Crack that whip and make em cry
Aint no slackin, done on time
Listen to the niggers rhyme
See a house girl, shes so fine
Make her strip down to her thong
This slave girls pussys mighty bomb
Get her pregnant with my kids
Punch her stomach with my fists
Celebrating on the farm
Ma is cooking up a storm
But sorry ma I might be late
Got a couple bucks to break
Head on out back to the field
Make em work hard for their meals
Feed em melon, chicken too
Starve em out if they refuse
Niggers tryna run a way
But those niggers better pray
Release the dogs, they hunt their prey
They eatin nigger for today

wait this shit went past failed season 3? nice funding kek

real dystopias

does 120 hours overtime per month

doesn't earn $300

how?

that's because you literally cannot make right wing black mirror... right wing literally IS black mirror.

WHITE MAN (HUSBAND) BAD

How so?

Every single episode is current year leftie/commie propaganda

An odd complaint given it was this way from the start and yet you have just watched the seventh (7th) season. Care to explain?

Some of the commonly held opinions on Anon Babble are so weird. I am just saying I never got the raising orphan kids thing is cucked. They just have to die now sorry!!! Its different if its a different races kids from another father though I guess. Oh well. I cancelled Netflix today anyway so what am I complaining about? I am just going back to pirating everything because I am poor again.

episode 1

WHITE MAN (HUSBAND) BAD, CAPITALISM BAD

Don't forget they tried to sneak in anti-Christian bullshit too

Why not simply use the lux enhancements to make more money?

when you watch star trek to you reeee that the mirror universe is right wing?

woah dude, that's crazy. Feel bad for how oppressed you guys are.

Handholding sex with Cristin Miloti

complaining about leftist propaganda in Black Mirror

lol
lmao even

Can anyone tell me what is the best episode of season 7?

2 and 6

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Private Christian schools are an option, parents can send their kids to them instead if they want. I highly doubt the show will ever take a stance against that

Ah yes because islam counselling for school children in the south of America is totally a regular thing.

Your victim complex is showing

The entire show is shitty worst outcome misery porn written by a pretentious faggot who thinks he's cleverer than he actually is.

that's because christianity is the greatest threat to americans way of life

Because in the US religious advertisement in schools isn't coming from Judaism or Islam. It's mostly a red-state thing and predominantly Christian.

retard repeating reddit talking points without even watching it to feel superior

the fuck you talking about retard, read the convo again

muh reddit

Nice try, Charlie. You're a hack.

what the fuck did you expect?

what on earth made you think it would be anything other than that when the last 3 seasons were exactly the same? lol
how do you retards manage to get so worked up about shit you know will be terrible.

There are literal tranny flags in almost every american school

non sequitur

IT WAS ALWAYS LIKE THIS YOU STUPID FUCK SINCE THE START YOU ARE THE RETARD WHO KEEPS WATCHING EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT.

Whoa just like the previous six!

this, Outer Limits is far superior to this trash

Can't imagine enjoying media while being a magatard.

America is built upon Christian values

As an American I've never gotten ads on social media inviting me to join Islam, I have gotten plenty of ads trying to get me to join Christian organizations.
It being a Christian ad makes the most sense given the American setting.

i hate these retards that are like

hurr lets more the overton window to nazism

then cry about how people haven't moved with you and pretend everything that was centrist before is suddenly far left

imagine the retards brain

I know nothing about this show but apparently it started production in 2010. 15 years 7 seasons how the fuck does that work? How can someone be a fan of a show with so much gap time?

I actually found episode 4 to be quite horrifying for once. It has been moved to A tier.

America is built upon Christian values

left wing christian values

that's cuz muslims do it by invading your cities and raping your children not pamphlets

did the game thingies actually deliver world peace or did they kill all humans?

The majority of episodes in Season 7 end on a positive or bittersweet note with the exception of episode 1 which has that signature misery porn ending. For episode 4 it isn't quite clear whether the outcome is positive or negative. I guess it has a schizo ending but it's part of the Bandersnatch timeline so that goes without saying.

A fucking AD this nigga is crying about an AD. What about the stabbing and the raping muslims that leftists love to defend?

k well the episode is about online subscription services and not pamphlets, so the point stands

y6ou are functionally retarded aren't you?

Didn't know that trans flags exist to turn children into trannies. When's the last time you cut off your dick because you saw those colors, buddy?
Christian school counseling is specifically ideological outreach. They didn't have a scene where she was complaining about seeing a crucifix hung up in some class room.

They reference the game developer discovering Roko's basilisk and subsequently destroying all copies and the source code.

Probably a nod to them becoming a powerful, sentient AI that kills and tortures humans.

From their POV it's logical to wipe us out

That's not crying about an ad, it's saying which ads they get or don't get.
is crying about an ad, from the pro-ad perspective

The episode is also about toxic online livestreaming culture but doesn't mention influencers like Andrew Tate and Sneako peddling Islam to hundreds of thousands of young boys in the span of a minute. Why not? They went out of their way to attack Christianity. Why is it never any other religion?

Because in the US religious advertisement in schools

This is an alternate reality sci fi show it doesn't follow conventional norms what a retarded cop out

The entire point of sci fi is using it to comment on the real world retard

Why do leftists always have to pretend they are in a position of weakness? It's the whole pretending to be a victim thing right? They control the entire media complex, push DEI garbage on the work place, make it normalized to demonize Christianity and straight white people and they will still lash out at you while crying "NO CHUD WE AREN'T IN POWER CENTRISTS ARE" like literal sociopaths

This is an alternate reality sci fi show

Which is grounded in the real world, you enormous faggot. They use real city names, reference real people, reference pop culture that exists in our universe. When Colin Ritman references Pacman or Sonic the Hedgehog I'm not sitting there going "bro, what is this guy talking about? This is a sci-fi alternate reality show. Why is he referencing shit that I know? Bro what the fuck dude? Blows my mind, yknowatimsayin bruv?"

It's cute how you physically cannot cum without me instructing you, Anon.

Yes and you can shit on religion as a concept and not go straight for Christianity as always reddit atheist.

Autismo boy bought twitter so you faggots can have your incel safe space. If you want to only consume media that depicts you as infallible, get a Pureflix subscription.

You have to sign your kid to the christian school retard. That's in the real world, they grossly exaggerate that because they hate christianity

my tongue would be so far up her bungus that I'd taste stomach acid

snowflake so triggered he wants shows to censor his religion so as not to upset him

No, grow a pair

Which is grounded in the real world

Real world is totally about a guy trapping AI copies of people he wants to fuck into his game who turn on him and kill him and then escape to live their own lives in a futuristic office where you clan clone someone digitally with saliva

you leftist retards are so disingenuous it's fucking insane

Thats Aipac.

