Kiwi Verse

Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape
Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose


Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone


Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill
Such a chill


And you can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke



Salvatore Sperlinga

Wake
From your sleep
The drying of
Your tears
Today
We escape
We escape
Pack
And get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before
All hell
Breaks loose
Breathe
Keep breathing
Don't loose
Your nerve
Breathe
Keep breathing
I can't do this
Alone
Sing
Us a song
A song to keep
Us warm
There's
Such a chill
Such a chill
You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your
Rules and wisdom choke you
Now
We are one
In everlasting peace
We hope that you choke
That you choke
We hope that you choke
That you choke
We hope
That you choke
That you choke

What I love is the fact that in trying to get away with his "crime" that probably would have just resulted in a charge of possession and in turn psychological help, he instead digs himself deeper and will now face major prison time because of the fact he robbed a bank and killed someone as well.

Spoiler for another Black Mirror episode Crocodile:






I like how the two episodes are quite similar, in that Kenny and the woman from Crocodile actively try to hide their crimes by culminating more and more. Its great

This episode is so sick because you feel sympathy for kenny throughout the whole episode, but then at the end you feel disgusted by him. Its a great way to make the audience engaged.

d1tzy

yeah, it’s the same with White Bear

Iona B

PerfectlyImperfect i think white bear’s even better in that respect; you start off sympathising, then you hate her, then suddenly you realise that maybe she doesn’t quite deserve what she’s getting. it’s such a strange feeling, not knowing who’s the bad guy, or if everyone is, or even if no one is.

@Iona B bingo bango bongo, I love what Black Mirror did a great job of, who are we all really, what are we capable of, what really is right or wrong when it comes to us a humans, and our lives.

d1tzy

Iona B exactly, black mirror is such a mind fuck of your morals

Just got into the show a few weeks ago... and wow. Every episode portrays one main character who (by the end) has both good and bad traits and it’s up to you as the viewer to decide if their fate is justified or not. I think the strongest feeling the show gets across is to see the gray area, or at least, bring attention to the fact that human behavior and psychology is unbelievably complicated and nuanced. Pretty much every episode ends on a sad note for the main character, and likewise almost every episode shows the main character fail to achieve their initial goal. Instead they’re presented with a perspective-changing event or series of events that give them a big slap in the face. This episode in particular is one of the strongest in the series (my opinion of course) just because Kenny is such a complex character. Even after multiple viewings, it’s impossible to objectively say if Kenny deserves what happened to him. He did a lot of bad things, and yet you can still sympathize with him in a real way. Kenny was a pedophile, and he was punished harshly for it. Some would say he didn’t suffer enough, and many others say he was unfairly treated. There is no correct answer, and each persons opinion is different from the last. Very impressive show on all fronts, will be recommending to friends whenever I get the opportunity to. :)

Most real, scariest and stressful episode of the show by far.

Jacob Macpherson it's a lot deeper than just about what he did, whilst the content he was looking at was abhorrent, it's the fact that any of us could be watched at any time, by anyone, and everyone.
If you fall asleep with your phone in your hand, you could (if someone was so inclined to do this I guess) have your face broadcasted live for everyone and anyone to see. National news for example.

Neutral Player Of LoL

@Void In other words, this show is an allegory for the used of technology

Sleepy Cat
