Although i guess it's clearer why he hasn't had time to prepare for it now. Hopefully he'll turn up on some panel show over xmas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that Brooker got a bit too depressed last year talking about Brexit and Trump, that he simply can't face doing one on the actual impact of those 2 things... or the Tory foot-shooting spree that was the general election. They might as well just run the Anchorman fight scene (up to "that escalated quickly") on loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has written a Philomena cunk series but I find the character hit and miss. They may alter the format when not a 5 minute segment though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I watched the 1st episode, USS Callister, and it was really good. A strong start to the season. Man, Plemons looks exactly like Matt Damon with glasses on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pepper Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 USS Callister was so good. Glad Black Mirror is back! Spoiler There is something about these bio game data whatever that just completely freak me out and terrify me. I can guess it will be a nightmare night. San Junipero and White Christmas were terrifying episodes for me. Being stuck in some sort of hardware just sounds like a horror show. I was on the edge of my seat and my heart was pounding once the major reveal happened and we had to wait to see how the characters would work themselves out of the game. One thing I didn't get, if they were trying to die, then why not all go burn themselves up in the generator? Or did they specifically need to get out of that particular game and into the regular game? And how did they lock whatshisname in the game? Which led to his death (and I assume that will turn out to be PR for the game and our protagnosists will die eventually?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That episode was incredible. i also watched Arkangel which was the quintessential Black Mirror episode in that it made me want to kill myself. Just finished that episode. Shoot me. Started ep 3 but the first five minutes made it clear that I need to take a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Really liked USS Callister and Crocodile, kinda meh on Arkangel, loved Hang the DJ. Might be top 5-ish Black Mirror for me. Glad Tim Van Patten got a good one to direct. Two more to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep the Evicted Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Done. Fantastic season, even better than the last. Even the weakest episode - IMO Black Museum - was still pretty good. But Brooker is really relying on the cookies now. I have it as: Archangel USS Callister Hang the DJ Crocodile Metalhead Black Museum The first 4 are basically all as good as eachother and might change based on how im feeling that day. Also I thought the first story in Black Museum was as good as anything this show has ever done but was watered down by the other two stories which didn't really work for me.

Nictarion Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I’d probably have them: Hang the DJ USS Callister Black Museum Crocodile Metalhead Arkangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll burn up, but he won't die - he'll just be a pile of ash for eternity until Daly decides to let him die. You can't kill yourself in the game normally without his permission. The only way to escape is to go through the update patch and be out of the game's system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of Boston Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Got through four episodes so far. Title says "spoilers," so I'm not tagging any of these. Callister reminded me of the Christmas episode. It was just a small component of the Christmas episode, but it's the part of it that stuck with me the most -- the part with Oona Chaplin cloning herself and using the eClone as a slave. That really messed with me, but it was just a story beat as opposed to the focus of the episode. They really glossed over the mortality aspect of it all in Callister, though. I get why the eClones wanted to off themselves, but the idea that they were real even though they weren't "real" could've been expanded. That fascinates me. Like, if you found out you were just a copy of the real you...? That's fucked up. Would you willingly look for ways to kill yourself, or would you be fixated on finding a way to live, despite it all? Granted, if I lost my dick, I'd probably be willing to fly into a worm hole, myself. Fun episode, though. I thought Arkangel was just okay. Reminded me more of an after school special than anything. Crocodile primarily made me hate white women -- jokes, y'all. Hang the DJ reminded me of San Junipero, in that it was hopeful...? Stay tuned. I was all set to see this one go sideways at the end. Ultimately, what was revving up to be a definite anti-technology episode turned out to be pretty damn pro tech. But the twisted shit is, you can still be uncomfortable with the way the AI manipulated the "algorithm" throughout. This theme is pretty consistent with how I felt about Callister. The show has a knack for not just painting tech as the villain, but literally turning the characters into a "program" for some twisted experimentation in dehumanizing them. I can't even really articulate what I think about it right now, but this is the third time I've noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
