1899 | 33 Unanswered Questions | Netflix

Thank you to u/VeryFancyDoor and u/Western_Camp7920 on Reddit for letting me use their questions for some inspiration! Also here is our first breakdown: krplus.net/bidio/cq2wloV6pJvaaaQ

I just read 1899 was CANCELLED and I am FURIOUS!!! 😡 Hoping another channel picks it up. 🙏

I find it interesting that Eyk is an anagram for key, and Daniel an anagram for denial

Daniel has his own room since the trapdoor under his bed leads to his memories. So I think Daniel was initially part of the ship simulation, but snapped out of it somewhere along the way

I definitely think we could be looking at a past, present, and future type of storyline too, with each side of the triangle representing the past, present, and future. This would mean Maura was in the past in 1899, is now in the future in 2099, and I think it will be revealed that the actual time of this show is 1999, which would explain why Ciaran communicates with her through an older computer.

I think they went into the simulation fully aware of what it was, not necessarily how to play it, but they knew what they were getting into. When Maura woke up, she just seemed ready, prepared. I don't think a person from 1800 would have such a natural response to being in SPACE, she hadn't even reacted to it.

Something in episode 7 really bothers me. Henry is watching the monitors and says that everyone keeps dying because they make the same decisions based on emotions and that makes them weak. But how can they be expected to learn anything and improve if their memories are wiped between every simulation round?

For question 6, Krester (if that's even his real name) doesn't have a scar in the spaceship, so the passenger's backstories being real is pretty unlikely

Came here from David Lightbringer's recommendation. I'm super sad that Netflix cancelled 1899, but this channel's doing a great job at filling the void that not getting a season 2 has caused

Another cool fact - I was blown away when I looked up when the Flashlight was invented - 1899!

4:10 I think the “sink ship” message can be interpreted as _sync_ ship, because they asked for the Kerberos to be uploaded to the archive

1899 had the technology to create a mostly safe scenario in the middle of nowhere like the ship but not the communication technology of today, so you only need to simulate a limited area that nobody would question why they can't leave it nor would you have to fake the receivers of calls. The spaceship basically has the same conditions.

When everyone stirs tea at same time in the dining hall that seemed to imply a heavy NPC count.

That Frans character really looks like McGregor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To the real era being 60s to 80s: The songs that play at the end of each episode come from mostly the 70s. The Kerberos software was developed in the early 80s.

Ciaran can also be not an actual human, but an AI that controls the ship and the simulation. Just like in all those other sci-fi movies, where passengers and crew travel to the new destination and go to sleep for several years. Someone has to control the ship. After all he contacts Maura through a computer screen, not directly in person.

Question 34- If the year is really 2099, then why does Kieran message Maura on a really old-looking computer monitor?