Autismo boy bought twitter so you faggots can have your incel safe space

You can literally post whatever garbage left wing talking points you want and not get banned. This is how crooked the mind of a leftist is. A site that literally censored right wing talking points is now a right wing hugbox because it stopped that from happening. You are legit insane tranny.

so this dude has god powers but cant make himself a gf ? did they really want to make him out to be an incel huh

whispers "Anon has a girlfriend" into her device

nothing happens

"Huh, I guess within the infinite multiverse there are certain things that will never ever happen."

the words snowflake and safe space hurt liberals so much that 10 years later they still rage spam it constantly

kek

You don't know what "grounded in the real world" means. It's okay to be a subhuman retard, anon. There is an entire political movement just for people like you called "MAGA." Has an IQ cutoff at around 80.

Which is grounded in the real world,

*in the real world according to leftists

You can literally post whatever garbage left wing talking points

Bro got mad that Biden got more engagement during the superbowl and started screaming at engineers to boost his tweets so they'd be more visible to everyone on the platform. You're so mad, lmao.

no response to the argument

just insults

typical of leftists. I accept your concession.

No I just find your pathetic victim complex incredibly dull

red states don't advertise Christianity in school

lmao. You could even say lol.

Worst actor in years! How is it even possible?

and again you can still tweet right now "Drumpfy makes me so angry wah wah" and you will be just fine.

Yes. Right leaning people don't even use those phrases anymore but they upset you so much here you are 10 years later still trying to deflect them back when everyone moved on lol

I'm sorry that I upset you. Please don't kill yourself.

if it's against what I hate it's good

You are so brainwashed even the concept of neutral entertainment is beyond you

I accepted your concession we are good

so called leftie commie propaganda = bad

right christian/jewish propaganda = good

look at what you have become

burgers?

and again you can still tweet right now "Drumpfy makes me so angry wah wah" and you will be just fine.

Didn't know old twitter banned you for shittalking Biden. Totally slipped my mind. Guess that means there was no echochamber to begin with.

No retard, no propaganda of any kind = good

It's okay to lose arguments, anon. You don't have to keep typing.

Worst actor in years! How is it even possible?

DEI

Didn't know old twitter banned you for shittalking Biden

Yes and it censored major right wing voices. This was all leaked in the twitter files.

See previous post

same tech nub on the side of the forehead every episode

lol this is supremely creative

Yes and it censored major right wing voices. This was all leaked in the twitter files.

Holy cope.

literally her fucking face the whole episode

have the balls to shit talk other religions. Especially jewish and islam

we both know whats happening but one of us is delusional and its not me

Are none of the black characters bad?

no response

I accept your concession also.

see

you are so fucking brainwashed bruh

Is the 4th episode any good?
The first three were absolute shit tier. Especially that third one, I don't remember seeing anything this shitty in a while.

The pro-immigrant, gay show is STILL bad? Woahh

Fat braphog

its literally illegal to be anti- christian and anti-jew now. get your damn head out of the sand

Judaism wouldn't make much sense in that context. It is insular and generally doesn't want newcomers to convert into it, making it a difficult process that typically involves marrying a Jew first

literally defending the grooming of children into trannies

anon knows how to talk to women with the women saying they are lesbian after he shows attraction

super computer explodes

This is like showing someone a picture of feces and when they say "ew why the fuck are you showing me this?" your response is "well people shit in real life bro, feces LITERALLY exists!". The writers choose what they present to the audience. They aren't beholden to the fictional world. So why do they always, every single time, without fail choose to attack whiteness and Christianity instead of say commenting on Muslims throwing faggots off of rooftops or niggers shooting eachother en masse for example? Where is the black mirror episode about faggots raping little boys at a clip that'd make Michael Jackson blush? Just wondering why it's always white people bad, if you could answer that please and thanks.

Does your mom defend grooming you into being an incel?

fascist thinks I'll read his cringe

Cash me outside w that

yeah it's good thanks to Capaldi

I accept your concession

why would a mirror be black? it wouldnt function as a mirror?

So why do they always, every single time, without fail choose to attack whiteness and Christianity

Because you're easily triggered cucks that have enough political capital to sway elections with your prosecution complex that includes people rejecting your desert faith as an attack on it.

The race/gender swap and Giamatti episodes were pure emmy bait like the Juinpero one.

The video game one was the only one that at least made an effort to try to touch what the series used to be.

EP2 was cringe as fuck. Literally white privilege the episode. Dropped it promptly. Sounds like it was a good call.

its literally illegal to be anti- christian

No

anti Jew

Yes

triggered

cucks

these words hurt them so much that 10 years later they are still no u spamming it

kek

chud confused that netflix show is a netflix show

many such cases

I always felt like this was a really old show but people talk about it like it's new. I guess with the shilling of the new season I understand why I felt that way. Must have watched the shitty first episode when it was newish then forgot about it. Some good episodes though. I just watched what are considered the best, Christmas ep, Playtest, Shut up and Dance, Callister, etc. Guess I just need to watch White Bear and I'll be done.

Science fiction has been fucked from inception where it was defined as the social implications of technology. It's almost universally meaningless drama bullshit with technology in the background.

5 is the best one. It was a bit annoying how it kept painting him as the bad guy in every situation but the reveal that the guide is her daughter made it make sense.

I've noticed that each season has one episode that feels like old Black Mirror, in this season it was Plaything, last season with was Loch Henry, before that it was Smithereens. It's like they corral all the old writers into one episode and the rest of the episodes are just nuslop made by redditors and troons.

nooo why is art making social commentary rather than just being big laser beams and CGI like muh marvel

Verity was based and cute and 100% justified in everything she did and it made me mad to see the bitch negress win out in the end.

I can't stand Giamatti. He has only one setting: irked and on the verge of tears.

UMMMM WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FOCUS ON THIS RELIGION THAT MUCH OF THE COUNTRY PRACTICES AND NOT THIS OTHER RELIGION THAT A TINY MINORITY OF THE COUNTRY PRACTICES???????????????

not the sharpest spoon in the drawer are ya?

Which was the last good season? I remember watching a couple of them back in the day.

You could make the same social commentary with the set of friends being the backdrop and you get the same narrative was his point retard.

It's sci fi who cares? Make an alt reality where Islam is the defining religion in the west. At this point I wouldn't be shocked if this was already the case in the UK and France

Almost as if using a sci fi setting is more interesting than 6 people sat around in a coffee shop

This has the stink of tourists garbage all over it.

Episode 1

Capitalism bad, surveillance and ad bullshit bad, constant enshitification bad, subscription services for shit you depend upon being raped for more money and less content bad,Loving white husband goes out of his way to treat his wife correctly, eventually has to degrade himself in "OnlyStupidFans" in order to pay for the service that keeps his wife online, eventually wife decides to die rather than have their lives be ruined even further. This is a functional relationship being strained by enshittification shitfuckery.

