Spoiler Warning: 1899 Season One
The Netflix collection 1899 is nothing wanting a mind-bender, dropped at us by the creators of Dark, Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar. The thriller thriller is about on a ship referred to as Kerberos, destined for America, and follows a number of passengers as their varied secrets and techniques turn out to be uncovered. While they hope to shed themselves of their previous and begin over in New York, issues on the ship will not be as they appear.
Upon discovering the Prometheus, a ship that had been misplaced at sea, they search it for survivors and discover a younger boy on board. But he’s not the one newcomer on the Kerberos, and the arrival of the 2 creates a disturbance on the ship. Not solely are the passengers haunted by their pasts and start to have their identities, secrets and techniques, and ulterior motives revealed, however the principle character Maura discovers that the world they know just isn’t actual.
To add one other layer to the chaos, the finale reveals that they’re as an alternative on a spaceship trapped in a simulation referred to as Project Prometheus. If you had been confused by the twists and turns of season 1, don’t be concerned, you are not alone. Viewers have taken to the web to pose their questions and theories, however sadly, we’re left with extra questions than solutions. Here we want to discover the principle questions that can hopefully be absolutely defined when the present is renewed for a second season.
Who Are the Passengers of Project Prometheus?
As talked about beforehand, we uncover the passengers of the Kerberos had been, in actual fact, not at sea however somewhat in a simulation. Maura is the creator, however evidently her brother Ciaran has taken over the challenge and is now in management. We see within the season finale that the opposite passengers are additionally trapped in simulation pods. But who’re these individuals, and the way did they turn out to be trapped within the simulation? Are in addition they simply passengers aboard the spaceship, or maybe crew members? Did they enter the simulation willingly earlier than Ciaran took management? Are they voluntary contributors within the challenge, or have they been coerced and entrapped in opposition to their will? Are they criminals being punished on this infinite nightmare simulation?
And after all, we additionally need to know the simulation’s goal, and determining who the passengers are and the way and why they got here to be there’ll give us perception into the which means of the simulation. This is by far one of many greatest questions of the collection that we hope to see absolutely defined in season 2.
What is the Cause of the Virus?
As the simulation begins to close down, a virus spreads all through the ship. Daniel is aware of that it’s harmful and avoids touching it. But Virginia just isn’t so fortunate and touches the virus. It slowly begins to devour her and eventually claims her by the point the simulation is destroyed. What it will imply for her, we do not but know. Will she be revived within the subsequent cycle? Will it have modified her by some means, or maybe the virus has rendered her brain-dead?
The explanation for the virus can also be a thriller, possibly brought on by Daniel’s interference within the simulation. He has tried to rewrite the code and put an finish to the simulation for a while now and probably created it by mistake. Or possibly it’s Ciaran’s doing, his try and eliminate Daniel and Elliot and stop them from waking up Maura. Regardless, we really feel that the virus could have an enduring impact and will probably be again in season 2.
Why Did Ciaran Take Over Maura’s Simulation?
Initially, we consider that Maura’s father, Henry, is in charge of the simulation and that he had trapped her in there to carry out some form of experiment on her and the others by replaying the simulation on a loop. But we later discover out that this isn’t the case and that Maura was the creator of the simulation and that she had created it for her son Elliot who was dying. It would protect his consciousness and permit him to dwell in a world along with his mom and father eternally, however as this is not the case, it might appear that one thing went unsuitable.
However, it isn’t Henry who has taken over the simulation as we initially consider; he’s additionally trapped within the simulation. Instead, Maura’s brother Ciaran has taken management of the challenge, however we do not know why he has achieved this, we do not know. Daniel and Elliot are lastly capable of wake Maura, and though we’ve not been launched to her brother but, he sends her a message welcoming her to the 12 months 2099.
Finding out why he has taken over the challenge and what he intends to do will probably be a pivotal plot line in season 2.
