Kelly sucked.

Kelly was an @$$h013. Yorkie should of broken up with her.

She actually slapped Yorkie in the face just for asking her to stay in San Junipero.

This was because she was ranting that Yorkie couldn't possibly understand being in a relationship and marriage, and the experience that she had. The audacious thing about this was that this was after she had learned that Yorkie had been in a coma since she was 21. And also, Yorkie just asked. It's not as if she put a lot of pressure on her.

She probably did all of it just for the drama, but the significance is she proved she didn't care about Yorkie at all and that she had no understanding of her or her life experience. Also, Yorkie was such a down to earth stable person reacting in such a dramatic fashion was really over doing it.

Then, after she said she only proposed to her to be nice which was pretty cold, she sped off like the world's biggest diva.

Kelly was clearly just a big drama queen. She made a point of saying that she was insincere, immature and completely lacking in empathy. After chasing her around through every time period, Kelly was nothing more than one night stand material.

I would of taken the car crash as karmic revenge and broken it off with her while she still writhing on the ground.

A much better episode of Black Mirror would of been, if they had gotten together and they were together in the after-life once Yorkie had realized this epic mistake and the horror of being stuck in eternity with someone as vacuous and full of it as Kelly.

HAVE.

Kelly's biggest crime was not realizing that her pain isn't the worst or only pain in the room and everyone is guilty of that sometimes. She got over it and allowed herself and Yorkie to finally be happy. How terrible!

Well, how could she of had such a boner moment after just learning that. IMO Kelly was just Yorkie's first and she probably didn't realize what an ordinary person she was. There really wasn't anything that special about her.

[–] CoachGilligan 8 years ago

There's nothing really special about anybody. We all have someone who loves us anyway.

i don't know if you meant that to be deep, but this really resonated with me

[–] CoachGilligan 8 years ago

I was lying through my teeth. If we're being honest we don't ALL have someone who loves us.

Ha! But I just meant the first sentence.

Nailed it.

Kelly's biggest crime was not realizing that her pain isn't the worst or only pain in the room and everyone is guilty of that sometimes.

But she did know her pain wasn't the biggest in the room. She felt superior to her because she had had experiences Yorkie wasn't able to.

She got over it and allowed herself and Yorkie to finally be happy. How terrible!

It is terrible. Yorkie was naive and needy. I think Kelly would be ok for a first love, but she's no love-of-your life. Can you imagine being stuck with Kelly for eternity. In the very least that's a billion years of Kelly.

The truth is whenever a person is needy or emotional they project a bunch of stuff onto people that was never there to begin with and the more rejected they are the more they do it. And if they're naive, especially if it's a first time, then you don't even know it's happening.

If the romance had been straight, Kelly would have been the hard-partying sexy bad-boy stud that eventually falls for the nice girl. Like Grease.

[–] gentey 8 years ago

Very like Grease and not very much like Black Mirror.

She slapped her in the face because she called her dead husband of 49 years selfish and hinting that she was too, simply because she didn't choose to live in a dream world with Yorkie. I'm glad she changed her mind but her anger in that moment was justified.

[–] danavenell 8 years ago

Violence in such situations is never justified.

[–] bakkemartin 8 years ago

It was a slap on the cheek.. Out of line maybe, but let's not act like she did her any physical harm.

[–] DeftPunk79 8 years ago

It's completely justified.

[–] danavenell 8 years ago

Would it have been justified if Kelly was a man?

[–] FigtherOfTheNightMan 8 years ago

I agree that you should never hit your partner but her pain sliders were set to zero if you remember. I doubt she'd slap her otherwise.

It was more Kelly lashing out in a physical way to cause the same emotional pain that Yorkie caused her. She had a huge emotional decision looming about whether to spend eternity in a simulation or go into the unknown to find her husband and daughter and Yorkie was treating it lightly and calling her husband selfish. That would piss anyone off.

[–] gentey 8 years ago

I think she did that because she was a big drama queen.

[–] moustachegai 8 years ago

haha, black mirror, promoting abuse as a form of advice for an everlasting relationship

[–] DeftPunk79 8 years ago

I agree that Kelly was an *beep* but Yorkie completely deserved that slap.
