    Thanks so I can jump around and not miss anything since they're stand alone. Thanks I'm give it a try.

    I suggest you make it easy and just skip S1E1 and watch the rest in order.

    Enjoy!

    They have a few easter eggs callbacks in the later episodes, but they aren't relevant to the plot.

    Haven't watched them all, but my favorites in no particular order:

    Black Museum
    Hated in the Nation
    White Christmas
    USS Callister
    Men Against Fire
    The Waldo Moment

    I thought Black Museum was garbage. It's just too much of "linking all the episodes together", which I dislike. Also the race angle was a bit too heavy-handed.

    I wasn't a big fan of it, either. Too much "anthology" short story within a story that was disconnected until the end. It mirrored White Christmas which had a tighter story that meshed the short stories together better.

    The first short with the doctor and pain helmet would have been an awesome stand alone episode, hell even a cool origin story for a villain in some superhero universe.

    So I went back and watched the pilot/pig episode. I don't see what the fuss is about. Yeah it was messed up but not so much more so than any of the other's that I've watched so far (I'm up to S2E4 White Christmas)

    I've been in the same mindset, I get it's a messed up premise but hardly the worst thing I've ever run across.

    I'm mostly just tired of "hey, here's a digital version of your conscious!" storylines. How many of these have their been, like 5 now? It's so tired, and shows that Black Mirror is running out of ideas.

    It's not for me, but some of them are cool.

    I wish they'd do prequels/sequels to some of these episodes in later seasons.

    If you like this, the outer limits on Hulu is a good watch.

    Me too. What a gut punch for the ending. I was bothered by it for a week.

    The idea of a digital soul that AI, let alone other people, can play with is pretty damn disturbing to me.

    We can be callous and think it's just a collection of electrons like the characters in the series but what's that line that separates caring with uncaring?

    If another meatbag had a similar collection of thoughts and experiences as me, I'd consider them a good friend or family but if it's just a program, is it okay to make them worse than a slave even if our hopes and dreams are dumped in to make the program more real?

    I'd think so because it's just a stimulation, but that's where the head ****ery starts.

    S1 e1 is probably my favorite episode.

    Yall are either too sensitive (most likely), or just have poor taste.
