Anthony Mackie
Andrew Scott
Miley Cyrus
Topher Grace

Aside from Miley Cyrus whom I have never seen act, that is a strong cast yet again.

Seanny One Ball 05-15-2019 02:34 PM

Topher Grace is my shit

Rammsteinmad 05-16-2019 06:05 AM

Love Black Mirror! That trailer does nothing for me though, seeing as how most episodes are random as fuck and you have no idea what to expect. Can't wait for it, though!

rez 05-17-2019 09:05 AM

Pumped.. Nothing to binge right now.

GD 06-05-2019 05:41 PM

The reviews aren't that good but I'm going to watch it anyway.

GD 06-05-2019 06:26 PM

The first episode is wild!

GD 06-05-2019 07:37 PM

This episode :lol:

When those dudes started rubbing there dicks together like they were cavemen making fire. Good shit.

GD 06-06-2019 12:12 AM

The Miley Cyrus episode was bad.

GD 06-06-2019 12:25 AM

Miley Cyrus ruining NIN

Lock Jaw 06-06-2019 12:49 AM

Just watched the Falcon/Black Manta episode:

SPOILER: show
Not my favourite of the series..... I like episodes that make me "contemplate the future" and "technology's impact on our lives"...... This one was more about "relationships" and "no homo" as Kalyx said.... Wasn't bad, but not really what I want out of Black Mirror

Whoa... just looked up the actors who played the fighters.... was Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Murk from Aquaman

GD 06-06-2019 01:03 AM

Yep

Kalyx triaD 06-06-2019 03:28 AM

Honestly none of the episodes had that technophobe vibe the series is known for by now. Mostly character driven this season.

Lock Jaw 06-06-2019 09:49 AM

If you could VR bang Chun-Li, but she was controlled by one of your best friends, would you?

Frank Drebin 06-06-2019 12:00 PM

Fuck no.

Frank Drebin 06-06-2019 12:01 PM

Unless my best friend was Anna Kendrick. Then it would totes be ok.

Frank Drebin 06-06-2019 12:02 PM

Lock Jaw, let's VR fuck but I'll raise my voice so I sound like Elizabeth Holmes.

I wouldn't VR bang. That's not some hyper chad stance, I just don't like VR. But as far as the concept you're asking - no.

I was disappointed they never swapped characters. Home boy wanted to know what it was like to get drilled by ninja dick but never cashed in.

Kalyx triaD 06-06-2019 03:34 PM

SPOILER: show
The fact that this device was able to simulate another gender's unique physical sensations is a wild idea I'd think the episode would explore a bit more. I'm glad they spoke about it at least because my brain was on fire about it, but was it was mostly handwaved with comedic fumbling (writer likely had no clue how to explain it himself).

GD 06-06-2019 03:44 PM

Mantis was ridiculously hot.

The technology is always secondary to the characters in Black Mirror.
Your phone is only a black mirror when it's off or on standby, the technology is merely a surface onto which the character is reflected.

Kalyx triaD 06-06-2019 08:50 PM

Sure but this season had way less direct consequences of technology. Smithereens and Sex Fighter could have easily been told without the tech additions, the former is more or less present day. Not a bad thing, since the series started with this vibe.

GD 06-06-2019 09:35 PM

The latest seasons of both Black Mirror and Arrested Development have been unsatisfactory.

Haha. Oh, Trent :D

GD 06-06-2019 09:47 PM

lol well done

rez 06-06-2019 10:06 PM

I skipped the 2nd ep...Doesn't sound too interesting. I'll get on it this weekend.

Frank Drebin 06-07-2019 07:32 PM

5th season was fine. Not great. Even forgettable. None of those make my top 5 or even top 10 fav episodes.

Smithereen probably the best of the bunch. I liked the slight mystery behind why he was doing it and it being more or less the core reason of calling something like this "Black Mirror".

Rammsteinmad 06-08-2019 11:00 AM

You can see my sisters house in the episode 'Smithereens'. :cool:

Frank Drebin 06-09-2019 12:10 AM

Is she hot?

Lock Jaw 06-09-2019 01:01 AM

Just watched the episode "Smithereens". Don't really have much to say of it....

Destor 06-13-2019 12:02 AM

I really like 502. Thought all 3 eps were bold gambles for the show. Branching away from thriller/horror and trying its hand at diversifying its methods for telling stories. 2 8s and a 9.

rez 06-14-2019 10:51 AM

Smithereens was pretty forgettable except for Topher Grace. They need to do an ep focused on his character.

Seanny One Ball 06-14-2019 04:52 PM

I think my overall favourite episode is USS Callister. It was horrifying. The best way to watch it is to chase it with a shot of Bryce Dallas Howard's episode. You need that feel good if you're taking on Callister.

GD 06-14-2019 05:06 PM

San Junipero

Seanny One Ball 06-14-2019 06:08 PM

If it wasn't for season 4 that would be the overall worst episode. It's still bottom three.

Lock Jaw 06-14-2019 06:50 PM

San Junipero more "feel good" than Nosedive........ Nosedive has very "feel good" ending, but is v bleak for much of it.....

Frank Drebin 06-14-2019 06:55 PM

Nosedive my fav maybe. San Junipero easily the most overrated.