Great video! A lot to think about before season 2.
About question 12 & 19. I think it's implied Daniel wasn't tricked into the simulation like everyone else and is sneaking in to wake up his wife. That's why he says "you're all trapped here" without including himself in it. He also seems to have information about what's been going on in their reality after Maura and her father were locked in the simulation, information he can only have if he was present in that reality:
"You're trapped here. You all are. This isn't real. This is a simulation. You forgot what's real. But you have to remember. You have to wake up. Or there will be nothing left to wake up for, and your consciousness will be trapped in here forever." Episode 7
"Your brother, he took over the whole program whilst you were in here. He's been controlling everything. And I've tried so hard to get you out of here, multiple times. Your father is just as stuck here as everyone else. I don't know how fast your brother is gonna figure out what I've done. But you have to leave now. This is so much bigger than you think. You have to wake up. You have to stop him, or everything will be lost." Episode 8
About question 13. I think Daniel we see several things indicating he didn't wanted to start a mutiny. Daniel kept repeating it was a bad idea to turn around, that there was going to be a mutiny. And he seems sincerely not happy to see it happened. If he needed this to stop Eyk from turning back, for example, why kill Ada before Eyk made that decision? And why use his device to return the boat to its starting point? If he could do this on his own, no need for mutiny. I think Daniel didn't want to draw the attention of whoever's leading the simulation. However, using the Prometheus to infiltrate aboard triggered a chain of events that drew attention to a problem in the simulation (which is why people start committing suicide in episode 5 when the simulation was far from over). I think he killed Ada because the girl was a computer program that spotted his hacking (symbolized by the bug).
About question 20. For me it's clearly a simulation because:
- we see the triangle in Maura's eyes;
- her brother seems mocking her by leaving the note about the coffee and welcoming her to "reality" and Maura seems pissed;
- the key to wake up was carefully hidden by Maura and could be any object. Daniel, Elliot, Henry and Sebastian searched for this item for a long time. And they want us to believe the key was around Maura's neck in the literal form of a key? And that it was in the letter from her brother, received when she woke up at the start of the simulation? It's obviously a fake key placed there to lure Maura should she ever become aware of being in a simulation and would prevent her from looking further. Hence the ironic message from her brother when she wakes up which makes her understand she is not in reality. On the other hand, I think it is possible this simulation is inspired by their real reality, which could be a good introduction to it. Plus, it would make an interesting triangle between the seasons:
- Season 1 is an illusion of reality;
- Season 2 is a reflection of reality;
- Season 3 is reality.

The note left on the console is the give away. The message about coffee and reality kicking in features in the simulation which suggests she's still in it.

I suppose the fact that they met the previous ship is already a bug. And they were not supposed to meet it.

For a big theory you should consider:
Mauras Mother had 2 kids and lost a part of herself to them. Is Maura the mother?
Why are there so many characters with scars.
Dont forget Platos cave. And the question, how many layers there are.
If you shine light trough a prism (its not a pyramid its a tetraeder) you get the spectral colors. What happens if you shine your soul through a prism? Maybe the different aspects of yourself come to sight. So if all the characters are just different aspects of 1 person, what do they all have in common? Many of them have scars, they all have lost someone in the past, maybe they are responsible for the loss. There are different mother roles under the characters.

This series is to die for !!!
I thought I understood everything in the series and now I overthink my whole existence. There are so many unanswered questions. At first I thought this was all so genius and connected but now I get I was blind by the greatness of this series. I just hope we'll get our answers next season. God bless you:)

An answer to question 13 ( Why did Daniel kill Ada?) I think it was to try and remind Maura about the loss of Elliot. I think that the previous cycles Daniel has failed in the ways to make her remember.

When did they say that there was never any passengers on the Promethius? My impression was that it was just a previous iteration of the simulation just like the other ships in the "storage" area. I must have missed something?

I know what the triangle represents. It’s an allusion to Nietzsche’s idea of Eternal Recurrence. You can even see it on some versions of the Ouroboros.

She (the main character)doesn’t remember her memories and the pictures because she never lived them. She lived in that place. But not those memories in the pics. And I bet her “husband” is her brother. And her real husband must be the captain, that’s why they keep having this chemistry 👀 just a crazy idea.

Regarding the green beetle... It reminded me of an Egyptian scarab amulet because of how much it looked like a jewel. The scarab was used as a symbol in ancient Egypt, and considering all the pyramid references, it seemed logical to me that it tied back into Egyptian lore.

The black matter (ie. on Olek) looks exactly like the stuff on Michael and later Martha in Dark in the forest.

Key point re: Connor Macgregor, I rewatched with a focus on his behavior. He is the one who encourages the passengers to blame the boy and hunt him down.

The Connor McGregor reference had me dying for a minute 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really hope your questions somehow make it to the writers and creators bc your questions are excellent and we all would like to know. Thank you for taking the time for making this. And of course I love both topics, if you have the time do them both, plz.

