Do you have a favorite sci-fi movie or TV series? 👽

It was the loop situation that really got to me - I find the idea of living the same thing over and over hellish. At least with Groundhog Day nothing that awful happens, but in this scenario it’s a neverending nightmare - and I don’t think she knows it’s repeating, either.

Honestly I missed that. I thought that bit at the end was just a flashback.

Well I think they wipe her memory and do it all again (if I remember correctly). At that point I was like I think it’s almost worse for the observer, actually - maybe it’s not so bad if you’re oblivious that you’re reliving it.

[milanfahrnholz]

Yeah thinking back that makes more sense economically . Because it would really seem like too much effort to do just once.

Oh and nice to see someone else finally chiming in!

Yes! I realized you guys were talking about Black Mirror, and I was coincidentally watching it for the first time right now as well. I am now about half way through “White Christmas” and I think it’s my favorite so far. Jon Hamm is amazing.

[milanfahrnholz]

That’s literally what I’m doing right now as well! I think the term Jon Hamm Christmas episode may very well be a redundancy.

[milanfahrnholz]

Yeah I liked that christmas episode, certainly took lots of twists and turns. Maybe a bit too much, but at least that kept the plot going to justify it´s running time, and of course Jon Hamm was really great.

I’m going to finish it tonight. And I am going to stop reading this topic until I do

Please don´t block me, though!

[besmaller]

Nice. Wow, that 3 week / 6 month scene was very interesting. It was longer than expected, but I really liked that one.

Remember the X-Files Episode (duh!) where Mulder and Scully get caught in a bank robbery and it turns out it´s the girlfriend of the bankrobber that is responsible for the timeloop and can only end it by dying? Yeah that was bad…

And for something much much worse check out the Twilight Zone episode Shadow Play. No hope there…

Yeah, Monday. It made me think of that too. A great episode but also had me flapping.

I should get round to watching The Twilight Zone.

@milanfahrnholz

much much worse

Or not, maybe.

[milanfahrnholz]

@PiecesOfKate

Or not, maybe.

Too late, you know you want to…

[PiecesOfKate]

Well I’ll add it to–

Yes, sir. I’ll watch it right away. Will there be anything else?

[milanfahrnholz]

@PiecesOfKate

Will there be anything else?

Mhhh, let´s see…I think I would like to hear:

[milanfahrnholz]

Starting Series 3 now…

[milanfahrnholz]

Hey I know this might sound super weird. But the episode Nosedive seems to have the exact same premise as the Community Episode with the MeowMeowBeenz App…

[PiecesOfKate]

I can’t comment as haven’t seen much Community (I couldn’t get into it!) I liked that Black Mirror episode though. Worryingly believable.

Just watched Hang the DJ from series 4 which was a good’un.

[milanfahrnholz]

Just got done with Playtest, that was great! Super creepy and “Young Jeff Bridges” was tons of fun to watch!

[PiecesOfKate]

Yeah, the ending left me feeling arrrrgh! In a good way.

Haha, he is a bit like Jeff Bridges. He’s Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s son. But you probably knew that.

[milanfahrnholz]

Oh that´s him, I forgot about that. That makes so much sense. Kurt Russell and Jeff Bridges aren´t that much unlike.

Just saw, Shut Up And Dance. What a supermean fucked up thing. I think so far I can say I´m liking Series 3 a whole lot better than the first two.

Will see the remaining 3 episodes of the season tomorrow.

It definitely gets better as it goes on.

Ooooh you’ve got my favourite one next. Lots of people consider it the best one. I have a theory as to why but will wait until you’ve seen it.
