Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 11, 2019 Author Subscriber Posted June 11, 2019 Striking Vipers I enjoyed, got me thinking a lot about the psychology of sex and attraction on some different levels. The taxi one I found really gripping as a flat out hour of television but it wasn't really much of a Black Mirror episode so I see why people didn't like it. The Ashley O one was mildly funny in parts but overall just a bit silly. Wouldn't call it bad but it didn't really land. Overall definitely below average as far as Black Mirror goes but still enjoyed the three episodes.

The third one had a decent idea behind it, but they should have done better with it. Disapppointing season overall. SS Callister autoplayed after I watched the third...now that is a proper, good old, fucked up episode of Black Mirror
Eco Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Just watched Striking Vipers, very good episode. I always try to guess what they are about, and I just assumed it was about a population without white people since there aren't any in the episode, but nope, a totally different concept. Definitely one of the ones that I'll remember, fantastic watch.
Moderator Tommy Posted June 21, 2019 Moderator Posted June 21, 2019 So none of the episodes are connected, right? I could just start with the last season and watch random episodes sporadically without missing anything of the story, right?

6666 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 First 2 episodes were great. 3rd wasnt much of a mind fuck or that intense. Wasn't terrible but definitely 3rd if we're ranking the episodes.

There are a few little Easter eggs throughout that link the odd episode to another one but basically correct. I'd still start from season one personally.

Moderator Tommy Posted July 10, 2019 Moderator Posted July 10, 2019 Finally finished season 1 last night, gods be praised! Working on my list now. Liked all episodes. The build-up for episode 2 "Fifteen Million Merits" was so good, but I thought it ended somewhat anticlimactic. The actress who played Abi Khan was drop dead gorgeous though, jesus christ. Episode 3 was really great too. Starting with Season 2 tonight.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 16, 2019 Moderator Posted July 16, 2019 I'm in season 3 now, and I have to say "Shut up and Dance" is the best episode of the series so far. I did not see that twist at the ending coming.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted July 16, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 16, 2019 Realised there's still a few odd episodes I avoided when I was watching the first time so going to go back and watch those tonight I think.
Administrator Stan Posted July 20, 2019 Administrator Posted July 20, 2019 Finally got round to watching all 3 new ones. Miley Cyrus one (Rachel, Jack & Ashley Too) was decent but ended up predictable. Didn't think there was any use in the police chase towards the end. Think I was just perhaps bored by that point Smithereens was better. Thought they could have got better coppers though. Minor point, mind. Another episode that depicts the real world in terms of us all being warped by our phones. We're all guilty of it - watching the world go by as our eyes are glued to a 6-inch piece of technology. Striking Vipers started off a bit slow then got interesting quite quickly. Scary to think we're probably not that far away from shit like that happening when it comes to virtual reality. Made me laugh when Karl was saying he fucked a polar bear though
Moderator Tommy Posted July 23, 2019 Moderator Posted July 23, 2019 Watched the USS Callister episode last night. BRILLIANT! And I was right. Aaron Paul had a small cameo in this, just in a speaking role: Recognized the voice right away Nobody swears like Aaron Paul.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 16, 2022 Author Subscriber Posted May 16, 2022 Oh wow, I thought this was done.
Cicero Posted May 16, 2022 Posted May 16, 2022 Amazing. Love this series. Season 5 was a bit meh so thankfully they are taking their time on this.
Administrator Stan Posted May 20, 2022 Administrator Posted May 20, 2022 Awesome. Always fun to watch. Or get really engrossed in some.
