I was honestly thinking/waiting for the same explanation. Haha.

Makes perfect sense. But why not invent a whole new alien? Why modify an existing piece of canon (again)?

What's done is done. What I'd simply like to know is the why. Maybe it's in this article somewhere, but I gave up halfway. Probably just too sleepy atm. Someday I'll read a source that gives a sensible why. Because what I've heard never really made sense. Why keep so much intact and change one thing so drastically?

Precisely my thought as well. In the long run, the order alone won't amount to anything. It needs to be followed up. Not simply by other executive orders, but by other necessary reforms.

I guess I'm mostly interested and hopeful in the possible reform portion. The industry simply can't be bludgeoned into compliance as he thinks he can achieve with everything. It will take careful planning, reorganization, and, gasp, additional controls and regulations.

You nailed it regarding closure and the therapeutic nature of it. That's exactly how I took it. Life throws a lot at people. We can't stop that. It's simply a byproduct of existence.

Sometimes closure is hard to find, so it was really nice to see that happen for someone. There are some things in my own life that still weigh quite heavy and it was nice to co-experience the feelings of Paul Giamatti's character.

Thanks again for this. It was really helpful.

Watched Eulogy in the living room and one of my kids was kids hard in the feels zone. I chose to focus on the positive and really liked the episode. They wanted to know if this was how Black Mirror always was, so we watched my fav episode of San Junipero. Goodness do I love that one.

Anyway, I really enjoyed all the rest of the season.

That first episode really hit me hard, so I was worried about the rest. Maybe it was bad timing. More likely that it just hit too close to home. Add in the advertising economy in real life and how it's everywhere, stealing your info, and blocking everything from any semblence of a good experience. It just got to me. I will never understand the irony in Netflix releasing this episode.

Oh no.

The thought of subscriber based healthcare genuinely freaks me out.

Super cute! 💜

So freaking real, right? Gaa. Awful because it's too possible. Butttttt... As far fetched as some episodes can be, this is what the creators are aiming for. 😅

And so fitting because I had to recently drop Netflix and other services to crappy ad tiers because I can't afford them any more. In the end, we can live without these things. But this episode was making me so mad because it was literally life or death. And no talk of how the government was doing anything to stop it. Just too real.

This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I knew someone could do this. I really appreciate you taking the time. Seriously. 💜
