possibly the worst acting of the year by the lead actress

why don't they just move to an island

My roommate kept saying "What the fuck is she sayimg?"

What is the plot of this?

Actually, does anyone know anywhere I can just read the entire plots of the new black mirror episodes? I can't be bothered to sink my time into something that most people seem to say is mediocre, and black mirror usually adapts decent concepts badly

...

so why did the lady decide to kill herself at the end of the episode?

robodoggos are skynet/terminators and a group of survivors go out to get something for a little dying kid that ends up being a teddy bear

There were loads of trackers under her skin so she would have been found by more doggos

Are you seriously asking that? It seems like no one in tv actually watches anything that they critique.

She decided to kill herself because when the robot dog died it expelled some gps shit that ended incrustated in the lady's skin, and more robot dogs were coming.

I felt like I accidentally clicked on another series' episode, which is pretty bad especially for Black Mirror

Why didn't it call for backup when she was stuck on the tree? Or any other point after it lost one of it's front legs?

Wilesesque

Not good. Couldn't even do a cool scene with Penderecki and Golden Brown by The Stranglers.

should've started with this dogshit episode first and gotten the trash out of the way from the get go

Most realistic as in these will exist in 10 years

you know someone at boston dynamics has strapped a gun or knife to their shit

Mentioned this in another thread but my interpretation is that the death knell tracker bomb is different. The initial track was intentional to keep track of the prey. It's inefficient to pull all the other dogs away from what they're doing to go after something one dog could take care of. But when a dog goes out of commission it releases a death track that alerts all dogs in the vicinity that this is a threat.

Shoehorned female and ethnic minority hero-protagonists, just like every single other episode; dull and devoid of any kind of point or substance. The ending with the teddy bears was maudlin and ridiculous in the extreme, and almost seems like a joke; the episode consists of, Woman runs away from uninteresting-looking robot dog that can shoot guns in post-apocalyptic world taken over by said uninteresting-looking robot dogs. That is it; nothing else; no other ideas; even the world itself looks exactly the same as modern Britain.

>Black Mirror, S4 E5 “Metalhead”

>colorized

like almost every episode of black mirror, it was fucking terrible

why build a killer dog that has to recharge after waking from sleep? if multiple robodogs roam and pick up trackers, why did they not help the lone robodog? who risks their lives for teddie bears & a van?

>Shoehorned female and ethnic minority hero-protagonists
ughhhh WHO CARESSSSS

stop getting triggered when something other than a straight white male is the main character.


all your other points are valid. i would have liked to see what lead to the wasteland.

Tracker was lodged in her jugular, removing it would mean death, which she probably did, she was dead either way

>Blinds the dog
>Its stumbling around and just drilling into a wall
>She is now perfectly safe and can leave
>Instead uses loud sound to lure it outside
>Remember at the beginning when they where careful to be really quiet incase dogs where around? well fuck that
>Doing this gets her killed
Retarded

the car wouldn't start and she probably would have had to kept running until the dog killed her. the dog was invincible it would have eventually stop drilling a hole and traced he with a fuckin heart beat or something

>now even white women are bad and shoehorned when included
>even though one of the only other THREE characters was a white dude

You realize you're just the other end of the horseshoe

Ep. 1: white woman was hero, white guy was also victim
Ep. 2 two white women and a white guy
Ep. 3 white women kills minorities
Ep. 4 white guy main character
Ep. 6 white guy doctor white guy main villain

she also stops and talks on the radio for awhile. spends way too much time in house cleaning wounds. keep moving dumb bitch

The dog was no longer a problem, thing was completely fucked since it couldnt see, even if it did still follow her she could have just thrown rocks to make it follow the sound

I really liked watching this episode. The idea was spooky and the idea was well executed.
>The fucking knife leg

>risk the lives of yourself and two other people for a stupid teddy bear
Retarded

>It seems like no one in tv actually watches anything that they critique.
How long have you been here?
Where do you think we are?

Id be interested in seeing something else set in this same world, even if it was just a comic
Theyd probably make a plot less retarded than a suicide mission for a teddy bear

Thanks for keeping score at home champ!

thought it was fucking boring, could've done so much more with it

Why didn't they fly the eagles into Mordor? What would've happened if your mother never met your father? When will people stop having shitty opinions?

Will he have the balls to write an episode about a tv show that examines the near future and gets taken over by certain forces?

Same. Everyone is giving it shit but I liked the idea of an updated slasher movie with Boston robotics tech. The black & white + knife hand prowling through the house gave me Psycho vibes. Could it have been better? Yeah. But it was still a cool concept and more interesting than some of the other episodes.

It gave me some spooks too
The shot when shes standing on the hill with her radio and just sees the dog in the distance sprinting towards her was great
