The problem with Black Mirror is that the dystopian aspect is so cartoonish and exaggerated that it's unreasonable...

My main point is this is the only high budget sci-fi anthology series out now and it's written for 8 year-olds.

that's a bummer.

I tried watching the new USS Mcallister episode and was pretty disappointed after like 20 minutes. Went in expecting high concept kino... maybe I left too soon? Was I wrong?

Yep. Perhaps Mark Fisher should have written Black Mirror

I liked every episode but the Giamatti one

wah my ex who I haven't seen in decades died

The problem with Black Mirror is they started putting their leftist mental illness into the stories. Once political propaganda becomes the main point ofnyour story it's over.

TL;DR: The problem is it's "Ted Kaczynski: The TV Show".

Kek

I feel this way about cop shows like NCIS where they're getting into multiple gunfights with cartels and terrorists every single episode. Like, what is the state of America in this show?

Brits have nothing left in their culture but empty cynicism and misery
They'll be a happier people when Sharia Law is imposed and all the Kulturterror ends for good

Let me tell you how all this works: you see, Team America is funded by the corporations, so they fight for the corporations... while they sit in their corporation buildings... and they're all corporation-y... and they make lots of money!

I've watched the first 3 episodes of the new season so far.
Episode 1 was okay, but predictable. Wot if ur wife was a Netflix?
Episode 2 was silly.
Episode 3 was fun.

You are a retard, and Uncle Ted (PBUH) would make a much better show than this crap.

The problem with the show isn't just that it's a Luddite show. It'd be fine if it were just a "technology could lead to consequences" show.

The problem is that the only way the show can articulate how a given technology would be bad is by making the society in which the technology exists extremely dumb and obtuse, ignoring the flaws and drawbacks of the tech so that it's easier to write about the consequences.

For example, even the older episodes had this issue. For example the "Hated in the Nation" episode:

Looks like everything in this hypothetical future society is beautiful and serene. By the way now there are millions of remote controlled robot bees flying around everywhere.

Like lmao I wonder what the plot of this episode is gonna be.

A Ted K written show would be much more nuanced, it wouldn't need to invent an easily can-go-wrong able tech to make some point about society.

I DL the first ep yesterday from piratebay and it was the ep with the prime minister screwing a pig. Who's messing with me, April fools?

What the fuck was the point of the white girl who could control reality? What fucking technology is that? and what was the point? the whole season sucked btw

OP has learned that women are retarded

After a town gets a printing press, everyone decides doing anything by hand is worthless. They printing press food, pets, and eventually people. The main character's family, after he realizes they are imperfect, are replaced by copies made with a human printing press.

Was I seriously supposed to side with the black girl in episode 2 who tormented a girl at school and is then suddenly shocked that she's using her genius to take revenge, and then goes mental and breaks into her fucking house and kills her?

I watched the first 3 and it's kind of tiring when it's all Chekhov's gun every episode.

Just finished episode 4
What happened to the two police officers in Capaldi's flat
They were about to discover the thronglets then we never see them again
When the message was revealed I thought the plot twist was going to be that they shut down his computer

WOT EEF DA ROYAL FAMILEH THIRD COUSIN ONCE REMOVED GOT KIDNOIPPED
AND THE PROIME MINISTA 'AD TAH SHAG A PIG ON TELLY

BLOODY MENTAL INNIT?

It was always garbage, sorry.

when said revenge means tormenting them until they commit suicide then yeah

Good to see BM back to its roots anyway
Glad they ditched the weird fantasy shit they were doing last series with the fucking werewolf and the pajeeta guardian angel episodes, what the fuck was that about?

just watch the USS Calister episode first like normal people, the rest is trash

Why the fuck was the husband doing gross-out shit for a few hundred dollars when she could have opened an only fans and made enough to support them both easily. She was the one with the brain tumor anyway so that should have been the plot of her becoming a whore to make money to stay alive.

It was a poorly explained and ultimately bad episode. The title cards for each day felt jarringly obnoxious and the whole thing had an overwhelming stench of girlboss power fantasy to it.

