they’re talking through the cupboard mirror, red Alice suddenly becomes sleepy when blue Alice is losing consciousness, due to smoke inhalation.

    Very well done scene putting all the pieces on the table. I like everyone knowing what's happening and its not the Three's company troupe where you don't believe someone who heard something out of context.
    Jonathan Banks is one of the best actors alive and this is some great work.
    If you put Jo back in her correct universe, I don't see a huge need for more seasons.
    If you don't put Jo back in her correct universe, please renew so I can have closure.
    Thank you AppleTv. You are putting out some of the best hard science fiction today. There is no second place. I love this episode.

  • @cheburashko0
    @cheburashko0 7 месяцев назад +11

    Just some thoughts: Henry has an idea that the switches have something to do with death (as well as stress trauma and lithium) - i think its not death exactly - but someone on the verge of death - between life and death. Everything seems to revolve arround liminal spaces - a mirror is a barrier (space) between our world and the one we seen in the mirror; Alices age; crossing the earth orbit seems to be connected with that as well; the cabin is on the edge of the lake - so between land and watter - or perhaps between wilderness and civilization...
    That connects to Valya/Irina, and also - it was probably Blue Joe that released the conection mechanism inside the station - they never left the liminal SPACE (literally) - and so they are both dead and alive at the same time...

    I think death plays a part in the universe switch as when bud fired the shot to kill Paul the switch initiated and then when blue Alice is about to die in the snow. Red Alice seems more present and then vanishes again when blue Alice is revived. So it would appear death is a trigger to another state where they can switch. Possibly could indicate aswell why irena is dying of cancer in her universe but dead as the cosmonaut but may have more sinister intentions in order to get back to her universe hence why she’s haunting alice

    If episode 8 will be like the finale of other shows, they'll have the episode go as normal but the last 5 minutes try to tie up loose ends and get us knotted up with frustration.
    Maybe Jo can't swap back because her original body is dead? She appears to be in Quantum Flux. Each time she gets pain in her eye, the Quantum state is trying to fix itself to it's original fixed point. The state tries and fails, then attempts again with a different algorithm and will keep trying until it's successful. This success could change the positioning state of Jo physically to a last known stable version, bumping her into the past, where she (Jo A) and dead Jo (Jo B) were last in the same location in both Universes. Perhaps placing her back on the ISS before Jo A left making her Jo B. Quantum defies time, it's a bridge between realities in this show, it is the liminal space.

    Angel on the stretcher is the og painting, not a crossover. Also both Alice's see things from both universes in thar freaky cabin, 2 paintings, 2 cats. The freaky cabin is the liminal space, it is the third one but it changes its contents according to the observer (Jo is the observer here).
    So all in all, 3 cabins - red, blue, liminal in which content change according to the beholder but it shares the same "space".

  • @MarkoSertic

    I was diligently trying to follow everything in this episode but at a certain point I swore out loud. I think it was when we saw a new painting “version”. The angel in the changeling painting. I then realized we had a FOURTH reality (or cabin). Regarding the heavy handed Schrodingers cat reference, we saw both of them together when Jo saw the other reality in the reflection. Like one was bleeding into the other.
    No way the wrap these things up in one more episode…

      My understanding is "The Changeling" is a series of paintings and they have all of them hanging in the cabin. The one they focus on may help to determine which universe they are in. But I know I saw a scene with the same characters, but you could see a couple different versions of the painting on different walls depending on the camera angle.

With as confusing as it is for me personally my one big problem with the show has become "what do I care which reality wins". I haven't developed an emotional attachment or or become distressed at the notion of anyone's reality disappearing, even if that's what the goal is.

    I think you're right about there being 4 cabins. Red universe cabin, the liminal-space cabin red Alice goes to, blue universe cabin, and the liminal-space cabin blue alice finally finds this episode (referred to as cabin 2)
    I'm afraid they're going to end up with a plot hole if they say the CAL causes the swapping because when Bud and Henry swapped, the CAL didn't exist yet. And if they say the CAL can work through time as well, then it kinda sucks that it wasn't made more clear how that works.
    That said, so far, one Henry, one Paul, one Alice, and one Jo have all physically touched the active CAL device. I can imagine they'll show Irena touching it as well and implying that every single Astronaut that was ever given the lithium touched an active CAL in some universe or another. That would raise some questions for me, but the main "one" is: do only 2 primary universes interact? And why? Because it seems like there have been too many astronauts and cosmonauts who've gone "crazy" (aka swapped) to suggest that THAT many people, in one universe or another, have touched the active CAL device.

