I was thinking the same thing too about, "Who cares if people see you jerking it?" Embarrassing? Totally, but something that dies down eventually.

I mean, slight spoilers -

First season 3 review I saw made me have a mini panic attack wondering how I somehow missed episode 1. Not sure why - the special is segregated as season 2.5 here, so it clearly isn't S3E1.

I know I've seen him in something recently, but I'm totally blanking on what.

I think this probably deserves a B+, if you're feeling generous. No, it's not the A/A+ of White Bear. It's the beginning of a great second half of the season where 4-6 seem to really pick things up.

Right? Those legs and stockings were too good.

Abraham. He got all soft and sentimental before the show left, it was probably a man who took the hit and lifted his head again (yeah, going there), and the show wants to kill off a B-rate character to keep the core intact.

The episode after that throws a huge curveball to the Black Mirror model, but a pleasant one. Then 5 and 6 are more traditional Black Mirror in my mind.

Definitely took me a while to figure out what was going on there. Kind of odd to have a Black Mirror episode end how it did though.

Especially since THEY put it in its own damn season - season 2.5 - on their website. AVClub done missed up.

I personally thought this episode was a bit heavy - maybe because I became to like/hate Cooper.

Agreed. Would've been the deeper, longer-lasting mind f*ck that the first two seasons would unleash.

Fey, Fallon, and Twenty One Pilots were the only 3 bad things in this entire episode. Never would've expected it going in to the show.

Those two songs are two of my least favorite of their songs, combined with their muted and boring performances, made me hate them. I was almost hoping they weren't coming back for a second song (seemed a bit late, no?).

She was there. That was the only time I saw her and thought of her in the whole show, as I was zoning out in the intro.

She was in the closing goodbye though! I didn't even notice her in the credits and realized she had 0:00 of screen time until the closing.

The more I think about it, the less I'd like a season 2 that is a continuation of the same town, characters, and story line. They pretty much set it up that 11 is probably alive somehow and an identical or similar monster is going to come back. That's kind of lame.

Spent the past two evenings finally churning my way through this series. I really enjoyed it. One thing I could say was that I was very pleasantly surprised Nancy ended up with Steve in the end. I think it's great they didn't have the cliche ending having her end up with Jonathan.

Who again would want to make her his Queen and his #2, not #1.
