Seriously, it was a very cool twist. Not that predictable as in Nosedive and San Junipero... and the rest of the eps really. Damn "15 million merits" gotta be its counterpart, so overrated and basic to my liking. Such a great metaphor for these crude times we're living right now with the refugees and race supremacy and what not.
shareIt's not a cool twist, it's a rehash of an Outer Limits episode called "Hearts and Minds". Also, the ending is bloody bizarre. So many directions that could've went in, but they ended up with this...
shareHonestly I thought the creepiest part was that they still continue the brainwashing AFTER he leaves the service and goes home. That's what was so freaky to me. Shows they will could use the MASS system outside the army as well. Like an upgraded version of the tech in The Entire History of You.
shareMy guess at the low rating? There are a lot of sick, twisted *beep* here on these boards. And likely they saw the parallels to how right-wing Fox-bots demonize "others"...particularly Muslims.
They don't like being told Muslims are human beings. They don't like anything that suggests otherwise, or anything that suggests that it's wrong to demonize and "other"-ize the way that they do, so...they give a low rating.
You're right. This was a FANTASTIC episode.