I don't think the backstories are real because other people can visit the "memories" independent of the person they belong to. Like when Maura enters the captain's house and his wife is there, glitching. And in the end when the simulation starts breaking down, everyone ends up in random memories. I think the black stuff could be just part of the deletion process before reset.
And I have a theory that the purpose of the whole simulation could be to help Maura, who really is her mother, regain her memory and somehow "repair" her brain. Daniel and Elliot are some sort of program of course, even though Daniel could be a younger version of the father who really is her husband (entering both Dark and Alabama territory here) that has somehow become sentient and is now working against the "creator".

Because the loop always resets, there’s a chance that Eyk found his daughters headband on the Prometheus before his demise. When Eyk was reset on the Kerberos, he wasn’t meant to see the Prometheus - Daniel hacked the sim and lured them there. So Eyk finding the headband might just be an Easter egg that his dream was “real” (ie. The door beneath his bed held the dream world - they exist in the same dimension)
And since the Prometheus was an exact copy of the Kerberos- Prometheus Eyk could have taken Nina’s headband with him out of the “dream” and Kerberos Eyk found it by chance.

I found it very suspicious that the sender of Maura's letter was "Your Brother".
I would have expected that as close as Maura claimed she and her brother were, he would have used a more familial term to address himself in the letter instead of using the extremely vague "Your Brother".
Also did anyone notice Maura's strange reaction to Eyk on the spaceship. It almost as if she was scared of him or extremely shocked/surprised to see him.

The "wake up" reminds me a lot of hypnosis. Maybe this is all just a weird hypnosis experiment in the 1970s?

Some questions I have are; why did Sebastian and Daniel look panicked when they saw Maura's copy of The Awakening, More back story on Maura's mom and the work Henry did to understand her memory loss- could this lead us to the "bigger" outcome Daniel alludes to, why does Maura put on a hospital gown when she gets out of bed in Daniel's memory-did she get pregnant while a patient, why does Clemence appear to have a beetle on the collar of her dress, is it possible all the passengers are patients in the mental hospital, why did Krester, a seemingly major character go overboard????

I have a theory about Maura and Eyk being end game. #1: I have a bad feeling that Daniel is dead. He appears ghostly like Elliot and he always tells Maura things like "*you* need to wake up" and "*you* could get trapped in here forever," etc. instead of "we." He never talks about THEM escaping together. When she asks if he'll be there when she wakes, he tearfully says, "Always," which could mean he'll be with her in spirit. But he's not there at the end. He could be back on Earth or another part of the spaceship, but it's really suspicious that he's not there with her like he said he would be. It feels like his purpose is to get Maura to wake up, and he may be just a simulation of his former living self, like Elliot probably is. He might be a fail-safe AI that they built into the simulation in case she got trapped.
#2: Maura and Eyk had a deep connection from the start, trusting and confiding in each other to an extent that didn't make sense at first, since they had seemingly just met. Maura says Eyk "lost everything" because his entire family died and feels deep empathy for him. She says she also "lost everything," maybe referring to her memories, but in reality she might have also lost her family. It would explain why they are instinctively drawn together and understand each other so well. If she realizes this is the reality, they'll likely bond even deeper over their mutual grief (IF his family really did die in reality) and ultimately end up together. I hope so, because otherwise if her family is dead and she doesn't get something good out of this story, there will be nothing to lift the depressing mood. They do seem to be developing feelings- even just the brief hand holding was electric, and they both looked teary when they saw each other again in the ship archive at the end of ep 7. The show seemed to be pushing them together and it seemed like Daniel was probably Maura's brother for most of the season. I would rather Daniel be alive at this point, but I'll take any positive thing I can get out of this sadness.

I checked out the coordinates of the spaceship (

The serie 1899 is a strange mix between The Matrix (1999) and Inception (2010). I hope we will see a second season.

Eliott is the only charcater who seems unaffected by the chaos in the opening title. Might be because he's actually dead, or because he's not really part of the simulation. What if, contrary to what we are led to believe, he's the only one who's still alive outside of it?

