Ughh…
Basically to weird. Kinda sucked. Don't know if I am up for a season 3.
@@sharonstegall2964 if they even BOTHER to make a season 3. Took em 2 years to get us this crap 😤🙃🙃‼️🤷🏽♀️season one was barely enough the mystery is what got us intrigued…but season 2 there’s nothing for us ht
I think Joy and Perry subconsciously navigated their way through the hole. If you consider their biggest desires. Joy to not lose herself in the process of becoming sheriff. So she reconnected with her ancestors, and Perry wanting to correct his past mistakes.
I like this idea, but it doesn’t explain why young Royal ended up in a particular year after shooting his dad. I get that he just. “Wanted to escape”, but why the 1980’s versus any other time?
Sounds like dark matter
i was reminded why i loved this show to begin with. the tone and writing is contemplative and unique. Hope they don't cancel it!
Let’s hope they do
I liked this season, it's different for sure but it was still good. I think in general everyone is getting a little spoiled off of shows handing out answers so quick and easy. This season did answer a lot of questions, the main one being are they in a time loop. Perry and little Royal proved that not to be true. "The future's not set!" That opens up so many possibilities that I'm excited to see.
If the show turns out like Lost I'll eat my words, but I'm happy with Season 2.
Narcissitic losers that dont achieve anything aren't happy with anything anymore nowadays
But Perry was in time line 1960s, then jumped to the nte of the killing.. How tf did he do that? That was a stupid imo, at least show how he can decide what time line to be in, show how he works the hole to his choosen like that.. Maybe we find out later.. I doubt it tho
@@todgerx obviously this is a mystery for next season and it wasn't answered yet?
@@finn-thehuman-mertens yeah there's that chance.. I'm hoping ur right.. It wud be lazy ass writing if they don't explain it.. Wasn't a bad season.. Just OK for me.. 👍
MULTIVERSE!!!!!!!!! Has to be
I enjoyed s2 more than s1 but liked them both, my biggest worry is just that the show gets canceled.
Why would it? The ratings are favorable
You must be really, really high.
Thanks!
My thoughts exactly.
I mean, I can’t see a good reason why at this point, but all factors considered.. yes, we always have to wonder, wait, and see.
@@lukeGGleeso were the ratings for Yellowstone
@@vapotrini why do you think so ? It’s a valid possibility
Hopefully we get a season 3 to tie everything together
I loved this season. It did a great job with Perry’s storyline and how he ended up in a reality where he could live as if he didn’t murder one of the brothers. I enjoyed autumn this season when she wasn’t on the meds but once she took the mineral and kidnapped Amy, throwing her into the hole- now truly putting her future into effect. The show is doing a great job edging us on before giving us real answers. I also love that the whole family now knows about everything
Unless someone goes to where she’s at and brings her back
You get the idea it's a multi-verse when Wayne Tillerson was miraculously cured of his stroke/coma.
Or perhaps stepping into time has ramifications. The original timeline Royal shoots his father in a hunting accident. And perhaps that is what originally happened. But when Joy travels back and takes the action to rescue Flower, she changes the course of events that happen that day for Royal and his father. They do something different now because of her being there - instead of going hunting, they are tracking Joy. So it makes me wonder if it's a multi-verse or simply an adjustment to the timeline. Perhaps Wayne wasn't "cured", but more something changed in the timeline so that Wayne never ends up having a stroke, or the one he had was very mild. I can't imagine that 1985 Royal wouldn't remember meeting his own son.
@@TigerLily61811I think you’re right. My take was the memories were changing based on actions taken in the past.
I feel like the billboard "America wants you to believe that the only things worth knowing are those that can be known. America is wrong." perfectly fits the nature of the show and offers an answer to why it may feel like they aren't trying to plate up for the viewer direct whys and hows.
