The Monkey cracked me up, that was my favorite episode. USS Callister was a close second

I really liked Hang the DJ, they actually threw me for a loop on that one. Plus that girl was fucking hot.....

This latest season was meh.

The episodes gradually got worse and worse and climaxed at Metalhead in terms of shittiness.

Why were the robot dogs chasing the humans? What's the point of it all?

And two, the woman was just a fucking retard. Bitch can't drive, she's being hunted by a robot dog, and makes mistake after mistake after mistake. I'm now rooting for the damn dog because this bitch keeps fucking up.

If you have a robot dog that is obviously tracking you, why did you go over land when you should have been in the river where he couldn't follow? Why did you spend 15 minutes dicking around on a walking talkie when you should have been running?

And in the last episode, why was there a truck driving through the park? Must have been a truck of peace.

And finally, i'm getting sick of the repetitive white woman, black man pairings. Why can't there be a white guy, black lady couple? White guys should be able to enjoy sisters too!

Didn't the Hang the dj episode have a black woman and white man coupling?

Post: #155

They need to make an episode where everyone just stares at their phone all day & gets offended by absolutely everything

I would say more what I liked but I would probably spoil to others who haven't watched.

The Black Museum episode is probably one of the most fucked up things I've ever seen. Loved it.

They seem to be enforcing a quota of no more than 10% white male characters on the show these days. And those are either timid and needing to be led by women, or outright villains. In particular, the message of the first episode seemed to be that the beta male IT guy in your office is not just a brow-beaten nerd, he's actually a monster deep down.
I like clever TV shows, which this has been at its best. But each time I make a foray into contemporary TV or movies, they are all playing to demographics which I'm just not included in. Back to the classics it is then.

^^Or how about the short blond hair bitch in crocodile who had the strength to kill her male friend, drag his body outside, kill the muslim bitch, her husband, and then a baby?

You kidding me with that? Bitch managed to kill two fully grown men first with her hands and then with a hammer?

Seriously, that's some weak shit. I just laughed at that. My patience for bad story telling is really low. If they fail to hold my disbelief, I start looking more critically at the story which is a kiss of death.

SPOILERS!

Two items bothered me about the Metalhead episode:

1. The power is still on / batteries still charged? Cars seem to start and the automatic doors opened in that house when the mech-dog hacked the security.
2. The house had good water pressure (without pumps or city water operating???).

As a poster above pointed out, Crocodile had a skinny chick overpowering and killing a full sized man with ease. Butt-kicking women theme seems to be still a thing, like it has been for a decade or more.

My "suspension of disbelief" objection was in the Star Trek episode.

It makes no sense that the chick in the simulation would have the same consciousness and memories as the real life chick.

Identical twins come from the same DNA. They might often see the same situation in the same unique way, because they come from the same "recipe". But they have different memories and life experiences, which forms them in different ways.

It's a plot hole that simulation chick can get leverage from real world chick's memories, without something in the story to explain how that happens.

Its science fiction. There might be a few blanks you have to fill in or just accept.

Fantastic TV-show. Horrifying to say the least.

Favorite episode, probably "White Christmas".

I filled in that plot hole in my mind by assuming all the employees logged into one of the online games. Their 'minds' were then copied illicitly and downloaded into their computer simulations.

I think they are implying that technology used in the game Infinity, presented through Space Fleet mod of game designer is very similar to "cookie" technology seen in White Christmas. Cookie technology is literally copy of you. It uses chip that copies your consciousness through the period of hours, whereas Jesse Plemons characters used something shaped like 3D printer to extract DNA from items he stole. How his technology managed to replicate cookie work is not known.

What is also interesting that Black Mirror, even though being anthology series, is clearly drawing connections between White Christmas, USS Callister, Hang the DJ, Black Museum and many more episodes.
Dating app seen on receptionist's phone is connected to Hang the DJ. Black Museum mentions cookie technology seen first in White Christmas. San Junipero technology mentioned by protagonist, etc.

I'm curious how they plan on how they will tie it all together. The Black Museum episode had all of the key plot artifacts in one room. Maybe they're just easter eggs? I don't know. Guess we'll have to wait until season 5!

Post: #166

I thought this season was pretty good except metalhead, which didn't make any sense but was still creepy AF.

Hang the DJ was pretty interesting, lots of game stuff to discuss - to what degree can algorithms determine compatibility, the insanity of forcing this girl into a series of short flings (dramatically increasing her notch count and making her an alpha widow, but it was only her cookie so it doesn't count?)

Only complaint was that 5/6 of the episodes were about uploaded consciousnesses (cookies) or the privacy of one's thoughts while previous seasons hit on a wider spectrum of tech-ethical issues.

