A particularly disturbing episode to be sure. I like how it took a little bit to establish the set-up. Horrific though the murder of David’s family was, I got pulled out of it some. The reason being how obvious it was that it was analogous to the Manson family, especially the murder of Sharon Tate and the others in her house on that August night in 1969. The fact that it was ‘69 in this episode, the hippies being very evocative of Manson and his followers, and the touch of the hippies smearing the blood on the wall, all made me say, “Ok, so, very clearly we’re making it like they’re the Manson family, especially the night they went to the Polanski house.” And, you know, just in case anybody misses the analogy, Lana is reading Valley of the Dolls, the film adaptation of which had Sharon Tate in it. Which probably was meant to be foreshadowing to the ending of the episode, now I think about it. One depressing part of it was the lack of therapy offered, which does make sense given the time period. It is messy and difficult like you said, given what David went through, it’s difficult to say no to him on letting him use Cliff’s replica for a continuous period of time. The one aspect of it that I’m aware I can’t fully judge is that Cliff and Lana made the decision as a couple. I’m not married, never have been, I’ve never been in a relationship, I’ve never even dated as matter of fact, thus, the aspect of one making such a decision with one’s spouse is not something I could really judge. Say I was in Cliff’s place and my home life is I live by my lonesome, even then I find myself reticent to offer such an idea to David, or at least not without establishing one or two boundaries. Of course, I’m a cynical asshole, so what do I know, right? And like you said, we’re assessing such a situation through a Black Mirror episode which raises one’s paranoia through the roof. Also, Jess, you spoke of your own experiences and how that has gotten to you in the past, it makes sense how you were kinder to David at first than I was. I started getting bad vibes from David when he started to insist on book recommendations for Lana, and the bad vibes were confirmed, to me at least, when he got touchy with showing her how to paint. Then there was the dancing scene. To your one point, the one way of looking at it is understandable. Say he simply got caught up in the music and the memories, that’s one thing. The vibes I got from him before that told me some of what he was doing was, at least on some level, premeditated, and creepy as hell. My skin started crawling. I was happy Lana firmly said no to David, which David should have heeded. “No” means “No” after all. He really overstepped his bounds with the nude drawings as even the most calm and rational man is going to take exception to such a thing. I, too, quite liked the moment of honesty Lana had and was proud of her for it. That’s a fair observation of would the moment of honesty had happened had David not been too forward. I can’t say I blamed Cliff for not letting David see Lana again as trust has been shattered. He does go a bit too far with what he says to David, though you noted it makes sense. As to the ending. I knew as soon as Cliff removed his tag that David was going to see Lana. There was also the warning sign of him shaving his beard off. My thought was he would try to have his way with her, likely go too far, and in the end, kill himself. Thus, it was a surprise when he let Cliff back in. You described your own thought process and how you were chiding yourself for being an asshole. You’re not an asshole, Jess. I am, and besides which, you’re never at the monthly support meetings. Or weekly support meetings, depending on how bad a month it is. The ending was horrifying when Cliff discovered his wife, and I assume his son also, murdered. What’s worse is David’s supreme confidence that Cliff can’t hurt him due to mutually assured destruction. And in my assessment David’s thought would be correct. Cliff’s not going to hurt David, he’s just going to bash David’s brains in. Then again, considering David might find such an idea agreeable, no satisfaction would come from such an act, hence, it’s a tragedy either way. Oh, this was a good episode. And a most tremendous reaction and post-reaction commentary, Jess. Thank you for all of it.