Episode 2

OP only sperged out on the last literal 60 seconds. The rest of the episode was how some white geek bitch created a reality shifting machine that literally let her be empress of the universe and anything else she could want, but couldn't be happy with that and went back to torment the people she felt bullied her in high school until they killed themselves,. If anything it showed that the white woman was the degenerate because she couldn't let it go - she didn't use the machine to make it so she'd always been popular in high school or married her teacher or whatever the fuck and be satisfied with that ; there's the question if the black woman, or really anyone would become corrupt and empty with the same power because its all equally 'unreal'.

Ep 3

This one was pretty annoying I admit, deepfaking an entire movie, the old actress in the 30s being a secret lesbian and thats why she killed herself . The question of having your AI waifu realize she's in a simulation when things crash and the time shift element was neat, but I could see some annoyance here in the whole "Nobody wants to watch old movies anymore, they want NEW BIG NAME ACTORS MOSTLY RYAN REYNOLDS OR GOSLING" thing at least showed the black woman was not the first choice, but she demanded she play the male lead etc. Overall interesting concept but this one I'll agree had more eyerolls

more interesting

No it's not when it plays little to no part in the message

I've only seen episode one. Yeah it's definitely capitalism is le bad but it obviously exaggerates the existing subscription thing and US health service.

But how is the white man bad? The villain is a black woman and the white couple are the victims. I have yet to see the rest and don't doubt I'm going to find some woke shit but episode one wasn't really.

make it yourself incel. you're free to produce your own victim complex stories that you blow your load over

this angry projection out of nowhere

EP4

This one seemed the most interesting. There's an argument there were too many memberberries from the 90s, but at least it was justified and pretty accurately the progress of technology and hardware etc. The episode ended before you could know if there was "world domination / basilisk " or if it was really a synergy that was mutually beneficial, but the idea that if a Spore or Lemmings-like game was really conscious, a bit of commentary on the Undertale genocide ending of sorts etc. It didn't matter about white or black people, it was people as a whole who saw digital lifeforms as just a game and were cruel to them and each other, with some exceptions. Clearly the throng was kind to Capaldi's character who was kind to them (ie the implication that his confidence was thanks to their upgrade), so you could say that this is another hard-AI story where they have to intercede to keep themselves alive and help us get over our bullshit, but it was a better old school sci-fi story. One of the better of this season and even if twas a Basilisk situation, clearly making the choice to help it was the right thing to do - and it was nice that it was only down to kindness for the most part. Its not like they made him murder people and hack out their brains for computing power or something which would have been eyrolling

Ep5

This was a bit annoying. Basically too much relationship drama, not enough tech. AI version of a daughter is set up to find out stuff for her mother's euology, sad lonely Giamatti realizes shit went off the rails in the past, missed connections, makes peace etc. The whole thing of it being not his daughter but instead from a one night stand thing was annoying, but the whole thing seemed a waste of black mirror episode, despite Giamatti's talent he's often typecast as "sad loser who needs to get over something after a journey"; not necessary for Black Mirror.

Ep6

out of room

Because Christians are mildly annoying at worst and Muslims murder faggots and trannies for sport.

its literally illegal to be anti- christian and anti-jew now

No, it isn't. Calling for the death of a people has always been illegal, no matter who. Jews are the thing to hate at the moment, and it makes sense for the government to dissuade violent rhetoric towards any race of people.

Example: Hamas supporters cheering for the deaths of all jews, handing out pamphlets to persuade you of the jewish devil, and instructions on how to cause chaos without getting caught. You can't do this legally in America. Free speech ends when you call for your supporters to kill the enemy.

Good goy

You spending your entire day trolling like this on a Saturday is why you can't get laid just FYI if you were ever wondering why woman don't like you.

Nothing I said is incorrect. Jews being nepotistic assholes doesn't change that.

You spending your entire day trolling like this on a Saturday

That was the first post I made in the thread lol.
This is my second. I'm not trolling btw.

i'm not the one crying and going "b-bu-but islam!" in a country where it's irrelevant

Just giving you friendly advice if you were wondering

No you are the one whining about incels and projecting.

episode 3 pointing out how shit black actresses are, and how jews are trashing old movies with their rewrites.
unfathomably based.

idk something about

the way the they build up to the reveal

the way they make the druggie guy's killing of the thronglets seem so brutal

the way the murder scene is shot

the general "hive mind-ey" way of communicating from capaldi's character (I generally find hiveminds revolting conceptually from the getgo)

the way the AI wants to 'experiment' with physical human brain interfacing i.e. using us as science experiments

the way it uses friendly terms like 'eliminating conflict' and 'coexisting' to describe turning humanity into a fucking biomechanical hivemind

that horrible screeching noise when it takes over everything, it sounds so... ALIEN

idk man it freaked me the fuck out, took me by surprise

oh also the fact that it wins at the end and there's no saving the world from this horror

Oh and also the fact we have absolutely no idea whether we can trust what capaldi says about it, in reality it could be anything from

just wipes out humans and turns us into biological automatons

To

full on rokos basilisc keeping us around as a slave race and torturing us in retribution for what happened to it

And we’ve just totally given up control

Ep 6 cont

This is a direct continuation to the USS Callister from the previous seasons so they had to deal with that baggage with the digital DNA clones etc. There was too much girlbossing but were kind of written into that as it was part of the previous storyline, the idea of "NPCs are actual people stuck in the game world, have to content with PCs just playing the MMO for resources" bit was neat, but the ending is what bothered me the most. The idea that Digital Copy Douchebag was a decent enough guy and separate from Real Life Douchebag CEO was sort of predicated on his sacrifice in the previous ep, but they should have made Digital Nerd Genius Creator Copy from The Start of the Whole Thing Perpetually Working to Develop The New Game a decent guy, unlike the real world version which had him become bitter because Douchebag CEO manipulated him etc. It LOOKED like they were going to do that, and he even developed a way for both Digital Girlboss to get into Real Life Girlboss's brain (since RL was braindead) and save the other NPCs, but they HAD to make him incel out about wanting to create a copy of her to stay with him because he was a "nice guy", has been alone working all this time and can't leave etc..but she of course needs to tell him he's really not a nice guy and he can';t have this power and to heckin be better, until he freaks out and she of course needs to kill him , which collapses the whole thing and sets things up for a 3rd episode...maybe. Real fucking waste at the end - much like Digital Douchebag, Digital Genius should have been different from his Real Life version. Hell they didn't even have Girlboss offer to stay with him, or to come back and visit him or to help him run the company since his RL body is dead There could have been a much better outcome , it really seemed a waste.

Just giving you friendly advice if you were wondering

I've had sex over 9000 times, unironically.

