I absolutely adore that Black Mirror is one of the few show where you never know if its going to be a bad or good ending. It makes it all worth it.

@@alexisd6106 100% agree!! If you know that every ending is just gonna be cheesy and flowers and butterflies, it removes the excitement and the suspense.

Yes I totally agree with you

Also its pretty funny that "winning" for these characters means dying

Looks like they might develop a series based on this.

great delivery too

Honestly neck and neck with "Oh my fuck" after she slaps Daily

breaking bad

he learns it from anakin skywalker

literally just realized he's meth damon from breaking bad

@@LBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLBLB lol, nice

Anakin: so, I don't take anyone's as an apprentice.

Well he didn't die so it's technically not a sacrifice

@@ShivamPatel-yq7rr I think being ignited for all eternity without dying is an even bigger sacrifice, thankfully his suffering ended when the patch was enabled

@@ShivamPatel-yq7rr Walton's digital clone sure died and will never come back cause the real Cole stole back the DNA. I hope she burned it all.

Exactly. He was a maniac.

Unfortunately it was the last ever good episode of Black Mirror. The rest of series 4 and all of series 5 was terrible.

@@Pining_for_the_fjords what are you talking about series 4 was great

My person favorite .

@@Pining_for_the_fjords Hard disagree. I almost think you're trolling.

I think its sad because you can tell how Daly is just a sweet guy but hidden under so many layers of social anxiety, angst, and jealousy.

@@digitalcyclone7218 passive is NOT the same as sweet

how did it not? they're stuck in an MMO that will eventually fail. they're eventually going to tear each other apart for eternity and they cant die. Sounds very much like the book you mentioned.

Have you played the game too?

@@ChrisMcNellie i was always curious about the game. is it worth it? i used to be a HUGE PC adventure gamer in the 90s

@@erislocker I saw someone talking about it in a KZfaq video, it seemed like a crazy game.

He's Meth Damon.

@@sagnik3556 this is gold

It's true lol that actor when he was younger was used as a younger version for people like Matt Damon and some other actors

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

If you pay attention that’s the bully from like mike

I was thinking the same , when was simple just to pause game.

Right, but Daly was adamant to stop them from getting the better of him. He gets knocked down all the time in the real world so he would hate to happen in a virtual reality he created.

When he got close to the update, he was detected as a hack, and the server was shutdown. That’s why he couldn’t get out. He lost control, and he’s basically an NPC now just stuck there, until his actual body dies.

@@joshuabradberry9823 well, he could have pissed himself in his real body and the piss travel to a socket and the fuse breaks, then he's out and mad, he will re-do his mod and get the DNA of everyone back and then put them back in and permanently make nichole not be able to breath forever. And permenantly kill tommy, torture him etc. What would they have done if he didnt get stuck? Coz he could just get the DNA back pretty easy lol

@@yungthug2403 they black mailed the real Annette into stealing it that was a major part of the episode

Just about to suggest the same thing. He was absolutely brilliant.

He died? Thought he couldn’t die

He didnt

@@willemeduard thought so, that was what made the stakes higher- no chance of even death ending his pain

@@zerotohero7756i think he couldn’t die until the update. Once the update happened he died

Since everyone seems to have forgot how this ended: the crew thought going through the wormhole/update would kill them permanently. Walton sacrifices himself to restart the engine, but they think he will not die permanently like entering the wormhole would. Instead he will die in the fire, but Daly could reanimate him and he would continue to be tortured for years to come. In reality, entering the wormhole puts them online into the live MMO game. Walton, despite vaporizing in the thruster exhaust, was reanimated in the MMO game too and lives out his days with the rest of the crew. Presumably the crew will only die when the game is taken offline many years in the future, but in the show it is implied that this game is very popular and will exist indefinitely like World of Warcraft.

Thought that line was kinda cringed and forced ngl

Ironically it's Jesse's voice at the end of this episode talking to the crew

@@amputate8403 In Spanish it's Jesse's voice too xD

@@amputate8403 I see I’m a year too late to drop that little piece of info.

Then he moved to Fargo. Guy gets around

Ironically todd's actor is named jesse

Yeah Walton running is filmed exactly like Chekov in Star Trek (2009) - great spot!

Jesus christ youre everywhere Good. I love your comments

i don't feel for Daly, but i do dislike Walton as well

I don’t hate him, but I still think he’s far from admirable. He was so mad at the receptionist for ignoring him that he put her into a game where he can threaten her and others daily? Very pathetic. And it’s telling that he made his game character have combed hair, an obviously washed face, and clean clothes that suited him. Maybe he should’ve tried that in real life.

It would be interesting to see his backstory; perhaps his ability to abuse virtual clones of people who hurt him led to Daley become ever more withdrawn and unassertive in the real world, causing him to face even more abuse and exploitation at work? I could imagine him responding by retreating ever futher into his digital fantasy, and indulging in ever more extreme forms of cruelty towards his virtual crew as a way to compensate, creating a vicious cycle, until at last there was nothing left but the cruel monster we see in this episode.