I feel like for the most part, that's the theme of the show. Unlike season one where everything was a secret, this season made an effort to ensure that all the key characters either opened up, shared long kept secrets, shared their burdens, had revelations and tried some version of honesty and truth seeking - something i feel like is meant to either be a direct contrast to the mysterious nature of the hole which season 1 encapsulated thematically (secrets and mysterious characters) or it's setting our characters for failure in season 3, where all their honesty, openness and trying to do the right thing proves fruitless and pointless, maybe implying that, much like the ambiguous nature of the hole, there is no one direction or result for any effort - sometimes things just are, sometimes things just happen, fate is fate and no one, no intention, no effort and no reason can alter nature or the future (the unknown). There's a lot of focus in the first half of the season concerning a lose of faith and whittling away of the expectation that the trustworthiness of a name, all the effort the Abbots put into being good people in their community, "being salt of the earth" would result in being offered a helping hand when they need it most. The spiral Cecilia experience as everything turns against her and she feels the potential of losing her home (both family farm and family), the community instead talking behind their back, family bank refusing them a loan, the judge conspiring against them and showing no leniency. . . I feel like this portion strongly sets up the idea that effort is for naught; what we believe, what we think we know should happen, and what ends up happening are two opposing things.
I feel like it wouldn't be a stretch to say some of the show's overall theme is: surrender to the idea that the most we can ever know for sure is knowing we merely hope and think.
This show focus very much on the psychological impact and trauma they experience
the Trevor that died in season one is the Trevor that was running away from both of the Perry’s in the season 2 alternate reality, the Trevor that Royal threw in the hole is very much alive somewhere, remember even the coroner confirmed that Trevor was only dead for hours, not for days and the cause of death was different.
It wasn't all that bad. cmon guys.
Yes, it was. It is stupid. It's not even artistic trash.
That was boring.
Season 2 wasn't DARK-level like a lot of people wanted, personally I love being edged with sci-fi plotholes as many episodes as possible before all the answers drop.
I loved every episode of it, especially the psychedelic implications of viewing time as non-linear
I enjoyed it as well, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat disappointed that we didn't really learn much more about the hole than we learned from season 1.
What wasn't Dark about Perry accidentally getting his past self killed and then throwing his own body in the void?
I am in the same boat. There are many open plot holes to fill and I hope they get there before the show gets canceled (I don't want another 1899, please!). I wanted this to be Dark in Wyoming but I am not convinced the writers know where this is going, at least based on what they've shown us so far. Dark S2 had many more things clarified for the viewers. The whole alternate Perry universe thing threw me for a loop, not sure I like it but I'll wait until we see more. Now the long wait...
@@vcmulder I have no hopes this will get another season. This season felt like a mess.
@@RichSmithson not sure but this kind of "paradoxy" thing would not happen in Dark
I loved both seasons, it’s one of my favorite series. Great cast, good directors/cinematographers, good music. I just think it was a short season & didn’t connect with Royal’s vision in S1. I’m hoping it’s not just another multiverse series…judging by how Royal started to remember both versions of killing his father, they may not go that route and try to connect all variations which will make it interesting.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Not a multiverse, because, not only Royals started to have memories, but also Wayne, of his encounters with Perry, BEFORE taking the mineral.
I watched a documentary on Mel’s hole in ellensburg wa then for whatever reason the next day i decided to click on this series after passing it up many times not knowing this is about another hole.
Ready for season 3!
I liked S2 more then S1. Biggest gripe with S1 was everyone trying to keep secrets from each other, and it felt like the plot was kinda stalling because the main character didn't want to talk about the void with anyone.
But that's all gone now finally.
Where Amy woke up is a different location meaning there is more than one hole. Also, why did Royal get his memories of Joy from the past but didn't know that Perry was in their past together?
could be they need to be interacting to trigger the memories.
New Perry timeline Royal knows. See the look he gives him
What makes you think it's a different location? I assume it's the same area in the 00s, some rich barren back packers adopt the orphan Amy. Likely we'll find out that they are camping on the land with a younger Royal's permission. This is why Autumn later returns to the ranch in S01E01 and knows to ask for Royal Abbott.
We already knew there was likely many different holes that have come and gone based on Luke's digging and that scene where someone shot a bullet into the ground.
