I found it slow and simply rather uninteresting. I just couldn't engage with any of the characters.

I could not get into Andor despite really wanting to.

I first heard it in the Netflix show DARK. That show introduced me to so many amazing songs.

I'm standing on a stage Of fear and self-doubt It's a hollow play But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage We take what we are given Just because you've forgotten Doesn't mean you're forgiven

• Peter Gabriel: My Body Is A Cage

That takes me back a bit!

The phrase I learned was "except after 'c' but only if the sound is 'ee'". Mostly also works.

Could it be a niddy noddy?

Go watch DARK. Do not pass go. Turn off your phone. Watch it in the original German with subtitles. Focus and take lots of notes re who is related to who. Consider buying a whiteboard for Seasons 2 and 3. Remember that every single scene, every line of dialogue, is vital to the plot.

Thank you! I've been trying to spot potential plot errors (obvs. only potential!) and may have spotted three, two of them in S1E1 and one in S3E3.

Firstly, who is transiting the tunnel when the kids are outside the cave? It can't be the Jonas who takes Mikkel through to 1986 because it would take him too long to get from the door to the tunnel mouth. The only other candidates are Helge and Noah, but what would they be doing there at that time?

Secondly, although the kids' flashlights glitch, the lights in the school do not. This seems the only time where a traveller transiting the tunnel doesn't cause a widespread power outage.

Turning to S3E3, when Martha takes Stranger Jonas to the woods to show him her time machine and give him her alleged final phial of caesium. Why, oh why, doesn't Jonas just use her machine to transport everyone back to 2019? Why bother using the caesium to create a steampunk time machine when Jonas has a fully functional one in front of him?

I'm also fascinated by what happened when Alternate Egon travelled to rescue Hamnah as she's having her miscarriage during the apocalypse in Eva's world. We know Hannah has to givr birth to Egon's child (Silja) but surely she's not going to get into a relationship with a retired Egon! Perhaps he takes her to meet his younger self in the '50s - after getting her medical care - but it seems rather unlikely that Hannah would go along with Eva's plan.

All of the above are mere minor questions in what was an amazing show. I've been reliving it vicariously through YouTube reactions and have just finished watching 'The Chill Finn' aka Tiia complete the show. She thought it was the best thing she's ever seen, and her analysis and commentary were excellent. Now I need to find another YouTuber I've not watched yet, and they are fairly few and far between.

Thanks!

Oh, I enjoyed visiting HMS Alliance but would love a look around an SSN or even a Type VII U-boat.

Sadly, I'm in the UK. The best we've got near me is a WWII A-class boat at Gosport.