The problem with black mirror is that it is ham handed jewish propaganda.

I was expecting the husband in the first episode to end up killing himself for like $1,000,000 on dum dummies so she could keep Lux. Seemed to be the way it was going.

So what the fuck was the whole TCKR systems PR stunt they were doing about

because onlyfans isn't as grim as self mutilation
black mirror cares more about how it makes the audience feel than making sense

Just saw the 5th episode with Paul Giamatti and I fucking loved it.
First of all because I loved that penguin shaped, buttery voiced motherfucker like you wouldn't believe, but secondly because it was a fucking great story, told well.
The technology is very secondary but as an oldfag myself that has had a deep loving relationship that crashed and burned badly, it resonated with me deeply.

I also like the first episode (Common People), not as much for the message but both the actors were great in it.

because onlyfans isn't as grim as self mutilation

lmao

Agreed with And I also think it was a harp on streaming as mental self mutilation.
Look at 90% of streamers and you can tell they're not right in the head anymore, because of the amorphous, anonymous chat driving them at least slightly insane by degrading them repeatedly.
I also kek'd at the wife randomly spouting ads. It was funny, but it was sad as fuck at the same time.

because onlyfans isn't as grim as self mutilation

Imagine if psyches had a physical representation. Now imagine 90% of OnlyFans models, just by that representation kinda like in Shallow Hal.
What would you see?
Cripples, amputees, self-mutilated husks.

Germans responded less violently

Twilight Zone was so good. These days we get a single Twilight Zone episode concept dragged out for 4 seasons (eg Severance)

i don't understand how someone that wrote something as good as the entire history of you could fill his episodes with random car accidents as a way of moving the plot along, i've just seen like the second one now and i'm in disbelief at how terrible the writing is, it's like agressively stupid. like i thought okay maybe he's been told to dumb it down for the lowest common denominator maybe, but this is just stupid to a point where he's really discrediting himself, i mean how fucking pathetic is it where you are so lazy and out of ideas that you don't take a step back and realise how dumb it is to keep writing yourself in to corners and inventing contrivance after contrivance to get out. it actually made me feel existential horror to think that when i get old i might actually become this complacent and waste everything i've worked to achieve, that thing miyazaki or whoever it was said about people having 10 years of good creativity is scary to think about

these episodes have 20 minutes of story and end. the dark beast (why is it called that?) episode was just filled with pointless bs and dialogue that went nowhere. you could see everything happening a mile away. i was watching the whole thing thinking exactly what was going to happen 10 minutes before it happened, waiting for it to drag along.

so she kills her and becomes empress of the universe, then what? that's the interesting part of the story, what does she do next, what does it mean for her, does she make amends, was she really just a terrible bully? no idea, just end the episode, i'm bored of writing this bullshit. fucking terrible cancer

Wot if homer had ipad

I read Brooker's interview with NPR today and it convinced me that he's unspeakably fucking stupid and any success he's had has been accidental

they too started killing the thronglets by dropping firebombs and boulders on top of them

The husband should have taken creep shots of her while she was sleeping which gradually got more degenerate.

So basically if the guy didn't randomly and by chance drop some acid, the Thronglets were utterly fucked to be old PC tamagochis because they couldn't learn the basics of writing/speaking our language despite being this complex hivemind.
Noice.

Name 3 Black Mirror episodes where the villain isnt a heterosexual white male

i could suspend my disbelief if they objected or showed any kind of agency at all, but these characters aren't written like human beings at all. they just accept it and go along doing it.

the first episode, do they try and appeal to some kind of medical ethics place? do they contact a lawyer? why the fuck does he murder her instead of just switching off the subscription?????????? IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. OH HE REVEALS HIS IDENTITY AND THE GUY AT WORK RECOGNIZES HIM, FIRST OF ALL YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHO IT IS BECAUSE THE BOTTOM HALF OF HIS FACE IS EXPOSED, BUT THEN WHEN HE CONFRONTS THE GUY SHALL WE NOT GET HIM TO SAY "WELL YOU CHOSE TO PUT YOUR FACE ONLINE? I GAVE YOU THE MONEY, WHY DID YOU DO IT?"