@@Lou_Chandler New Royal too
For the love of God if people don't stop coming on here to give a low review because the show isn't like Yellowstone.
I need to see what direction they are going to take this show. I am deeply engaged in this storyline and if a truly original show with so many places it can go ends up getting cancelled early because people don't like having to think and guess at what could be going on, I am going to lose my mind.
If you want to watch fake cowboy soap operas you can find them other places.
If you'd like to engage your mind and follow the intrigue and unravel the mystery that is time and existence alongside the cool as hell scenery of Wyoming and the great cast this show has then watch this show and recommend it to other people, and leave some good reviews.
We need to reward studios for making thought provoking original shows.
Don't let us slide further into the shallow content dystopia.
couldn't say it better !!
I like this show much more than Yellowstone
Hey you might like Dark if you like OR.
Nah man. Season two was dead. No answers. More questions
IM HERE FOR THIS GREAT SHOW! This is The MIDDLE plot for Whats to come! So many possibilities in Season 3 ! Thank YOU TO THE CAST AND CREW
I like the slow pace and timeline twists
Really good explanation. Ive been racking my brain at times trying to figure out wtf is going on 😂
I am convinced that some big plotholes are there for a reason, to make the ultimate twist huge... That said i hope the writers of this story have allready written it out so far so that amazon prime doesn't have to think twice about renewing the series for a third season. I hope they are not cancelling it after some people demanding too many awnsers to questions that can't be awnserd in a few episodes, like your usual netflix series these days... I really liked this season, more than the first, because the whole main thing in this story wasn't clear in the first one. Now we know that it's about time travel and i'm all in for that!
Thanks for this explanation as always my dude!!!
The past can be changed. It's not a different timeline or him remembering wrong. That's why he started getting hit with memories of when he was a kid all of a sudden. It was the sherrif changine the past.
Why didn't he remember spending weeks with Perry as a young man? We don't know if it's a malleable timeline or if branching.
@DadeMurphie It seems as though the memory change doesn't happen until the person who changed the past comes back through the hole, as Royal didn't have the memory flashes until he took Joy to the hospital. As far as Royal not having memories of his past, I think he very well may have those memories, and we just haven't been explicitly shown yet. But if you notice in the finale, he gives his son a very strange look, as though he's aware that his son went through the hole. The fact of the matter is we have evidence of a single timeline that can be changed, and zero of branched timelines that can't be changed.
@@BlitzinMackGaming I think the show is leaning towards a single changeable timeline but we haven't been given enough to say for sure because they've left it open to interpretation.
I was unsure if his memories were actually changing in that scene with Joy. It seemed like he was imagining her version but rejecting it due to the memory he still held of missing a deer.
Your theory does make some sense and I think might be confirmed if Perry returns to his actual timeline and things are different.
@DadeMurphie I agree with you. I should have been clearer. I should have said we haven't seen anything that tells us for sure, but the little we have seen points toward a single timeline more so than multiple timelines. Personally, I'd love for it to end up being parallel worlds/multiple timelines as that is more fun, if you ask me. Right now, I'm just hoping we even get to see a season 3.
I'm not finishing this show until it's completed. And that's if it doesn't get cancelled. I enjoy this show but it's so frustrating as we barely get any answers. 2 seasons in and it's just "the beginning"
I loved season 1 and I really loved season 2
Yeah season 2 elevated the show to a whole New level, the only thing im scared of is this royal gotta stop autumn plot that was hinten at in the end, I hope there will be more to it, but until now its one of the best shows I have seen
Me 2
I was on the fence with season 1, but season 2 really made me love this show. It's weird and crazy but has the potential to be incredible as a time travel story if they develop the rest of it well enough. They even threw in the bootstrap paradox with Automne's name coming from a loop in time with no real origin.
This is the best show I have seen in a while storyline, characters, and scenery is AMAZING season 3 is definitely coming out!
Also what the hell is the musical score this season.
