might be kind of stupid asking this to a group of people who love it but i want an answer. I don't know what it is about. i thought it was a series of one story. Are the episodes at all linked? I've heard it mentioned before and i knew it had something to do with a distopian future or technology or something. please let me know if its worth watching

I just started watching this show for the first time last night, and I've watched USS Callister, The Entire History of You & Playtest, & I think Playtest was the scariest psychologically but the body horror scene in USA Callister spooked me lol.

I won’t spoil anything for those of you who want to watch it but I did want to discuss how that movie would literally fit Perfect as a 2 part EP. From How it is shot to the actual storyline. I actually would love to see a Black Mirror ep with similar storyline.

I really like listening to songs in English now lately I wanted to know if these songs will go to the party more than I'm thinking these singer don toliver Travis, Kodak Black the bleates etc...

In the end of USS Callister, it seems like Robert is stranded in the simulation as a conscious being but unable to control anything. Also he would be unable to die. For a minute he just drifts in open space as his ship has lost power. And I began to think "my god, that would be so much worse than death. Essentially it would be solitary confinement for an infinite amount of time. 1 week in a spaceship by yourself, with no eating, no drinking, no phone to distract you, no reading, and no other human interaction. That would be rough. 6 months would be hell. 10 years there and you would go insane. But what about year 562? What about the 2,343rd year of just being a conscious being, drifting in space, where nobody talks to you and nothing happens. And you can't go insane because you're just code. You can only be bored and hear silence and talk to yourself. And then it just keeps going on. 10,000 years, 1 million years."

That is truly terrifying. Much, much more so than dying. At the end it seemed like the universe got wiped out by the firewall. But it still showed Robert there sitting in a ship surrounded by complete darkness. So I wonder, is he still in there? Conscious and awake? If so that's even worse. He's stuck inside that ship, without even the spacescape of stars and galaxies to look at. Just darkness. For eternity. Forever. This is why I love Black Mirrir, because it breaks my brain sometimes

What was the point of that whole “don’t turn on the bathroom light” line, had me thinking the story was going towards a more scary route

Now that it's been confirmed that the crew of the USS Callister is coming back, there's one bit of information that I think has already told us a lot about what's happening in one of the three episodes.

Jimmi Simpson is returning, and that's huge because his character was caught in the superheated flame of the Callister's main engines. We literally saw him char.

Simpson himself said during an interview how crazy it would be if Walton had been unable to die due to them being impossible to kill. It actually meshes well with Daly's desire to torture the neural clones of the people he feels have wronged him in the real world, doing whatever he wants to them but they'll always survive the trauma.

So here's my theory:

The first episode of the mini-series will be the crew going on a quest to figure out how to "heal" Walton. Some might be reluctant because of the risks involved, but Nanette, almost certainly continuing with her captain role, will likely guilt the holdouts into helping by pointing out Walton saved all their lives.

Because they're working within the limits of the game, the crew will need to either get help from the outside world (iffy), use the medical bay on the ship (not designed to bring back a dead character), or seek out a ship or starport that offers the hacks/upgrades they need to get Walton back to normal.

What do you all think?

couldn’t nida have just killed herself for the last kill? lol

I want to watch one that's cryptic and rewarding to decipher.

I'm watching black mirror for the first time, and I just completed season 6, ep1 Joan is awful and ep2 Loch Henry, and I love it so much. I will complete the rest of the 3eps for now but I also want to watch more. Do you guys have any recommendations on which episode or what season should I watch? I am really into disturbing stuff or something that has some unexpected twists.

Story was great ending was great and visuals were great. Definitely a top three episode for me. I hated national anthem. I feel as if I have to rewatch it again because I must have missed something. What made that episode appealing?

last night we watched San Junipero... but I told them the next one we watched would be more fucked up..... I REFUSE to watch national anthem again tho

The idea that our existence and consciousness can be uploaded and go on for eternity (or at least until there is no power or that equipment is destroyed) freaks me out in a unsettling way. If the mind is cloned, then is that copy actually us or just computer code? The very last scene with the robotic arm adding the chip and zooming out to see thousands of others especially is unsettling. The idea that one day tech can basically make us immortal, because after all we are nothing without our brain and transferring data from our bodies to a machine just feels off to me.

I know it's not one of the popular episodes, but by far my favorite episode is Nosedive. I revisit it at least once a year and each year it feels more relevant, not only to the state of the world and social media, but more relevant to me personally.