The episodes are essentially unique plots in a separate reality.

I watched the first 2 episodes, because Black Mirror is well-done and usually has a ton of info on predictive programming points embedded that the globalists want to get out. Someone among the creators has at least access to higher-up planning.

Of course they add plenty of propaganda while dishing out the predictive programming stuff (for clarification - you show the serfs what you plan to do with them even in a negative light [brain chip], so that when the real thing comes, that you accept it more readily even when you have seen it negatively - the mind works that way}.

Episode 1:

The Star Trek was more trekky than the new feminist STD version. Of course they bring the virtual immersion there and the utter moronic push of being able to make a copy of you online - that won't go anywhere of course in reality and such realistic online playing tech would have tremendous consequences to the real life.

But anyway - of course they showed the white genius guy as the creepy sadistic monster, the women are equally capable in tech and are of course all good. So no surprise.

Episode 2:

This one was a bit more realistic. Chipping the population is a wonderful goal of theirs.

But the funny parts are the showing of the safe-spaces (filter), the single mother household, the absentee dad who is not even mentioned, the cock carousel of the mother even at higher age (you go girl - ride those dicks!). Of course such tools in the hand of single mothers would create literally a generation of serial killers and mother-slayers. It was also funny to see the one scene shown in war - all you saw was a strong independent female soldier mowing down men in battle. Nice touch there you shitty cultural marxists.

Black Mirror is good - the CIA/MI6 connection of the BBC does not disappoint. Of course you gotta take note of the added propaganda aside from the added planned future shown to the serfs. Serfs - take note.

Watch more closely between each episode. There are tons of easter eggs they make reference to between each episode.

Whether it will be a plot point for later is to be determined, but I agree with your synopsis on this.

Episode 2 was haunting.

A single mom past her prime is heavily invested in this one child making it through childbirth. Everything is invested into the safety of this one kid, so much that she would convince herself that having Archangel is a good idea.

Her masculine(ish) father is looked at by her as old, too conservative, but again he seems to be so highly invested in her (and granddaughter) that he will take a back seat to her insane ideas.

Single mom is plate through all these years, and has a fucked up idea of what love is. She can't stand that her daughter, despite all that she did to sabotage her life, is turning out normal. Actual love? With a guy that loves her back? FEMINISM!!! She expected to birth a BFF and instead manipulated her own daughter into turning against her.

It was sad because we are nearly there. The playground is full of these women beaming smiles down at their kids in the sandbox through a screen in their hand. Designer coffee in one hand, iPhone X in the other. Kid in an aquarium.

The brainchip episode would have been even more jarring if the child was a boy. Mommy making sure that you are not watching porn or jerking off, mommy berating you for looking at girls' legs, finally mommy sitting in the closet as a stuffed animal while the son is completely bonkers.

Yes, I would also classify them as easter eggs but they are here in my opinion to give us sort of connection between episodes. Also Black Museum hosts almost every plot device from previous and current season. Although I must say that I am not aware of time periods. When San Juniper takes place and when does White Christmas for example?
Black chick in last episode asks about "old people being uploaded to the Cloud" (clearly reference to San Junipero) to which guy responds that this is "old tech" in contrast to current cookie technology.

Good season. One thing that bothered me was a grown man being choked out by a 100 lbs white girl. Just ridiculous!

It was ridiculous, but he was a bitch and deserved it. The plot would have worked better with the sex roles reversed and the initial scene having her driving and using the relationship as a means to control him in relation to the hit and run issue-it would have patched an enormous hole in the plot.

The episode was supposed to be in Scotland with a male lead.

Short-haired lady read the script for another part but asked could she be the protagonist.

And thus here we are: (Spoiler!!) Watching a mother kill a blind baby while a guinea pig saves the day.

That part was ridiculous - the equivalent would be me trying to push and then choke a guy like The Rock with my puny weight. A man of the same size and body-mass is almost 80% stronger than a woman - let alone a man much taller and stronger.

Also - the usual connotation was used in the episode. Evil white - woman in this case - murders innocent likeable Muslim family. If I were the Muslim woman I would have told her that every car and phone has a GPS and that all the data is available. The cops would go looking for a missing memory-probing insurance agent 100% - much faster if the bitch murders her husband and child. Even the current police force would go follow the GPS traces and would go looking for an insurance agent - especially one who probes the fucking memories of people! It's not as if it's absolutely impossible that the agent sees something that a person wants to hide. Her murdering the entire family and leaving even more GPS and DNA traces is even more stupid. Yeah - the hamster did her in. Every Western police force in the year 2015 would have caught her as well.