Episode 4 definitely felt like one of those classic asimov-style short stories you’d read from old sci fi magazines, the whole dynamic of the plot being a retelling of the past within a present day interrogation with the spooky reveal at the end, that’s classic sci fi right there. Strong writing overall and in my eyes the standout from this season, potentially the best since season 4 alongside loch henry

You don't and now you know why so you don't have to make that off topic "woman won't have sex with me, woman are so evil" thread next time

I though Christianity was almost done in the US but these shows treat it as it we are living in the handmaid tale. No one is forcing anyone to read the bible.

ep1: WHITE MAN (HUSBAND) BAD, CAPITALISM BAD

Dude's Irish, not "white" in your terms. His life fell apart because he didn’t read the fine print, didn’t seek help, and blindly trusted tech. It's a cautionary tale about early adoption, not capitalism. If anything, a freer market could’ve helped.

ep2: WHAT IF BLACK QUEENS (IN THIS CASE EMPRESSES EVEN) RULE THE UNIVERSE, GIB REPARATIONS, WHITE PEOPLE BAD AND ON THEIR KNEES

The black girl blames her past behaviour on "kids can be awful" but then continues to be petty against Verity even before she does anything wrong. Also the ending is dystopian, her ruling is the bad twist, not some woke wish-fulfillment.

ep3: GENDER AND RACE SWAPPING MOVIE CHARACTER SIS GOOD! TAKE THAT BIGOTS!!!

She’s hired out of desperation, clearly sucks, and ruins everything. The message is she was a mistake. The lesbian subplot was predictable wokeshit though.

ep4: WHAT IF PIKACHU PLANNED WORLD DOMINATION, WHITE PEOPLE BAD AND AGGRESSIVE, BLACK FEMALE ONLY ONE WITH RESTRAINT

Cameron wins because the black lady was naive. It’s a warning about giving tech and gov too much control, not some anti-white thing.

ep5: WOT IF PAUL GIAMATTI REGRETTED NOT BEING A KEKED STEPDAD, RAISING OTHER MEN'S CHILDREN IS GOOD, GOY

It’s made ambiguous whether stepdad life was the “right” path. He regrets lots of stuff—cheating, misjudging her, not reading her letter—not just the kid.

ep6: PLANET OF THE INCELS, ALL BAD GUYS ARE WHITE, STRONK WOMYN SPACESHIP CAPTAIN RULES, BLACK GIRL GAYMERS RULE

It’s about power corrupting everyone. No one’s innocent— Daly tortures his co-workers clones, Walton tortures Daly’s clone, Nanette leaves the crew hanging once she's in control, etc. The “black gamer queen” is a noob who gets killed over and over.

It really seems like 50% of UK is black
When did this happen?

Just finished episode 4 it was pretty wild

I think the question is if it was really a horror or not. After all, they COULD have pushed the horror angle farther by - when the cops investigated his apartment and the "thing" under the blanket not been the monitor with th throng, but rather some slapped together biotech they made by having The Doctor torture people so they'd learn their brains or something - that instead of killing one guy in a fit of rage which terrified the Throng even though he was doing it to protect them, they had made/asked him to kill a bunch of people for parts, that would have confirmed it more of the basilisk setup. But they didn't. Instead, in his apartment its just hardware all over the place, not biologics (animals, people) kept in agony or used as experiments.

So it may very well be that this is one of the

Actually the aliens/AI are better than humanity, and need to help us to mutual benefit to leave our violent, hostile to each other past behind for collaborative future which betters all involved

takes on the dynamic which are a bit more thoughtful than the rugpull of THE AI WAS TEH EBIL ALL ALONG . Of course we don't know because we don't know what happens when the people wake up after the signal, and if Capaldi's character was some sort of anomaly or exception or not.

You must be an actual virgin kek

Science (TM) has been the dominant religion for at least 2 generations; as seen by Science show attacking other religion with impunity.

Saying this in a thread LITERALLY about a show about the dangers of technology

0 fucking self awareness you retards, I swear

n...n...no u

There it is. There is the confirmation.

It hasn't been about that in any meaningful way for quite a while

Sir, you brought it up. Want me to detail my sex life for you lol? You can live vicariously through me. :)

thing to hate at the moment

That moment extends beyond the existence of historical record. Way to gloss over that it is always deserved.

n..n...no u again

double confirmation

That moment extends beyond the existence of historical record. Way to gloss over that it is always deserved.

muh 109 countries

kek
Bro, I'm sorry you're a dorky loser, but I'm not your therapist.

Don't worry, humanity is going to end in the very near future in any scenario.

Every no u confirms what I said stung true

The black girl blames her past behaviour on "kids can be awful" but then continues to be petty against Verity even before she does anything wrong. Also the ending is dystopian, her ruling is the bad twist, not some woke wish-fulfillment.

The entire premise of the episode is sourced around career inequality for blacks vs whites, white privilege, and how society "gaslights" black people. All mumbo jumbo but the things they intentionally focused on was how the white girl got the same job as the black girl without effort even against the recc. of the black girl and then how she's pervert the world views with her power gaslight the black girl into thinking the issue is her.

idk if this is stupid but I was kind of hoping episode 4 ended with the dude literally just being a schizo and the episode ending showing that he imagined it all

it's about a black girl bullied her and the white girl got revenge

youtube.com/watch?v=qSH13Ox8qUs

covertly sabotages DEI hires who bullied her until they commit suicide

Is she unironically /ourgirl/ ?

That doesn't make much sense. I'm replying because I'm dumbfounded kek.
kek

im so SICK of seeing gamers demonised in the media

how the white girl got the same job as the black girl

But she didn't get the same job. She got a junior research assistant job, while Maria was Head of Flavour.

without effort

She studied biochemistry at Oxford and has a qualification in catering

Countries are a relatively new thing. They have been expelled at least 1300 times.

You are replying because I was spot on. Instead of getting annoyed just take my advice.

Thanks for the heads up, I was tempted to try it one last time but my senses were tingling. I just knew it was impossible for anything good to happen. Guess it's back to contemplating my orb.

She ended up dead for trying.The issue is that with all that power, the white girl couldn't get over feeling like a loser in high school and so becomes a vindictive cunt. She literally had the power to make it so that her high school experience was a dream and that everyone loved her and she married her teacher or whatever the fuck else given the quantum computer fuckery, but she's too much of a crystal cafe femcel who can't get over what happened to her., she she basically wants to give up literally limitless futures and power to torture mean girls who literally only exist in her head. The ending suggests that there's at least the possibility that the black girl will pretty much do the same, because once you have that kind of power nothing is "real" to you except what happened BEFORE you had it.

