We meet again // I finally found you

Episode 1 // Episode 10

[vegasandhishedgehog]

Thinking of Dome in Midnight Museum. He got laid off, and then offered a job after his coworker tries to attack him in an alley. After being pretty much coerced into accepting his new job, he finds out the place is haunted, somehow causes a containment breach, gets choked out by a ghost, solves that problem, the place gets robbed immediately, it's suggested he's not normal, he finds the robbers only to find they're possessed and will kill him, his new boss shows up and saves him in extremely homoerotic fashion, his old coworker is dead now (?), and apparently his boss can't die.

All in like. 48 hours.

Midnight Museum Symbols & Theories

Listen up, mi gente! It's Midnight Museum theory time, so put on your tin foil hats and follow me down this rabbit hole of chaos and tarot cards.

The Waxing Moon

The waxing moon (or a crescent moon) shows up a lot. It is a symbol of life and death. The waxing moon is the Midnight Museum's logo on the card, but it is also the tattoo the kid who comes back to life has in episode four.

And the tattoo the mysterious woman has

And it's the symbol hanging over her door, and the same place the boy in episode four tries to run to.

The High Priestess

In the trailer, we see the mystery woman tell Khatha she will take everything from him, but before that we see someone holding the High Priestess card. The card features a crescent moon and deals with mystery, secrets, and hidden talents.

In the beginning of episode three, Dome mentioned seeing our life flash before our eyes as we die, then we saw flashes from his life. One of those looked like a high priestess. Could this be the mystery woman? Or someone else like the next door neighbor we saw praying at an altar with the red dressed bride in the first episode?

Tarot Cards

What if we are going through the deck with each episode? Have we seen the Lovers (Moth & Rin) and perhaps the Tower (the kids at school) up until now. Was Jib the Fool?

Could Bam, the cop, be Justice? Could Triphop be the Hierophant who acts as the counselor? Both talked about going against arranged marriages and tradition in the second episode. This is a key element in those cards. Could June, whose gown is filled with red flowers be the Empresses whose gown is decorated with red pomegranates?

More importantly, this is the description of the Emperor - he is depicted in red and holds a scepter in his right hand and a globe in his left. Who fits that description?

Khatha's office has a crown featured front and center on the table.

And when he went to Dome's room, he noticed the crown necklace

Also, his scepter holds a similar rock to the evil one we saw in episode four.

But what is the number one card? The Magician who stands between the spiritual and physical realms as well as symbolizes untapped potential. The Magician can do all things.

The Spiritual Realm

Is Dome an alien or tapping into another realm?

In the first episode, we saw him transport to a different plane when he was knocked out from the red dressed bride. In episode four, we saw his eyes look very similar to the keychain he has attached to his bag.

Which resembles a universe, and when the universe or someone on the spiritual plane speaks to him

It is something similar to what we hear in the trailer

But Dome can't decipher the entire message

Is his mission to usher in a new god or is HE the new god/ruler? The current ruler would be the Emperor, and if both of them are immortal, they will be of the same kind.

Immortality as a Curse

In episode three, when we see Dome's life flash before his eyes, we see him drowning (it's hard to see, but if you watch it on .25 speed, you can get a glimpse of it)

At the end of episode four, we see him arrive in the past in a boat on a lake full of dead bodies

And the hat he wears has the zodiac signs on it with a scale

If Dome is the Magician and has only tapped into some of his power, what if he died by drowning and was thrown back into time where he met Khatha, who we saw standing on the pier.

In the flashbacks of Dome's life in the beginning of episode three, we see these two memories

The first one seems to be from when he awakens on the boat, and the second appears to be when they begin to know each other. If this is the case, THIS is why Khatha asked Dome in the first episode if Dome remembered Khatha. Dome doesn't, perhaps because he is a time and space traveler since he can move between planes, which might explain him popping into other people's bodies?

June reminds Dome that immorality is a curse because immortals must watch those they love die. In the flashes of Dome's life, we see him near fire.

This is a similar shot to the one we got of Khatha looking horrified in front of a fire in the first episode when the cursed body reacted to the chaos.

If Dome drowned and was thrown into the past, then Dome dying in the past might have thrown him to a different time.

If that burnt cursed body was Dome's previous body, the mystery woman getting it could potentially tap into Dome's power OR control Dome himself since the body was snatched by her minions at the warehouse.

Because Khatha was somehow tethered to Dome in those dying moments, he, too became immortal aka cursed.

June was cursed. She tells Khatha they are the same. She says she, in a sense, cursed herself because she was a ghost haunted by her choices that ended with the love of her life dying. That made her immortal. She tells Khatha he is the same.

Khatha lectures Dome about not connecting to cursed objects because then Dome will become cursed himself.

As stated above, Khatha's specter holds a similar stone as the evil one in episode four. It even did something similar when Khatha touched it in episode two at the warehouse. During the moths episode, Khatha wears a shirt with moths on it.

What if Khatha, in an attempt to right his wrong (which ended in his lover, Dome, dying), searched for objects that would help him 1) bring back memories of his loved one like the moths do, and 2) bring back the dead like the evil stone does? Those are only two of the objects HE collected, so in his search for redemption, did he curse himself?

Stray Thoughts

What's behind that wall in the real Dome's room?

Why was the real Dome snatched on his 23rd birthday 202 years AFTER the time traveling Dome ended up in the past (May 1820)? Is the real Dome stuck on a spiritual plane?

And finally, Dome's shirt had a black heart on it.

Either Khatha and Dome were/are in love or I am losing my mind.

Thanks to @slayerkitty for spoiling all the scary parts for me, so I can keep watching this show!

promise me you won’t give your life for someone so easily again.
