  • I’m really disappointed with this season of Black Mirror. I probably over hyped it. My rankings are: 5. Demon 79 (I fell asleep on this one…) 4. Mazey Day 3. Loch Henry 2. Joan is Awful

    1. Beyond the Sea

    Demon 79: I don’t have a lot to say, since I fell asleep on this one. The retail fantasies were pretty funny iirc. I never got to see the demon

    Mazey Day: It was fine, but the whole werewolf thing bugged me. Seemed too “V/H/S” to me. I was really expecting there to be a pack of “rabbid” paparazzi, like comically rabbid.

    Loch Henry: this was a great episode, but again didn’t feel like it belonged in Black Mirror. It could have been its own horror film. But I get if someone pitched a good idea and they couldn’t pass it up. Seems like streamberry was shoehorned in just to make it fit with BM.

    Joan is Awful: probably the most faithful episode to the series. It’s good, I don’t have any issues with it, necessarily. Given the nature of it, nothing seems out of place.

    Beyond the Sea: This is my favorite episode of the season despite the awful ending and corny hillbilly zealots. There was so much potential in this one, they could have ended it any other way and it would have been better. The ending was just pure shock factor and I have been racking my brain trying to think of a motive besides “If you won’t let me have your family, then you can’t have them either.” Which is just annoying to consider.

    Hartnett could have left Paul out in space while he stole his replica and transferred himself into it, after which he would just stay inside his replica until he died in space. This feels so unnerving just thinking about it.

    Hartnett could have been adopted into Paul’s family, and they could have coexisted like that until the mission ended, after which he would become the “cool uncle.” Of course, he would have had to change his ways, which would have been part of the growing to be better process.

    Or Harnett and Paul could have come to an agreement between themselves and Paul’s wife to continue sharing Paul’s replica, and Hartnett would see to Paul’s wife’s emotional and physical needs, while Paul continues to be the rock in the family. This would be a kinda weird, but still happy ending. But black mirror isn’t a stranger to this kind of ending lol.

    What do you guys think?



  • Cool, thanks for your input. You’re right, it may not work, but I’ll give it a shot. Otherwise I’ll just get rid of them. The original cartridges are definitely a lot more watery; when shaken, the bubbles rise to the surface quickly. In the others, the bubbles stay suspended for a moment and rise slowly.

    When I say cartridges, they’re those little brown glass jars with the wick coming out the top. They plug into the aeration device and it heats? And sprays it out the top in a mist
