BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Executscan Expected more

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

noonmiester Definitely one of my favourite episodes. The idea is brilliant and played so well. I don't understand anybody not liking this one. If you like any of the following episodes you will love this.Nosedive White Christmas The Entire history of you Black museum Playtest White bear

darthfusion I watched this episode first by accident (due to how my Netflix was setup), and I liked it so much I watched another 2 episodes right away :PWithout getting into to too much detail, I think the episode was a perfect example of the shows synopsis: "An anthology series exploring a twisted, high-tech world where humanity's greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide."Robert Daly possesses the ability to do some remarkable things with the "innovative" tech that he has created, and he has gone one step further with his personal iteration of the tech. It would appear that his version was originally designed as a way to "get away" from the real world, but eventually evolved into a separate reality where he has taken on a bit of a god complex, and that is where his "darker instinct" shines through with those who don't play by the rules.(Sidenote, perhaps if he worked with the crew to enjoy the experience, they might have actually got into it to...)

Mikko Aarnio Like everyone has been saying in comments already, this episode has serious flaws:1) You can't copy a memory from DNA. They could have explained it by lets say having a backup of the memories (as they do on other episodes) with their head implants, but there's no way you can just access others memories and create copy of them.2) If you have Godly powers, you wouldn't act slow in case of disobedience and potentially having people to destroy themselves to stop your amusement. You could just exit the game and reappear on the spaceship, right? Or pause the game and do whatever, you're supposed to be admin. Even in WoW you have admins with commands to immediately appear next to other player (ie. I've reported several people from using bots to farm areas) and I can see them appear right in front of that guy and remove him from game.3) Even if for some reason the system freezes and even the computer runs into some glitch, wouldn't there be at least some backup for the chip to automatically turn off? Maybe a forced exit after 2 hours and asking whether you want to continue playing? Seems like a big security issue for a game or the operating system.4) The update black hole was just nonsense plot point. And escaping through it should have been skipped entirely and focused more on calling the police to shut down the PC put a stop to their mistreatment.5) Why wouldn't you have crewmembers with "real" guns? You're admin. You can make your character invurnerable to shots. Even if you were shot and could be damaged, nothing stops you from respawning again? This wasn't clearly thought out as a rule.This episode has nearly unlimited potential of showing the true terrors of what an admin could do to enslave and humiliate the human AI clones, but it for some reason was dressed up as hopeful escape from a monster... maybe they couldn't find other ways to end episode? Does it have to have an ending?In the episode about Hot Shot, there was no happy ending, there was no change in the system. The guy who got out from the system and got a nice new home to live in still was saddened by his own betrayal of what he stood for. That episode was a masterpiece. This episode... why did it have to end this way???If you want to make "kinda" happy ending then at least try to have the plot being coherent with reality. Why not just let them end their lives?Also missed opportunity to have the admin update version of the game to actually have genitalia for the newly added woman crew member that he clearly felt some attraction throughout the episode. Like this guy clearly hasn't had sex for a long time and surely you'd be at least a bit horny for the opportunity at least for the fake world with no consequences?This episode could have been way darker... like WAYYY DARKER than it originally was intended.

juanmirocks Didn't surprise me at all. The ending was flat.Is this really season 4's best episode? :(
