I can forgive Black Mirror and other stuff I don't like or think highly of for being flawed or even bad, but the moment a geek tries this poo poo I want to give them a swirly.

Tune into the fireplace channel, you absolute buffoon
In San Junipero they die in the end. Their soulless brain clones gently caress forever on some dudes harddrive though, how horrifying.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Yeah how well that ending lands depends on whether you think the Star Trek transporter is a killing machine

People mistakenly think Black Mirror itself thinks its super smart and subtle but the show itself is indulging in how over the top and on the nose its concepts are. Nerds who don't like it love to say its because "it turns out I'm just smarter than this TV show, you see"

Also "British TV is better!" is never said by anyone who isn't an obnoxious contrarian who has to prove that they're superior to everyone else at all times.

exactly. the show is obviously quite silly on purpose with an overly serious tone. If you hear charlie brooker speak its obvious he's taking the piss a lot of the time and not trying to actually scare you. Somehow americans interpret this as actual literal fear mongering though and get all butthurt about how "edgy" the show is.

Yeah, I'm thinking when people say the show isn't as clever as the writer(s) seem to think it is that they're referring to the "Ooooh, I'm such a cheeky boy" kind of clever and not the "Oooooh, did I just blow your mind" kind of clever.

Just let them have this. It's turtles all the way down.

You mentioned The Waldo Moment. Have you watched others? Because The Waldo Moment is definitely garbage.

I've seen 5 or 6, Jon Hamm Christmas'ing it up was the best I thought and still like maybe 7/10 territory.

Future credits via running wasn't that bad either I guess, but the reverence people give the show as a whole leaves me very wtf.
