I had to give up on The Black Mirror after that episode where they have to exercise to earn credits and are forced to watch advertising. Then that girl thought she could make it out by singing but had to do porn instead. Couldn’t watch anymore after that.

That episode got darker after the porn part.

Oh yeah, I finished the episode. I couldn’t do the rest of the show after that.

Was it really episode 2? I guess I watched it a bit more than that, because I can remember a few more episodes. But many though, maybe another 2 or 3.

FWIW, I think that episode is one of the weakest early season episodes. It’s somehow both too explicit and not explicit enough, because their world doesn’t make any sense beyond simply “capitalism”. The rest are a lot more in the realm of existential horror and questioning the morality of things. Black mirror just isn’t a good medium for an explanation of why capitalism is evil.

2 I think, though I don’t remember the other one that’s not White Christmas.

I am in S05 of DS9 (first watch) and saw this one recently in S04. We really enjoyed it.
Do they ever bring up that O’Brien isn’t the original O’Brien they knew, but rather the future O’Brien that swapped places? … I didn’t think so.
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Nope.
I’m glad that O’Brien got so much focus on DS9 after being a side character on TNG, but man did they ever fuck with him.
But then if they did acknowledge all the shit the writers put him through they would have one seriously messed up officer who should probably be discharged.

I’m in the same season in my first watch too. Having a blast.

There’s an episode of Torchwood about that!