Yeah i mean its all down to whether you consider the consciousnesses he copied as sentient or not. Should we apologize for mowing down NPCs in GTA? Where is the line between that kind of harmless catharsis and inflicting yourself upon an artificial sentience? If you can upload your brain to a computer, is that computer really "you"? Its crazy how black mirror can explore moral dilemmas at the same time as exploring philosophical ones, thats what makes it such a good show... Personally, sentience aside, i view the whole simulation thing as a kind of ironic pornography for him. Ironic because he was insistent on removing any genitals but it served the same kind of purpose for him. Like we have people who have these fucked up fantasies about kidnapping or torturing girls, but instead of actually doing it they just jerk off to some BDSM porn... Daly is basically living out his fantasies instead of actually hurting the people in his life that he wants to. Obviously its not healthy for him because it keeps him from actually confronting the problems in his life and its a huge violation of their privacy... I mean i couldn't think of a more intimate and private data breach than their actual fucking consciousness, but at the end of the day if its "just a video game" then... I mean we could view it in basically the same vein as finding out your coworkers deepfaked your face onto some porn.

He killed a Kid

Watch "Shut Up and Dance" And i bet you'll change your mind

@@musaalkhadim4146 shut up and dance might have been the most pointless episode in the whole show... Terrible

@@SadisticNinja sure as hell was a lot better than this dreck! Same can be said for The Entire History of You, White Christmas, Nosedive, Hated in the Nation, and Hang the D.J. - Far superior episodes!!

White Christmas is so much better

this, white christmas, and playtest were my favorites

Hello there!

@@yogiman300 I see Master's famous line evolved around KZfaq.

A surprise to be sure - but a welcome one

Now I'm curious because I've never played Eve online and I was absolutely terrified by this ending.

@@MK-hh1vo Well considering that "Infinity" is super advanced and well beyond our technology, the bugs and glitches in Eve Online are out of the question. I think they'll have an easier job "playing." And besides, death is probably something they'll welcome with open arms at some point. Maybe they'll come to terms with their digital morality

As our lead character mentioned at the beginning, " Daly is smart, but he's not infallible". She knows that Daly is not perfect and is human hence, exploitable.

One is trying to make new and interesting stories, a modern Outer Limits The other is a cash grab run by commitee

Star Trek 2009 was pretty good

@@Hasbulla761 It was an action movie masquerading as Star Trek. Modern Star Trek is, as a whole, style over substance, which is the exact opposite of what Star Trek tried to be, and usually succeeded at.

@@lobsterminion693 It was still better than this. Let's not get crazy, this was fun but can't compare to any manifestation of Star Trek...except for Enterprise which was a total dud.

The original startrek pushed a lot of boundaries creatively and socially for its time. The best of the future and now is unscripted and nonderivative as regards the past.

ok damn

He was literally a god in this game, he would have teleport or make them explode, it was just for the plot the director did that i guess

That would be a better ending honestly

@@daustin8888 No it wouldn't. This is a perfectly, well deserved, horrific ending for a villian that could have simply spoke up for himself in real life and avoided this nightmare. I loved this one just the way it is!

@@MK-hh1vo well, that's not how majority of black mirror ending works heheh

*Even data lines. It's like feeling guilty for killing people in GTA.

@@GMSirLawrence In the world of Black Mirror, these go a little beyond just simple data lines. In these episodes that deal with mapping and duplicating the workings of an individuals brain into a digital copy, it is essentially the person except with out a biological body to carry them. In this show, the digital duplication process is complete and exact. So technically they are not biologically alive but they are way passed the point of being GTA people. At the moment, this level of digital consciousness is just some good science fiction and while there is developments towards making this a reality, we can only speculate what that will really look like. So you just have to kind of think about the "in universe" use of this concept and in Black Mirror, he was murdering and torturing perfect digital clones of human beings. He was taking pleasure from killing a perfect duplication of a child's mind, with all of his memories and emotions. That is pretty F'd up.

Wht he did is no different to playing out sadistic acts in your head.

@@zerog1037 my head doesn’t use the digital consciousnesses of real people to torture. If what he created was just simply a video game with totally fictional, AI generated characters then that would be closer to scenarios played out in my brain. I haven’t wronged anyone. I didn’t illegally obtain anyone’s consciousness to do horrible things to. What makes it so twisted and wrong is him knowing that these are perfect copies of peoples minds and taking joy in things like killing a child over and over again to submit the father.

@@cinemike8207 I get tht for the episode they gave these perfect replicas consciousness, but in reality they would just be ai mimicking people. In fact you could to a degree already do this with current ai, but it won't be a perfect copy. Do you consider it unethical to copy someone's voice, face and hints of their personality on to a video game character and then mess with them? I ask because we already have this technology, but it's expensive to implement and curious about your thoughts without the consciousness aspect.

