I was BOGGLED to learn that the hottie 1890s DI is the same actor as the terrible young jerk in Andor! I did not recognize him at all.
Me neither, until a review pointed it out. :) Clearly a versatile actor! (Though the beard helped, I guess.)
And the way Julian calls Elias "son" at the end!
The more intense version of current John Crichton kissing young John Crichton on the head in Terra Firma in s4 of Farscape, in a way.
Re: them not knowing each other: Arthur Hollinghead could now be still alive in 1941, and maybe Charlie could meet him at Polly's concert that gets announced in the last episode. (Since she uses the name Polly Hollinghead and became a professional pianist, she clearly avoided going dark side as well.) Conversely, Charlie could be still alive during Shahara's life time.
Charlie letting Esther go and her radiant smile just about made up for it
Charlie and Esther will definitely see each other again - with or without shared borscht - and he will adopt her.
The Throat was blown up, wasn't it?
I don't think so? Since after Elias/Julian did what he did, not only the bomb but the ensueing state AND the resistance group never happened. So Gabriel Defoe might still do similar research, but without the urgency which was due to the state his world was in, and as I understood it, the Throat at least in the form we saw it was an artificial creation brought about by his research.
Now, the show actually established time travel working in two directions, past and future, with Gabriel Defoe as a plot point, but with this one exception, we only saw journeys into the past. I suppose it's possible for Spoiler to have simultanously travelled into the future, like he did, but that would have been the future from the 2053 standpoint, not from the Victorian one, and at any rate would not have led her to 2023.
Something else: I don't think the show ever specified what exactly caused the physical state of Iris and her brother, just that Iris got the SPYNE by becoming part of the system and Abie remained in a wheelchair because he refused to. But I don't recall a clear mention as to whether they were both born this way or whether this happened as a result of the bomb. And that would make an obvious difference to her life in the new timeline.
