For me San Junipero doesn't have a happy ending. We got the cliches of upbeat music and driving off into the sunset which hides the truth. They're in a digital hell not paradise. Imagine being in a world forever. How many years could you take before you go mad. The quagmire was an example of those who will do anything to feel something. The only way out is death. How miserable you would have to be to kill yourself. Given the choice of when you die how much could one bear. Our survival instincts are strong we would hold on till the point of madness. I thought Nosedive had the happy ending. It starts with her practicing her fake smile. By the end we saw her first genuine smile. Even though she is in prison she is free. San Junipero isn't an extra life it's just a delayed suicide.

On the SJ Wiki page, this quote from Charlie Brooker is great - "I'd read people saying 'oh no! It's going to get all American!' so I said fuck it. I'm going to set it in California, fuck you. I'll choose protagonists that wouldn't necessarily leap into my head, and I'll explore a hopeful use of technology to shut up people who think it's written by the Unabomber"

I hope we get around to watching Love, Death and Robots.

You guys are my favourite reactors on the internet. You guys have finally made it to my favourite show of all time, and now at the episode that hooked me on the show, S3E3. Absolutely enjoyed the heck out of this one, George & Simone!

I hate “Shut Up and Dance.” The twist is good, but it is the only payoff for an episode filled with desperate guessing, “Why does he act like that?” First, why is Hector so obedient? He becomes part of a bank robbery. If they fail, which is almost guaranteed, he will go to jail. Yet, he shows no concern. Second, the fight to the death? If you get caught watching that kind of porn and committing a bank robbery, a good lawyer might get you 10-15 years. But first-degree murder means life in prison or even the death penalty. Still, they go through with it. There are many small things I hate. How does nobody notice the gun in the cake? Guns are heavy. It’s almost impossible not to notice that a dessert is suddenly 2.5 kg heavier. And the camera on the laptop? There’s always a small lamp that lights up when the camera is on. It’s physically built that way. It’s hard to miss. And I can’t forgive them for making a laptop without this feature just for the episode. Moreover, it’s possible to record him with the camera, not the screen. The screen could be recorded but only separately. Since it should be two different records there’s no way to prove the recordings are from the same event. This episode requires accepting too many implausible details. It fails to show how deeply unethical the events are. Committing a crime is not an excuse to commit another crime against the criminal. Hector committed no crime (if I’m not mistaken), yet he’s blackmailed. How many innocent people’s PCs and phones were hacked before the trolls found all those pedophiles and racists? Kenny’s punishment should be decided in court. We assume his crime is horrible, but we don’t actually know what kind of photos\videos he viewed. Maybe it’s casual non-sexual photos, still disgusting and maybe a crime, but not that severe. He could have been watching a 40-year-old pornstar pretending to be a schoolgirl. I’m not saying he’s good—maybe he was watching something truly terrible that he made himself. We don’t know, but the jury should decide, not internet trolls. Because we don’t see the troll hacker or know his motivation, the events seem like justice, which they are not.

I love “San Junipero.” To me, it’s the best episode. It’s the happiest and darkest episode. While we’re so happy for the main characters, we forget something. Who pays for their existence? Can they be deleted for unpaid bills? By mistake? Could they endure eternal pain due to a weird bug? But the second darkest question here is: “Are those dead people in San Junipero actually the people or just copies?” Connecting to the cloud isn’t the same as uploading to the cloud. Those avatars might not be the real people. In that case, Yorki spent 40 years paralyzed, met her love, found hope for a second life, and then died. Her copy gets eternal happiness, not she. We assume the residents of San Junipero are the same, but we can’t be sure. We can hope. We want to believe. But hey, it’s Black Mirror. And the darkest thing: we have no choice. In the discussion, George said it’s the only Black Mirror tech not forced on people. True, but death is forced on us. There’s no escape. There are real-life stories like Yorki’s. We hope technology will give us a second chance at life, but we probably won’t get any chance. It’s like they live in a world that should be real, and we’re in a Black Mirror episode. What about all the people you know and those you don’t? Children dying of cancer? Paralyzed people? Those suffering from Alzheimer? They have no chance to get to San Junipero—not even for a day. That episode is so happy and so dark, so simple and so thought-provoking. It’s so heavy and so happy for me at the same time that I can’t listen to “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” the same way anymore.
