Aside from the heart-melting storyline, it's aesthetically stunning, with a soundtrack that'll rattle around the brain. "San Junipero" is a meditation on death, a neon-drenched statement that love can transcend the greatest barriers, a reminder of the finite nature of life. Kelly, however, is only passing by, intending to die naturally. Yorkie is paralyzed and wishes to be euthanized so she can live in San Junipero full-time. In real life, Kelly and Yorkie are elderly. In this virtual world, the elderly are young and vibrant. San Junipero is a virtual resort where the consciousness of the dead live on and those at the twilight of their lives can visit. But this isn't time travel, it's a simulated reality.
Yorkie (Mackenzie Davis) and Kelly (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) have a romance with tons of chemistry and more elements than the periodic table. Her journey also highlights the potential moral bankruptcy of capitalism Martha's grief is exploited by greedy companies looking to monetize her loss. Eventually, like photos packaged in a dusty box, Ash is consigned to the attic, where Martha's daughter sometimes visits. Not only is she pregnant with his child, but the company of robo-Ash makes letting go impossible. Taken from her at the prime of her life, she struggles to let go of Ash. It's fitting that Brooker creates robo-Ash by fictionalizing a complex algorithm using a person's social media behavior to form a "personality." It's also fitting that this area falls short our social media lives are but a fragment of who we really are, and Martha discovers this transfer of information only creates a pale comparison.Įmotionally, the story is just as focused on Martha's journey through grief. Numerous key themes are packaged into "Be Right Back," like the rise of a social media "persona," coming to terms with the loss of a loved one, and the monetization of grief. Disturbingly, in "Men Against Fire" ( taken from the title of Marshall's book), the tech is used to sidestep this thread of common humanity. Many soldiers deliberately aimed above their target, unable to kill another human in even the most dire of circumstances. Dave Grossman, who studied firing rates of soldiers in World War II and discovered the hit rate surprisingly low. With some great writing, a distinctly dark, satirical feel to every scene. The story is inspired by the study of the psychology of soldiers forced into combat, known as killology. Whilst it isn’t perfect and the first episode is disappointingly light on advanced technology compared to the other two, the first Season of Black Mirror does a great job in establishing a technologically advanced future and showing the dangers of using this technology.
Stripe learns he is working on behalf of a eugenics program, which has been running for over a decade to "protect the bloodline." Roaches are members of society deemed inferior. Similar to "Arkangel," this implant filter's soldier's experience, eliminating blood and guts to help them follow orders. In fact, they're humans whose appearance has been manipulated by the device in order to convince soldiers to follow orders and shoot on sight. A glitch in Stripe's MASS implant reveals a chilling truth: These roaches aren't mutants.