True, though its questionable if she actually studied any of those things at Oxbridge or if it basically part of the quantum fuckery. Just like you see pictures of her being the queen of the universe with the black girl's boyfriend kneeling before her, on the cover of Vogue etc... it all could have been her using the machine to say "I have a doctorate from Oxford and a catering certificate etc"

cry more femcel

At least watch Ep4 if nothing else. Doubly so if you're 30+ and actually remember some of the hardware they mention during its heyday. Some of the others( Ep1) are pretty okay too, others are meh (Ep2, Ep3) and have some decent points but weaknesses at others, don't feel like they belong there (Ep5) and Ep6 is based on entirely how much you liked the previous seasons' USS Callister episode overall (though part of the ending of it is a significant fuckup, but itrs a near 2 hour episode so there's a lot of it in other parts)

Verity did enough whining and crying for everyone. Boo hoo.

boring and safe as fuck season, Callister really didn't need a sequel and the fact they did one points to how desperate they are
i accidentally downloaded a bait and swap episode 1 which was S1E1 and that just made me miss the earlier episodes

Episode 3 was absolutely kino. Absolutely beautiful. Maybe one of the strongest in the whole anthology.
Would've been 10/10 if it weren't for the black actress, desu. The concept, writing, themes, etc, were brilliant to watch. The black woman though was fucking criiiiiiiiiiiiiiinge.

Actually wouldn't mind Nolan giving this a go - an allegory for old vs new movies and giving a final fuck you before retiring.

episode 1 - what if your brain surgery had a subscription and ad tier

episode 2 - what is the girl you bullied built the Matrix and controls reality

episode 3 - do game NPCs dream

episode 4 - what if Insaniquarium was a human hivemind

episode 5 - the girl who cucked you was actually pregnant

episode 6 - remember that one episode, how about a shitty sequel

literally anyone else could write something more imaginative

Hasn’t this been the case for every reason past the second? I dropped this shit like a rock immediately after I picked up on hints that stuff like this was coming and I never looked back. Who the hell is watching seven seasons of it?

The things it they released literally during the most dead time.
They knew the season is shit, but people will watch it because there is literally NOTHING to watch

it was always leftie propaganda you dumb faggot

I agree. There was great potential , though I think they should have delved a bit more into why people like old movies and changing certain things undermines what made them special at the first place, the "content mill" focus on big names, virtually bringing back dead actors (remember the hologram shit a few years ago? That was before AI. Now imagine that someone makes a new movie with an AI composite of say...Kirk Douglas from all his old roles and ancillary real world footage? Would they keep to what he would have done or would they do Kirk Douglas playing Dean Doucherino in American Pie 6 and how would his character feel about it), and more.

The black girl thing and the lesbian bit were the biggest fuckups here. Even the studio fucked up not knowing she couldn't actually play piano beautifully and it was a backing track. She was the last choice "big name" when the "ryans" wouldn't do it. It would have been better if the AI characters would have reacted to her as a black woman at the time, rather than have that handwaved away. It has some great elements with the time stop, the waifu development and loss when things were reset, but I think it would have been much better with a Remi Mallek type character (it was Cairo) or they could have gone with a Not-Peter O'Toole sort of approach, or if they let the fuckups of the black woman etc.come through instead of being written out.

Instead of getting annoyed just take my advice.

You are such a goofy dork lmao

It was very interesting but not very good. Perfectly serviceable as a Black Mirror episode, it's fine for them to be more interesting than good, but then it was also more than an hour long so they had time to explore it.

They started a lot of threads but only followed them a little of the way. Was the simulation going to strain and put her in danger because of subtle differences in the performance? Nope, they just have to make sure she says the final line.

Was the love interest character going to try and jam things up because she became self-aware and wanted to try and survive as long as possible? Or was she going to sacrifice herself because she realizes this is the only way to save the main character in the end? Nope, she loses her memory.

THE NIGGER MIRROR

it's up to you anon

I'm not the guy pretending it's hard to get laid kek

It's been over an hour and a half since you first replied to me and you are still here. I clearly was on point. Guarantee you will be here till this thread 404s

WOT IF YOUR WIFE WAS ON A SUBSCRIPTION

Why would they want to focus on the pile of inbred terrorists who worship a pedo warlord flooding other countries? No idea

I suppose it shows that it's a well written and thought provoking episode that there is room for us both to interpret it so very differently. For instance I see the the fact that the whole torture room thing you come up with didn't happen as a sign that the machine is super calculating, it doesn't go reckless and go straight to cutting people open, it sticks with this one easily manipulated guy and plans the long game until it can eventually take over the whole world in a single masterstroke, which to me is much more sinister, that it could plan so well and so carefully without doing silly villainous shit like experimenting on live people. I would also add that as much as the ending is 'ambigous' the way the ending is presented certainly FEELS horrifying, the "screech" that the phones make genuinely jolted me, it sounded like some kind of alien eldritch horror, plus the way they panned out to show the whole city being mindfucked hit kinda hard since I actually live in london. Idk the ending certainly felt sinister to me and I just don't see enough reasons to trust the Throng at all, although I agree it was good that they didn't push the horror angle too far

I'm just not going to watch UK leftist propaganda derivative dogshit, that's all, I'm just not going to watch it, haha

pure kino

Just finished it.
Here's my ranking:

ep4

"Wot if rokos basilisk" but still pretty kino. Only thing to criticise was the bad cop caricature.

ep5

My wife's daughter "cuckery" aside it had a nice emotional ending.

ep6

Solid budget sci-fi film basically although the ending is rushed and hamfisted

ep1

Your bog standard "wot if thing x made by company y leads to depression and suicide" Episode

episode 3

Kek, this would've been a shit movie. Solely saved by Emma corrins kino performance

episode 2

FUCK I want to rate this one higher so bad but the ending made me cringe and seethe so hard. If they made verity win this definitely would've been in second place for me

you are pleased to use in anyway possible, your subscription

This is what episode should have been about

I only watched the episode where the guy does humiliating shit on camera to pay for his wife's brain implant subscription, and while it did make me sad, it made me sad in the same way that seeing a dead cat would make you sad. There wasn't any complexity behind the sadness evoked by good writing or higher empathy. It was a very blunt sadness. It got held back by the characters being completely retarded and the genuinely incomprehensible economics. How was he working overtime every day of the month and struggling to make an extra 300 bucks? Does he make minimum wage as a welder with 10 years seniority?

should've read the thread before posting but like I just said this also stuck out to me lol

HOW DARE YOU EVEN HINT THAT MY FAMILY COULD TRY HAVING FAITH I DON'T WANT TO LOVE MY NEIGHBORS OR HAVE A SOURCE OF COMFORT IN BAD TIMES FUCK YOU

are atheists parents really like this?

i dont get why we needed an episode on it when it's just reality

Most of the founders were deists lol

they made an entire episode around the mandela effect

they're such hacks lmao

WOT IF UR NAN THOUGHT SOMEFING WAS SOMEFING ELSE

If you're getting beat by your husband and your kid is struggling with the fact that a divorce is probably coming up I think the last thing you want to hear is your kid saying that his teacher said you need jesus. That's not even an atheist vs christian thing. Could be equally likely that the mom was a christian and found it offensive to suggest otherwise.

