It was a little surprising that the main character, a physics professor, did not realize in the first episode that he had fallen into a parallel reality. At the end of the series, upcoming events were shown and a lot of interesting things are waiting for us. I'm waiting for the beautiful Jennifer to reveal Daniela in different worlds.
I think that even a physics professor, especially a theorist, will not immediately think about such an outcome, but to begin with it is quite logical to assume that he has a head injury or something else (given that his last memory is that he was kidnapped and drugged). They didn't take long, by the way, if he had run around for three episodes and shouted "where's Charlie?" That would be it then.
I also thought at first: "Come on, guess already." But then I figured it out. I'm sure his behavior is absolutely logical. And it would be much stranger if he understood everything right away.
@Flanker: This is Occam's razor, a principle that scientists are actively using. All other things being equal, a simpler explanation of a phenomenon should always be chosen.
Problems with the head (especially after injury and injection of some kind of drug) are a much simpler explanation than the incredible scientific breakthrough that allowed us to create a way to travel between worlds.
@a1396758: A man should be a little bit more beautiful than a monkey, that's what my late professor of theoretical physics said, and you will remember this statement ;)
It turns out that Jason the "kidnapper" decided to eat a fish and put it on the Christmas tree. He realized his career ambitions, now he decided to squeeze the family from another version of himself. I wonder how quickly Daniela's wife will notice that her husband is not really her husband. Now, of course, she is delighted with this unusual passion, but he is really different.
@Amelya: but in someone else's reality, the kidnapper turns out to lose his career ambitions, because he is almost nobody there. So he doesn't really need them anymore. 🤔
@alexander444: well, the boss's honor remained, and considering that in his native universe, literally murderers work for him, he will begin to create game in the new universe.
@Prolok: "the obvious thing" is a journey through parallel universes) Yes, this can happen to anyone every Friday :D
Just such non-trivial events are immediately believed by those who go to fortune tellers and lay out tarot cards, or adore conspiracy theories, and not by scientists who understand that there must be clear facts, and solutions most often lie in the known plane, or at least It would be a knowable science, not fiction.
If he wasn't a scientist, then it's fine, but here is a scientist who essentially specializes in this and his rationality of actions is not comparable to the actions of a professor of quantum physics, I mean, instead of trying to figure out where he is and what is happening, he does, as for me, thoughtless and stupid things and that's all apparently, when they dictated to him in plain text and showed him the recordings of another version of him, he seemed to be able to combine this most difficult task))
@Prolok: I agree with that, yes. Running around and throwing like a chicken without a head is too emotional a reaction for a person who is supposed to have an analytical approach to situations.
@albinka_: What is it, do you limit us "travelers in parallel universes" to Friday only? We travel on those days of the week where the letter R is in the name. Monday, Tuesday, etc. and Friday, of course!😅🤣
@sashakai: The same thought. I thought we were going to monitor two parallel sets of cross-relationships, but here we were so cruelly broken off. The main thing is, it's not clear at all what the hell this mug shot. The stakes go up if the company's security guards wet everyone in a row.
@sashakai: So they discussed it directly: he's running around insane and blurting out all the secrets. They didn't need to leave a potential witness alive to what was going on inside that corporation. I'm sure a lot of game should have already happened at this level during the experiments. Actually, we were directly told that all the previous jumpers into another reality had disappeared without a trace, and the main character was the first to return. Perhaps these experiments on humans were not even allowed. And in general, imagine the scale of potential investors in such a program, how much the budget was poured into, how many people are involved there and at what level.
Tex... I did not understand, the moving box remains in what reality? Will he have to build a new one? Damn damn damn... How to wait for the next episode. Everything is very cool and famously twisted. Definitely in the TOP
@Raf8678: I think they said that he disappeared in his universe for 14 months, most likely he assembled a new one in the universe from which the main Jason came in these 14 months (although it's still fast of course, but okay)
in general, I can't call Jason from that universe a villain, rather just an antagonist, at least for now. I even felt sorry for him when he refused to work, it is well shown that he seems to regret that in his universe he agreed, but I don't think everything is so smooth there
I just wondered how he would choose which wife to stay with later, given that his second version clearly did not deserve it, so it was cut out.. And so it would be an interesting psychological moment if he decided to betray that Daniela again, with whom he had already refused to be together once, trying to return to his wife from his reality.
