The most amazing episode of the Black Mirror 7 season has the prerequisites ripped right with Rick & Morty

Spoilers Below for the “black mirror” episode “Bête noire”.

After the fan response to the Short raid “Black Mirror” 6 Season on FantasyAt first glance, as 7 season it seems: each episode of the new season is based on technology, and without wool and demons. However, the prerequisite for the second episode of the “Bête noire” season is a science fiction only in technical technique. When the villain reveals its large scheme, it is difficult not to think: at what point the technology becomes so advanced that mostly magic?

The episode of Mary (Sien Kelly), a woman who feels crazy when Google is stemming, and written evidence begins to contradict her own memories. At first, she was just wrong things, as she found that the fictional restaurant “Barnies” was actually “Bernie” all this time; This is a fun back from the general Mandela’s effect An example of the people who give that they remember that “Berestaine bears” called “Berenstein Bears” when they were children.

But, as a rule, in this show, everything quickly grows. Soon the concept of nut allergies no longer exists in this world, and Maria quickly finds out that her new Verity (Rosy Mcewen) employee uses some magical necklace to rewrite reality. Of course, this is exactly what happens: in the final act, the verte shows that everything she needs to do is say something, touching her necklaces, and she will instantly teleport to alternative reality (with which an endless amount), where she said it was true. We see the great power of the necklaces in the last moments where Mary receives the necklace and proclaims itself the Empress of the world. She gets exactly what he wants instantly.

Technically, there is a scientific explanation for all this: the power of the necklace comes from a giant computer created in the Verity House. But unlike most technologies this season, which feels at least gently related to the technology of real life that exists today, the kings verity feel alien. Or rather, felt that Something from Rick and Morti. In particular, the season 6 “Episode” Rick and Morti “Full Jacob”.

This is an episode when the growl and the Morty should fight the villain named Reta Kaan, which at any moment has power to do anything at the exhibition. This power is horrible, because any advantage that heroes against it can be just canceled by opening your mouth. “You were born without bones,” he says to one character, and we see that the character is already infinite (but still conscious!) The body will immediately fall to the ground, unable to move on its own again.

The difference between Verity and Rhett Caan is that Reta Kaan should be a joke. He’s there as part of Annual Episode of Anthology ShowOne episode per season where viewers can believe that this is little matter. But the Verity Power is playing straight, what does the episode get in the last moments. The prerequisite feels something out of the cartoon while The best episodes of “black mirror” He always felt unnoticed real.

Of course, the episode is still interesting if you are ready to turn off your brain a little. You can evaluate, for example, as a “black mirror” offers a solution of how Rick and Morti could kill Reta Kaan. Mary kills the verte, acting faster than the faith can speak; She takes a gun and shoots at Verti before she can say something like “Weapons does not exist”. Omar Little once said, “You come to the king, it is better not to miss.” Well, if you come to anyone with your authority, you better shoot quickly.

No matter how stupid it is, as the finale of this episode feels, at least the first two -thirds made for some clown television. During the first act, you honestly do not know whether Maria was distraught, and tensions when we see, as Mary Spiral in the Panna (losing all her friends and staff in the process) hurt but entertaining. In the episode, the needle breaks perfectly until the allergy to the nuts finds what is so big Retcon, which gives that Maria is not a problem here.

The “Bête Noire” horror would be more effective if there was some restriction in what Verity was allowed to do if it had to follow minor rentacts with Barney’s hat or an email. These are the same, justified moments that, however, make anyone start to lose your mind. It is still a little funny that there are any technologies that are capable of such changes, but a small approach would not have attracted so much attention to this problem.

Technology in this episode could be in the same level as u Clang Technology in “USS Callister” 4 season. There, it scientifically makes the zero meaning that Robert has been able to copy the whole person (memories and all) only from the DNA sample, but the episode does not pay much attention to this story device. But the last act “Bête noire” puts the stupidity of its “sci-fi” premises at the full exhibition, and the whole story is destroyed under its weight.
