Pretty much a black comedy, nice to see pre-delores William from Westworld in this, and playing once again a character who receives a hard time. At first I thought Daly was going to molest his son when he brought him on board, but instead it was just straight-up murder via the airlock.

A lot of the story flip-flopped on Daly either being in control, and letting control slip. Turning crewmembers into giant monsters was a little too cartoony for my liking, I much preferred the body horror moments when he closed off Cole's mouth and eyes.

I wonder what happened to the real Cole after she was blackmailed? I thought she'd have been a bigger part of the episode alongside her computer avatar, but she just sort of vanishes after ordering the pizza.

Thought the fanservice moment felt shoe-horned in, and Daly really should have known better...at least he sort of acted like everything was off.

Anyhoo, this is more or less an episode with a happy ending...the avatars pilot their way through the upgrade cloud thinking it'll kill them, but it instead just frees them from Daly's modded patch and they're free to explore the data cloud on the other end

A straight person's San Junipero with a star-crossed couple ultimately breaking free of the system, only it's revealed at the end they're still part of it and function as their technology does to a whole other level of a world outside of their own. Takes a little while for the twist to sink in though, I was left slightly dumbstruck before I wound up awe-struck, rofl.

It is interesting to find the girl had more sexual experiences displayed than the man, probably just to enforce the fact she goes to feel nothing about those other relationships.

Near the end I thought the twist for the ultimate match would have been when the bloke, Frank, met the woman who'd also been ditched and the two have sex thinking about their preferred partners

..Features a man dating a virtual reality female avatar that is controlled by his male best friend

And in the end he cucks out his wife? No, no bueno.

Basically comes down to someone going to extreme lengths just to give customer feedback. Ending is ambiguous, but the concluding message is "nothing to see here, might as well resume your day"

Why bother asking for paper and a felt tip pen. Just pre draw or get the QR code tattooed on his arm.

wanted the episode to go on just another 10 seconds to see the general disposition of that detective when he "came to." But I could already tell they weren't going to show it when we got the POV shot of Capaldi's hand coming down.

It wasn't anything groundbreaking but a nice, solid moving episode. Given so many other Black Mirrors I was waiting for some kind of really dark, sinister twist like maybe the Holiday Special. Like as he's digging through these pictures reliving them we find out he has some kind of horrible secret life like as a serial killer or worse and then he turns himself in and/or kills himself.

Alternately, as a less bleak thought, I was thinking his "guide" would switch faces at the end and be revealed as some kind of AI version of Carol herself (a bit like the Cuba Gooding Jr. twist in "What Dreams May Come"), wanting to give him some kind of final message.
