So I guess you didn't get anything out of it then.

I saw that ep as more of the grapple with our fear of death and the unknown afterlife. The choice wasn’t between her husband and a lesbian, it was between an assured artificial afterlife and the chance that the real afterlife exists which we are all told is inconceivably divine. It’s why I thought it was a sad ending. She pussied out and took the man made construct. Her convictions weren’t strong enough to take a leap of faith.

Waldo one could have been good I think if the bear itself was like a crude AI designed by the guy that he loses control of, not just a digital puppet.

As I recall though didn't she say she lost her faith over tragedy? It wasn't a case where she got to the end of her life and then was getting nervous about her faith and the afterlife. Her daughter had died or something years prior and back then she made her decision, she was only kind of clinging on because of her husband's memory and his faith, something she didn't share. Not cowardice.

Yes, the last season represents the worst Black Mirror has ever been, including the typically worst rated episodes of past seasons. Black Mirror has finally left behind its premise of making information technology instrumental to every story, reducing it something that merely facilitates stories that could have been told without it. Nevermind the fact that it has also left behind its typically bleak atmosphere.

I didn't want to believe the memes, but they were true. Black Mirror used to be one of my favorite things on television. Now it's just as braindead as any average show.

>USS Callister hahahahhahahahhehehhehee

she explicitly never had those convictions in the first place tho. And she gone can always choose to pass away if she decides otherwise. It's definitely sad, but they still got their second chance, at least for a little while.

I actually enjoyed Smithereens. It had nothing to do with the dangers of future technology though. As a drama, I did really enjoy it.

Not him, but The Waldo Moment sucks because it's simplistic, thinly veiled commentary on modern politics that anyone who overestimates their own intelligence makes before morning coffee. Other than that the characters are not compelling and there's no good narrative arc, so it's just a long stretch of Brooker going "boy, isn't populism terrible?"

>striking vipers
even the name sounds gay

Maybe you’re right it’s been a while since I’ve seen it. But I just remember when it came out and everyone was praising it for being a happy and gay lesbian scissor fest ending and I ended it feeling like it was way more tragic than it was made out to be.

Is anyone truly good?

I viewed it as a commentary on the degraing of political discourse towards memetic asshattery, which we could observe with Trump memeing and can now observe with the "Yang gang" circlejerk.

It's the best of the bunch, and if it were a movie I'd just ran into on Netflix, I'd probably have thought it was kinda decent. A little trite with its message, but decent. Good performances, good cinematography.

But as a Black Mirror episode, it just doesn't do what I expect Black Mirror to do. And it's also not a movie, but an episode of a TV show. The biggest complaint I have with these new episodes is that the extra length goes completely unused. They've just stretched regular episodes out to fit the runtime. I took notice of it with Striking Vipers, and it takes 15 minutes of character setup before the actual story starts. And then it's 40 minutes of the dude ruining his marriage. Take the same episode and cut it down to fit into 40-45 minutes, and it's instantly better.

I don't understand Metalhead.

As far as I could tell they were supposed to be security bots that did their job a little too well and started eradicating humans.

Yeah, pretty much. I'm fine with that if there's an actual point behind it. The National Anthem was relatively similar in the fact that it has a political theme, but it's just executed so much better. It's a real blow against the backhandedness of modern politics. And the idea of a literal persona running and winning an election is actually a good idea for something like Black Mirror. There's a point to be made with that. But it doesn't. At least, not beyond its complaint with the lack of dignified politics.

And that's a conservative viewpoint, too. If you look back, you'll find that the same shit happened before the modern media age, too. The Romans were notorious shit-slingers and meme-makers. Enemies of Julius Caesar circulated the rumor that he had given up his anal virginity to get a good deal with a foreign king.

The twist at the end of Hang the DJ completely takes everything away from the rest of it. If "the program" had been reality it would have been so much better and more fulfilling.

that's not what satire is you fucking pseud lmao

Isn't it pretty much reality in the sense that a digital copy is created and experiencing those simulations? It's them but not them.

I've read fan theory that those teddy bears can actually hold a cookie, which I can imagine the parent of a dying child valuing. It also fits with the dark tone of Black Mirror, because we know it's a selfish, terrible thing to do.

But in all likelihood, it's just a teddy bear, and the whole message is about contrasting emotional humanity with the unrelenting, efficient machines that hunt them in that world. Personally, I didn't enjoy the touch. It would have been better to leave it out. The entire story was about the hunt anyway. I enjoyed it more than most. It's one of those stories where the technology facilitates a more traditional plot, rather than direct commentary, but it was pretty exciting. And I enjoyed actually getting to see a ruthlessly efficient futuristic drone for that long, and the fact that it looked and acted realistically. I guess I've seen so many shitty movie robots that this just really worked for me.

I was cutting some slack. It seems self-defeating to me to call something a "weak-ass, helpless brainlet strawman response" when you intend to keep a conversation going with another person.

I thought it was rather obvious

The fact that it wasn't real was the point. All those experiences get flushed down the toilet at the end of it. And I suppose there's the hidden implication that the relationship will be nothing like what we saw, because those people are just going to go through normal life together, rather than a journey of self-discovery.

I don't get the hate against Crocodile, episode was one of the darkest and it gets more fucked up as it goes, definitely underrated.

For me? It’s gay black niggers

What's wrong with the Federalist?

All of what you're saying is why I don't think it works. If it had been about them overcoming societies idea of what makes a perfect couple and rebelling to be together it would have been great. But no, it's just an app and the real people aren't ever going to be in the environment that made them fall in love in the simulation so what was the point?

Thats the most comfy episode desu.

This. To me this season felt like it was made by someone who has never seen Black Mirror but read a synopsis of it and tried to make their version of it. The importance and social commentary of technology and it’s effects in our society are gone in place of pushing agendas and lame happy ending Disney movies. I’m so disappointed because it really was one of the coolest shows I ever watched but now it just makes me cringe

In the second episode, the sniper can't get a clear shot, but why didn't he just move?

To be fair, it always had an agenda as well as some happy endings. A lot of people love San Junipero, and while it isn't one of my favorites, I can still see the whole Black Mirror premise there. And it's kind of bittersweet, because you're still left wondering about the ramifications of this fantasy tech. Season 5 doesn't even agenda-push all that hard. It's just lackluster all around, and stuff like "lol don't text and drive" stand out a lot more in the vacuum that these episodes have.

Legit one of my very favorites. The thing is, a goofy premise isn't goofy if you sell it well. And that's what that episode does. The characters in it never comment on their world. They wouldn't, because it's natural to them. A less well written episode would have some distant calamity that forced people into it, you know, shitty exposition. But that episode does it through smart visual storytelling. Good stuff.
