I don't know how this is going to work because whoever airs second is going to get screwed.
Show it on both at once. Netflix can be happy because UK subscribers are a minority of their income, C4 can be happy because most of their viewers aren't Netflix subscribers, and UK Netflix subscribers can be happy because they won't have to fight with C4's ondemand service.

Any ranking of the episodes is defensible as long as The Waldo Moment is last.

I'm probably the only person that rates The Entire History of You so highly.
You and Robert Downey Jr.

The first law of Black Mirror is that nobody ever agrees on the relative merits of the episodes. Even at the most basic level of if am episode is strong or weak.

If you got the entire world population to watch and rank the 13 episodes, excluding the inappropriately young and the senile, you'd probably never find somebody else who agreed.

It launching on friday just means it will be available 00:01 (on friday, tomorrow) in each country that has it on Netflix? Anyone know a precise time?
It's released globally at the same time. I think it usually midnight PT.

It was all downhill after opening with the pig loving. No concept is going to beat that.

I've always had a soft spot for White Bear. On the other hand, apparently I never finished Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too.

the "blow an orangutan" joke they apparently thought was so funny it was worth putting in there twice.
It should have been 'gently caress a pig'.

S7 drops today.

Guardian 4/5
Independent: 2/5.

The lack of consensus over which episodes are good/bad will continue.

In Plaything, the computer magazine being called PC Zone is a reference to where Charlie Brooker worked before he made it in to TV and did such works as Lara Croft Cruelty Zoo

The definitive Paul Giamatti performance is clearly American Splendor.

The temple device thing is fine. It's now just an understood shorthand for tech that interfaces with the brain. That or accessing the spinal cord on the back of your neck. Both avoid the need for exposition.

e: I also think Eulogy is supposed to be the canonical or spiritual sequel to Sideways (2004) with some names changed. Very little doubt about it in my mind that Charlie recently watched Sideways when making that episode, which actually made the episode better to me. I love Sideways

Paul Giamatti posted:

Charlie is great. He is open to so many ideas and changes. It was funny — the script was [originally] written for British characters, and then they got me to do it. I had to go through and make sure it sounded American, because it didn't, and Charlie was completely open to whatever. He was like, "Whatever, just have fun. Make it fit for you and your character.
At the very least it wasn't written with an expectation of getting Giamatti.