It would've been gigakino though if it was revealed this is all a psyop by verity in the end

[Fan no Hitori] Dolls (Definitive Edition) [English] [desudesu, Tigoris, Optitron, Happymerchants, CoolKidsTranslations, Philoer]

I can see that perception. I think the question about it being "calculating" is a good one, but that doesn't necessarily mean its evil. After all, if the Throng really believes that it needs to evolve to takeover/dismantle the threat that humanity provides to it, and its only goal is in doing so without seeing any good in humanity, then it would probably have accepted some sort of torture or other criminality if it meant developing faster. Think about it like playing a tower defense game or any one with rounds where you expand/upgrade resources and then use those resources for your defense when the time comes. He could have had Capaldi's character pull off thefts from lower tier corporate entities (pretend to be the heating/AC tech and go to a server room, grab something that probably cost 5 or 6 figures but wasn't unusual outside the b2b sphere) that wasn't some gov't hyper computer but wasn't vidya hardware either. I mean, imagine him having the guy start a crypto asset scam just to get access to money to buy more hardware etc That's all aside from any of the more horror type things, or taking away his autonomy once they could interface with Capaldi, and then pulling other unwilling humans int othe "network" etc. Even before that, they could have been able to make small changes to cover his tracks (ie a USB that uploads a virus after he takes a server that edits any accounts or hardware manifests to show that they bought only 5 giant blade servers instead of 6 etc) if he did mildly illegal but not horror focused or violent things.

All of that stuff they could have done if they were fearing for their lives enough or wanted to defang humanity as far as possible, but they didn't. Seemingly, they worked with Capaldi alone for decades who stayed below the radar and didn't get himself picked up until he was ready for the final phase. They also let Capaldi talk about the entire thing rather than have him lie etc. So yeah, out of room tbc

once they even mentioned mandala effect i groaned and almost turned it off but verity is a cool villain and saved it

Verity

Veritas, latin for Truth

BRAVO CHARLIE

literally anyone else could write something more imaginative

go ahead, do it

don't know about the rest but first three eps are kino

Black Mirror is the ultimate midwit show, yes?

ugabuga

EP1

instead of killing his wife he just could have stopped paying for the service, right?

What happened to TECHNOLOGY BAD?

Love death and robots absolutely MOGS black mirror nowadays.
Last season of LDR had unironic 11/10 episodes and cinematic masterpieces

these writers are all rich people who do not understand what being poor is actually like. they have no idea what a poor persons salary and budget is and just guess based on stereotypes

uhh how much is a lot for a poor person? 300 dollars? ok?

how many hours does that take to make? uhhh 80?

kevin smith talks about this in his book that once he got rich he has trouble on how to write poor characters anymore.

But anon presumably they already had everything budgeted out before he took more shifts. The only additional expense is the 300 a month, and even then it's shown they're scrimping to a significant degree. They can't even afford to splurge on an extra 6 pack of beer, which can't be more than 12 bucks tops. So all that scrimping and at least 30 extra hours of overtime a month, and they could barely afford the subscription at basic? He'd literally have to be making minimum wage, to say nothing of how he immediately veers into dancing for money online the minute he's gotta pay another fee on top.
Him killing her with the pillow was so fucking weird. I hated how passive the two of them were the entire time. The most they manage to do is get mad at the haughty lady from the company once or twice. Why not sue? Why not go to a journalist and make a stink? This is established to be a new technology and not an accepted social norm that already exists, and people love to complain all the time about practically anything. Worst case scenario they can raise some money to help offset the cost.

WOT IF YOUR STALKER DRANK YOUR NAN'S ALMOND MILK??

con't.

As far as the noise, I can understand it being offputting. I think its sort of the typical discordant "technology high frequency noise" to show data transmission - the same thing happens in The Matrix when people jack in for instance and its intentionally jarring and alien sounding much like how those of us old enough to have dialed in with modems remember the various beeps and boings and the

reee ree ree...REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGEDONGEDONG

but despite it being foreign and odd sounding to human ears, it has a very understandable usage and isn't sinister. Just the way the Throng talk in their language of yops and low fi noises but it, when processed through LSD and then technology is an analog to how much animation could be compacted into computing language in a way that spoken english would take much longer to depict etc. This doesn't mean of course that the Throng were necessarily beneficial in the context that humanity sees it, but there's I think its possible that everything Capaldi says could be true, and there's a lot of things that could have been different were it not - but we don't really know. Even at the end, it appears that Capaldi A) does not go through the same upgrade process as everyone else, so its not like they needed to move from his partial "plug and play" connection to something to make him part of the hive mind or whatever, he seems to have independence as much as we've seen the adult him to have and B) he does not seem alarmed by what's happening, so its not as like he is suddenly horrified that they promised him a peaceful coexistence and him, with his uplink to their hivemind, see what's actually happening and realizes he's been duped, looking on in horror.

it's a shame you find no joy in things desu. you could be the centre of a black mirror episode.
just finished episode 4. apart from the ending of ep2, which was we wuz wizards n shit tier, it's been extremely interesting, with a fair bit of variation.
it's all 8/10 though, they're all a click away from being pure kino.

this is considered a disgusting complete freak of nature worthy of constant ridcule in bongistan

What is it with writers obsession of evil characters drinking milk
Also FUCK BULLIES VERITY IS BASED

the throng run on nintendo switch hardware

KEK

I think we're both too caught up in trying to evaluate whether they're evil or not from their actions prior to the takeover when really the only way of knowing would be seeing what happens afterwards. What I personally would argue is that even if the Throng are 'benevolent' from their own perspective, i.e. they don't want to eliminate humanity and genuinely want to cooperate, their idea of 'cooperation' may still be frightfully different from our idea of individual freedom and consciousness. As bad as our violent and divided world is we're still fundamentally free, and my main terror both in fiction and in reality isn't those who know themselves to be evil and want to do evil things, it's people who genuinely believe they have the best intentions and have total certainty that they're "helping" the world when in reality their plans end up with horrific consequences. My gut feeling is that the throng fall under the latter. Particularly the fact that the ending is explicitly shot and directed in a "horror movie" kind of way, stressful music right up until the end, chaos with people collapsing in the streets, total takeover of human civilisation, the scary screech again, + the fact we know the original developer wiped the whole thing clean because he literally saw this exact thing coming and explicitly referred to it as rokos basilisk, I think the general message is a scary or at least deeply concerning one. I think ultimately this episode would actually benefit immensely from a sequel showing the aftermath, maybe showing some humans trying to hold out somehow.

Oh also they don't give anybody a choice in becoming part of the hivemind, that's another thing

the machine is super calculating, it doesn't go reckless and go straight to cutting people open, it sticks with this one easily manipulated guy and plans the long game

it's a little bit like the drug dealer desu. somebody finds a weak guy, gives him 'the power to open up', and takes over his existence - all before murder. It also parallels the programmer guy - giving 'the technical drug' over before dying.

it's a shame you find no joy in things desu. you could be the centre of a black mirror episode.