      I don’t think CAL causes the switch in space … but I think it causes it on Earth. I think Henry mentioned trying to capture what happened to him (and others) in space in his design of CAL. It’s clear that the old broken cabin with snow inside is the liminal space, and it seemed they were implying that there are two liminal spaces (making it 4 realities) but it could be just one visible through mirrors only

    @rmedzoyan 7 месяцев назад +10

    I’ll mention again concepts that have been introduced in past episodes. There are two realities (cat is dead and cat is alive), but there is also an interference pattern when the two realities diverge. As with Schrödinger’s a cat, the box has opened, and the characters are “realizing” the different possibilities by inadvertently “observing” them, through the disruption created by the CAL. Jo can be both alive and dead, Paul can be both alive and dead, the astronauts can either have died or been saved. What had Alice said earlier in the season? She’s not dead until we know she’s dead. This is the psychological state people experience when a loved one is missing, and the body has not been found. They are both dead and alive. This show is about different observers, Jo, Alice, Paul, Henry, Magnus, etc. who are no longer all observing the same reality. It was strange. I have to go back, because there seemed to be flashing lights and law enforcement at the cabin both in the blue Magnus, and the red Magnus realities. Did blue Magnus call 911 also? Did red Alice find the CAL at some point?

    • @TheorySmack

      Yeah, there’s two sets of police

      Another observation, after watching the incident in episode one and episode six carefully, When the CAL is being activated red Jo and Alice are at the window. during the event Blue Jo still has her iPad and Alice is visible on the screen. Meanwhile, red Jo loses connection with Alice. Blue Jo gets her iPad knocked out of her hand and gets sucked into the light then crashes head first to the perforated window. Blue Jo sees this and still has her iPad on hand. Blue Alice never lost her connection and would have seen the accident real time, but does not seem to be aware when she arrives at school, while blue Wendy looks distressed and says she had bad dreams.

    I’m with you, I prefer logical and clear stories but we need to consider that we are dealing here with QUANTUM MECHANICS! And this is how has been happening, Einstein didn’t like it either but it is what it is, the Universe don’t need to be like we want it to be unfortunately. So, in quantum mechanics there are many experiments and phenomena that are linked to the viewers interpretation, scientist and experiment are joined together. So I think at the end this series will end like that, with viewers discoursing what is the “real” interpretation but like in the scientific world none one would be able to convince the others. In this way, I think this will mirror the quantum reality so it would be the right ending for this great series. At least that is my opinion. Thanks for your always valuable insights!

    The cabin is a liminal space, where realities shift & other perceptions are accessible. The pictures change to reflect current experiences. There's a lot to decipher. When the 2 Alices are communicating in the cupboard, blue Alice, the mediator, tells red Alice "I think it's your mamma who's alive & my mummy who died. I think they swapped places." They must be different expressions of the same person because when blue Alice is losing consciousness due to smoke inhalation, red Alice is becoming very tired & losing consciousness also. Jo carries Alice outside to resuscitate her, while red Alice observes some feet away
    & talks to Jo. Which one is real? Henry Caldera shifts to Bud in LA, when he approaches the cabin front door & kicks it open. A gun shot is heard, & he's suddenly holding an invisible gun in his right hand. He entered the liminal space of the cabin.

    The issue about Jo explaining the CAL device confidently can simply be explained by the discussion she had with Henry. He pretty clearly explained to her what it was for. As for the beginning, discovering matter as "alive and dead" at the same time can absolutely be matter in a different state. It also is potsntially just a quick and simple means to explain to a child.
    Also, if i remember correctly from the earlier episodes, its not 100% clear that everyone knoes exactly what the research of the CAL is for. So thats also something to think about but ill need to watch the first couple episodes again.

    In episode 4, Henry took Jo into his office, where she saw his notes on the board while he was discussing the CAL with her and where she began to understand what the CAL is. From there, she could postulate what the CAL does, based on her own experiences while she's in its presence. Remember, while in the car with Alice, they were able to hear the ghost recordings clearly when Jo placed the tape recorder machine closer to the CAL. She continued to listen to the clear recordings, in the cabin, with the CAL placed right beside the machine. In episode 7, while she was discussing the different experiences that blue universe Alice and her had of the moments leading up to the accident in space, Jo began to work out what the CAL actually does. She's a scientist, so her arriving at those conclusions, on her own, is reasonable.

