Cribbing directly from my idol Phil Sandifer here, but I agree with him that it’s the right question to ask any creative type if you only get one:

All that “Michael Schur is uncomplicatedly wonderful” talk gave me instinctive chills.

Well it’s a good thing he’s not the creative lead on a show with one of the most notoriously toxic and harassment-prone online communities in fandom history, or anything of that sort.

I think it’s more “people who treat the space of fandom like a miniature fiefdom where their professed love of the work gives them authority are assholes, and, given access to the sort of mind-palace version of the narratives they’ve developed an unhealthy relationship with that this episode posits, they’d probably do…

I know every Black Mirror episode has a person in a comments section somewhere going “there should be a followup/spinoff”, but, in the absence of Charlie Brooker having any ideas for a San Junipero sequel that would be good enough to merit tempting fate, what I really want to see is the continued adventures of Team…

Well, don’t get me wrong - there are definitely ways that the situation we leave Kelly and Yorkie in can, and in fact probably will, in the fullness of time, go off the rails. But you could say the same of any life, or love. And it definitely seems like the love we witness will be good for a very long time - perhaps…

Oh, and props to the Black Mirror team for whatever dumb thing they had to do for Morrissey to sign off on the use of “Panic”.

I think a lot of this season responds in one way or another to the fact of “San Junipero” being the show’s biggest hit to date, despite going somewhat against type - this one, most directly, seems to be Charlie Brooker engaging with the question of how he can do a happy-ending love story on Black Mirror now that the…

Noteworthy that The Dalek Invasion of Earth is also Susan’s departure story, and the reason the Doctor’s granddaughter leaves the show is because she meets a man in the post-apocalyptic ruins who she sort of likes, so the Doctor locks her out of the TARDIS deciding that it’s time for her to stay and be a wife.

Not especially - we’re supposed to stop skipping through our DVR recording because we think the show’s back on.

The Dalek Invasion of Earth, addressed to Susan.

The “smack on the bottom” line Caroline singles out as beyond the pale is a direct lift from Hartnell’s dialogue in The Dalek Invasion of Earth. The sexism wasn’t pervasive but it was definitely more than subtext.

Actually his plan for people to stop being mean to him since a few months before this came out has been to hope that Deeper turns out good:

“I’m a Brickstar”

*Max Landis angrily tweets the address of Kevin Ayers’ cemetery plot*

Still can’t measure up to Bobby Flay changing the turf for NY street chefs forever:

Fair enough.

Hey, you were that “Fox is raping Marvel” person in the comments section of the Noah Hawley Dr. Doom story; this must be giving you some complex emotions. Care to summarize them in a sensitive, respectful, entirely literal manner?

Considering that, in the real world we all inhabit, tech billionaire Peter Thiel has channeled his wealth into an organization whose roundabout goal is to make sure we all(?) safely transition into deathless digital simulations of ourselves, I don’t think it’s particularly risky to guess that everyone up the chain of…