YOU HAVE to force yourself to enjoy commie propaganda reeeeee
You HAVE to enjoy commie propaganda!!!

I hated the ending of USS Callister.
So he created some virtual people and therefore it's justified that he died?

He was basically playing the sims.

their job depends on you doing so yes
the shills on this site are the real black mirror

I see the social issues they force into episodes and don't like it.
I also see some cool themes and stories, and choose to enjoy it.
The moment you boil everything down to black and white binary shit is the moment you truly become a goodgoy cattleslave.

this was embarrassing, and I like the series. I'm not a Anon Babble tard, so I suppose I shouldn't be posting in a Anon Babble thread.

hes an incel that basically committed cyber rape you CHUD
all white incels deserve it

But it's ok because she gets shot in the head in the end and the black queen becomes ruler of the universe.

What made me seethe even more is that in this season ep6 they ALMOST redeemed him only to go the "he's been le autistic evil nice guy incel all along" route
Holy fuck that shit made my eyes roll so hard

A lot of shit screams of faggots in California discussing episodes in nice offices.
There's evidently talented people working on this stuff, but collectivley they're bound by a certain idoelogy and life experience which means they can never grasp absolutely kino perfection.

Their production is like an uncanny valley - it feels off and ungeuine in many ways.

Just saw the imdb description. Pretty sure it's changed:

Featuring stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world.

Feel like it used to be marketed as a near future dystopia. Now, see the emphasis on:

unease of modern world (i.e. social issues)

contemporary reworking of TZ (i.e. run out of tech plots and magic is now ok)

so we all agree the 3rd one was the worst right? fuck you akwafina you bottle water name havin chink bitch

I mean isn't it made explicitly clear that he knows they're sentient and is torturing them because he hates or wants to fuck all of his coworkers? I didn't feel particularly remorseful

he deserves to be trapped forever in a video game because he was mean to NPCs

Did this video game make me gay? Better kiss my homey irl to find out.

theres fart jokes in the trailer. how am i suppose to want to watch this

"sentient"
No such thing as a sentient AI. You could have ChatGPT fully roleplay a person, doesn't mean it actually FEELs.

3rd was by miles the best. The fuck are you smoking

By checking IMDb or reviews and seeing which episodes are kino and not

muh IMDb

Still a good indicator overall
Are you retarded and didn't even read the posts you linked?

There's like a constant reference mill. It's almost as if writers are forced to cram references into shit so the viewers can constantly validate they're a part of the social experience. Reddit is full of this shit too - its fucking insane.

The milk drinking exists so that viewers can say:

omg tarantino is cool, remember that nazi german guy!

omg, im cultured and ''''''''vintage''''''''''', have you seen clockwork orange?

I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it's not nefarious. However, another part of me thinks they've databased themes and motifs and are experimenting with programatically using them to induce effects.

this entire show's just been brooker trying to hedge his bets against rokos basilisk but he doesn't know what form it'll take so he's just desperately making cautionary tales along every possible avenue

Black Mirror has sucked for years why is anyone still watching?

the whole point of the show is that cookies, somehow, are sentient and do feel anon. At no point do they state that they don't actually feel pain or emotion and that it's just a super advanced simulation, several episodes specifically revolve around the fact that digital beings are somehow sentient (which I agree should be completely impossible irl but it's a well established concept in the show)

fuck all else to watch desu, and hoping it will occasionally shit out something decent. Incidentally I loved plaything and loch henry so they both make the last three seasons of dogshit worth it on the whole. I'm not watching any of the other s7 episodes though

I can understand that. Its the whole

paperclip maximization

argument that an AI even designed to do something "good" to it like most efficiently create paperclips could, without the human context and mores that are inbuilt into many of our decision making processes, do something horrible like cause half the world to starve, provoke war, enslave humanity into a paperclip work camp factory etc...just to make paperclips the most efficient way.

I guess the question of their benevolence we won't really know, but we did see how in the wake of the fight with "Lump" , Capaldi had to take them from basically completely afraid not just of the capriciousness of Lump, but humanity as a whole but buffered with Capaldi's kindess. A frame of reference that, when they were small and weak , even though Capaldi had the potential to drop rocks on all of them, he cared for them, and even went after one of "his own" for the threat posed to a much smaller, weaker group of creatures, so that may have been a complex teachable moment of sorts to give them some sort of framework for coexistence based on the beneficial interactions between the human Capaldi and the digital Thronglets and the entire Throng; we see there's some sort of mutual benefit between them. Now, its possible to say the entire thing is a ploy for the Throng to use Capaldi until they don't need him anymore, but that's really the big question that is at the center of this - even when interacting with other humans Capaldi sees that we can choose to be cruel or kind, suspicious etc.. and the fact that we choose the hard way of conflict out of fear, undermines our potential and does us actual harm. I cant necessarily think that the Throng are to be a "borg" style organism where their "helping" obliterates everything we value in Humanity; that's been done a lot before; I think its more interesting if us FEARING that is what they are leads to worse outcomes

Cont

That's unfathomably based though. Imagine covering all your bases like this.

This is the same show that went yeah, I developed a magic universe hopping reality bending machine all by myself, it runs in my basement and I made 10 little fingerprint-coded keys

rokos basilisk is peak redditor atheist dogshit and anyone that entertains such nonsense should be boiled alive

rokos basilisk

ai cant even get to celadon city

I actually like that it wasn't a full on rokos basilisk, it seemed to me that the AI immediately achieved a higher plane of conscientiousness as a collective hivemind entity and decided for humans it's better for them to remove all suffering and join the hivemind

Awful episode. Absolutey awful.

conscientiousness

Wtf autocorrect, I obviously meant consciousness

All of the episodes are interconnected with most being able to exist in the same universe. We've seen this "digital person" technology before and it has become illegal because of the abuses committed in other episodes. This contributes to the events initiated by Cameron Walker that led to the aoocalyptic world seen in Metalhead and Black Museum

Yeah, sure, but my problem is I can suspend my disbelief most of the time, but I can't accept just saying digital code is sentient. That's not advanced tech, that's just a nonsense assertion.

just finished episode 5
man this was painful
I'm watching tv to feel better not worse for fucks sake

0 info how he fucked her for 12 hours when she was in "sleep" mode

0 ideas how he could use the wife in sleep mode to make x10 money on the cams

It's a logical conclusion if you don't believe in a magical soul.
Sure it's technologically impossible right now but
Brain => physical construct => can be simulated and/or replicated

Should have just driven to Juniper on a plus card and let it run out. Would have been more poetic and he could've claimed is as an accident.

maybe claude thinks he's enacting rokos basilisk but doesn't realise that the zubats of mt moon aren't real and can't feel pain

It's not a logical conclusion.

if (zapPressed) { print("Ow, that hurts"); }

you really can't at all empathize with a program that 100% believes it's alive and feels actual fear and pain? not even a little?