This was a great season. There is definately some multiverse madness goings on. August forcing the cult aspect seems like a possibility rather than the actual future like how the singing brother KNEW his brother couldn't beat him, right before he does.
GREAT SHOW AMAZING SEASON NEED MORE WHAT A TWIST, TIME IS FLUID
I enjoyed Season 2 but worry that there are so many loose ends and unanswered questions that we won't see things wrap up in a 3rd season. Future seasons aren't confirmed and even if they announce a final 3rd season, there's a lot to address so it may end up like the hasty final season of Game of Thrones or drag on forever with season after season of loose ends like Lost. I hope not.
I can hardly wait to see how the new timeline branch is handled, when Rhett returns and doesn’t kill Trevor. That drastically changes the timeline we’ve been following.
Oops! I meant Perry, not Rhett.
What would happen if we threw the entire series into that hole? When a series doesn't allow us to connect (or bring to fruition) some ideas with the overall plot we have nothing with which to hang our speculations on. We just get more questions with the 2nd season. To be quite frank when there are hundreds of possible common threads we are left with the knowledge we have NO idea what this story is about or is supposed to be about. I can only speculate that as Outer Space conjures the thoughts of the unknown, cold and vastness of space, so too is Outer Range. We know very little of space and likewise we know and/or remember very little of our own past or our journey as a species to arrive here in the present.
I feel like I’m watching a time travel Twin Peaks haha
The most frustrating part about season 2 is that it left us with more questions than answers, and the likelihood is very high that Amazon will leave us all hanging by not renewing the series
it was a bit frustrating, but i am invested.. and i remain optimistic that amazon will drop another season :)
Hope not.
@@johnjenkins9445 exactly as you said. Plus read that Josh really wants to do more. And he said usually movies are his thing and doesn't like playing the same character for so long like a series. But said this show was different.
Be patient
Agreed. This show needs a good fucking payoff in S3.
Outer range is crazy. Nothing makes sense yet but you just have faith that everything will wrap around in a nice bow
I absolutely loved it we need more shows that don’t treat the viewers like idiots
I like the premise of the show but I keep thinking that they don't know what they are doing and just wrote themselves into a hole. This season just felt incomplete, a lot of plot points going to nowhere that are just going to frustrate people. In two seasons they haven't really done or explained a lot just people finding out about the whole jumping into it and coming out in another period. Some things might be on the same timeline others just aren't for some reason it's just a mess. I knew many people that bailed on the first season and after watching this season I feel many will do aswell. This just feels like a network TV show that it's dragging it's feet to reached a point.
Yup, and will likely be cancelled. This will be like Raised by Wolves just a bunch of unanswered mysteries.
The guy singing.I feel regret for those who had to see all that boring stuff.
“LOST, but out West!”
*cues Bonanza theme*
They are all dead and the ranch is purgatory.
One thing I noticed about all the travelers - they all seem to initially go to a time that is clear of their original lifetime. Royal goes 80+ years it not he future, Joy goes 120 years into the past / falling star goes 90 years into he past. Perry goes back to the 80's before he is born. Autumn (Amy) goes back about 15 years before Amy is born.
As for the season... meh. Joy's travel was the most interesting / engaging thing that happened. I'm getting pretty weary of Autumn being a wacko running around all "I know best I know the future" but they don't' give us the audience anything that particularly deepens or furthers the story. We saw crazy cult Autumn flashes in S1. At least Royal is willing to talk to people now. So that's progress. But when they come out with S3 a year or two from now I'm not going to remember all this subtle back and forth. I think that was my biggest issue - there were 2 years between S1 and S2 and if they expect us to remember everything or go back and rewatch it all ... maybe I will just wait til they are all completely finished to binge it all at once.
new fave show excited for whats to come
I don’t know if I think the show is dealing in multiverse but more showing how events can change on the timeline. Like throwing a rock into water and the ripples change the flow.
seems like someone tried to recreate DARK... with hillbillys
It has nothing in common with dark and dark is just a copy of two twilight zone episodes basically
dark was cute.. but complexity for complexity's sake gets old after a while :/
@@finn-thehuman-mertensthats a horrible and idiotic take. Dark is amazing and this is a very similar idea. Dark is not a copy of anything, ya clown🙄
@@johnjenkins9445dark wasn't complex, the complexity was Mainly on associating people to names. Their names were German, most non german speakers would have an issue with that. But the whole story was easier to follow when you knew who was who on each timeline.
