Great episode, but it didn't feel like Black Mirror. It's missing the sci-fi element, the dystopian topic, the futuristic technology aspect.

@carovonchaos Dude. They said it at the beginning. The commodification of nature. They turned the abject horror of his tragedy into a streaming success that made rich people richer.
I mean, how much more obvious could that final note he read be?

@carovonchaos a lot of episodes havent been about the sci-fi element before (the first episode of the show literally isnt sci-fi) and the technology aspect is the filmmaking. i dont understand this comment
Yeah, this doesn't happen and the misconception about the tradition is once again skewed to the bias of American eyes.
Granted I'm from Belgium and the tradition is slightly different from the Netherlands but still.Even the Dutch don't do whatever the hotel staff and public was doing unless they were in character of Zwarte Piet. Which, they were not. I know this show is satire and shows an extreme view of things but still...
Good episode, just don't fuck with Zwarte Piet

@Tmxdddd It's also not satire. It's exactly how people act when it comes to the Black Pete thing. It just looks like satire because of how ridiculous it is.

If you know it was supposed to be satire was the point of commenting this then
Even though I went through a recap on Youtube, I don't remember which consciousness is in which host. I don't even understand why this show exists anymore.

@orphan I'm having the feeling you might not care but for whoever else is interested:
Dolores Prime = Dead, at the end of S3
Charlotte Hale = Dolores (but due to being in a different body, having different experiences, etc, has gone a different path than the original Dolores)
Lawrence = Dolores (last seen S3)
Christina (the Dolores we're seeing in S4) = Dolores (a backup in the archives/virtual world maybe? this hasn't been revealed yet)
William = Host (based on his worst side, the man in black, when he was active in the park. He is also still alive as a human)
Maeve = Maeve
Bernard = Bernard
Clementine = Unknown, the original clementine was overpowered by Host William in S4
This is bound to be divisive, and I can see it getting a cult following in the future.
It plays out a lot like an Edgar Wright movie, starting as one movie and slowly morphing into another.
I personally liked it a lot, I found it very inspired and creative from a story perspective.
It has a great character at the center, some really unpredictable twists, it delivers the scares and gore you want, terrific visuals (Wan’s trademark camerawork is here) and good music (there is a subtle song reference that’s actually kinda brilliant).
It’s not perfect though: the acting can sometimes be a little wonky, there’s too much unneeded exposition, and the tone can occasionally get a little campy, which doesn’t always work.
Still, you have to respect James Wan for bringing creative and fresh ideas into a genre that has continued to give us the same shit over and over again.6/10

@erebos Not entirely, that's 1 of the 3/4 genres that you can find in this film. Do those horror movies end with Matrix-esque fight sequences? That's where the creativity comes from. It takes tropes from different genres, puts them in a blender, and makes something fresh out of it.

@zdistrict how much effort it must take to capitalise every first letter just for it to be grammatically incorrect lmfao
Jonathan Majors , love the dude, but that performance was godawful. He kinda reminded me of Jesse Eisenberg in Batman V Superman

Fortunately, he’s dead now, the actual villain of Ant Man 3 will be a variant of him, I suppose different temperament.

@briannwabuoku I was this close to punch the screen. Damn, he was annoying
Too cruel. Life is already horrible. Works of fiction should be a way to escape reality, not mimic it in every worst manner.

@rosetheflower Then watch some comedies, what the heck did you expect from a show like this?
Maybe it’s going to be an issue in the next episode, but Mando left his jet pack on the hillside, and never retrieved it. If he had, he would have been able to get to Grogu in time.

@linrey he forgot it because the plot needed him to

@linrey "If he had, he would have been able to get to Grogu in time."
and that's why he had to drop it in the first place. But my guess is he'll still have it. We just didn't see him picking it up.
I didn't realise how much I needed a jab of pure charisma until I heard the voice of Timothy Olyphant.
And that aspect ratio transformation moment? Pretty epic.

@thoroughmas that scene where the screen went to the full 16:9 ratio was amazing!! what a moment!!