Damn, why get rid of the more attractive version of Connelly?They've made a hell of a mess. But the plot of the story is super strange. An ALTGG careerist leaves a girl for science, and then realizes that he was wrong and instead of trying to resume a relationship with a man who still holds feelings for him, he breaks the laws of nature and moves in dimensions in order to steal the wife of another quantum version of himself.And he also throws the heroine of Braga, with whom he had an affair for some reason
Well, it's also a little funny that the physicist took so long to get to the probability with superposition, whereas this idea comes to the viewer raised on Sci-Fi instantly. Especially after gg himself voiced it at the lecture.
@ekko: Being a spectator and a participant in unexplained events are not the same thing. If you see a stranger approach a person in a series declared as fiction and start talking about a simulation, you, as a viewer, will immediately believe it, because that's what you came to watch. But if a person comes up to you on the street and says that you are in a simulation, will you immediately take it on faith and start eating pills of incomprehensible content from his hand? Or will you still think that he's crazy and try to get out of here as soon as possible (at least until he brings very convincing evidence)?
It just began to seem that everything was not so bad, except perhaps that gg decided to cheat on his beloved wife with her copy, as she was eliminated. What kind of "colleagues" does he have?.. I don't like watching ongoing series, but I couldn't resist it, and now I have to suffer and wait for every episode 🥲
The murder at the end of the episode was unexpected! The teaser of what's coming in the next episodes is extremely intriguing. After that, I really want to read the original book. I've only read Blake Crouch's Return (or Recursion), and this is a very cheerful action novel about memory and time loops.
Damn, why did Daniela get killed? And what kind of black woman came, maybe it's some kind of agent of those people in the lab from the first series?
P.S. I have never been a racist, but for once the main characters are white actors, they have already lost the habit of this) I almost believe that there will be practically no agenda, but this is already too unlikely
It was logical that there would be consequences of gg running away from some corporation, where he was examined after waking up. It is logical that they are looking for him. Why didn't he think about it even when he found his own research? Obviously, these people obviously know more, they tell him right at the beginning that they were waiting for him, that he was the only one back, that he was on the board of directors, damn, and that there was clearly a lot of money involved. The unexpected murder of Daniella at the end is a good plot engine. It's good that she's not the only Daniella in the series, because I adore Connelly, she plays amazing :)
This parallel with the exhibition and the selected doors is cute, but too much in the forehead.
Regarding such small mistakes as with a brush, you could have waited until she brushed her teeth first, and then see which brush was wet. But here I foresee many such moments where the hero would have to quietly explore this world in order to adapt, and he would, acting automatically or thoughtlessly, stupidly "shoot". In fact, this is a completely different life, the details of which he does not know (starting from important dates, and ending with his own habits), and there are a lot of chances to slip up here, the most effective option would be to simulate some kind of fall or headbutt, play a little amnesia, and then write off any forgetfulness.
@albinka_: And yet, the appearance of the missing millionaire at the exhibition should not have been included in any, at least minor news or someone's posts on social networks, according to which he would have been tracked back in the evening?)
But in general, a slightly banal story is still coming out: once again, someone regrets that they chose a career instead of love and family.
@albinka_: "the hero should quietly explore this world in order to adapt," So what do you think he was doing there for 14 months? He even had a notebook shown at the beginning of the series with notes of what someone did when (an entry is made "Charlie drove the car to school" and there are records in neighboring cells on days of the week). Of course, he didn't hear any conversations, but he was obviously watching himself - the locals seemed to show the car a couple of times.
@alavitka: Of course, when I mentioned the brush story, I meant the world of the apartment and home life and the subjects of recent conversations, not the world around me. I.e., not to take the initiative where he is not aware.
Well, the option of playing a light concussion still seems to me more optimal than trying to fit into the role perfectly, risking falling on the little things and causing unnecessary questions why he forgot something or does not do as before. A couple of such moments are not scary, yes, but a lot of oddities and changes can lead to suspicion of some kind of illness, or thoughts " and whether he has got someone for himself, since he has changed so much in behavior".
@albinka_: Well, it seemed to me that the hero does not want to mow down much under the alter ego. He's not going to make it. He had wasted his happiness at work and now he forced himself to squeeze it out. And always pretending, you won't be able to get high. And in general, there are more differences for a wife than you can consciously imagine, do you know how the female brain works?