How did Perry just get back to that same moment where his life got twisted in the fight 🤔
Because he regretted that. Joy got back to her wife and daughter after comingling with her ancestors.
I absolutely adore this show, a real sleeper hit that I hope more people watch.
We need a season 3 at least to wrap things up,
The show is really great at accelerating the story at a good speed through it's episodes so one season could do it,
Biggest thing is they need to avoid creating too many more questions and focus on answering the many current ones and I can't wait☺️
I think its a fantastic show- you have to live in the questions and hope there will be a satisfactory resolution
I find this series to be more compelling than pretty much anything in the last 5 yrs
Watched both seasons something kept telling me it was going to get evil… but just got more unpredictable instead…. Can’t wait for a new season.
This show reminds me so much of what Lost creator J.J. Abrams said in a TED Talk about "The Mystery Box" - the philosophy behind his writing in Lost and other projects. When there are too many Mystery Boxes though, I start to feel like the plot is making a fool out of me by expecting me to follow so many mysterious elements that often turn out to be red herrings.
I love this show ! It’s great 👍 please please please season 3 to wrap it up ! It was a step in the right direction for sure !
After last episode of season 2 , I looked to my wife but said nothing. Needed a moment to process the last 15 or so minutes. Well, it's next morning and we're still trying to figure this out. Putting the storyline aside for just a moment, I am so enthralled by the acting and how so much emotion is shown by the look on their faces without a word said aloud.
Its definitely a mindbender, and well acted too.
I hope this won't be another "Lost" Series wh a Final Episode requiring an Acid Trip to comprehend.😮
We now on a multiverse!
Loved it
I think some people are good with not getting answers on some shows and are ok with pondering the mysteries. I thoroughly enjoy this as it is quite reflective of life. It also reminds me of The Leftovers. It works in my opinion for this show. Of course there are some shows I don’t think it works for. lost is one of those shows where leaving too much to mystery did nto work and was utterly frustrating. I think it’s also about which components are being left to mystery and which are not.
I loved season 2 !!! Very entertaining and intriguing. I want to see more, I want to know more. More more more!
Halfway through season 2 I was just along for the ride.
I binge watch both seasons. This show was epic
I loved it!
I LOVE season 2!!!! I’ll be anxiously awaiting season 3 😬😩
You said "flash forward" in your explanation, made me think of the Sci Fi series Flash Forward. I wanted to like that and I want to like Outer Range but not totally there. I'm not big into Sci Fi and liked things to be neatly put in it's box, probably the main problem. The show is ok, unfortunately I would probably watch season 3, think I'm committed at this point.
Thought the first 5 episodes were really strong, but then when the climax ramped up in the last two, I found myself more confused than captivated.
this is what I think, I think we have been subtley watching a multiverse the whole time, Ive noticed a few things, starting with the biggest one when Royal finds the sherriff, He keeps switching from having and carrying a hat to not carrying a hat, I need to go back and double check the rest of the episodes, but I think its multiple time lines that are being edited together, and not just with the flashes, visions they want us to see but from shot to shot the show is literally different versions of itself
Woaaah I noticed the hat thing but I just thought it was an error haha this theory is very interesting!
See, now I have to re-watch. Thank you!
This season reminds me of the Netflix show “Dark”
this show is wild, i love it!
this series was first relased in the aftermath of the wildly successful Netflix series “Dark” so I expect it will follow That series moreor less through a convoluted multiversal temporal trek and wind up erasing itself by preventing Royal from killing his father.
All episodes have captured my interest and I look forward to some additional clarity or finality if there's a season 3 ever made.
