There's a Black Mirror episode about that!
2 I think, though I don't remember the other one that's not White Christmas.
That Black Mirror episode still affects me to this day shudder
I had to give up on The Black Mirror after that episode where they have to exercise to earn credits and are forced to watch advertising. Then that girl thought she could make it out by singing but had to do porn instead. Couldn't watch anymore after that.
ah yes s1e2. you almost gave it a shot
Was it really episode 2? I guess I watched it a bit more than that, because I can remember a few more episodes. But many though, maybe another 2 or 3.
FWIW, I think that episode is one of the weakest early season episodes. It's somehow both too explicit and not explicit enough, because their world doesn't make any sense beyond simply "capitalism". The rest are a lot more in the realm of existential horror and questioning the morality of things. Black mirror just isn't a good medium for an explanation of why capitalism is evil.
That episode got darker after the porn part.
Oh yeah, I finished the episode. I couldn't do the rest of the show after that.
I mean wasn't season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn't enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.
Ya, I watched that one too and thought it was funny. Then for some reason the workout thing really got to me hard too. I was working at a bank as a manager that was literally scamming people out of their money/ homes and hated my life. Living in a shoebox and barely able to afford my apartment. I hated my life. It really hit me hard.
Also a Carey Elwes documentary about assholes with six fingers
And Outer Limits 1995 iirc
also star trek: deep space nine.
There's a Deep Space 9 episode about that!
There's an episode of Torchwood about that!
Which was never brought up again. Poor O’Brien
I am in S05 of DS9 (first watch) and saw this one recently in S04. We really enjoyed it.
Do they ever bring up that O'Brien isn't the original O'Brien they knew, but rather the future O'Brien that swapped places? ... I didn't think so.
Nope.
I’m glad that O’Brien got so much focus on DS9 after being a side character on TNG, but man did they ever fuck with him.
But then if they did acknowledge all the shit the writers put him through they would have one seriously messed up officer who should probably be discharged.
We have to assume that 24th century mental health services are much better than either Troi or Ezri makes it appear.
Hahaha well with those two as our sample it’s going to take a lot of rigging to suspend my disbelief.
I'm in the same season in my first watch too. Having a blast.
.
Hey, Keiko has a name you know.
We just saw the episode where the wraith took over Kinko's body and threatened to kill her if O'Brien didn't reconfigure the comm relays. I thought, "Here's your way out, Miles!"
It's why he sabotaged the plan though (OK, I don't remember the episode anymore...)
