BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

regexfan Hang the DJ makes me realize that the writers have totally run out of ideas. What we have seen from season 4 so far are recycled, rehashed ideas from all the previous episodes. This episode, is obviously a rehashed version of San Junipero. I think this episode could be a lot more interesting if it didn't end with it being a simulation in a dating app. We've seen something similar on USS Callister, Playtest, San Junipero, and White Christmas, it has lost its magic. There are tons of other things you could write about technology gone wrong, no need to rehash old ideas. And why can't they make an episode like 'Fifteen Million Merits' anymore? Why does everything have to end with the whole thing being a simulation in an app or a video game or a software now? Either that, or they use the same old idea of projecting memory/sight into video/pictures. It's getting old. The high rating most likely come from the younger viewers, it has 2 likable main characters and a sweet, predictable love story, young people easily relate to that just like how they relate to Twilight.

cathylr The 2 main characters are perfect. The secondary one are also playing their part in a very funny way. Although not as dark as the other episodes, it is still exploring the wrong side of technology that can leave contempts.

mohanazh If you have ever seen "person of interest" the final season episode 4, you will rate this episode like me! The whole story structure is a copy, what a shame!

classicsoncall As a love story, I think this one works because the principal characters resolved in the end to be with each other, but I think anyone watching should be troubled by the inherent finality offered by a technology that seems to be accepted as unerring and inviolate. The episode speaks to how much faith younger generations place in 'others' to do the thinking for them so that they don't have to make decisions. We see this present day in the mindless desire to put government in charge of curing all ills, when it really falls to informed individuals to make the right decisions for themselves. There's some inconsistency in the writing as the story plays out. For example, with all the security personnel in place to insure 'couples compliance', why is 'The Wall' designed to have a ladder that allows people to go over it? I can't think of reason for that that would make sense; maybe we weren't supposed to think about it. It also bothered me that Amy (Georgina Campbell) and Frank (Joe Cole) engaged in sexual relationships with their programmed hook-ups when they had no desire for them. OK, I get it, but the whole point was for them to understand their true feelings for each other. I'm actually surprised there was no opt-out provision on those programmed monitors that would allow incompatible couples to break off the timed arrangement sooner. You could require the couples to tap at the same time like they did to find out how long their courtship would last. Simple enough I would think.One might think that my comments suggest I didn't care for the episode. It was okay as far as it goes, but I'm not going to get starry eyed about the whole thing like I see in a lot of the reviews here for it. The whole concept of having things done for you as if you didn't have a mind of your own is really what bothers me about the story. There's always that little bit of something that a technology can't translate properly for it's intended user. If it could, we wouldn't have hundreds of different dating websites.
