I cannot put into words how much I loved this episode. But I don't wanna write an essay so I'm just gonna talk about the music scene. It was... sublime: we see the same scenes as before, but now 33 years have passed for us, we've seen the complete cycle and now the main characters inverted! 1 - The Stranger meets Jonas, except the Stranger is now our Jonas 2 - Noah meets Bartosz, except we've being following Noah now 3 - Claudia meets younger Claudia, but now we're following Older Claudia 4 - The Stranger meets Jonas, but now we've seen him stranded in the wasteland for 33 years 5 - Noah finds out the truth, but now we're with him 6 - Jonas and Martha finally meet and Adam kills her, but now... we've been following Adam... I'm actually crying right now after rewatching that scene. I can't express with words how much I love it. It's incredible, it's unbelievable, it's sublime. Might be my favorite episode/scene ever, of anything really! Maybe I'm going too far, but it really impacted me

I respect the creators so much for this. Wow. How could anyone manage to write this? HOW? It takes the brain of Einstein and the heart of Shakespear to come up with this intelligent yet heart breaking-warming of a story. Amazingly pasted this episode tells us EVERYTHING we have to know before season 1 even started! It studies the characters and their arcs and purposes like NO OTHER episode the show had! Some major twists happen! Tragic events! Seeing Ulrich's life being destroyed all over again. Helge as a kid wounded. Hannah being killed by her own son or what is left of him. Silja dying giving birth to Agnes. Noah dying again and again. Martha dying agaian and agaian. Claudia dying again and again. Everything repeats itself until it doesn't! Then comes Claudia with that perfect cliffhanger for the finale. And there I thought they had not done Claudia justice. The exact moment I thought well she was the MAIN protagonist of season 2 WHY THE HELL DID SHE NOT HAVE A BIGGER ROLE IN THIS SEASON? that exact moment she reapears to claim the title for the wisest character most badass character and ofc the best time traveler! Someone who actually figured it out!!!! Claudia Tidemen Ladies and Gentlemen !!!

This episode will go down as one of the best episodes of all time and it literally deserves it!

Well played Dark. Well played!

The Cycle..The Beginning....The End Everything, the entire loop is explained, How the characters have come into existence, How the characters have faced their end. This episode answers most of the questions we have from the first episode. The last 10 min sequence shows us the events from season 1 where the questions and suspense began and giving a meaningful answer for them..Yet there are few questions which are to be answered with the finale...

Claudia is a key character and she's one of my favorites and she killed her older self from the parallel world to find a way to make her daughter live and she does not trust both sides. I don't know why but I root for Jonas instead of the older Martha although he strives for total annihiltion.

I love this show, but the last two episodes have been underwhelming and just frustrating. The writers have committed two sins. First, they are breaking all the rules they set up just so they can keep blowing our minds. If there are no rules, then it's really hard to sustain dramatic tension. Anything can happen. That's a cheat. Second, the characters aren't consistent. For example, Noah in season one came across as this menacing evil type. Now, we discover that he didn't want to do any of Adam's dirty work and that he hated Adam. Fair enough, except that none of that came across in his performance. The show seems to prefer characters come across as creepy sometimes rather than realistic. Some sense of Noah's humanity in the first season instead of going all in on menacing would have made this episode's reveal easier to take. And, one more thing--there have been no explanations for how the characters continually know exactly when to pop in and change things. A little bit too coincidental and convenient for the plot.

Are most reviews fake or what? This is NOT "the greatest episode in TV history". The episode was garbage. I kept rolling my eyes and my frustration blowing out of proportion with the stupid choices characters made here. Why would Jonas ever want to kill his mum? Why would old Martha be so cruel? It actually makes no sense and the explanations given are not clever , are cheap and ridiculous. This episode has reminded me of the awful Game of Thrones finale. Writers never know how to finish a series in a good way..... PS: I haven't seen the finale yet. I have little hopes after this episode but let's see what happens.

The plot is suddenly resolved leaving some important questions unanswered for me: why had Noah killed the children in the first world during the first season? Why had he sent their dead bodies to the future? Why had Jonas decided that old Charlotte and old Elizabeth from the future, kidnapped baby Charlotte (herself and Elizabeth daughter) and delivered her to the watchmaker? It doesn't make sense to me: what was the point? The conclusions of the creation of the two worlds from the real world seems hasty. How could ever Claudia conclude the creation of the two worlds was provoked by the watchmaker from an unique only true world? (Even if she had traveled between the two worlds ruled by Adam and Eve, we can't see how she could have imagine there was a third world, and it was the real one). Sorry, I didn't enjoy the final season as much as I had expected.
