No you don't get it, the beetles Daniel and Elliot use to get around are bugs.
They're bugs in the code
That's how they change things around, they're bugging out the code

Bo and Jantje really broke the Dark fans didn't they. Before the season dropped everyone was commenting on how similar Elliot and Daniel looked and despite them saying there was no time travel people couldn't shake the feeling they were somehow the same person when the obvious answer is that they're father and son

I am almost at the end of Episode 7 and I have compiled a list of the people who show up in the intros :D
First of all, we have Mrs Wilson:
(Oooohhh notice how that black quartz thingie is eating away at her hand here :D)
Then there is Daniel:
(Slipping through the wires, is he?)
Olek:
Eyk Larsen
And probably either his wife or one of his daughters
Kraster
Ling Yi
Maura
The Boy/Elliot
And finally this woman (?) who I am not sure about. Maura seems like the obvious answer but I am not sure
Does this mean anything at all? Does the absence of Angel, Ramiro, Lucien, Clemence, Jerome and Tove signify anything? Who knows?

Elliot: Just be casual. Play it cool, try some light conversation. I'm sure she'll start to remember if we just take it slow.
Daniel: Yeah, okay, I can do that.
[later]
Maura: Nice work, Daniel! High five!
Maura: [high fives Daniel]
Daniel: [intertwines their fingers]
Maura: Wh--
Daniel: I'm your husband you've lost your memory of me we've been married for 12 years we have a son

I did a rewatch, here are a bunch of smaller things I feel like can be important in the future (cancellation? what cancellation?):
Ada’s ghost ship story. It’s about how the sea gets so angry when the passengers and crew of a ship kill a whale that it sends a storm their way and turns it into an actual ghost ship. Could be an allegory for what the passengers do to Elliot and the simulation subsequently killing them afterwards, or it could be part of an even larger narrative.
Franz has been part of Eyk’s crew for as long as Maura and Daniel have been married.
Several important characters have scarring and wounds on their faces or arms, and some of Franz’ are fresher even before we see him physically fight.
Anker literally means anchor. It’s probably just a characterisation detail for Anker but still an interesting name choice.
«Die Gedanken sin frei» is a song celebrating freedom of thought.
When Maura wakes up the first time it’s Henry’s voice telling her to do so but afterwards and for everyone else it’s Maura’s voice.
When Ramiro and Angel hook up in 1.02 the scene ends with a shot of a painting of a wolf and a sheep.
While the earth symbol is everywhere, only Ling Yi, Virginia Wilson and Clémence seem to have it on their clothes or accessories. It might be a stretch, but I also think the embroidered flower on Clémence’s collar looks like a bug.
Tove describes Iben’s religious conviction and the fact that she hears voices as creating her own world that the people around her have decided to follow. This could be a parallel to Maura creating the simulation and pulling everyone into it.
In 1.05 Maura tells Eyk that she remembers being a doctor and that her father must have changed her memory to make her a patient. This is probably her doing because of the Elliot reveal, but she also says she thinks she managed to remember the purpose of what was happening and was made to forget. Is this her projecting her deeds onto her father again, or did she actually manage to remember one time and get forced back into forgetting by someone else?
After exiting her first flashback into the shooting scene, Tove sees that she stands in front of room 2102. There’s a big visual focus on room numbers in general too.
Speaking of numbers, Maura’s room in the ship and the room in the mental hospital are both numbered 1011.
Virginia Wilson is confirmed to speak and understand English, French and Cantonese so far.
There are multiple closeups of Eyk’s family photo.
All of the photos on Daniel and Maura’s nightstand seem to be from the same day. One of the photos shows Elliot holding the bug, indicating that this day is the same as Elliot’s flashback. Also Maura and Elliot’s clothing in the photos seem similar to if not identical to their simulation outfits.
When Maura and Daniel kiss we see flashes of them together, the mental hospital, the wooden cross from the tomb, a brain and Maura walking down a corridor with a hammer.
Daniel says that if Maura doesn’t wake up, there will be nothing left to wake up for.
Elliot and Daniel’s simulation flashbacks both end with either of them holding Maura’s frock in the middle of the same faulty simulation that Henry is in.
Henry says Maura has fooled «all of us».
Ángel’s song (a version of La Tarara) mentions a finger that can’t be healed and a white dress. The finger could be Virginia and the white dress could be Maura in her hospital gown. The white dress verse claims La Tarara only wears it on Maundy Thursday, and the finger verse says no surgeon can cure it.