Question 15: at some point when Daniel talks to Elliot, one of them says “we’ve never made it this far before” and they also talked about how she never remembers so I’m assuming it’s just that she gets reset after the 8 days…so far

My theory: Maura is Nina, Eyk's daughter. Which means that Eyk is a real Henry Sinclair, and Henry in simulation is a program (AI?). Eyk's story, his wife's mental problems and the way they manifest (she seems to be disoriented, like she's not sure where she is), which parallels Maura's mother's story. Eyk had three daughters in simulation. But he only focuses on Nina for some reason. I think Nina is Maura's projection in simulation. Maura said her father blamed children for his wife's illness. She doesn't say he blamed her and Cieran. And the way Sinclair in simulation dodges the question about whereabouts of Maura's brother, Cieran is probably an AI, created by Henry Sinclair - his child you can say. Obviously, we see Eyk's body on spaceship, and he doesn't look old... But how long have he been in cryosleep? Maura is a Creator (of simulation) so she probably had to supervise a big portion of it outside of it, but then joined her father and other passengers after it seemed to work well, or maybe she simply wanted to be with her son there, Elliott. But then her "brother" Cieran went rogue and started changing simulation? Making it more twisted and cruel...

This is not part of a speculation, but I'm really curious about this detail:
The French characters' speech (choice of words, pacing, pronunciation) sounds very modern and out of place in the late 19th century. It put me off until I finally understood it was most certainly intentional. I was wondering if it's also noticeable with the other languages.

Triangles everywhere - three ships - three levels of simulation. Maybe?!

One more question: whose is the extra empty pod on the spaceship? The one which is next to the porthole.

I do wonder what that old Maura portrait under Daniels bed was about. Why wasn’t it a modern day photo? All the other stuff he had were modern day items

I read a very interesting post on subreddit. Just like Eyk is anagram of Key. Jerome states
J - Jerome
E - Elliote
O - Olek
R - Ramiro
M - Maura
E - Eyk
Yes you got it right, all the people who went to Prometheus the first time. It's way to accurate to just be a coincidence. Considering we also don't know how Jerome got into the ship. Also why did Eyk take Olek and Jerome with him to the ship?

Wow! Really great minds on here! Welcoming feedback on my first impressions that I didn't see anyone talk about: I get the feeling that the cheerful playroom might be part of the original simulation that Maura created to escape the trauma of losing her husband and child. Early on and repeatedly the topic of how the brain works is brought up. Additionally Daniel saying if she doesn't find her way out, all will be lost - possibly implying that without her addressing the trauma, the way the brain is wired in response to it has continued digging her deeper into darker territory. The contrast of the bright, cheerful room/dark, earie ship is akin to how the repeated trauma of the simulations and her refusal to accept reality is effecting her reasoning and outcome. Thoughts?

Can be a lot of simulation sets numbered as xx99. So 1899, 1999, 2099

I believe the third ship will be part of the 1899 / 2099 sequence, possibly 1999 with the launch and gathering of the passengers

One of my favourite characters was Daniel.
And after the last episode because my gut is telling me that he is dead in real life. And Maura isn't free, but simply in another simulation having to figure a way out to the next level. 1899 -> reason 2 would be 2099.
Something happened from when she put their son's conscious in the simulation where the son would never grow older to daniel somehow dying in real life and being put in the simulation is the only answer I could come up with. Maybe he died from her trying to put them all in the simulation, i don't know.
Daniel and eliott are not apart of the simulation and are not affected by anything, and they have been trying to get maura out. The whole focus is to get maura out. And when he says he will always be with her at the end... I do not think he meant literally, but like in her memories.
That is why when she used the key, daniel did not come back with her. Daniel was not in the spaceship like everyone else.
The whole theme about code taking a physical form. are eliott and daniel simply code?
How did he know that her brother took over? How was this so much bigger? What does Maura need to stop and why was her memory erased? Why did her father want to keep her trapped in the endless loop and escape himself.
because the entire series was about her father trying to get the key to get out trapping maura in there forever, and daniel and elliot trying to get maura out. Whatever Maura did, her father wanted her to be stuck on that endless loop. However, daniel and eliott aren't apart of that loop because daniel is hiding the entire time and don't want "someone" to know that they are on the ship. It is only when time is frozen by eliott - are they discovered. Which I found to be more interesting. what are those devices they are using to turn people on and off and change the code.
ALso, it seemed like each passenger has a dark past and are reliving the nightmare over and over - cruel.
Ugh I have sooo many questions and I need a season 2.