      The body could have switched from red to blue (ie accident happening in red universe first and Cal activation and then body switches to blue?) But then we have Irena and dead cosmonaut in blue universe simultaneously… maybe this works if dead body is in space. Maybe as long as dead body is in space the other could live in own universe (good news for Jo going back to red, bad news for Paul going back to blue).

      Jo might be too but she is always with Alice, and imagine her telling her child: „I am a cat in the box!“ or „I am in the wrong universe“. this is a terrible situation to process yourself and then to say to a kid who is alone with you „you are not my child“ -was already tough.
      We saw how Alice reacted to it.

    Hi, your note at 1:23 where you say she came from a universe where the CAL didn't exist but suddenly knew about it. This is similar to her piano playing in one of the earlier episodes. It seemed that knowledge trickled from one universe to another? If that is true in the show I think it makes the show a little more complicated.

    Quick note- the painting at the end is the real (original) Wounded Angel (Blue World), not a hybrid. In Red World it’s The Changeling and in Liminal World(s) it’s either changeling on stretcher or angel in front of fireplace 😮‍💨

  • @glorfindel4625
    @glorfindel4625 6 месяцев назад

    I thought that the switching might be due to death or near-death, so Bud switches to Henry because he had shot Paul, Bud and Henry originally switched due to the crewmates dying, and Blue Jo died and switched her consciousness to Red Jo's body. Paul had the same situation as Jo. It could also be due to liminal spaces since Henry was by the ruined cabin when he switched with Bud. Henry also said earlier that he thinks the CAL is making everything worse, so it could be making people more aware of other realities.

    I think you're spot on, but, I also hope you're wrong about the next episode. To do a show with such complexity involving alternate universes it really has to be extremely well thought out. You can't have mistakes like Jo all of a sudden knowing what the Cal is AND having a completely different explanation of it from another Jo. Each character from each universe needs to be consistent with their reality or it makes it even more confusing than it already is. I hope they do explain everything in the last episode. But, like you I am skeptical I have to admit.

    Did Red Alice and Magnus cross over into the liminal dimension or is there a fourth dimension? And what happened to the Cal? Did it stay with Henry when he crossed over or does Bud have it? Introducing more than 3 realities really starts to turn this into a bit of a cluster.

    I could be wrong, but I think the switching you are talking about has to do with proximity to the CAL device. My only problem with that is it doesn't explain how Valya/Irena and Bud/Henry switched back in the 70's before the device existed. and if it's just a matter of going to space that causes it, why is it only happening to some people and not all the crew members?

Moreover, if Jo hadn't left the bathroom, would the other Alice who woke up have been able to find them both there? This also suggests that both Alices were in the same cabin at the same time for quite a while. Furthermore, if it were the cabin where Magnus slept, they would have woken him up. Besides, the tub was empty in Magnus's cabin. It's unclear whether the tub was empty in the other Alice's cabin.

    Was it just me or has Alice now so finally switched into the other universe she makes a point to say that I am your Alice, I was thinking, maybe the effect just took longer to fully effect her in her as she was affected by the experience, because she was connected on the iPad at the time.
    They make a big point that the effect does not want to be seen, and I’m guessing that we can call universe three The Schrodinger Cat universe with things exist in both states of exactly the same time, which was why both Joe and her husband found no one in the cupboards at the time. Because they were both there, and not there exactly the same time. But when they both tried tubes of the effects, that’s why they saw empty cupboards could both hear it through the tape player.
    Well, in the final, we gonna learn the truth the big question is how will we leave the series ending will we be stuck knowing that Joecan never go back to her universe, and hopefully I’m right Alice’s did switch but at least mother and daughter will be together but at what cost at this rehabilitation clinic and is the dead cosmonaut right? Will she be able to speak to her dead mother which makes the question how is that possible considering that the body is still in space but then again, according to quantum mechanics, the distance doesn’t matter, they may the evident that time she was in the spacecraft and she was able to go down the corridors see her daughter in that cupboard while we’re gonna have fun with the finale and everything together all going well
