Keth Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Jimmi Simpson is a fucking awesome actor too. I thought I wouldnt be able to see past the McPoyles, but between this and Westworld, he's getting his due. There's a Marvel character for him somewhere.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 God yes! He was hammin' it up in this wasn't he? Gonna be tough to top this ep for me going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yeah, that first episodeay have been best saved for later. Just finished ep 2 and it wasn't nearly as strong. Still good, but felt like a retread of earlier episodes. I appreciate that they are linking the universe through the shared tech, but they really like the whole, camera in the eye thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So we're in agreement that Jesse Plemons is just a spare Matt Damon, right? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 I'd go as far to say he's the replacement. Â Â Or is he the digital clone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Matt-Damon-Black-Mirror-44464433 Â Cj and I had a playful argument about it. I was convinced. I was wrong, lol. Â He said that he looks like a mashup between Damon and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the episode, and I have to concur.

Iambaytor Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 He looks like Damon did in Contagion but with blonde hair. But it's not just his looks, he has similar mannerisms and the quiet mumbly way he speaks. It's not a perfect likeness but he could pass as Matt Damon's little brother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 If they decided that this would be the last season, then Black Museum would be the perfect send off. That was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Crocodile: Â Maybe the best ANDÂ worst episode of the series. Simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Crocodile cont'd I liked the insurance Lady's info gathering and the way the tech uses tactile stuff like the beer smell and music, the protagonist's motivation and actions less so. You're probably right.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Black Mirror S4This was probably the most disappointing season of the series for me overall. Half of the episodes (Crocodile, Arkangel, and Metalhead) had me actually bored. As a Star Trek fan I loved the season opener with "U.S.S. Callister," and it's my favorite episode of the season. "Hang the DJ" was interesting and had fantastic performances, but it lacked a certain gravitas that it needed to be something as great as "San Junipero" from S3. And "Black Museum" was really interesting, but it felt like something that should be be a series and not a season finale.  "Black Museum" spoilers:  I'm not sure if I like the show putting an official tie-in of the episodes like this and creating a "Black Mirror Universe." However, the museum idea was pretty great as was the character of the proprietor. Again, I feel like it was an idea ripe to END the entire show with. Anyway, it could be cool to watch for this guy to pop up in future episodes. Or really frustrating. It all depends if the writers work him into the stories in a clever way.  Edited February 14, 2018 by Mr. Hakujin spoilers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yeah, Metalhead was great. The season wasn't the best, but still one of the best shows out there. Crocodile was the only episode I can accept that people hated. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain that conclusion to me because if it was a reveal in the episode I totally missed it. Full disclosure, I mentioned this being one of the less engaging episodes for me, so I did get up and walk away from the TV once or twice during the episode.  Also, do you mean the dogs were people as in drones being operated remotely or people as in a human consciousness inside the robot dog?

Keth Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 It's just my theory, but there are a few factors that indicate this. Namely  The "battery" life. I dont think that was the battery, I think that was the actual conscience. You see that same circle in Black Museum with the conscience transfer tech. Also, when they talk about the teddy bear being the catalyst to require more and more emotes and reactions for the mind in machines. If this is true, the episode is even scarier, because it isn't a bunch of AI run amok, it's the real remnants of the human population.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Â Here's a fun little video that suggests that most to all Black Mirror episodes connect. SPOILERS! Â Also, Axel's theory on Metalhead isn't confirmed, but it still doesn't mean it's not true (they just didn't think of it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