I thought Daniel sent the letters to ensure that the the Kerberos would investigate the Prometheus. If Maura was addressed as Henri in the letter why was she adressed as sister on the computer message? If both letter and message were sent by the same person I believe "Henri" would have been used in both cases.

They all were passengers on Prometheus before they were passengers on Kerberos. Didn't you catch all the hints, like the part when they put Elliot in the cabinet? They were all on Prometheus.

Wow. They did it again! Amazing show, so many questions and mind bending theories.

#1 I think the third ship is always the next one in the simulation. So for the next sim, they would've been on third ship, kerberos missing and Prometheus at port for the next cycle
#10 the growing black stuff on the ship is the virus Daniel uploaded. Like how it infected the lady when she touched it, its why he told the group not to
* on the computer, ciarans name is at the top almost like the programs name maybe.
#19 I don't think All of Daniels memories are real
#21 Daniel hacked into the sim to stop the ticking and mass jump
#33 the bug is literally that. A bug in a computer program to get behind doors

I appreciate the effort you took in creating these questions. Refreshing. I have no answers but it was an amazing ride with stunning acting

Hey! I have an intresting theory. What if, She really couldn't have a child, so she made a simulation, to have a child there? And what if Elliot is first naturally(??) raised AI from the kid to his age. Similar concept was shown in Anime Sword Art Online: Alicization. This would make him much more important than just a kid of Maura.

Maura having plans in place that she hid from everyone (including herself) feels pretty right for this show. Her mind is being tampered with and not secure.
I think the spaceship is a simulation based on the visuals and the layered allegory exposition. However I'd be pretty interested to find out it was a bluff and have the characters make some terrible decisions based on that false assumption.
They have presented us with some unresolvable existential issues. If you know you can never trust your senses or your memory, it's fairly hopeless to believe you can have certainty about anything. Descartes' answer to this (Great Deceiver) concept was faith in an omnibenevolent creator of the universe. That answer always felt pretty lackluster to me.

There actually is a big hint, that Maura is living somewhere around 1980 or 90.
In the first episode, she is sitting in front if the mirror calming herself, when she said : "My name is Maura. The year us 19.., no 1899."
I think she is far more aware of what is going on, than the first season lets us believe.

Someone pointed out that the spaceship has actually space for well over 5 thousand passengers. And though with ships you may be able to afford some empty cabins usually with spaceships every single kilogram of weight is carefully considered, thus the passenger count may actually refer to the prometheus in the simulation, not rhe spaceship. This is also supported by the fact the Kerberos housed just over 1,600 people, according to Eyk. Not over 1,900 as the Prometheus supposedly does both in and out of the 1899 simulation. Additionally it just doesn’t make alot of sense to have every one of these super old fashioned looking terminals display the passenger count. So I do think there were NPCs on the Kerberos, it‘d also be a big coincidence that nearly all of the surviving characters are in the same pod in the spaceship, if all of the passengers were real.. as to No10, wasn’t it pointed out the simulation got corrupted due to the alterations Daniel made? And that the black matter is just a computer virus, the manifestation of said corruption?

if the 1899 world is fully simulated, why there are physical walls like in the Truman show ?

