Let's talk Black Mirror season 4

[Aoi Magi]

Yay, my favorite series is finally here and was more awesome than I had hoped. The first episode was a bit far-fetched, but the whole concept of being trapped like that and the implied possibilities were simply astounding. Did you people watch it yet?

I am just disgusted that that is the reason we aren't getting 2017 wipe.

I haven't started watching the new season but I'm definitely going to, hopefully this weekend. Sounds like it's a good one.

Thena Sr. rudely shushed me as she was watching Black Mirror the other day. She must have just started the series, because she hasn't told me whether I need to watch or not yet. 
The last thing she had me watching was an Australian series called Glitch, which wan't bad. The old lady's got decent taste in TV sci-fi, so I guess I'll ask her what the verdict is on Black Mirror so far.

WHILE she's watching it...heh heh.

I watched the first episode of season 4 and had to turn it off partway through episode 2 because of the adult content, dang it. I'll have to wait until after my kid is in bed to watch it.

Episode 1 was awesome; the ending was hilarious.

Excellent. I'm currently on "Black Museum" (specifically the part where the doctor's having sex and his wife uses the safeword) and I really think I could very well get down to reviewing Series 4 on Anglotopia the same way I did the previous three series (and the Christmas special). Just as long as Brooker doesn't drop in some kiddie porn like he did for "Shut Up and Dance", causing me to wonder how the fuck I can even write around it.

Honestly, the fact that I've only watched a single episode of Star Trek (out of the 740 hour-long episodes across seven series; Jesus God, that would be a long binge) may be the biggest stumbling block, but given that A) My take on the characteristically rich U.S.S. Callister would be long enough without going into the little Star Trek in-jokes, B) The episode seems to be original enough that I can easily get it without having an encyclopedic knowledge of the massive franchise, and C) Jesse "Todd Alquist" Flemons plays the Captain, and he's similar enough to his Breaking Bad counterpart that I can easily fill in the blank spaces others might fill with Star Trek comparisons with cracks about Breaking Bad, which I am far more familiar with.

It's the greatest Sci-Fi series to come into being since The Twilight Zone.

I'll be working a lot the next week and a half or so, so I won't have enough time to binge watch. 

I guess I'll start with "Crocodile" or "Hang the DJ".

I suggest you go in order. The whole thing is now part of a connected universe so the references would seem better if you watch it in order. But if you really wanna go random, just dont start with metalhead, or black museum.

[Athene]

Ok...easter eggs, then. Maybe I will watch in order.
I already watched most of "Nosedive" tonight, though.

Heh heh...Tripbook.

[Shell B]

We haven't started it yet.