And why kill her?. Was it just for the sake of a dramatic ending or did it interfere with the plot? I didn't like this moment, the absurdity is off the scale.
It is amazing, of course, how a brilliant scientist thought that he would be able to replace a husband with 15 years of memories and would not fall asleep in front of his wife and son. What is he counting on🤔
@Some shit: he probably had to simulate some kind of head injury in which "oh my God, I forgot the last 15 years of our lives, I just remember that I love you very much" 😁
It seems like I was watching, everything was readable and boring, but then his wife is killed and I want to figure out what's next. I believe that the real wife will realize that she has an impostor at her side when he does not tell her that he would choose her instead of the laboratory. This phrase was inserted into the series for a reason
@Candramelekh: he already knows this phrase, because from the very beginning in the first episode, the cunning fox found out about the conversation in the bar from the second version of himself, and then told his wife about it and they say I chose you, and what was that phrase, remember? And she stupidly told him it. So the twist won't be with her for sure.
There is a paradox of Schrodinger's cat. I propose a new paradox - Sex with my wife / not my wife. Is it cheating to have sex with your wife in a universe where you are not husband and wife? 😁
@Lighthouse012: This is no longer a scientific dilemma, but a moral one) And this is decided within the couple (because everyone has different boundaries: for someone to flirt is a horror, a horror, and someone agrees with his soulmate that a kiss is not treason). Therefore, before getting married, in addition to the main questions, such as do you want children, you should also discuss the permissibility of sex with a spouse from a parallel universe :D
@albinka_: I imagine what a marriage contract will look like😁 in case of infidelity to your spouse (including a genetic copy of a person from another universe), you lose all claims to the property of your spouse
@Lighthouse012: Is it cheating on your wife that you slept with her the next day? After all, this is another version of yesterday's wife who is one day older
@Ustrahan: I'd rather get in) our cells in the body are updated, something in days, and something in years) is it cheating to have sex with your wife in 7-10 years, given that this is already a new person, some parts have already been updated many times 😁 the paradox of the ship of Theseus😁
The man from the parallel universe is tough and cruel, immediately following his advice to his son to be alienated in order to please the girl, it is clear why he blew his relationship with the heroine Connelly in his universe.
I wonder why it was necessary to send your version to your world if it was easier to kill him and take his place. Now he's going to make a noise there (probably)
I'm in love with Jennifer Connelly! The Goddess is the most interesting series. They are twisted with each episode. It was a little weird when Jason kissed Daniella in a new reality. Okay, his wife in her reality does not know that her husband is not next to her, but he knows that Daniella is not his wife here, as if 🤔 Oh, this awkward moment 🙃
I thought there needed to be a more compelling reason to replace reality than personal problems. Dude, well, Daniela was alive in your dimension, you could just make out with her, and not steal reality from your double. If there is no deeper bottom behind these parallel universe tricks, then that would be a damn dumb motivation.
It was supposed to be another series/film telling a story about parallel worlds, and yet they managed to do it well. At least until the second episode. We'll see how it comes out later.
@Aprillian: very slowly. I almost fell asleep. A cheap trick is to pour the entire series from empty to empty, and throw in an unexpected twist before the credits.
If Jason's antagonist had known that Daniela would so easily decide to make peace with him, if he came up with a story with a parallel reality where they are married, then the series could not have been filmed
In fact, the end of the series disappointed that Jason did not refuse a kiss and thus would not have proved that he had a reason to return. Okay, godless stupidity, but this…
Just the other day I was so tired that I accidentally brushed my teeth with my wife's brush... Let's decide how we will distinguish GG when the wound on my nose heals. Of course, this is far from the level of the great J. K. Simmons in the Counterpart
@EgorovD: J. K. Simmons has too different lives, the characters' lives have developed too much in different planes/levels. Immediately, apart from the realization of scientific ambitions, no special character changes are observed, except for ambition and undeveloped empathy.
@blind_gj: so he also messed up, before getting knocked up. It's just that if the desire to be with her is the main motivation, then Celik went, of course
It is expected that the second Danielle will be killed, he loves his wife, and this is a somewhat "different" version, apparently they do not want to dirty the moral principles of the "good" Jason.
I hope the motivation of the "evil" Jason is not only that he did not have time to arrange a personal life in his world?
Problems with the head (especially after injury and injection of some kind of drug) are a much simpler explanation than the incredible scientific breakthrough that allowed us to create a way to travel between worlds.