1. The names seem to play a big role in the series.
Why does Ciaran address Maura as Henry? She says it's because of her middle name and similarities with the father, but I think that she is in fact Henry (somehow). Likely that he is some part of her maybe.
Daniel is also a name of the jewish prophet that could read dreams, and we see how Daniel here travels through the stories of others. Daniel was thrown into pit with lions by an emperor, but manages to survive, and I think this is similar to how Daniel in the series gets inside the simulation.
2. Triangles are not just symbolic here, but everything is in some form a triangle. Even romantic relationships in this story involve it (Lucien - Clemence - Jerome), (Eyk - Maura - Daniel), (Krester - Angel - Ramiro) and maybe more later. It seems to be weird that so much in the story revolves around it, so maybe some characters are not real or have multiple personas, which is why Henry talks about not being able to let go of emotions and thinking rationally.
3. The connection with IT is also there for a reason, with Kerberos being a term for a gateway. What if all of the characters are in fact dead or dying (a lot is hinted at that) and the simulation is meant to keep them alive in some form, or transgress them to UI (uploaded intelligence) so they can live forever. Or that the characters are actually AI from the beginning and they are meant to become humane (which Henry opposes) through those simulations.
4. We will most likely spend all of the series within simulations, not knowing what is true, and maybe there is nothing else besides those simulations even.

I would imagine the triangle is representing 3 equal sides, much like DARK , of measures of time. Each side is 100 years, 1899, 1999, 2099 where each is a time line or simulation spaced out between that amount of time. Also there are theories in our real reality that state that the pyramids in Egypt and around the world are actually “consciousness transfer devices” where you would “transfer” your soul or consciousness to the next existence and collective consciousness. If you marry that with the computer/tech aspect it’s the same thing “upload your consciousness “ to the computer/ cloud. And much like many religious beliefs you have to keep “reincarnating” or “restarting the sim” over and over until you learn the proper lessons and break the cycle in order to ascend to the next plain of existence.

I found it notable that Sebastian, Henry and Daniel were not in the same simulation room as all the other characters. I could imagine though that they access the simulation from a centrally placed meta-hub, or a secret spot, where Ciran can't access them easily.
But it sounded very much like Henry didn't have all the information either. He just wanted to get out of the simulation, or end it, because it's bugged...
So, here is my question: Where are those three?

The room numbers I think are just a reference to room 101 where the authorities make you question reality

Am I the only one who wonders why does the 1899 simulation has so much cables and computers like its a physical simulation/holoviewer?…which somehow affect the simulation code of a mind base simulation. Also why are the screens for 1899 and 2099 so 1980s-90s ?

Just found this channel 👍
Subbed! Excellent video ❤

There quite a few allusions to the German two-part mini series World on a Wire (1973) in both this show and Dark. I highly recommend watching it; it won't give you many, if any, answers about the plot, but you may get a better understanding about what the writers are going for here.

If your 1899 videos continue to be as good as your Dark videos, this will be a great time to follow your channel.

8) It’s like the famous visual metaphor of the iceberg where there is much more under the surface. But it’s upside down because the story takes place in the depths of the unconscious, which is bigger than the conscious part

Thank you for this video!

From my perspective this series is yet to grow on audience, and I consider this as 3 part, where we have just observed the first part, two to go.
If we only see Dark season 1, we won't understand what is yet to unfold.
There are content which makes complete sense when they are finished in its entirety.
Like Lord of the rinds - Fellowship then we need other two to complete it.
Barman Begins followed by Dark Knight and Rises.
Star Wars episode 4 followed by Empire and Return of Jedi.
So point is we need to be patience to understand this series.
I did enjoyed 1899 and the twist at the end excites me even more.