I'd rather they didn't draw it out with extraneous horse manure for another 6-7 episodes, but if the show makes any money this season, the cash cow could open up the " hole" once more.
Great summary of a great season! My only (minor) complaint is: Kashmir was released in 1975, after Falling Star traveled in 1972, so it can't be her favorite song. Silly I know, but a pointless error. Or was this Kashmir in a different timeline!
I knew someone else would catch that…
The Royal in the new perry timline definitely gotta know perrys secret. But hey , for all we know, this was probably a timeline where the Abbotts WIN
Did you notice in the scene when Autumn writes on the walls with a marker that she grabs Royal’s face and…nothing happens…no time shift…no spinning stars. I love this show but have a feeling the inconsistencies will be like the “black goo” in the Aliens franchise: no logical continuity to the point where the audience just doesn’t care because it feels random.
I wonder if Perry is now in a different reality (where Amy is safe) and if he will collide with the new arrival, Wayne Tillerson. 🤔
"SPOILERS..." River song...
I love this show, it's like Doctor Who Meets Yellowstone. my favorite so far is joy going back in time, then after four years going to rescue Flower armed with her Glock from the 21st century. it was like something out of Star Trek. just started season 2 but so far it's been a banger!!!
I thought the whole Joy story in season was the best part. The rest of it was just Autumn raising hell.
I love mystery shows, but become annoyed when the questions multiply with little to no answers. I had to stop watching this show at S2 E3. After watching Think Story’s review, I made the right choice.
Yes, you ARE talking crazy!
I don’t think it’s a multiverse as much as they’re rewriting/changing time. Joy injecting herself into the timeline just ended up having Royal shoot his dad a different way.
I actually enjoyed season 2 hope season 3 is in the works
I absolutely love this show. I think Josh Brolin's directorial sense is really good. The pacing of the show is excellent and it keeps me engaged by going places I didn't really expect. Biggest questions for season 3 are:
- Where/when did Amy travel to? Obviously the future based off the limited glimpse we get but how far forward?
- Where tf does Wayne go after jumping in??
- Are there now branches of time with different timelines due to Perry's decisions of not killing the Tillerson brother in the parking lot? Where did his dead body end up after he threw "himself" in the hole?
- Will this be a 3 or 4 season affair overall? I ask this question because I believe it's absolutely pertinent for the show to be renewed. 3 Seasons seems like a perfect amount of investment a studio like Amazon wants to put into it's material. I hope that they are able to advance the story to the ultimate scene where Royal confronts the large government presence around the hole they tease in the first episode and second to last episode of this season. That very short scene has kept us all on edge the whole show! I am hoping that since they have that ending in mind, Amazon gives them the go ahead to conclude the story and not leave us all hanging in limbo.
I like the multiverse/multi-dimensional angle. It opens it up to every possible outcome and if one is not satisfied with their life in one they can try another. In fact,
we are probably experiencing that in reality ourselves, only we only access it through dreams and visions. Of course, if the black stuff could transport one to another
dimension then for sure there would be a reason to harvest it, use it, and ultimately make a business out of it. That is the American way, after all.
Another 2 years or more and we might find out a little bit more. yay!
How come Perry Abbott is alive, when he killed his past self? Shouldn't he disappear too, given that all the timelines are merging into one without creating another timelines?
I think and old Royal will eventually go back and tell young Royal the future and he can be ready the second time around.
We have a story, events in a chronological. We have a time hole. Charactures went into the time hole. We don't know what effect their trip in the time hole had on their memory. He do know that Perry killed Trevor. Perry took a trip in the time hole & got out stopped himself from killing Trevor & Perry got himself killed for his good deed. Perry threw his dead body in the time hole. Season 3 could re-tell the same story started in season 1 & see how the charactures trips to the time hole affect the outcome of the story. Or they could continued the story. Patty still knows about the mineral. In terms of memory both Perry & Joy remember. Perry changing events would that be a re-tell or a re shuffle & continue. That's if there will be a season 3. Season 2 only explained Autum. The time hole or river of time is just there, because it hasn't been studied yet.
i actually loved season 2. just because we dont have answers doesnt mean it wasn't good.