NOPE

JUST HAVE A RANDOM CAR JUST RUN HIM OVER, PLOTHOLE SOLVED!!!!!!!!!

BITCH RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU IN EPISODE 6 BUT NEED HER DEAD FOR THE PLOT TO MOVE ALONG??? HERE COMES ANOTHER RANDOM CAR ACCIDENT!!!!

fuck this hack fraud and his shitty pretentious preachy bullshit when he can't even do the scriptwriting equivalent of tying his own fucking shoelaces

The first 3 episodes of this season

First episode the villain is the corporation selling the brain thing, and their rep is a soulless black woman.
Second episode the villain is a nigress that bullied a genius into oblivion, then gets fucked with and in the end chimps out shoots the genius and steals her shit - and with the power of literal GOD - her first point of order is "im empress now"
The IT'S CINEMA episode doesn't have a villain really, and it's making fun of untalented diversity hires ruining originals with useless remakes.
The one with the pokemons has no villain, the guy is basically saving humanity, and it's a white old guy.
And the one with Paul Giamatti has no villain really. The villain is time and memory...

white woman is the unquestioned ruler of the universe

first thing she does is give herself bbc sex slaves

The one on the left is hwhite. The one on the right is the black chick's bf.

dementiakino with Paul kinomatti

Is it shit? It sounds good but blck mirror has been shit for so fucking long

Of course it is

Not really dementiakino. just time and getting older and losing memories, especially painful ones you try hard to repress.

it's not shit. This season is actually good. Don't listen to these fags, watch it yourself and decide.

it's just utter garbage that doesn't even bear thinking about. he could have just walked in to a police station and shown the QR code to the cctv camera at the front desk. he could have faxed the code, he could have mailed it, he could have done literally anything.

it was written that way so some complete psychopath police officer could be seconds from murdering him before the QR code is scanned. it's just a plot convenience. charlie wanted to get on his soapbox about darwinianism and violence or some bullshit so everyone in the main character's vicinity is a violent psychopath, he doesn't ask for a lawyer who would let him write something because that would actually make sense, he doesn't so he can conveniently tell his story to the criminal psychiatrist. what happens after the code is scanned? what are the implications? charlie doesn't know, he didn't think that far. fucking dogshit

ere mate... wot if we woz all like lemmings or tamagotchis or summink... they don't go killin eachovah over nuffin do dey?

No one is watching your garbage anymore Netflix

it wasn't always a kikeflix show, you must be too young to remember, I'm sure there's people on this site that are the same age as the show.

Retard

Episode 4 implies there's a canon ending to Bandersnatch then, obviously not any of the ones where Colin dies

e1

oi wut if ya bird was a nandos advert

e2

oi wut if tha office bitch could change the cameras

e3

oi wut if ya could play a movie like a vidya

e4

oi wut if ya pokemon took over the world

e5

oi wut if ya could walk around a picture

PLEASE STOP JERKING! I JUST CAAAME!

No, you haven't.

Honestly episode 1 reminded me more of those youtubers who'll randomly segway into a fucking ad midway through their video

where the fuck did capaldi's character get all the money for the computer parts AND acid

DumDummies

The power of tismbux

The funniest part was when they said he kept buying the most powerful parts on the market while showing him buying consoles lol

bongs have zero understanding of tech shit. Probably thought a PS3 was amazing tech. I was wondering when they would show an actual GPU.

he was a pretty respected game journalist before the breakdown, right? Colin chose him to show the Thronglets game to over all other journalist

he probably burned through his savings and then set up the thronglets to do bitcoin or whatever

Wot if-

Episode 3 was fun.

literally San Junipero rehashed for muh LGBT free emmy

trusting this robot to stroke your dick

nah, I've watched enough live leak to be very cautious with things that look like they could cause industrial accidents or mutilations.

nah bro its totally great

ok, whatever. when skynet becomes active and that arms tears your dick off have fun I guess