Elliott could be an AI version of the child Maura miscarried. Maybe that is the trauma she couldn't get over so she created a child who would age over time and that is the reason for all the Sims. From a reality standpoint, BBO and JF would have to account for the obvious aging of the actor playing Elliott over the course of the many years this show will unfold over. How else could they deal with this. Same could be true of Ada. Maybe Tove's original flashback of chasing Ada through the Forrest is the true memory and the one in the Kerberos is a false memory. The family couldn't deal with her death so had an AI made of her.

Question #17. Between the talk about the brain, consciousness, memory, choice, behavior, simulation, and reality plus the computer imagery leading up to the final reveal in the spaceship, I also got heavy suspicions that this would be leading us to an AI kind of storyline.

7:30 hahaha I was literally thinking the same as I watched it

In 1st episode , around 10:50, all of them drinking the tea at the same time

However if you put your son's consciousness into a simulation, why would you then make yourself forget it (as Daniel says)

I just realized that 33 turned in on eachother as a mirror image is basically the infinity symbol. Its the symbol on the board in the classroom when Magnus walks in on Fransizka. Dark... the series that keeps on giving.

green metallic beetle is a rose chafer (or could be noble one) - cetonia aurata, both have characteristic triangle on its backs (scutellum)

I hit “like” because of question 24. Legit didn’t even think abt it.

4:01 About that , I think the answer it was in show itself , maybe i am wrong but the black matter was the virus in the simulation which was created.

In the movie Triangle they enter a ship and there is a loop. But there, when a loop starts over, the people from the previous loop remain and interact with themselves from the next loop.

why does the sim need to loop? If the sim was designed to entertain the space travelers during their arduous interstellar journey, why can't they just be allowed to reach NY and live out the fun New World scenario? If the sim is Maura's personal project, why are all these random people in there instead of just her family? What's the significance of the book "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin? it was showed 2 or 3 times and and I don't think it's just because of the name and the fact that it was released in 1899 (its female protagonist is married with kids but is not happy with the prescribed gender role, falls in love with a guy and ends up drowning herself because she is sick and tired of conforming) Also, Ben Frost released the original music for the show on his ethermachines channel, and the artwork for every track says "1899. Sim 1", so it's officially official.

I like the theory at 6:50 - reminds me of the Black Mirror episode where the evil dude takes peoples DNA and uploads them to the cloud game where he can mess them around for eternity sort of thing (if you like 1899 - highly recommend you watch the show)

This was great! The Egyptians saw the Egyptian scarab (Scarabaeus sacer) as a symbol of renewal and rebirth 🪲

Only 33?

That's a lot of really good questions. I hope there is a season 2.
Here's my question. How is it that out of all the videos I've watched where they do breakdowns of it and talk about the ending, never once has the words The matrix come up. Nobody saw that?

I guess we will never know because they are not doing the second season

33. I see what you did there 😁

one thing that i notice about this series is that it is very similar to video games like Until Dawn, and the Dark Anthology games. Firstly, we are introduced to a lot of main characters. and sometimes when these “main characters” make a decision like picking up a vial or a gun or opening a door to something you hear a sharp tone in the background. almost like these characters just made a decision that would heavily impact the future. lastly, there’s Henry who seems to be the narrator/curator looking over these stories unfolding, judging them for their decisions. idk, it’s just giving that vibe to me.

Why does Eyk have that symmetrical white patch in his beard? And is it connected with the white substance in the syringe that awakens memories? Is Eyk actually Maura's husband. Is Daniel Ciaran?
Anyone notice the parrellel between 8 days for each simulation and the 8 remaining characters at the end? Henry not getting what he was expecting is reminiscent when Adam didn't get what he wanted either in Dark.
Why did Daniel use the word "whilst" when talking to Maura in the underground room? That seemed unusual. There was something off about Ada. How did she know about the crew finding the Prometheus so quickly?
Why did her doll have no face? Why was she leading Tove in that memory, and why was Tove looking back over her shoulder while tryng to follow her?
Is there a connection between Eyk and Ada?
Eyk, his wife and the two older daughters have dark hair while the youngest was blonde. Just like Ada. Is Ada actually Eyk's daughter? Hmmmmmm... 🤔

My expectations are already challenged to the max! Also why did the main protagonists not feel the urge to jump off the ship?