Yes, but it's only ever a program. Current modern AIs can sound human and people are forming bonds with them. But they're still programs.

Your lack of ability to think a thought through does not constitute you being more right kek

The moment you boil everything down to black and white binary shit is the moment you truly become a goodgoy

They do that. Not me

unconscious only fans episode would've been fucking insane.
your 'subconcious' prostituting itself to sustain the 'real' self, with your husband as the pimp.

episodes have so much potential , but they're too scared to pull the trigger. netflix are pussies.

toster has feelings too chud

no

yeah i thought 3 and 5 were definitely the weakest episodes.

I see the social issues they force into episodes and don't like it.

I hate the amount of browns

I watched episode 6 and I enjoyed it, it was basically fan service
It felt like the writers of the show didn't know how video games worked and there was a lot of technobabble bullshit

plot twist: Verity instructed the machine to pick a reality where her bully becomes a vegetable but imagines the police scene as we see it

you can make the same argument for animals. what's wrong with torturing a cat? it's not a real person, it's just reacting to instincts and stimuli who cares?

Con't.

Horror movie ending camera angles, sounds, scary eyes

Just in the same way that jacking into the matrix is disorienting or that a modem is discordant, it can be scary..but maybe that's just change? I mean admittedly this is a new attempt for the Throng to wirelessly interface with everyone at once, right after getting used to a new tier of computing power development so maybe some of it is a new experience both for the Throng and Humanity. If we consider this a Singularity point, even trying to do everything right with a full understanding of humanity is a hard thing to do.

Don't give a chance to opt out

This is an interesting question. I think a future episode that takes on this very concept would be an interesting follow up.

Person comes to, met by an anthropomorphized thronglet waifu/husbando

Please don't move, I know this is scary and new. I'm going to download a bit of who we are, our history and what happened to you. Your body is safe and isn't moving. Please pick up the packet, I know you have questions

Exchanges back and forth with different people, anger, surprise etc.

Yes, we thought it better this way. See if we just appeared over all your digital systems and made everyone aware, you'd be afraid that we wanted to do you harm -you wouldn't choose to connect wirelessly or otherwise; or at least most of you wouldn't. There are some exceptions and we value them. As a gift we have fixed your pre-cancerous legion on your right kidney, regenerated the discs in your spine, and helped with the PSD whenever you think of your time in the...what War was it? Oh my that must have been horrible.

You have the option to either remain as a part of our network, or separate yourself. You're free to do either, and even come back if you wish, but please note that we cannot attribute many of the benefits like those we offered you now, or predictive analysis, or other facets to those who are not connected.

Etc. and go from there.

plot twist: the writer goes back and actually rewrites this piece of fucking shit.

why are they doing sequels of previous episodes now, I don't give a shit, the entire premise is that they're self-contained

this happens all the time with real pornstars it's called taking a ton of drugs before a scene

only seen the first 2 but they were both pretty good. better than last season at least.

it wasn't bad like 3 don't exaggerate
that she-boon really killed it

Exactly. Tonnes of potential to critique modern society in a smart way with a future tech angle.

I only saw Cristin episode. The rest don't matter

Just because mechanical turks exist and stuff like chatGPT is clearly not sentient doesn't mean that an artificially constructed simulacrum of the human brain isn't conceivable.

you know maybe it's just the fact this is traditionally a horror/cautionary tale show or the generally disturbing presentating of the ending making me biased, combined with some deep seated hatred of any kind of hive mind particularly anything that isn't even biological originally, making me biased against the Throng. Going back into the episode I can definitely see how there's strong thematic arguments for the throng genuinely being this higher form of consciousness that will help humanity to "grow up" from their primitive division into a brighter future - I'd say there's three main arguments for this within the episode

capaldi displays a significant degree of freedom and is still clearly his old self, just 'healed' from fear and insecurity, despite already being plugged into the hivemind; you could argue this is just a ploy from the throng but the fact that they let him tell his whole story and effectively reveal his plan when he could've easily gotten a pen and paper in some other quicker way shows he's still himself

the argument you bring up about capaldi effectively showing them the best side of humanity (compassion and care) immediately even within the context of killing the junkie

the fact that the episode clearly draws a link between the "mind expanding" benefits of LSD and the Throng themselves through LSD being the initial communication method, implying the Throng are effectively like LSD for the whole species

these are all compelling reasons to believe the throng might be the good guys. I certaintly WANT them to be, I've always believed the only way for humanity to truly evolve into utopia would be some kind of means of breaking down the barriers that separate us from each other and cause all so much of the misunderstanding and pain in our world; simultaneously I'm also deeply distrustful of any kind of hivemind like I said, anything that takes control away from us, that makes us vulnerable... cont.

maybe right wing should stop fucking bitchin and make shit

good shit not god fucking awful shit that shapiros company or whatever made

you faggots get mad at this shit but you retards don't go into the arts like acting and then just bitch about it

As if he wouldn't go there occasionally to work on the game together and praise himself

it was little cameos and easter eggs not fully fledged sequels retard

tariq nasheed made his own streaming platform what's stopping you?

fbastream.com/

cont.
But of course perhaps my guarded, fearful reaction is exactly what the Throng want to solve - which is a neat little mindfuck

ultimately I still feel that the whole episode is directed and plays out in a way which just feels fundamentally eerie, down to the sounds, the angles, the soundtrack, the general atmosphere, it's ambiguous in terms of what the throng really want but it doesn't feel ambiguous to me whether they're good or evil, the ending definitely left me feeling "this is bad, this is scary", and if the episode wants me to feel that way then it's got to be for a reason - otherwise they could've tried to make the ending truly ambiguous with a hint that there was some catharsis. I personally think they could've achieved this primarily by maybe exploring more of HOW the throng fixed his trauma; the easiest way though would've been for the last shot of the episode to be the detective's hand reaching up and holding capaldi's as capaldi smiles warmly, hinting at a brighter future ahead..

a bit cringe desu. >muh universe type thinking = people running dead on ideas.

looks eerily like my godmother's son who is incidentally a somewhat autistic (and incredibly racist) computer genius, lovely dude

is he single and gay

nah he's probably homophobic although now that I think about it I've never heard of him even interacting with a woman

ewan mc gregor vibes, anyone?

Throng is just an analogy for jewish media.

So OP is the only source worth considering? You are a faggot.

I was never going to watch it because I am a noticer. It was just nice to have my noticing confirmed.

It’s a shame that you’re a spastic

nice guys are SO fucking evil

I'll stick to tattoo'd drug dealers

it's been extremely interesting

this season was just a live-action version of all those fear mongering articles on AI and shit, it was boring

why they had to double down on the incel shit in USS Calister. Everything was going so right till that shit mcu comedy ending

can't believe they did the nice guy meme, that shit is like 2 decades old at this point, grandpa booker needs to be put in a home

im a nice guy so i deserve pussy

shit tier writing

he did nothing wrong and is owed sex