Walton is the only one that hurt him that could be seen in any way as intentional or malicious. Everyone else did nothing unreasonable towards him.

Dylan Muir I agree it is easy to think this except one woman who was trapped in there said that he trapped them all in there for doing little things to him at work. The one black girl was rude to him the other girl that eventually got them out denied that she had feelings for him and I think it hurt his feelings

Claptrap Jesus They’re unlikeable, unsympathetic, and not worth rooting for in the slightest - And they’re just digital replicas. End of story!

@@laylover7621 I do

@@laylover7621 He was just sick

Sulyya Springs He was definitely sick, but he didn't try to improve or get help. He chose to be an incel and torture Nanette's clone because she wouldn't sleep with him in real life. Don't feel guilty for him, look at him as a cautionary tale of what happens when someone becomes toxic and feels entitled to sex.

to me it is the most hated episode because its retarded to the core

???????????

Thats sociopathic

Walton's character died, Daly is the only one left.

@@Oliver-ek2nl Daly dies of dehydration though

@@Jockster109 nope, his real body pisses its self and the piss goes into a plug socket and stops the fuse and he wakes up, and takes vengence endlessly killing tommy and stopping nichole from breathing forever

He shows up at the end of the episode all re-corporealized and everything. Like, it's a total no-bullshit happy ending for the crew -- and an eternal existential nightmare for Daley.

@@reaper411b I mean Daley definitely deserved it

Eh, remember that isn’t the real world Walton speaking. Maybe he has it in him, but would never be faced with a situation so perilous where he’d be introspective enough to share it. Daly would just bring Walton back into his mod the next time he ruffled his feathers.

I disagree, this might have been intentional, I don't believe the real Walton would have ever considered apologizing, hence why this episode was fecked up on so many levels.

@@MagicNash89 I agree with you

Same difference ...thats the point of him saying "but" . Id mean my apology BUT you did this, so ....

Did you watch the show? Lmfao

except none of the people were real, including his son

Agreed. I think shut up and dance was still the most scary and disturbing, because it felt the most realistic of all episodes.

@@lucassalahub8611 Agreed! It had the least to do with advanced technology so it felt more realistic and possible. That could easily happen in real life

this is definitely a top 10 episode for me but i also really enjoy white bear

This is what he did in between breaking bad an el camino

Jessie was the voice after they enter the wormhole

You might have the biggest brain ever, but you can tell by the final convo between Daly and Walton, that Daly still hadn't figured out that his DNA samples were gone, and assumed he could just pull them (and tommy) back into the game and figured that he would try to catch up with them to immediately punish them first. So he did believe that if they escaped he could pull them back in, however he was wrong. And he didnt seem to take into account that his rogue commands would be deleted.

@@cheesecurls8705 If he logged out before being trapped, and gathered new DNA samples, would the digital version of them have the memories of the previous digital versions? Or would Daly need to start from scratch?

@@cheesecurls8705 With the disrespect aside, and I'll let that slide this once, you obviously didn't read my comment correctly before commenting. I clearly stated gathering new DNA.

@@dongadson1099 he didn't think he needed new DNA for the reason that he wasn't aware of it being gone.

@@cheesecurls8705 @Cheese Curls Whether he knew the DNA was gone or not is irrelevant. The smart thing to do in that situation to avoid any backlash would be to immediately log out and take precautionary measures. How are you not understanding this?

Flea Baguette u wish u were high as a kite

I was super high the first time I watched this too and it freaked me out so fucking bad I had a panic attack. The episode that it! Not the weed. 😂

Yeah ur cringe

you are going to say you were high as a kite in 1000 other instances too and they will be just as cringe worthy as this one.

Their code got transferred to the cloud after the mod shut down and he was fine after that

@@13_facesnah he died permanently unfortunately

well, if it helps your Minecraft villagers aren't DNA replicas of real people. ;)

Though theoretically they could have a level of sentience that isn't perceivable to us via Wreck It Ralph logic.

Atleast they get to go on a badass adventure

​@@victorlolxd7347i agree

it was a mod made by daly

Well his little world is firstly a mod, and the reason he cannot leave is because the little dot thing that put him in the game in the first place was switched out with another little dot that doesn't allow you to leave I think? I know the dot was switched out but I can't remember what the fake one did

@@bestkoi7555 the fake one was just a distraction to buy more time

I think the game disabled his controls.

what?

@@cheeriosaltcream no idea what he means…

Maybe something to do with the actor who played Todd?

Same and when i watched reactions i was confused on why they were cheering at the end

"Later, bitches."

No he wasn't about to forgive anything. He keeps chasing the crew madly and cursing at them after hearing the apology from Walton. And he doesn't has right to forgive anything since he throw the child out to the space.