Also, when the mutiny starts, Elliot manages hide in the room compartment. Who closes it and puts the bed back to its place??

Notice that the spaceship has a DOS type operating system. That could be a hint that the events of 2099 is a simulation built in the 1980s or 90s

Regarding question 10: I believe it is stated to be a computer virus, slowly eating through the simulation until it becomes so unstable it has to be deleted from the archives. Not sure if its Daniels work to cover his tracks (which would explain why Henry cant do anything about his actions), but it would definitely explain why touching it is a very bad idea.

Is it possible that all the characters with letters are past or future lives of Maura's soul and the letters are from Maura?

I'm worried that daniel is actually dead like elliot. There seems to be hints to that in the show.

Question 24 answer: could be Ciaran the second on board, the 'connor mcgregor'? We see he has red hair as Maura and he seems Irish or Scottish and he also knows everything is a simulation. Who knows?

Question 2: The simulation has proven to have actual rooms that depict one of the passenger's most traumatic memories. I have no doubt half the idea is that the simulation is meant to break people or make them question all emotional bonds they have. Having something be where it shouldn't be is a great way to hint that maybe it wasn't real to begin with. Break those emotional attachments.
Question 4: I think Henry isn't real, but an ai which is supposed to watch over everyone. Mora made it look like her father because in her mind, that's the kinda person which would look over such simulations. But at some point he lost this fact and has no idea that he can't exist outside of the simulation.
Question 6: .. I don't think that specific backstory is real? But i think it's a reflection of a guilt/trauma they actually feel. Like, they couldn't shake the feeling, so had to make a whole new set of memories that had the same traumatic feeling, otherwise, the people might have kept breaking the simulation after realizing something was wrong/missing?
Question 15: Yeah I want to see what other loops were like too. I get the vibe that reguardless the ship gets lost, the ship gets in a fog, the ship then gets destroyed in a storm and sunk. The promethius had water damage Everywhere on the inside. That means the ship was sunk under the water before the simulation ended. So... did past versions sink their own ship? Maybe everyone got so caught up on petty squabbles that they somehow lead the ship to sink? the only reason everyone got so far in this one was the constant urgency forcing people to put their personal differences aside? Stuff to think about.
Question 17: I think the child was always a program. That's why Mora feels No emotional attachment to seeing pictures of him. I think her insistence she can't have children, and had one die at stillbirth is true. But she wanted that so badly, she made a simulation of him. That's why he has such a poor range of emotion (side note - good acting on the kid. That can't be easy to be so consistently deadpan).
Question 19: I don't think Daniel is a person either. Mora made Daniel as an assistant AI, pre-programed to be loyal to her....... to a fault. To the point he thinks he loves her and wants nothing more than to feel those feelings back. But as I said before, she looks at those 'fond photos' and feels no emotional attachment, where something should be coming back.
Question 20: I would love it if somehow the ship controls were all integrated into the simulation, so one ship needs to be controlled to control the other ship, otherwise this will be one hell of a shipshow and we'd all be ship out of luck. (lol)
Question 28: I Really hope it isn't all in Maura's plan and when she gets all her memories back, it's like a personality switch flips in her head and she becomes someone sociopath enough to torment people like this.... It'd be a massive disappointment. I disliked it gravely in Deathnote and i'd dislike it greatly if it was done here too.
Question 33: ..... They beat us over and over the head with life/death analogies from mythology over and over again. The beetle is just an Egyptian one: Khepri is a beetle god found in the underworld that re-awakens the dead soul of Ra as well as the sun every dawn. (in Egyptian mythology, Ra and the sun literally die every sunset.)

My guess is that the Prometheus spaceship is another layer of the simulation, and it takes place in 1999.