Finding the whole thing a waste of hours I could have been playing with my phone.
Autumn is prescribed strong medication for some mental issues…and looks to be bipolar if not schizophrenic. So you may be right in her feeling she’s connected to a higher being.
The people backpacking that find Amy are most likely her "new" parents. And the source of her money. As well as they teach Amy outdoor skills and camping.
I loved it. But season 1 has my heart i watched the whole season in 1 night
Season 2 was great, don’t be in a hurry for this show to end.
I love this series
It was hard to enjoy watching, just spinning it's wheels a lot it seemed.
The whole time I watched I just kept thinking "Why don't I just rewatch Dark"
This feels like Dark but in Wyoming, but instead of scifi mystery, everything just doesnt make any sense 😭 i enjoy the scenery tho i swear to god this show makes me wanna move to Wyoming
Thanks for the video! Yeah the storytelling could be tighter, but I'm still engaged. I'd prefer that there aren't multiverses (1). Most of what we've seen is changes to time -- Joy appearing in the 1800s photograph; and Royal's memories beginning to change in Season 2, as events change in the past. Certainly, Wayne's memories change when Perry appears in the past. Wayne mentions Chronos (or Cronus?) in Season 2. The connection between Amy and Royal seems pivotal, as Royal is hurt when Amy is shot. I believe that their relationship echoes the relationship of the Chronos and his daughter Ananke.
In Greek mythology, Chronos, distinct from the Titan Cronus, is the personification of time. "Chronos played a pivotal role in the creation myth according to the Orphic tradition. Alongside his daughter Ananke, the goddess of inevitability who also appeared as a serpent, he encircled the primordial world egg...The partnership of Chronos and Ananke is a fundamental aspect of the Orphic cosmogony. Together, they represent the inescapable forces of time and fate, underlining the idea that time is intertwined with the inevitability of events."
I also think that the writers may be inspired by the mythology of Cronus. "Cronus was...the king of the Titans, who took for his consort his sister Rhea; she bore by him Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, all of whom he swallowed because his own parents had warned that he would be overthrown by his own child."
I wouldn't be surprised if Wayne Tillerson is related to Royal. The Tillersons are so greedy, jealous, and violent. They act like Titans. The Abbott brothers are violent, too. It all adds up to a strange amalgam of a bunch of Greek myths with tartarus -- the underworld -- at the center.
(1) You can't really kill Titans. Cronus can swallow them, or they can be thrown in tartarus. They never really die.
I watched season 2 thinking there were 8 episodes and was pissed when I realized there were only 7. Dammit guys.
It was an awesome season, but yeah, more questions than answers. Almost nothing was answered. It’s almost turning out to be like an M night Shyamalan movie where it’s just a screw you at the end.
How Amy/Autumn lost her memory getting out of the hole..? All others seems to remember their previous experiences..?
This is the American version of Dark, from Netflix
with Royal and Joy i do believe Royal just missed remembered the details around his father's death. I could imagine for a 9-year-old killing your own father is a traumatic experience so they would make something up to make themself feel better and start believing the lie.
Or Joy going back in the past changed the details of why Royal killed his father.
Season 2 was even better, preparing us for the meaning of the hole in season 3, I suspect.
The lack of any answers this season is a bad sign. There were some cool moments during the season, though. I got the sense that Royal's memory/history reset when he interacted with Joy after she returned from the past. And Wayne connecting to his younger self across time was interesting. But a few cool moments isn't enough. It may already be too late to establish the world and it's rules properly. What a waste.
hmm.. i hope you are proved wrong :)
Feels just like Lost and that we didn't get any answers because the writers have none and have written themselves into a corner knowing they can never actually satisfy us with an answer so they just keep stacking more mysteries hoping we'll forget.
The show gives zero indication of a multiverse. It gives several examples of a single, changeable timeline like Back to the Future :)