Bryce Dallas Howard deserves a lot of credit not only for her sublime acting here, but for even just taking this role on. It is a highly unpleasant role that emphasizes an ugly side of us, about racking up social influence points and trying to look good in front of others. Something that may be especially relevant to celebrities like her. She may not meant it as such, but feels like she is openly confessing and showing this dark side of her that exists inside all of us.

On each viewing it shines a new facet of self reflection. First, it was about my social anxiety. How in some aspect, my very livelihood depends on being socially adept and always saying the right thing. Later, it made me question my 'good' nature - I am regarded as a kind person - is it as a survival tactic? Has it always been for my own self benefit? To a degree, yes.

I saw it again for the n-teenth time last night. I took a shared shuttle van to the airport for a work trip and as I was getting off, I wished the stranger next to me to have a good trip. I don't know if he replied - I had to navigate grabbing my bag etc - but I felt a bit of hope that me saying this would brighten his day a little bit. I thought what a wonderful thing it is to be able to wish a stranger well. Without the social transaction of a ratings swipe. And it gives me some fear that in the hyperconnected future such a transaction-free act of kindness may be impossible.

I hope anyone reading this, have a wonderful day. Mine is pretty good so far.

I rewatch now the episode for the third time. I think Hector was filming his daughter for the pedo-web. I have this theory. In my opinion Mindy was the name of his daughter online, he posted her photos. You think, when Karen speaks about pijama parties of their daughters (maybe when Hector could take photos again?), or the way Penny (hector's wife) was crying. When Hector returns to home he watches to his daughter sleeping with guilty eyes. Then, Is strange that he wanted kill himself, like many people said. That's because his adultery was a lie, in reality he took photos of his daughter to sell online.

What do you think about this theory? Excuse me for my english, but it's not my mother language

After rewatching Beyond the Sea for a second time since the premier (usually used to skip it) I found out the whole story was loosely based on the Sharon Tate incident that occurred in 1969 and explores how much it psychologically affected his husband Roman Polanski.

Similarities

Roman Polanski lost his wife// David Ross lost his wife.

Roman Polanski luckily managed to survive the attack from the Manson family as he was in London// David Ross was able to do the same since he was also physically in Space.

Same Changes

Roman Polanski lost a child since Sharon Tate was eight-month pregnant when she was killed// David and his wife already had kids (2) and lost them all during the attack.

In an alternate 1969, Manson (Kappa) was there; never sent his followers alone

I watched only the first 3 seasons a while ago, and if I remember correctly these were the most cyberpunk:

• The Entire History of You >!(chip in head to see your life again)!<
• Be Right Back >!(robotic clones of late people)!<
• Playtest >!(loosing boundaries between reality and virtuality)!<

I don't even know what emotion I'm feeling right now, I'm shocked, confused, upset and amazed. Shocked because I can't believe pier died like that is unbelievably upsetting and also the fact that both of Davis' parents were involved is even more bewildering.

I'm confused because why would they ever get involved in such a horrific crime which is obviously standard human instinct, no one should want to get involved in that.

I'm upset because of Davis at the end how he had won the BAFTA and had Stuart calling him and he still hung up cause he was emotionless.

And finally amazed at how good of a storywriter Charlie Brooker is because that episode was unbelievable, got me feeling multiple emotions and I didn't look away from my screen once. Wow.

At the end of Bandersnatch, after watching all options and the credits roll, the cassette tape Stefan listens to plays a series of morse code beeps. These translate to 'Nope. Thanks for watching.'

I tried searching to see if anyone else has mentioned this but could not find anything. Thought it might be an interesting bit of trivia to leave here.

She cheated on her husband multiple times ON HIS BED, and made him raise a child which she wasn't sure it wasn't his (and probably isn't) she is a complete monster.

Yes Liam is no angel, he's completely obsessive and towards the end became agressive but the latter only happened because her wife was fucking another men ON HIS FUCKING BED.

If you think Ffion is the victim of the story, please discuss it with me.

"You will never see her again"

literally gives david the key to seeing her again

surprised when david kills his wife

What the fuck? I loved this episode until the ending. How obvious was it that david called a false alarm just to get cliffs key? Not obvious enough to cliff. Idk what they could've done to make it better but it took away all the power of the ending for me.

The black agent. I noticed that when he pronounced his t’s and said, “worldwide,” it sounded like an english accent so I looked him up and aha! He’s english!

I just thought it funny that they casted an english actor to use the line, “You guys are so British!”

Just a quick thought i had after rewatching, what do you think on this?
